My friend sends me an article with the title “Study: Cheap Cameras Break More than Expensive Ones, and Panasonic Breaks Least”. Thinking back on my experience on photography equipment that I bought, I agree with the title. The article should read “Cheap Compact Cameras breaks more…” as the study only refers to compact cameras and not on DSLR because they didn’t have enough data for comparison of DSLR camera warranty claim.

I’ve decided to switch over to Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ7 compact camera instead of getting a brand new Canon compact camera. Panasonic Lumix range has some very good features lately and I noticed Canon has not been in keeping with some of the advances for point-and-shoot cameras. Canon is probably concentrating more on their EOS DSLR camera as they are pushing the Canon EOS 7D DSLR a lot lately. I may have a Canon EOS DSLR 30D however it can’t be denied that a compact camera is very convenient to carry around. After all you won’t always be trying to capture some artistic shot all the time, perhaps a simple family gathering and you didn’t want to carry a large bulky photography equipment along, so carrying a point-and-shoot compact camera makes sense here. Continue reading Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ7 At first it happened to my brother-in-law’s Canon EOS 40D DSLR camera, and then now it was my Canon EOS 30D DSLR shutter button that was not working. The Canon shutter button problem is rather irritating when it happens. You will still be able to get a focus lock, but upon further depressing the shutter button, the shutter would not release! “What gives?” and you will be wondering what happened to your Canon DSLR camera. Continue reading Canon Shutter Button Problem If you find the photography basics picture style format is less than what you want, you could do more than just tweak the basic photography style settings by uploading additional Canon Picture Styles. For more choice of Canon Picture Styles you can download additional extended picture styles from Canon website for use with your Canon EOS DSLR camera. And in addition if you want to customize in detail or create your own original picture style you could do so too. But for now I’ll just stick to the ones available provided by Canon. Continue reading Canon Picture Style – Extended Functions Most of the modern photography equipment provides a simple way for how a basic photography will be processed. In the Canon DSLR they call it picture style setting which provide a certain amount of control over how the photo is processed. While most compacts will provide three simple settings called Neutral, Standard and Vivid, the Canon DSLR provide a much wider fine tuning. The photography basics mode that comes pre-set with the camera body are: Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful, Monochrome. An additional 3 user define settings where you can download additional picture style into your camera for additional choices of photographic expression. Continue reading Canon Picture Style Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 released by Panasonic consumer electronics was introduced as its second Micro Four Thirds digital camera. The new 12.1 megapixel camera features a compact body that is smaller than the standard DSLR digital cameras. The Panasonic GH1 comes with a few new improvements including a new Venus Engine HD inage sensor, which delivers better noise reduction performance and faster image processing speeds.

I’m sure many would experience a lot of difficulties especially going for wedding night photos assignment for the first time. The wedding photography tips is based on my own experience and may not be the best way to go around doing it. After all each wedding photographer would find out by themselves what would be the best way to go about doing proper wedding reception photography. Most of us are not super rich; we don’t have so much money to splurge on the best photography equipment! So we have to start with cheaper equipment and work our way up to better photography equipment later.

Sometimes you want to enhance the picture and thus you have to tell your subject to position in a way to get a better portrait shot. Continue reading Posing for portrait photography Photography basically is not just about snapping a picture, scenery or a person and just left it at that. To make it more attractive, you want to convey something distinctive like a shape, form, texture or pattern in the photo.
