The fast lens has advantages in low-light situations and at telephoto. Then, thanks to the continuous intensity shorter shutter speeds or low light sensitivity are possible. This is a great improvement compare to previous FZ150.

At least eight years not know what in the fast-paced Internet age may be considered an eternity. That has never happened before! Panasonic FZ 200 is a megazoom camera with a continuous speed of 1:2.8 - both in wide angle at 25 mm and 24-fold increase at 600 mm (according to small picture).

An impressive 24X zoom

The FZ200 is the successor to the FZ150, as the affordable alternative remains in the range. The light intensity is the key innovation, is still the 24x zoom. The lens quality, Panasonic has in hand: almost no distortion, low edges (vignetting) and overall good value for the chromatic aberrations (chromatic aberration). Towards the margins can be the focus for about ten percent - this is something worse than FZ150, but still in the green. The optical Image Stabilizer allows safe hands-free design selection also at maximum telephoto.

While main rival Sony is now at 18 megapixels, the twelve megapixel Panasonic remains reliable, as in the FZ150. The sensor has been revised yet. This sensor should be more sensitive and enable faster signal processing. He also supports light sensitivity up to ISO 6400. Better photos delivers the image sensor is not. The bottom line  the FZ200 remains in image quality two scoring points off the FZ150.

There are two reasons. It weighs most heavily the maximum resolution at ISO 100. We only measure edge sharpness of 1,044 pairs of lines per picture height. Even less, only six cameras from the leader board deliver close to Panasonic FZ150 models (sorted by min. Resolution at ISO 100). By comparison, the FZ150 it brings to 1,222 pairs of lines. With increasing light sensitivity allows for the resolution, the distance between FZ200 and FZ150 but similar. At open aperture the FZ200  almost 200 line pairs more.

 Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 equpipped 3-inch display with a sharp display and swivel capability. There are 18 scene modes, aperture priority and aperture priority mode and a manual mode. The desired mode is selected via the handy dial. You can capture panoramic images using the FZ200 by pivoting away, but not in the huge size that offers by Sony HX200V. Burst activate with its own key. In full resolution photos are twelve possible in one second. With continuous focus adjustment halved that number and at reduced resolution to 2.5 megapixels, up to 60 frames per second.

Fast autofocus

The zoom is controlled with a lever on the top or a rocker on the lens.  The autofocus you can use in different modes: easy sharpening or continuously pursuing. Size and position of the measuring field are variable. In the test, the autofocus reacted very swiftly and so completely suitable for snapshots. There are two format storage in this camera, you can choose between JPEG and RAW.

Sharp viewfinder.

For image control you can rely on the screen or the viewfinder. The display has a high enough resolution for a clear display and can be pivoted in two directions. The viewfinder is also a high resolution, which represents a significant improvement over the Panasonic Lumix FZ150. However, the viewfinder opening remains quite small.

If you want to make a film or video, then you can rely on this camera. You shoot Full HD resolution at 50 frames per second. As storage formats are AVCHD and MP4 for selection. Stereo sound is coming from the internal microphone or a separate floating micro. To record, you have the choice between a fully automatic or manual in PASM modes. The zoom is nice and quiet during the recording.

The price of this camera is around 420 Euro. Panasonic FZ200 is perfect for the holidays, and a great choice to take pictures of sport events, photographing the animal’s activities in the jungle or safari parks, family events such as birthday parties, weddings, and when you hold a business trip, and so on.

Photo Printer

If you have a digital camera, you definitely have a lot collection of photos stored on memory cards and hard disks. Usually you just print the important ones to display at the office desk or in the walls of the house. Do you always print them in a mall? Actually you can buy a printer at the store or online store. Having your own home photo printer is a very pleasant thing. As well as saving costs can also save energy and time because you do not have to go to a place where photo printing away from home.

Lots of brand printers that offer a captivating photo prints on the market or at a computer store. Which again is more advantageous than able to print photos, we can also yield data to print office work and others at a printer. It is very practical indeed. Concerning the quality of photo printing to the layman may not be so striking in comparison with the results of a large print using a machine specifically for printing photos. But for people who are used to wrestle in it will see much difference in the resulting picture quality of existing printers in general. The most striking difference appears in three different kinds of things below:

- If we examined more closely would appear there is a faint small spots. This is because the ability of the printer to eject the ink onto the paper it is less dense. As for printing photos using special large machine will not be visible spots so that images will be more clearly seen as the original.

- The resistance of a home printer printout is not able to survive long, especially if the photographs displayed on walls and exposed to bias the sunshine will quickly fade. The results of photo lab prints will usually last up to tens of years or even longer.

- Usually a home printer will often have problems on the color cartridges are often leaky or clogged so that not infrequently it makes users become stressed.

If indeed we are forced to choose a home printer as well then there are a few tips on choosing the best home photo printer or at least better that I can give to you.
- Choose a photo printer that durable and easily repaired. In this case I recommend you use a printer like the Canon because in my opinion this type of printer to survive long enough, a lot of spare parts so if something is broken completely, then you do not need to replace with a new printer for which you need to buy only the defective parts .
- Select a printer to print images with 4 pieces cartridges. Each cartridge has a different color. Most commercially available are printers that have two cartridges. One black cartridge and the other have three spot color inks. This often leads to a single color ink spills into another color so that damage the color photos. Forced it makes us have to remove the cartridges and cartridge head with a tissue wipe. This will make the cartridges easily damaged.

- Use a printer with an additional infusion tube. This is important because then you do not need to remove the cartridges when the ink has run out and just simply pour it into a tube that is outside.

- You can buy a portable printer from Canon and specifically for printing photos. But you can consider printers manufactured by Kodak, Epson, HP, Sony or others. Even you can get all in one printer is equipped with Wi-Fi facilities.

Whatever photo printer you choose, make sure that you will use them often.

DSLR review

Many are asking what the advantages and disadvantages of a DSLR camera system. In general, all DSLR cameras is almost the same: have a large sensor is larger than a pocket camera / mobile phone, has the function of manual and automatic. What distinguishes usually is the design, features and a collection of lenses and accessories.

It's hard to say which system is best because each has advantages and disadvantages. In addition, each model is different and has its own advantages, disadvantages, too.
According to my observations during the last two-three years, I will review briefly some of the uniqueness of the popular DSLR camera system.

Canon: One of the camera system is the most popular DSLR cameras in the world. Canon lens has a complete collection of low-quality to high. Canon cameras are also complete for the beginner to very advanced for upscale professionals.

I love the camera-Canon brand camera novice compared to other brands such as Canon 1100D for beginners, 500D and 550D I think it is easy to use, the interface and menus are also very neat and well organized. Disadvantages of Canon cameras beginner material rather cheap and not so good when your handheld.

Image:blog.uad.ac.id

The last two years, more focus in the development of Canon DSLR camera that can record video clips. To date, almost all Canon DSLR cameras surpass its competitors in the affairs of the video recording.

Nikon: Same as Canon, Nikon system can be fairly complete.Many Nikon lenses are high quality and more expensive than the Canon. I liked especially the advanced Nikon camera (D300s, D700, D3) since the auto focus works very well, probably the best compared to other brands. Control of noise at high ISO is also a class above other brands, making it suitable to be used for photos in a dark room conditions.

Unlike the Canon, I did not really like Nikon beginner camera (D40, D60, D3000, D3100) because I think the inter-face is not good. For example the menu structure is less tidy and also the buttons are available to access less frequently used settings. In addition, beginners Nikon camera has no auto focus motor so that for some long lens, can not use auto focus (manual only).

Sony: Sony is a relative newcomer, but the Konica Minolta technology that uses technology in Sony's acquisition a few years ago. Sony is quite aggressive and a lot of new models every year, but the models are similar-similar camera. Sony also has a row of camera models from which to beginners up to the professionals, even for professionals who are not as sophisticated and as much as Canon & Nikon.

There is some uniqueness in Sony cameras than Canon and Nikon. For example his cameras have built-in feature that helps prevent the steady shot image blur due to hand shakes us (if Canon & Nikon feature is located on the lens). So many cameras Sony also has two auto focus sensor so that the auto focus when live view mode (such as a pocket camera) much faster than any other brand cameras. In addition, many models of Sony cameras that have LCD screens that can swivel so as to facilitate the composition of the photo above the head or under foot.

During its development, beginner camera Sony is not so changed in its features, most only slightly changed design. For the choice of sophisticated camera, Sony does not offer much, A700 and A900 had not been updated for a long time.

On the other hand, Sony aggressively in producing camera-like DSLR cameras like the Sony A55, A33, and Sony NEX-5, NEX-3.

Pentax: Pentax arguably a small player in the arena of digital SLR cameras, but the Pentax camera design is actually quite good.The focus of the Pentax factory in recent years is to be different (Be Different). Pentax DSLR cameras such as miles, kx small but sturdy with enough features to compete. The uniqueness of this camera is to use the universal AAA batteries, so if you run out of batteries, can simply buy in a store nearby. Pentax kx is also available in various colors like white and red.

Then Pentax also has a K7 and K5, which is a sophisticated SLR camera size is not so great, but bear in bad weather, including in very cold conditions. In the system, a collection of Pentax lenses are not as much as the big three (Canon, Nikon, Sony) but the Pentax has a lens - a lens prime / fixed a very small and of high quality such as the Pentax 70mm f/2.4, 31mm f/1.4 and so on.Like Sony, all Pentax camera models are also equipped with vibration dampers are built-in.

Olympus: Olympus DSLR system uniqueness lies in the size of the camera and lens are comparatively smaller and thinner. This is because the Olympus sensor using 4:3 (four thirds), which is smaller than a DSLR those presented above. As a result, the maximum image quality from 4:3 sensor is some what less, especially at high ISO. However, Olympus photo quality is much better than a pocket camera. Although small, except for the camera Olympus E-420 model, there are also features built-in vibration. Olympus E-620 is also very interesting for you to test.

Every digital camera has all the features and sophistication with its ability to produce quality images. But the man behind the gun very important role in addition to the sophistication of a camera. If you frequently use your camera, then you will be more familiar with the various buttons and features on your camera. Take advantage of your leisure time to bring your camera when going for a walk or on holiday alone or with family and friends.
