...Most Packed Digital Camera Speaking of digital cameras, the Nikon CoolPix S7c is really my favorite compact model of the season. It is as reliable as the Canons, and for $350, carries more bells than Santa's sleigh. Its selling feature is Wi-Fi for online photo management, but some even cooler features are deeply buried: the time-lapse shooting feature lets you take pictures say, every five seconds, or every hour. Each shot is added as a frame to a little movie, so you can duplicate, at home, those memorable videos depicting flowers opening, or a building job getting...
...have always been partial to Nikon's DSLRs. This summer, when I studied the market, the Nikons shot better than Olympus' E-Volt line, and were priced comfortably below the equally good Canon Digital Rebel. Nikon's big news this year was the D80, a bit too high-end for beginners. But now the company is addressing beginners directly with the introduction of the $600 D40. The question on the minds of holiday shoppers: how does the new D40 compare to Nikon's current great deal...
...Both are 6-megapixel cameras that shoot a speedy two and a half frames per second, and use only SD memory cards. Both come with lenses (for $100 more, the D50 also comes with an 18-55mm starter zoom lens). Both are compatible with many of Nikon's pricier pro lenses as well. The D50 has two LCD screens. One is a two-inch, 130,000-pixel, color display for reviewing shots and viewing menu options. The other is a little always-on monochrome display that shares quick facts, like your flash setting or the number of shots remaining...
...Natural History instead. The reward for the journey? A new awareness of natural phonomena one might never notice if these images weren’t so exquisitely captured, mounted, and brought together. After seeing Alex MacLean’s aerial shots, I was motivated to whip out my Nikon on my flight home for Thanksgiving break. Particularly striking were two adjacent photos taken in 2005, one titled “Hillside Preserve” and the other “Settlement.” The latter depicts the beginning of a process of development, with just a rectangle of construction...
...Nikon goes the Swiss Army-- knife route with this fully loaded, 7-megapixel number. It has built-in wi-fi that comes with a free yearlong subscription to T-Mobile's wireless service that's suitable for uploading snapshots over lattes at Starbucks. It also takes time-lapse photos that can be combined into a movie. And it has an easy-to-use stop-motion tool for making Wallace & Gromit--style Claymation. PRICE...
