Casio Exilim EX-H10


First Impressions

One of the most successful product ranges in the point and shoot category has to be the Casio Exilim.  We've done a few reviews in the past few years but it's been a while since the last one, which we still use on occasion.
But when they announced the EX -- H10 some months ago we knew we had to get one in on our desk.  It seems perfect on all fronts: 12.1 megapixels, 10 x zoom, wide-angle and a long battery life.  And that's just for starters, so let's hop to it and give it a decent shake (no worries there: it also has an anti-shake feature!)

Canon EOS 450D

Some of our regular readers may know that I have made occasional references to my interest in photography.  After a few years of letting work take over my life and getting by with nothing but my mobile phone camera, I finally decided on an entry-level DSLR to ease my way back into the hobby.  For my birthday this year I was given a Canon EOS 450D with a twin lens kit.

It has been 5 years since Canon first released the first "affordable" digital SLR in the form of the EOS 300D (Digital Rebel), the EOS 450D also known as the Rebel XSi (US) and Kiss X2 Digital (Japan), is the fourth generation Canon DSLR at the lower end of the EOS range.  I am going to refer to it as the EOS 450D, the name by which it is marketed in Australia.

This is not intended to be a complete technical review of the Canon EOS 450D.  There are plenty of professional photographers out there who can provide far more technical details and comparisons.  This is intended as an overview of my impressions as an owner and user of an EOS 450D.

Brando Mini Video Recorder
Digital cameras are everywhere. In any public space there is a good chance that someone next to you has a camera phone hidden away in their pocket, ready to record at a moment’s notice. Brando’s Mini Video Recorder is a bit different. While it too sits casually in a pocket, it is designed to record without anybody else knowing it is doing so.

EliteVideo
One of my cameras is the Olympus E-510, in some countries also known as the EVOLT E-510. 

It's a very capable DSLR with some unique features. 

We have written about one of its predecessors, the E-300 more than two years ago and I've always been enamoured by the LiveView feature which was quite revolutionary in those days.  Normally I am quite happy to read the manual but this time around I also watched a couple of training DVDs from EliteVideo.com.

Was it worth the $50 that they cost?
