Fujifilm instax 7s Specifications - INSTAX Mini 7S - With it's exposure control adjustment this camera is a fun, easy point-and-shoot camera that will no doubt become a family favorite. With a high-quality Fujinon lens in combination with the INSTAX Mini Film, superior images are just an instant away. Fujinon Lens - f=60mm, Electronic Shutter 1/60 sec., Auto Flash in low light, auto adjust Manual exposure compensation, Weight: 11.29 oz., Image Size: 2.13" x 3.4", Uses Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Film -  lightweight and compact, the stylish instax mini 7 goes anywhere. Operation is easy -- simply check the LED exposure indicator and press the shutter, a beautiful credit card-size instant color photo is ready in minutes -- sharp and clear! Two model colors : pink and blue.




The front of the camera features a unique grip that is quite literally a bulbous area of the camera that reminds me a bit of an enlarged tumor. There is very little space in between the grip and the lens—which tells me that this camera was designed for users with smaller hands. Nearing the top of the grip is the shutter release button which needs to be pressed in as opposed to being pressed down as is the style of many traditional DSLR cameras.

Above the shutter release is the viewfinder, which takes time to adjust to. The reason for this is because the viewfinder does not show the user what will be shot through the lens. If you’re confused, think about the design of a DSLR vs a small instant film camera: a DSLR has a mirror and pentaprism. This camera just has a lens, a release and a film loading area. You’ll need to compensate a bit when shooting photos, but not by much.

Next to the viewfinder is the flash and lightmeter. The flash always fires no matter what. Below this is the lens. To turn the camera on, the user just needs to full the lens out. To turn it off, push the lens back in.The back of the camera has the film loading bay and the viewfinder eyepiece. Loading film is very simple: just line up the yellow lines and insert then close. You’ll need to fire a shot first in order to have the camera remove the cover through the top printer. Next to the loading pay is the shot counter.

The top of the camera has four different settings: indoor, cloudy, sunny, and really sunny. The user adjusts these according to where they are and the lighting around them. Next to these is the printer. The camera prints business card sized images.The right side of the camera is the battery compartment.Overall, the camera is very small and fits nicely into my M Classics camera Compact bag. Further, it will fit into one compartment with four packs of film.

There are two ways to get instant photos from your camera: using either an instant film camera or a digicam with a built-in printer. However, there is only one way to get good instant photos, and that is still film.

Without testing it, we’re not sure just how good the pictures are from Fujifilm’s new Instax Mini 7. One thing we do know is that, unless somebody has seriously messed something up (replacing the lens with an piece of beer-bottle, for example), the Mini 7 will embarrass the truly awful digital Pogo from previous instant title-holder Polaroid.

The Mini 7 will remain a novelty, though, as the ISO 800, 1.8 x 2.4-inch film costs $20 for a 10-pack. When shooting, you can pick from four exposure settings (the shutter speed remains at 1/60 sec). Focus is fixed, but when things get really dark there’s a built-in flash. The camera costs $90 and is cute enough to be given as a gift. And if experience is anything to go by, it is a gift that will be used precisely ten times, until the first roll of film runs out and it is consigned, with all the other film cameras, to the junk-drawer.

COOLPIX S9100 Specifications - he COOLPIX S9100 is loaded with innovative Nikon technology, like a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and ISO speeds up to 3200 that assure superb image quality in low-light conditions. Optimized with Nikon's exclusive EXPEED C2 processing engine, you'll capture natural looking pictures with exceptional detail. You'll love composing and viewing images and HD videos on the dazzling 921,000-dot, ultra-high resolution Clear Color Display, and at just 1.4 inches thin and 7.6 ounces, you can take the COOLPIX S9100 on every adventure.

The COOLPIX S9100 is loaded with innovative Nikon technology, like a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and ISO speeds up to 3200 that assure superb image quality in low-light conditions. Optimized with Nikon's exclusive EXPEED C2 processing engine, you'll capture natural looking pictures with exceptional detail. You'll love composing and viewing images and HD videos on the dazzling 921,000-dot, ultra-high resolution Clear Color Display, and at just 1.4 inches thin and 7.6 ounces, you can take the COOLPIX S9100 on every adventure.


Producing precision camera optics is at the heart of Nikon's proud photographic heritage. The COOLPIX S9100 is no exception. Its high quality 18x wide-angle optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens offers impressive telephoto coverage (25–450mm) and razor sharp results. It's the only lens you'll ever need for exacting portraits, scenic panoramas and challenging compositions. And since shooting from a gondola in the Swiss Alps or a whale-watching boat in Iceland can get bumpy, we've included our five-way, Hybrid VR Image Stabilization system—say goodbye to unwanted streaky or blurred images.

The world is brimming with creative shooting opportunities, and the COOLPIX S9100 has the advanced features to match. Choose one of 19 Scene Modes or let Scene Auto Selector choose the ideal mode for your situation. Nikon's amazing Easy Panorama mode lets you pan the camera in any direction as it automatically detects, combines and assembles your shots into one seamless panoramic image. And say goodbye to post-shot processing—the COOLPIX S9100 is loaded with in-camera special effects like Nostalgic Sepia, Selective Color, High and Low Key and many more.

Sharing your travel adventures is even more exciting with Full HD (1080p) movies. With one touch of the COOLPIX S9100's movie recording button, you'll be shooting 1080p HD movies with stereo sound. Optical zoom and autofocus functions will bring you close to the action. You can even shoot still images while recording movies or experiment with special effects like fast or slow motion. And the in-camera playback feature and convenient HDMI-CEC output for quick hookup to an HDTV or computer make sharing your movies a breeze.


Photos and video are framed and reviewed on the S9100 via a 3-inch 4:3 aspect ratio LCD. We also get Full HD 1080p movie clips at 30fps with stereo sound, with an instant record button located at the top right hand corner of the back plate. Its implementation is similar to the one found on the less expensive Coolpix S3100 snapshot, in that it features a raised surround to avoid accidental nudges.
Whilst that much is standard, less so is a screen resolution that again betters what one might expect at 921k dots, so visibility is clear with it. We were shooting under bright spring sunshine for most of our test period and weren't compelled to cup a hand around the screen to view it. Videographers will be further interested to note the S9100's facility for slow motion video clips; the walking through treacle look on playback being achieved via a fast capture speed of 240fps. This requires a resolution drop to 320x240 pixels however. The alternative is a slightly better 640x480 pixels at 120fps.
For hooking the S9100 directly up to a flat panel TV HDMI connectivity is provided under a side flap, while, rather than being located alongside, a separate flap for AV output and USB 2.0 connectivity has been shunted onto the base where it nestles next to the compartment for the lithium ion rechargeable battery.
Build wise the camera feels up to Nikon's usual high construction standards when gripped in the palm, at once solid yet manageably lightweight with it and feeling like it will withstand the odd knock (as long as it's not directly to the lens). There's a high proportion of metal on show and thin rubber coating to the front surface and sides help prevent slippage. There is a slender 'grip' of sorts provided. via a raised metal ridge at the front into which we managed to dig our middle fingers, complemented by a pad of 16 plastic nodules at the back. This provides limited help to prevent the thumb from sliding about.
Given the camera's portable size that longer than average lens reach is supported by sensor shift anti shake, electronic vibration reduction plus motion detection technology to avoid blur from hand wobble at longer focal lengths; a combination that in practice largely appears to work.
The front of the camera is unsurprisingly dominated by that Vibration Reduction assisted lens, with a small AF assist/self timer lamp located top left, and the aforementioned sliver of a grip being otherwise the only feature to adorn the faceplate.
Looking down on the top of the camera one of the most noticeable features is left and right stereo microphones flanking a speaker in their midst. An integral flash is sunk into the top plate to their left and manually activated by a switch at the side rather than automatically popping up (an on-screen message prompts you to raise the flash if you haven't already done so). Over at the right hand edge of the top plate we find an on/off button recessed to avoid accidental activation, shutter release button encircled by zoom lever, plus a tiny 8-option shooting mode dial that's smaller than a dime or halfpenny.
The front lip for the zoom lever is slightly ridged to provide purchase for the fingertip and, upon switching the camera on, the ring encircling the power switch briefly glows green for no other apparent reason than it lets you know the camera's working and it looks cool.
The Coolpix S9100 is relatively swift in its response times, powering up in just over a second, LCD screen fading up from black and lens extending from flush to the body to its maximum wide angle setting in readying itself for the first shot. A few minutes of inquisitive button poking and shutter firing and there's no disguising the fact that, for all its outward sophistication this is actually a fairly usable point and shoot, unburdened by much in the way of manual control. The mode dial doesn't feature any program, aperture priority, shutter priority or manual modes for example; it's preset auto modes all the way.
As on the newly launched D5100 digital SLR, the S9100 features a shooting mode option given over to 'special effects': digital filters in other words, although here they feel less special and more modest compared to the wackier settings found on competing models such as the Olympus SZ-20 with its 'punk' option alongside the regular toy camera and miniature modes. On the Nikon we are offered a 'soft' effect, nostalgic sepia (not only rusty coloured but softened too), high contrast monochrome (one of the most distinctive options), high key, low key and selective colour options. While these are applied at the point of capture, drill down into the playback mode and soft, selective colour, plus fisheye and miniature effect filters can also be applied post capture.
Crammed around the same shooting mode dial we additionally get a regular auto mode, a scene auto selector mode which is an intelligent auto option by another name, a manually selectable range of scene modes (15 in total, including 'Easy Panorama' and the usual aids to portraiture and landscapes), plus dedicated night landscape and night portrait modes, continuing around the dial, along with a flash deploying back lighting mode (for shooting against the sun), and finally a continuous shooting mode, with up to a Casio Exilim-alike 120fps achievable if opting for the 'Continuous H' option. We also get best-shot selection and a pre-shooting option to round out the package.
As with automatic panorama similar modes on Sony Cyber-shot and Casio Exilim models, the 'Easy' option here automatically composites together a single elongated panoramic image as the user pans across the scene. The gimmick here though is that both horizontal and vertical panoramas can be created, with the further option of either shooting a 'normal' 180° panorama or usefully the full 360°. Operation is completely silent, so just as good for taking images in hushed environments as anywhere else.

Launch Lomo 35mm Film Camera -  Lomo film camera lets you capture the scenic backgrounds as distinctly as the intense foreground. Capture the little white rat running over to the cheese and the bird flying spiritedly before it moves away as this Lomo 35 mm camera has a shutter speed of 1/500 - 120 sec. You can manually adjust the focus of this Lomo film camera to highlight certain aspects of your subject. This Lomo 35 mm camera has multiple exposure switch. Minimum aperture of the Lomo LC-A camera is f/2.8 and the maximum aperture is f/16.




Named Super 35 LomoKino Movie Maker, this tool is capable of recording video with a roll of 35mm film. The result? still carries the characteristics of the image produced by the Holga and Diana, LomoKino able to produce an analog-style video with the old school colors.And that makes it look more classic is that the video is 'dumb' or without sound. Yes, this antique tools are not equipped with a hotshoe that is used for mounting the microphone, but that is the unique characteristics of LomoKino.




LomoKino equipped with 25 mm fixed lens aperture of f/5.6 to f/11. For the frame rate, LomoKino able to record 144 images in 60 seconds.To enjoy the short film LomoKino recording, users can use the bundled LomoKinoScope the price of USD 100 is LomoKino without bundlingan marketed at a price of $ 80 or RP 700 thousand.
Lomography has unveiled the LomoKino 35mm film camera, a modern take on one of the first film-capturing technologies invented, all wrapped in a retro-style form factor.
Taking pretty much any 35mm film available the LomoKino comes with some handy features, with a volume indicator you can easily see how much you've got left and when the film runs out, a convenient red flag pops up on the top of the camera.

To get started all you have to do is insert the film and then start turning the advancing crank and you're off, almost makes you wonder how tech got so complicated.
Despite being based on such age-old technology the LomoKino also features a focusing function for objects less than one meter, just press the close-up button and it'll focus in on the subject.
Finally to view all your wonderful retro-creations you'll need a viewer, and Lomogrophy just so happen to have one as well, made in partnership with the LomoKino.

Make all the hipster jokes you like. Fashionable film photography could be all that lies between us and the demise of film. With camera manufacturing and film stock going out of production, enthusiasts – both the inventors/merchandisers and users – are having to rebuild the film revolution from scratch. And while this site’s name has “digital” in the title, make no mistake: creative work with light and motion is dependent on maintaining traditional techniques for the full spectrum of choice.

That’s why it’s good news that today, Lomography has a motion camera. True to Lomo’s experimental roots in art student visual play, it’s not really a movie camera in the traditional sense. It’s a throwback to the beginnings of motion film, in many ways, down to the hand crank and jerky, slow-framerate capture. You could use it to do individual frames, timelapse style, or crank up to about 3-5 frames per second.
For visualists, it looks like brilliant, experimental fun, and I’m already thinking of ways to combine this “analog” workflow with digital tools that embody the same spirit. And Lomo seems to be going to digital hybrids, too, encouraging uploads to Vimeo. That’s good news – I can’t say I’ve absolutely loved Lomography’s own web photo sharing site, which can be clunky; seeing them embrace Vimeo seems very good, indeed. The design, which I hope to check out later today if I can grab one in Berlin, has some interesting features:

          solid – camera doesn’t feel cheap or ‘plasticy’ and has some heft to it

  • well built – unlike my Holga’s, it doesn’t feel like it’s going to break simply by advancing the film
  • small – fits easily in my hand and can be tucked away in your jean or cargo short pockets if you needed to
  • awesome wide angle glass lens – 17mm on a ‘full frame’ 35mm film camera is fabulous…that is all.
  • great focal distance – you can easily switch between 0.4-0.9m or 0.9m to infinity focus distance which means you can get really close to your subjects with that wide angle lens
  • Fixed focus 1m+; 0.6-1m macro mode
  • Continuous aperture – a departure for the “sunny / cloudy” mode on Lomos. f/5.6 – f/11. (Amusingly, they still recommend switching between the extreme settings based on whether it’s sunny or cloudy.)
  • A roughly 1/100 shutter, for cranking up to 3-5 fps. (This is where digital gets interesting to me – think about processing between frames.)
  • Hot shoe and flash. Obviously, you want a flash that recharges quickly, but the flash could be the coolest feature here.
  • Easy 35mm processing. Lomo suggests scanning with a flatbed. Time to hit eBay for a flatbed. Here, too, I could see some interesting DIY solutions and hacks.

Pick the perfect lens
Why compromise your artistic vision? Select from a choice of compact, beautifully styled E-mount lenses - from ultra-slim wide angle to powerful telephoto zoom. Or add an optional mount adaptor and enjoy the limitless possibilities of your A-mount lens collection.
Beautifully easy to use
Don`t be intimidated by complicated buttons and menus. The camera is simplicity itself to operate, with an intuitive on-screen interface, control dial and soft keys. It`s brilliantly easy to make one-handed adjustments of camera settings.


The good: Excellent high-ISO-sensitivity photo quality; quiet, fast lenses good for shooting video and comfortable for manual focus; compact, with a nice physical design and control layout; large, tilting LCD.
The bad: No EVF option; frequently annoying user interface; unusual amount of distortion on 18-55mm kit lens; no neutral image color settings.
The bottom line: For a lot of people, the excellent high-sensitivity photo quality, competitive performance, and an ultracompact body will likely outweigh the Sony Alpha NEX-5's quirks and operational annoyances.

Eagerly anticipated ever since Sony floated its wood-block concept designs at the PMA show in February 2010, Sony's debut interchangeable-lens models, the Alpha NEX-5 and NEX-3 are the smallest entrants to date, with a lot to appeal to both enthusiasts and snapshooters--and a bit that annoys, as well.

The cameras are nearly identical, differing only in two ways. They have slightly different body designs, with the higher-end NEX-5 composed of magnesium alloy compared to the NEX-3's polycarbonate body, and the NEX-5 offers full HD AVCHD video recording. For those perks you pay about $100 more. Both cameras come in kits with either an 18-55mm ($299.99 standalone) or 16mm pancake prime lens ($249.99 standalone).
