Rechargeable Batteries - Best Digital Camera Batteries

!: Rechargeable Batteries - Best Digital Camera Batteries

I'm not going to insult you by teaching you how to put a battery into a camera. That's something pretty much anyone can do without help. As long as you follow the diagram and put the batteries like it shows there, you'll be OK. What I am going to teach you here is how to boost the battery life, since taking photos can be taxing even on the best digital camera batteries.

Use rechargeable batteries to save money

When a camera takes AA batteries, there is a good chance it will accept rechargeable batteries as well. You will have to pay more for batteries that are rechargeable, but in time you will save money. If you use regular AA batteries, in a month you can easily go through a megapack of them.

Here are some facts about batteries that are rechargeable:

There are two main types of rechargeable batteries: NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) and NiCad (nickel cadmium). If you want the best possible performance from your batteries, you should go with the NiMH. Still, if you already have NiCad lying around in the house, you can use those as well.

If you want to use it while you're away doing business or in a vacation, you might want to consider a charger for small format batteries . The price of such a charger is around and it comes with a four battery pack to get you started.

Depending on the charger, some batteries will be charged quicker than others. The package of the charger should indicate how fast it works. But, if you want a battery to recharge faster, you will probably pay more for it.

You should buy a second set of rechargeable batteries. Even if one of them is in the charger, the other one can be used.

Even though a rechargeable battery is fully charged, if you leave it for a few weeks it will lose some of its power. In time they will discharge completely.

Even if you plan everything well, eventually you will be in a situation where your battery is dead.

Battery power preservation

The current technology makes sure that cameras deplete batteries slower than before. Still, a digital camera will consume more power than a film camera, because they have a lot of extra features.

All digital cameras show a battery icon on their screen, which tells you that everything is OK when it's full and that you will run out of battery juice when they're almost empty.

Combining impressive hardware technology with versatile software applications, the Minolta Dimâge Scan Multi II film scanner is indispensable for both imaging professionals and avid amateurs. Its software driver offers nearly 600 automatic settings in nine categories with additional customization easily possible. Working with a variety of Macintosh operating systems, it functions equally well on Windows 98, 98, and NT 4.0, connecting through a simple USB port.

Standard usage permits up to six sleeved or four mounted slides. Optional accessories include the AD-100 adapter and the SC-100 slide feeder, both of which improve productivity by allowing you to scan up to 50 images in one batch. An additional timesaver is Multi Sample Scanning, which quickly reduces the random noise present with scanned images. Using RGB sensors that scan images line by line, the finished images have a maximum resolution up to 2,820 dpi, ensuring finely grained results in print sizes up to 8 by 10 inches. Taking the extra time to use features like Digital ROC (Reconstruction of Color) and GEM (Grain Equalization Management) virtually guarantees perfect clarity in all your photos.

With all these advanced functions, the scanner remains relatively easy to use with a simple window- and tab-based interface that allows you to control everything from color balance to histogram compensation. --Jill Lightner

The Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Autofocus Lens is a compact, light-weight, ultra-tele zoom which covers the 70mm to 300mm telephoto range and produces photographs of exceptional image quality. It is ideal for taking pictures at a distance particularly when the subject is difficult to approach such as in nature and wildlife photography as well as at sporting and theatrical events. The Tamron 70-300mm also excels at portraiture and allows you to isolate the subject from the background for eye-catching, dramatic portraits. This versatile zoom has superb macro capability with a magnification of 1:2 enabling 1/2 life-size close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally would require the use of a specially designed macro lens. This new lens is made with the Tamron Di (Digitally Integrated) design which uses an optical system with improved multi-coatings designed to function with Digital SLR Cameras as well as Film SLR Cameras. Tamron also incorporates LD (Low Dispersion) glass in this lens to correct chromatic aberration, resulting in clear, sharp, and beautifully vivid images.

Hello photo lovers, here is a video i took of my local 60 minute Photo shop guy telling me instructions on how to load a Minolta X-700. You can apply this to most manual 35mm cameras. Both Manual film cameras AND 60 minute photo shops are becoming more rare every year; so i made this for the people that might not know how to do this. Enjoy! Only from the Mind of MINOLTA!

Sharper Photos Using a Table Top Tripod As a "Chest Pod"

!: Sharper Photos Using a Table Top Tripod As a "Chest Pod"

Most photographers today, both amateur and professional, have a Table Top Tripod in their gadget bag for use when photographing small objects on a "table top," or for bracing on top of a car, wall, or fence when a full size tripod isn't available or practical.

There are times, however, when you want the support and vibration stopping of a tripod, but the subject is moving around way too quickly - you just can't get reoriented fast enough to get the shot: just think about shooting photos of an active child on a playground. But you really do want the steadiness that a tripod affords for sharper photos that can be blown up big and still be eye-catchingly sharp.

Enter the classic table top tripod.

By twisting it around into a novel configuration with the tripod against your chest and the camera to your eye, you can brace the camera to get much of the stabilizing power of a tripod on the floor - but the flexibility to move around quickly with fast moving subjects. It also can be braced on a wall, fence, the side of a house - anything that gives you the stability you need for the sharpest photos.

I have two. First, a classic Leitz Table Top Tripod with Large Ball and Socket Head. I think this is no longer made (mine is over 40 years old - Leica makes good stuff!). It has one disadvantage. You cannot set the ball head for limited or smooth drag. It is either loose or locked. And though it folds flat, it doesn't fold compact (unless you separate the two parts - which makes it more difficult to set up quickly).

I used this setup several times photographing Indy Type race cars going by at over 200 miles per hour! I was standing about 50 - 60 feet from the track and just panned my whole body, with the chest pod supporting the camera, and released the shutter while I was moving through the pan. Great action shots - and sharp! (Bonus tip - with this technique, you can slow the shutter speed down to 1/60 or 1/125 or so, and when you pan with the car going by, releasing the shutter during the pan, you get a picture that just SHOUTS SPEED!)

And, of course, slowing down a bit, you can use it on hikes to increase the stability and sharpness of your photos while lightening the load you carry. And it sets up more quickly than a full size tripod.

My other, newer model is the Slik Mini-Pro. These folks make many, many tripods in all sizes, weights, materials - you can select just the right one for your needs. The tripod folds up very small, and comes with a typical (though small) pan head. The small pan head is great for basic table tops, but it is somewhat awkward for chest pod use.

Far easier and more effective, I recommend a Kaiser Lightweight Ball & Socket Head to replace the pan head that comes with the tripod (don't throw the pan head away, you will always find times when you still want to use it). When you are actually using the ball & socket head, you may not want to totally lock up the ball head, just use a slight drag. This gives you much more flexibility to move with the subject, while giving you the extra support for extra sharp photos.

Since the Leitz model is no longer available (unless you find one used), the Slik/Kaiser combination will make a valuable addition to your gadget bag, giving you freedom for photographing fast moving subjects while keeping the camera stable enough to encourage large prints you'll be proud to display. This is especially true if your camera has image stabilization.

By all means try this valuable technique. It will really help you get more great photos to make really big prints.

Minolta SRT Film SLRs - Still Clicking After All These Years

!: Minolta SRT Film SLRs - Still Clicking After All These Years

For a small, but determined group, the Minolta SRT series cameras are still a viable path to SLR photography. Even though the cameras themselves have been out of production for over twenty years and Minolta exited the camera business in 2006, Minolta SRTs are still a hot commodity on ebay, pawnshops and at used camera dealers.

Minolta no longer makes cameras and digital SLRs are now king of the camera hill. Despite these factors, the SRT camera line is still producing great images. The SRT101 started the series when it was introduced in 1966. Over the next 15 years, Minolta produced the SRT100, SRT102, SRT200, 201 and 202. The SRT series also appeared with other names outside the US. In addition, Minolta produced the SRT-MC to be sold primarily by K-mart. A similar model, the SRT-SC was sold by JC Penny.

With the huge distribution and rugged metal construction, you can understand why so many SRTs survive today. Yet it would seem they are hopelessly outdated compared with the array of fine digital cameras available. Why would any one want one of these old warhorses instead of a dSLR?

Make no mistake, digital SLRs offer a number of advantages that no film SLR can match. Digital SLR's allow you to preview your shots, you can transfer images to your computer for editing and you can use the same memory card over and over. In addition to not offering digital features, the SRT lacks autofocus, dedicated flash, program exposure and auto film advance -- that is a pretty extensive list of features modern photographers have come to expect in a SLR.

Yet it is those missing features that make the cameras attractive to so many current users. With no electronics, the SRT returns the photographer to an era when one's own knowledge was paramount to getting successful images. A pure manual camera, the SRT forces the users to learn photography from the ground level. Many users are using a SRT as s stepping stone to learning photography before splurging a full featured digital SLR.

Another attractive aspect is cost. Although there are a number of enthusiastic Minolta collectors, so many SRTs were produced and so many were well preserved by their owners, that good, used SRTs are still plentiful. While first class SRTs may eventually become highly collectible, for now you can easily obtain a good, useable model with lens for less than a hundred dollars. A little searching may turn up models for far muxh less.

Even better, there are literately tons of lenses available for these cameras. Minolta, of course, produced the lion's share of these lenses, under the Rokker X and Celtic brand names. Vivitar, Tamron, Soligor and many others also produced excellent lenses to fit the SRT series. Unlike the autofocus A-Mount Minolta lenses that can be used on both Sony and Minolta dSLRs, the X-mount lenses won't fit any dSLR without an adapter. This means you can find some excellent X-Mount lens bargains. As more and more users switch to digital, their old Rokkor-X lenses end up on the auction block. The SRT shooter can find some truly rare and excellent lenses at a price that won't strain the budget.

Of course there are a few caveats. If you should happen on a SRT model, you have to remember it is at least twenty years old and the original SRT models have been around for more than forty years. Bad things can happen to a camera after all that time, particularly if it has been sitting unused in a closet somewhere.

Although the SRTs have a reputation for great reliability, always check the camera carefully before buying. After time, the shutter speeds have been known become inaccurate, requiring repair to maintain good exposures, The seals around the camera's back may start disintegrating, allowing light into the camera. New seals are available and it is a fairly simple fix.

Undoubtedly the biggest concern is the lack of a battery for the camera's internal meter. The meter on the SRT series is highly accurate, but it was designed to use a 1.35v PX-625 mercury cell. Environmental concerns ended the production of these mercury cells, and the available silver oxide cells are not the correct voltage. This is really a paper tiger. Use of a silver oxide battery does not seem to affect the meter reading that greatly. If you were using 1960s era film, which had very narrow latitude, the voltage difference might be critical. With today's wide latitude films, I have used the readily available MS76 1.5v silver oxide cell with excellent results. In addition, the camera will work fine without a battery, so you could use a hand held light meter.

If you want to really learn basic photography, there is no better way to start than a good, manual SLR. And there are few manual SLRs that offer reliability and accessory options at as low a price as a Minolta SRT.

Minolta Digital Camera Problems

Minolta digital camera problems vary with distinct models. Some models have poor ability images. The Konica Minolta DiMage X50 is one of the contract digital cameras that have had problems with photograph quality. The noise level of this single camera is also a problem. The S414 has its share of problems from short battery life to the plastic housing. The idea for a durable camera is not found with this single model. The other qoute is the memory card. A larger memory card would prevent dropping of pictures. You will have to use rechargeable batteries with this digital camera.

Some other Minolta digital camera problems are pictures not clear in low light settings as well as problems removing the memory card because of the location. All cameras have some problems, but you need to keep in mind that if the user is not accustomed to using the camera and the settings, this could succeed in issues that are more about user error than the camera itself. The biggest qoute with some of the Minolta digital cameras is the housing. The plastic housing is not durable enough for every day use and dropping it would well be the end of the camera.

Minolta Digital Slr

The Minolta digital camera problems are not just present in a one model. It does seem that each model has some type of qoute related with it. The qoute that has the most complaints about is the ability of the pictures taken in low light. This however, can be said about many distinct cameras from distinct manufacturers as well. The comparison should not comprise pictures taken in low light. Any camera could have this same qoute unless you get into the more costly digital cameras. The more costly digital cameras have more setting and features as well as flash capabilities to take ability pictures in low lighting.
