Customer Review: Poor documentation. Awkward to use.
I was looking for something simple to use. This is not it. It is not intuitively obvious and the documentation is very poor. Also I can rotate a picture and it stays rotated but if I zoom a picture it reverts back to the original. This is my first experience with a digital frame so maybe I'm just a dummy but I don't recommend it. I didn't load their software because I once bought a Kodak camera and the software for that was very intrusive and annoying.
Customer Review: I like it for basic photos
When I bought this for my grandparents, I was looking for something easy. To be frank, I just wanted a flash drive port. All I had to do was plug the frame in, insert the card, and hit go. Poof! Easy as pie for grandma and grandpa. I have no intent to explore all the features that probably made this so expensive, but if you're in the same situation I am, it works. And on a Mac too. :)

Have you ever seen a reproduction of an old master painting on a poster, and then seen the original in a museum? The difference is only in the material: the reproduction is only a photo print on paper, which looks flat and lifeless and lacks texture, while the original is painted directly onto canvas, which has a beautiful nature texture visible to the eye. Canvas also brings out the best pigments in the painting. What's more, its subjects look truly alive and human - look into the eyes of the Mona Lisa and you will feel she is looking back at you. This masterful artistic effect can only be achieved with canvas.

Have you ever looked at your own photos after they have been printed and thought they seemed kind of lifeless - that they didn't truly capture the emotion, vitality and artistry of the shot?

Well, try the latest new thing: photo printing on canvas. It makes your photo prints truly special, its texture bringing out the life and beauty of your image. Capturing the shot is only half the battle; all the beauty of the original shot can be lost in an instant with a bad print. It might seem like an unusual idea, but that's what has been attracting so many people to it recently, including professionals, business people, artists and amateur photographers. It is an unusual idea. Printing your photos on canvas is an artistic way of displaying your photos, a special, thoughtful gift for a loved one.

Canvas printing involves a lot of laborious and delicate work, and it's best to entrust the job to true professionals in the business who will do the job with care and skill won from years of experience. Wouldn't you rather receive a gift that's been lovingly and carefully worked on rather than one that's been spat out by a printing machine? That's what you get when you choose canvas over paper. Canvas printing truly offers the human touch. It has to be worked on by hand, to stretch, seal and frame the material. The print also has to be protected by using only the finest materials. The print has to be made with UV-resistant pigments and sealed with a water-resistant sealer. Canvas printing, all in all, is not an impersonal process like paper printing. Spend some time, thought and care on a gift, rather than money, and you will realize the true joy of gift-giving.

You might think that such a process would involve great expense, especially when you take into account the amazing quality of the print and its unbelievable durability (it lasts a good hundred years if you take care of it). But it's surprisingly cheap - a basic print comes for less than $30 at some of the best companies. More customized prints also come at reasonable rates. It's more than worth it for the human touch. What's more, with a reputed company, you will get a full guarantee on the product if you're not completely satisfied. Try it out. You have nothing to lose.

Customer Review: Kodak M829 Digital Picture Frame
This digital picture frame is very easy to use even without the manual. Everything you need is on the touch screen. Very easy to use from your digital camera, flash drive or the computer. Also the videos that I tried from my digital camera played very well and where clear. I haven't as yet tried any music. The clock feature that turns the picture frame on and off is a very convient idea but be sure you use the 24 hour cycle, I didn't understand this at first and couldn't get mine timer working right. I did have a little trouble coping picture files to my SD card but I think, I need to put them on my computer first and see if that is what is need to get them on my SD card, not sure about this right now, but I will try it and see if that works. Overall I'm very please with the Kodak digital picture frame and would recommend it to anyone as a gift for the Holidays.
Customer Review: Does not work like it says
I purchased this product two days ago and I am taking it back. I purchased this paticular frame because it goes with my Easyshare camera, and I like the word EASY when it comes to some of this Hi Tech stuff. I have to say it was easy to get my photos on, no problem, but The Video feature didn't work. The videos played very slow and the audio was slow and muted, when I played it for the first time it frightened my daughter, she thougth there was a monster in the frame. I called Kodak, they said to send it back. I don't want to purchase another one and have the same problem again.

One day you spot an interesting small stone wall.Just past that you notice a pretty young girl playing in a field of flowers.Behind that you notice an old weathered barn with an old tractor sitting in front."Ah", you say to yourself, "the perfect photo". But is it really?No.It may be the perfect series of photos, but that's a different story.

This picture would fail as a great shot; A) because it is far too complex a composition, and B) the camera has no way to effectively focus your attention on four different subjects on four different planes at the same time.Let's break this down to the more realistic shots.

Photo #1 - - - You get down low enough that you see the stone wall in the foreground with the classic barn and tractor in the background.Using selective focus, the wall is sharp and the barn and tractor are a soft hazy pastel type background.

Photo #2 - - - You lean over the fence, zoom in on the young girl with the field of flowers as the background.Using selective focus, you make the girl in sharp focus and the flowers around her gradually get softer and softer.Your camera is at enough of an angle that your do NOT include the barn and tractor in this image.

Photo #3 - - - Getting the owners permission first, you climb over the fence.You compliment the little girl on the pretty flowers; then you shoot past her using the flowers as the foreground and the barn as the background.You may again want to get down low so that the flowers become more dominant.Using selective focus, you focus on the flowers about one third of the way into the field, making them sharp and still having the rest of the field and the barn in soft focus.

Photo #4 - - - Since you already have the owners permission, you walk around the field until you get close enough to the barn and tractor.This time you decide to get down really low (you are laying on your stomach).You fill 2/3rds of the frame with the tractor.Using selective focus, you make the tractor in sharp focus and the barn is now soft focus.

These are the basic shots I would shoot in this situation.Now admittedly there are other possible combinations.You could; (for example) put the tractor in the lower 1/3rd of the frame, then focus on the barn and deliberately make the tractor itself go soft focus. This way the tractor is framing the rest of the shot.To be honest there are dozens of possibilities, but each of those still boils down to one main subject and one supporting background (or foreground).

Yes, the camera can technically take a shot with everything in it.But the human mind is only going to focus on one story, or one set of foreground/background images at a time.Your job is not to capture the universe of possibilities all at one time and confuse your viewer.Your job is to point out the individual miracles within the universe so that your viewer can appreciate them more than they ever have before.

The most powerful images in history are those that are simple and direct.They tell a story.The viewer should immediately be drawn to your image and feel an emotional impact.This can not happen if he or she has to visually sort through all the clutter you left in the image.If you want to be award winning, if you want to get published, if you want to sell your work . . . keep it simple.

Customer Review: Sending This One Back
I was very disappointed in this product. I bought it on sale and loved the idea of having a touch screen option. When I brought it home, opened the packaging, I realized that all I had to do was plug it and go. The think was I couldn't go. The screen was not reacting to touch. I did notice the same thing at the store, but I thought that the sample product was just messed with too much. Not the case, my brand new one is the same way, none reactive. The screen seem to freeze on the menu. I turned it off after several minutes, tried again and the same thing happened. I again, turned it off and packaged it back up and I will be getting a different model. Very disappointing.
Customer Review: not recommended
The frame is nice looking and the touch screen borders were the selling point. However, the touch controls were very slow in response. The screen would freeze up and sometimes it would not read the memory card. Perhaps we might have gotten a defective one, but we returned it to Amazon and will purchase one with a more reliable remote control.

Panasonic has released yet another top product to help compete with the other top Plasma Screen Televisions Manufacturers which keeps them up with the current competition.

Kodak EasyShare SV811 8-inch Digital Picture Frame

Kodak EASYSHARE SV811 Digital Picture Frame is perfect for on-the-spot viewing of digital pictures and videos from any digital camera, home PC via USB and all memory cards.
Customer Review: Great Pricing for Great Item. Shipping was fast
Item was received quickly. Item is great to hold pictures and play videos. Great as gift for family and friends
Customer Review: An OK frame for the money
This is an OK, average product. Very basic software, relatively easy to use and I like the fact that it allows a 1gig space on the SD card. The only problem that is very irritating is that you can not randomize the photos. It just loops them in the order they are on the card.

If you're looking for an LCD TV comparison, you're probably already in love with the idea of hanging a flat screen TV on your wall. It's really amazing how technology has progressed to the point where you can hang a big screen TV on your wall, then sit back and enjoy a fantastic HDTV picture of your favorite TV shows or sporting events.

Even more amazing is that as pictures have improved by leaps and bounds, the TVs have gotten thinner, and prices have plummeted. You know that any TV you choose is bound to net you a superb picture and slim form factor.

That being said, you know all the LCD TVs out there can't be the same, can they? Surely there must be some differences, right? Well, yes there are. There are a few things that some TVs do better than others and when making an LCD TV comparison, you should know how to find the differences. Although LCD TV prices have declined substantially in recent years, you want to be sure you're getting the most TV for your money, and the best one for your particular application.

One of the first things to think about is the physical size of the set. If it wasn't so common it would be funny, but people will often make or buy a cabinet, then try to find a TV to fit in the space allocated. Many times they're thwarted form going up to the next larger sized TV because one of the cabinet dimensions is an inch or so too small.

Take the time to choose your TV first, if you have the opportunity. This will also prevent you from designing or buying a cabinet for a particular TV, only to find it's been discontinued when it comes time to buy the TV.

The next thing is to look at some of the new LCD TVs with thin bezels. For example, this can allow you to fit a 40" TV where only a 37" set would fit before. Something to be aware of is that sometimes these extra thin bezel LCD TVs are deeper than their normal beveled cousins. If you're putting your new TV in a cabinet, this may not be a concern to you, but the extra 2" - 3" may make a big difference if you're hanging the set on a wall.

If the TV will fit where you'd like to put it, a check on picture quality is in order. After all your buying a new TV to watch it, and there are some ways you can compare the picture quality to determine which set has a better picture.

One problem with just looking at a set on the showroom floor is that rarely are all the TVs correctly adjusted for the best picture. Often they're shipped and set up in what the industry terms "torch mode". This is slang for having the settings adjusted to take advantage of most customer's preference for the brightest TV they see. If there are 10 TVs lined up, they'll gravitate toward the brightest one. In many cases the brightest TV is not the one with the best picture, especially if it has been adjusted to look artificially bright.

Most LCD TVs, especially 1080p sets, have more than enough brightness for any viewing situation, save putting the set in direct sunlight, but no brightness or contrast adjustment will save you there. The point is that looking at a TV in the showroom will often not provide you with an accurate representation of the set's available picture quality.

When shopping for an LCD TV, a 120Hz refresh rate is one feature that has gone a long way toward eliminating the motion artifact problems that used to be so prevalent in LCD televisions. It is common on most manufacturer's better LCD sets now and is known by many trade names.

Sharp has no trade name for their sets with the 120Hz feature, calling it just "120Hz frame rate conversion", Toshiba uses the moniker "ClearFrame", Mitsubishi prefers "Smooth 120Hz", and Sony's marketing department came up with "Motionflow 120Hz". It all means basically the same thing. Your LCD with this technology will look much better on fast moving images, like sports and scrolling text, than TVs without it.

If you're looking at one of the newest TVs, make sure they have plenty of inputs for connecting your BluRay player, cable box or satellite receiver, computer, or digital camcorder. In many instances, you will connect everything up to your surround sound receiver, then run a single cable to your TV.

For those not using a surround receiver, having plenty of inputs becomes vitally important. Make sure you have art least 3 HDMI inputs so you can get the best possible picture from HD digital video sources. A couple of component video inputs for older sources such as DVD players is a good idea as well.

Most new TVs have a digital tuner built in so you can connect an HDTV antenna and pick up signals broadcast over the air. Some TVs have what's called a QUAM tuner. This will allow you to get unencrypted digital cable programming. In many cases the cable company will broadcast local channels in full HDTV resolution "in the clear". That means they are not encrypted and you can watch them with no cable box, just the QUAM tuner built into your TV.

This will give some things to look for when comparing new LCD TVs. Whatever TV you decide to buy, you will get many years of enjoyment from your new set.

Discover how to find the best LCD TV. One simple thing could separate you from getting the best TV for your application and wasting hundreds of dollars, then ending up with the wrong set. Don't let that happen to you! See the 1080p LCD TV Comparison Guide now.

Customer Review: Wonderful product
I can't say much that others haven't said, so I'll just say we're really happy with our Kodak EasyShare 10-inch Digital Frame. It was simple to set up. We just loaded pictures onto a flash drive and plugged that into the frame. Beautiful clear pictures, smart-looking frame. We're definitely pleased!

All Olympus digital cameras have digital image stabilization to eliminate blurs if any happen due to a shaking camera or moving objects; the user has the privilege to take crisp and clear pictures with greater degree of sensitivity as well as quick shutter speeds. Olympus digital cameras also have all-weather reliability thanks to their durable design that contains protective seals and gaskets that allow the user to shoot pictures with confidence in rain or shine.

With expanded capabilities, there are no limits to what one can do with Olympus digital cameras; add-on lenses, flashes and underwater housing are a few among many options. In addition, Olympus digital cameras have zoom and lens quality par excellence; their impressive zoom helps the user frame and capture fantastically accurate shots with the same precision-crafted optics as are used in digital SLRs.

The frame is nice looking and the touch screen borders were the selling point. However, the touch controls were very slow in response. The screen would freeze up and sometimes it would not read the memory card. Perhaps we might have gotten a defective one, but we returned it to Amazon and will purchase one with a more reliable remote control.

After quite a few years now of Digital Photography I have amassed a huge number of photos which are safely backed-up on my External Hard Drive. I have printed off some of the better ones and kept them in an album for safe-keeping, I've also made a few calendars using a Calendar Kit in conjunction with a range of my favourite photos.

I've also provided a highly entertaining slide show (don't laugh) for the pleasure of my family last Christmas (using the Sandisk Photo Album). But what other options do I have to help me display my other photos, as most of them are currently sitting in binary form on my hard drive, mostly unseen. After searching the web, the first display idea I discovered was the great innovation of Digital Photo Frames! These nifty devices are basically tiny flat screen monitors in a frame.

After hooking up to a computer or inserting a memory card, the picture frame will display and cycle through any photos found on the memory card. There are currently a variety of Digital Photo Frames available at a variety of different prices, the cheapest I found was around the 70 mark for a 5.6 inch frame and around 150 for a 7 inch frame. These prices will drop over the next year or two as the manufacturing cost of colour screen technology falls. I may well pick one of these devices when that happens.

Online photo album services was the next topic I stumbled upon, these seem to have sprung up all over the web, many offering a simple way of posting photos on to the web, so family and friends can browse your photos at their leisure. The possibility of putting my photos on the Internet really tickled my fancy. There are many free online services available making it possible for people with very little computer knowledge to easily select their favourite photos and post them to a private area on the Internet for family and friends to view. This service cuts out a lot of technical know-how that would normally be required to get your photos on the web. However if you have the time and wish to build your own photo web site, there are plenty of tutorials on the web that will take you through the process from buying a domain name through to uploading files to the web, step by step.

During my research, I found many Internet companies offering lab quality prints from your Digital Photos, sent directly to your door. By simply selecting your favourite images from your computer and having them electronically sent via the company's website you can purchase copies of your chosen prints from as little as 1 penny per photo. There are also many other printing options available, for instance you can have your photos printed onto items such as mugs, t-shirts, dinner placemats, teddy bears, cushions and other items you probably have never dreamed of printing onto!

Another service commonly found at these photo websites, is canvas printing. Canvas printing is where your digital photos are printed directly onto a specially coated canvas and then box mounted, ready for hanging. Up until recently, having digital images printed on to canvas has been an expensive process. Thanks to some changes in the way canvas prints are made, it has become much more affordable to get those special photos turned into classy, eye-catching pieces, guaranteed to bring any bland wall to life.

Canvas prints are generally available in sizes starting at 40 x 30cm up to about 160 x 120cm. Please note that some digital images (mainly images below 4 mega-pixels) may not be suitable for this scale of enlargement, it's well worth checking this out with the photo website before parting with any money.

Besides all the online services available, a variety of Automated Photo Kiosks have appeared in our high street stores. These Kiosks allow you to simply insert a memory card from your digital camera and select images you would like to print. After inserting some money your chosen photos are printed and dispensed on the spot. The Kodak kiosks are also equipped with an option to burn your photos onto a CD for safe-keeping. This is a convenient option for people that either do not have a computer or a printer to use, but love the freedom of Digital Photography.

Out of these discoveries, I am keen to try and get my photos up on the internet for the world see. This can be done nice and quickly for free! I think I will also send a couple of my best photos off to have box mounted canvas prints made to hang up at home.

Customer Review: Poor documentation. Awkward to use.
I was looking for something simple to use. This is not it. It is not intuitively obvious and the documentation is very poor. Also I can rotate a picture and it stays rotated but if I zoom a picture it reverts back to the original. This is my first experience with a digital frame so maybe I'm just a dummy but I don't recommend it. I didn't load their software because I once bought a Kodak camera and the software for that was very intrusive and annoying.
Customer Review: I like it for basic photos
When I bought this for my grandparents, I was looking for something easy. To be frank, I just wanted a flash drive port. All I had to do was plug the frame in, insert the card, and hit go. Poof! Easy as pie for grandma and grandpa. I have no intent to explore all the features that probably made this so expensive, but if you're in the same situation I am, it works. And on a Mac too. :)

What is the LCD Touch of Color anyway? You may ask. Is it a publicity stunt of Samsung, a technological innovation, or simply a marketing strategy thought by Samsung? Maybe we can say that it is a little bit of each.

The competition in the market in LCD TV has been increasing over the years. One must stand out in the market to get noticed. Samsung has thought of a brilliant plan to do this. They introduced Touch of Color to the market. This proved to be successful because they turned out to be a hit among the consumers as they are wildly sought after. The design of Touch of Color is unique. It has a distinctive amber color which is combined with the conventional black for an elegant and attractive appearance. People want their television to still look attractive like a piece of art even though it is not being used. Other manufacturers are expected to follow this trend with their own unique features in the years to come.

The design of Touch of Color is made for the outside of the TV. It does not make any sound or light up when turned on. But of course, the more important thing there is whether your TV will perform brilliantly when you turn it on. Samsung does not let you down. It offers 1080 pixel picture for an ultimate HD resolution which delivers to you clear and crisp images capturing the real meaning of high definition TV.

Response time offered by Samsung TV is 4ms and the frame rate is 120 Hz. Their Auto Motion Plus technology has the ability to double the frame rate from 60 Hz to 120 Hz. This technology allows the TV to alter between framed for a smooth shifting. This makes it great for watching sports or other shows and movies which have many fast moving actions since this model of LCD handles motion well unlike the earlier models.

Samsung TV offers a contrast ratio of 50,000:1, a great improvement from the previous year 25,000:1. Contrast ratio establishes the ability of the TV to generate dark blacks or dazzling whites. Having a higher contrast ratio will help avoid an image that is washed out which can be observed in TVs that have lesser contrast ratio.

Using a built-in Ethernet port, access to free RSS new, stocks, weather, sports, and many more is made possible by InfoLink.

The design of Touch of Color is sure to be a big hit with consumers. This might probably start a drift towards having TV as an art piece instead of just a simple TV. The superb design of Samsung's Touch of Color will certainly be worth your money.

Customer Review: Cool little photo frame for the bucks
Pro: Very nice little Picture frame, especially for the money. Bright display and very easy to use. Even comes with a remote control. Con: After rotating any pictures and turning the unit off, the frame looses the orientation of the previously rotated pictures on startup. A royal pain! I would think Kodak could fix this in a firmware update. Info: A standard usb flash memory stick will stick out past the edge of the frame and looks like @#@, however I bought a neat little 2 GB miget usb/flash memory that solves that problem. http://www.kingston.com/flash/dtmini_migo.asp The unit does not support the compact flash but has the ability to copy pictures from usb flash to any of the supported cards.
Customer Review: Nice inexpensive digital picture frame
This is a nice digital picture frame for under $75. The real nice thing about it is that it is a 4:3 aspect ratio instead of the 16:9 that most 7" and 8" frames are. This is very important because it means that you wont have to crop the pictures off your camera to make them look right. Just resize them if you want and go...My only complaint is that you cant view the pictures in random order, but no big deal.

This is a major question that many photographers may ask. The decision however is based on how much time you are willing to put into reviewing the cameras and what they offer, what you intend to do with the camera, and considering the options as they come your way.

Questions to Consider:

What are my intentions?

Am I creating Web Pages?

Am I ultimately attempting to go pro?

What type of camera would suit me best?

Do I need high-resolution or low-resolution?

What do the pixels matter?

Do I want film or digital?

What are you intentions? If you merely want a camera to perform a few tasks here and there, such as taking your own family photos, you might try out the line of SLR low-end models or else the standard compacts.

If you are off to the journey of pro photography, you will need an interchangeable camera, to produce the types of pictures desired, especially if you are going for sport photography. If you are venturing to snap wildlife shots, or create, documentary pictures then you will need to consider the rangefinders or the wide-angled cameras. As for documentaries, you may want to toss in a high-quality camcorder, since you could possibly go on air with your doc. Hey, a moment of wishful thinking, but it could happen. One thing you want to keep in mind is that at what time you consider a camera for high-quality pictures, you want to stay in the range of medium formatting cameras since many will deliver quality. You will need a large frame camera if you are considering films, yet other cameras have proven to work wonders.

If you are creating web pages, a low-resolution camera will do just fine. The resolution for web page images should remain at 72dpi (dots per inch). If you use a higher resolution it will only slow the process of page downloads.

Now is the question, are you going pro or are you flying so low? If you are going pro, you may want to research the line of AF SLR cameras in 35mm logic. On the other hand, if you are thinking so low, you can view the Direct Vision lines, Digital and Film Compact, and the likes.

What type of camera would suit you best depends on you. You will need to consider your budget, compatibilities of your systems, film, or digital, and the like.

Do you need high or low resolution depends on you again. At least to a degree, the decision is yours. If you are creating web pages then a standard camera with low-resolution is your best bet. Most times, you can find cheaper cameras for website creation.

The pixels do matter. Since if you are going to work as pro off the web then you will need the highest pixel camera to achieve high quality photos. On the other hand, if you are designing web pages you will need the lowest pixels, say at around 72dpi for the best results.

Well do you want film or digital? Digital works off a scanner, printer, and computer, or even from a card or camera. While some of the film, cameras require that you purchase a roll of film to snap shots. If you want to keep investing in film that may be outdated someday as digital takes over, then go for the film. On the other hand, go digital and produce your own photos on a software program and computer. The pictures may come out more to your likings.

This is very important because it means that you wont have to crop the pictures off your camera to make them look right. Just resize them if you want and go...My only complaint is that you cant view the pictures in random order, but no big deal.

From all of the books, advertisements, and products in stores it would appear that no one continues to use a film camera. This isn't true of course. Although a digital camera can offer much greater control during the editing process and perhaps even a cost savings over the long run, a traditional film camera still has advantages for some consumers. One of those being that if their film camera is a good one and meets their needs, there is no reason to change.

However, for those who do decide to switch to a digital camera there will be significant differences to which they must adjust. Certainly the technology behind a digital camera makes them different; how images are captured and stored, the optics themselves, pixels, resolution, and so forth. But there are a handful of basic changes to which even those who photograph on a very limited and casual basis will need to adapt.

Response Time

With a more affordable, point-and-shoot type digital camera there can be a significant delay between pressing the button and the camera actually taking the picture. These cameras are somewhat like a small computer. During the lag time it is focusing but this can cause some great shots to be missed.

Of course, spending the time to shop for a camera with less lag time is one solution; and certainly many of the more expense models don't suffer this issue. However, there is a simple adjustment which can produce a significant reduction in the lag time. The photographer can set up the shot, aim the camera at the subject, and press the button down half way and hold it. At this point, the digital camera will begin the process of focusing. Then, a couple of seconds or more later, when the photographer and subject are ready, the button is depressed entirely and the picture is taken almost immediately. Obviously, this requires the photographer to anticipate and prepare before taking a shot.

Battery Life

Because much of what a digital camera does consumes energy from the battery, they are known to drain batteries very quickly. One of the particularly power greedy functions unique to a digital camera is that of powering an LCD screen. Again there are a number of things users can do to assure they don't run out of power and to reduce the rate at which the camera uses the energy.

To avoid a trickling discharge, batteries should be removed from the camera when the device won't be used for more that a week or two and, likewise, a digital camera should be powered off if the user doesn't anticipate taking a shot for another 30 minutes or so. Using the "sleep mode" is good also, to assure that even if the user forgets, the camera gets powered off.

Using the viewfinder instead of the LCD screen to frame shots is wise when you wish to save power. Users can also avoid using flash whenever their subject is more than 12 feet or so away, since the flash will be ineffective anyway and drain power needlessly. Those traveling with a digital camera also need to be sure to carry a backup battery to avoid problems.

A final recommendation is to use other power sources when possible. Use AC power when performing various functions such as downloading or use a card reader to download from the memory cards and remove the camera from the process entirely. Pictures can be edited on the computer rather than on the camera to save additional power.

The Viewing System

A digital camera often has an optical viewfinder which is separate from the lens through which the camera takes the picture. Thus, when a subject is somewhat near, what a photographer sees, and what the camera sees are two different things. Using the LCD to frame a shot is also difficult because in order to see the screen, the camera is held away from the body, making it difficult to hold the camera steady for a good shot. The fix for this is to use the "correction marks" visible through the viewfinder which approximate the border of the image that the camera is seeing versus using the LCD screen. This also allows the user to keep the camera closer to the body in a steady fashion.

Another option is to buy a camera with an electronic viewfinder which takes the image captured by the lens, and electronically transfers it to a display screen allowing the user to accurately frame the picture. Use of an electronic viewfinder however will increase power consumption.

The third option is to buy a digital camera with a TTL mechanism. With TTL, the photographer views a scene through the same lens that records the image and is thus able to frame a scene accurately. This option however is generally available only on more expensive camera models.

Despite these differences, digital cameras do offer some tremendous advantages; from being able to view photos instantly, edit them, print them at home, share them easily on the internet, and so forth which make them worth the small effort to adjust to their unique characteristics.
