| Panasonic DMC-FX35K Lumix 10 Megapixel Compact Digital Camera with 25mm Wide-Angle Lens |
|
| |
Our Review - If you are looking for a small camera that you can take anywhere you want and have the best quality, surprisingly The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35K Digital Camera is the one! What is the number one thing you should consider when buying a camera? OPTICS! Lenses are everything! For professional-end cameras there are cameras that cost anywhere from $600 - $5,000. But lenses go as high as $20,000!! The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 Digital Camera has a Leica lens (The German Leica manufacturer has been around in the industry for close to a century!) This camera has enough megapixels to print 16 x 20 prints. Also this is one of the only cameras available on the market that is a wide angle (can capture a lot wider view or larger groups without having to walk back). This has every mode you can possibly want! It also does video! If you for any reason doubt my pick, I dare you to check any site about the quality of this product! |

Our Review - Ok so you spend $200+ on a camera, but what about the bag that you will carry it in? You should always avoid hard cases (if the bag falls or you sit on it, it breaks the screen on the camera right away). Also this bag fits this camera snug and very well. As well it is water resistant. There are only two brands photographers trust and this is one of them!! |

| Nikon D40 SLR Digital Camera Kit w/ 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor |
|
| |
Our Review - If you don’t mind upgrading to a physically larger camera to get better quality, this is the camera to go for. Great for taking pictures of kids and family events. It’s not as complicated as it looks; it’s simply bigger and will produce a better picture. Now you ask why will this one be better? Well it has nothing to do w/ the megapixels! It’s all about the lens and in this case the sensor. The larger the sensor in a camera, the higher quality image you will receive. The sensor in this camera is a lot larger than that of the camera above. Also you have another amazing Japanese lens manufacturer! If you want that great quality you see in professional pictures and are willing to put up w/ the size, this is your puppy. Has similar modes as the camera above has, just maybe not as many. Also if you ever decide to buy lenses for this camera and later upgrade, it will b seamless, as all Nikon cameras are compatible with the Nikkor lenses. Even if you have a very old lens from you film camera, it will work on here. The only difference is that there will be a multiplication factor of 1.5. Basically that means that if you have a 20mm film lens it will be converted to 30mm all due to the sensor. |

Our Review - If you are traveling anywhere, or are going to be taking pictures or video for an extended period of time, I would highly recommend one spare. You will always have a case where you forget to charge a battery or you may be shooting for an extended period of time. |

| Lowepro Digital SLR Camera Bag - REZO180AW |
|
| |
Our Review - Ok so you spend $450+ on a camera, but what about the bag that you will carry it in? In this case a soft and multipurpose bag is the way to go. If you ever decide to have other lenses or extra batteries, this is the way to go. What if you want to bring your small video camera trip on your family vacation? Well there is room for it if you don’t get any extra lenses. I know many families would want to bring their little camera with them as well sometimes when they take this. I personally used this bag because I was able to store 3 lenses on the side (that covered all my ranges when it came to shooting). Also the bag has a nice soft padded non-slip strap. As well this camera bag was designed with the utmost perfection. It is water resistant as well as; it has a full water jacket that is tucked into the main pocket (that can come out to cover the entire camera case). On top of which, the bag is very well padded and instead of opening on the outside (it opens from the top), it opens from the inside. This creates more security when it comes to traveling and you don’t want people to see what you have in the bag. As well if you leave the bag open and you lean forward, you don’t have to worry about everything falling out of the bag. The function is simple but very effective! |

| D80 Black SLR Digital Camera Kit w/18-135mm Lens (10mp) |
|
| |
Our Review - I used to own the Nikon D70, which was the model prior to this and is in the same pricing range. The main difference between this camera and the one above is 10mp vs. 6 in the on above, it’s a lot faster (3 frames per second vs 2.5 the one above), and it’s heavier. Those are the main differences. Now why would you need more frames a second? Well if your kids are like superman and seem to fly out of every picture you take or you go to their baseball games and want that awesome shot of them hitting the ball or sliding into home base! Now the weight should not be a concern and in fact is a good thing because, if you spend over $1,000 you need to feel like your holding a real camera, not a small one, like the Panasonic above. The lens on this camera is extremely nice. For more info, simply press the BUY NOW option on the right, below the product. |

Our Review - If you are traveling anywhere, or are going to be taking pictures or video for an extended period of time, I would highly recommend one spare.

This battery is suprisingly longer lasting than the one Nikon provides. |

| NIKON MB-D80 MULTI-POWER BAT - Vertical Battery Grip |
|
| |
Our Review - This vertical grip has two main benefits. One is that you are able to use two batteries at the same time, so that you don’t have to carry an extra battery on you. Second it lets you have a button on the side of a camera. Provides added stability with extended shooting potential Runs on either one or two EN-EL3e batteries or six AA-size batteries Compatible batteries include AA-size alkaline, Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), lithium and nickel-manganese. You should get two batteries for this to work well. |

| NIKON D200 DIGITL SLR KIT With 18-200AFSDX (10mp) |
|
| |
Our Review – The main difference of this camera vs the D80 (the one above it): larger range of ISO’s (an adjustment of light sensitivity), uses a Compact flash tpe of memory Vs. SD. SD typically does not go higher than 2gb. Compact flash goes as high as 16gb (that’s what I use). This camera is great at shooting sports. It is 5 frames per second vs. 3 above. Capture every movement of your child’s baseball game. Have you always wanted to go into the sports photography business? This is a perfect camera to start with. Many professionals use this as their secondary camera. Lastly this camera is heavier than the D80. I have been using this camera for over 6 months now and almost all of my modeling work has been with this amazing camera. The lens that comes with is great for traveling but horrible for crisp sharp images. I prefer the 50mm Nikkor F1.4. I use that lens for everything! |

Our Review - Ok so you spend $2000+ on a camera, but what about the bag that you will carry it in? I have researched a lot of camera bags for this camera. I use the vertical grip and considering the amount of equipment I carry with this camera, this is the BEST BAG! I normally keep 2 extra lenses, a flash (SB-800) and on top of which I have plenty of room for my business and compact flash cards. No longer do I have to put a bag down to take stuff out. No long will your back hurt from carrying a lot of equipment. This bad is extremely well padded and just like the rest of the Lowepro bags, it is water resistant and has a water jacket built in that covers the entire case if needed. If you’re on the road or traveling, this is the bag for you! |

Our Review - A lot of people ask me as to what lens to use for headshots of models or product shots. In any place where you have control of the environment and your placement, I would highly recommend this lens. Every shoot I have worked on w/ a model, I have used this lens. This lens produces high resolution and extremely high quality shots. Only drawback is that it doesn’t zoom. For the price, there is not better lens from any manufacturer. This is the lens that every photographer should have! |

| Nikon D3 Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) - 12mp |
|
| |
Our Review – Some people may ask, “what is the best of the best when it comes to SLR cameras?” The answer is Nikon D3! This camera has 12 megapixels! Has a higher ISO range and does not have a flash on top of it (that flash is useless anyways). Also this is the first camera to not have a multiplication factor in the sensor. This is a full sensor, so a 35mm lens is 35! An astounding NINE frames per second. If you can’t stop a bullet with this, I don’t know what will! It has a bigger screen (3inch vs 2.5) and it’s heavier. All comparisons are made w/ the Nikon D200. I prefer the 50mm Nikkor F1.4 for this camera. I use that lens for everything! ORDER YOURS AND BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO HAVE IT!! |
