Nikon Coolpix S8000 Review
20
May
infoSync World tests the Nikon Coolpix S8000. For the full review, go to www.infosyncworld.com After having just tested the Nikon Coolpix L110, the 14-megapixel Nikon Coolpix S8000 was a cool breeze of relief. Both cameras shared a lot in common in terms of controls and shooting features, but the Coolpix S8000 offered a stellar color station that allowed us to add significant life to our pictures that many other cameras couldn’t match. We also got a 10x optical zoom wide-angle lens, rear control ring, and sleek, sexy architecture. Although image and video quality was on par with the Coolpix L110, it was the S8000’s color options that really made it our favorite compact to shoot with during our batch testing with the Nikon Coolpix L110, Fujifilm Finepix F80EXR, and Fujifilm Finepix Z700EXR.
froknowsphoto.com I wanted to show you how easy it is to do a full photo shoot with multiple angles and one lens in 10 minutes. As you can see I am shooting with the Nikon D3000 and 35 F/1.8. I was able to capture 4 or 5 different angles from full length to head shots to detailed shots. I guessed my settings based off of pre visualizing my environment. I knew there was not a lot of light inside which told me I should shoot at a higher ISO like 800. I know in the D3000 that if I go higher than 800 ISO i may be compromising the quality of the image. I chose 60th of a second at 1.8 as a starting point than tweaked from there. You have to be very careful when shooting wide open at 1.8 that you do not miss your focus. As you can see in the picture with the pencil you have such a narrow focus that if you move forward or back or your subject moves you may miss your focus all together. Start to get into the habit of pre visualizing your situation so when you walk into it you have a basis for your initial settings. Over time you will start to be able to read the light before you take the camera out of the bag. Be sure to watch the entire video as you will see the photo shoot first followed by a screen flow where I discuss composition of each image as well as how I edited the RAW file.

May
Nikon USA has announced that its Coolpix S4100 and S6100 models will continue to be available to American customers. This follows a statement from Nikon Japan that the recently-introduced S4100 was being withdrawn as a result of component shortages following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The withdrawal only affects certain markets, says Nikon USA, and confirmed both models will continue to be available in ‘The Americas.’ We have not yet heard about European availability.

Nikon 70-300 4.5-5.6 vs Sigma 70-200 2.8 Which to buy Part 1

When it comes to purchasing a lens what is the most important thing to look at, the f stop. The large the f stop the more light you are going to let in. The more light you let in the better your image quality tends to be. In Part 1 I am helping Gizzy decide between the Nikon 70-300 f4.5-56 and the Sigma 70-200 2.8 II apo dc so on so forth. Watch part one to see which way I am steering him. FroKnowsPhoto.com Launching June 1
