A fun "toy" for photography enthusiasts
I bought a Lomo Action Sampler for a college class several years ago and quickly became hooked. Simply stated this is a fun photography "toy'" suitable for every age and skill level. I enjoy using non-digital cameras and this one produces some unique and beautiful images. There is no flash so using the camera in bright daylight works best but I have been able to create some great images in "less than ideal" conditions by using different types of film.
My only complaint is that it's a bit too easy to accidentally expose the film because of the ease of opening the camera body. However a piece of tape placed over the open button does the trick!

An Honest Review About An Honest And Faithful Workhorse-the Nikon FM10!
I really hope that this short review is of some help to those who are out there searching for a nice and affordable camera to buy. There are so many to choose from and so many different ways especially with shopping via the Internet to purchase cameras that it helps to have someone help out. You'll find that the Nikon FM-10 is lightweight but as durable as some cameras that are much more expensive.
I am an avid photographer and I love two brands of cameras Canon and Nikon. The Nikon FM10 is a durable and dependable 35mm film camera. The kit comes complete with everything you will need to begin your new photographic adventure. My only concern for people that are not VERY familiar with cameras is that you might now realize that this model is not automatic like the newer versions. If you have the time to spend focusing your subject-then this is a camera that will perform consistently for you. If you are brand new to photography and would like for your camera to do all of the focusing and other adjustments you're likely better off at least reviewing the newer versions of this SAME camera.
I have used this camera over and over and over again. In all honesty it's as good a camera as any at this level. The photos are always crisp and predictable and the body of the camera has held up well for over 7 years. I've found myself taking photographs and then the rain would come and soak myself and the camera. Even without proper water protection the camera has not shown any problems or any sign of rusting.
You'll find it easy to load your film and quite easy to get used to taking great pictures. The lens that is included with the Camera Kit is a very good one and will serve most of your needs. There is a great array of additional lenses and other products that you can buy to add to you Nikon FM10.
The camera was launched to the public as the Nikon FM-10 in 1995. A magazine that I like to read Popular Photography felt that Nikon could have done a bit better with this camera outfit-but that was ONLY their opinion. But In 1996 an automatic version of the lightweight FM10 the Nikon FE-10 was also being introduced as a continuation model to the discontinued Nikon FE-2. The FE-2 was retired in 1986. For many Nikon fans mixed feelings were abundant about the original launch of the NIKON FM-10. But few could argue that the general mechanics of the camera are good to outstanding.
Take your time in researching the right camera for you. I think that this would be a great camera for students who are taking an introductory photography class. With Automatic-Everything Cameras it's too easy to swith to "AUTO" when you're learning how to take photographs in a class. The Nikon FM10 would allow the new student to "focus" on the true and important elements of photography that are extremely helpful to an aspiring photographer.
I hope this was helpful at least in part. It was a pleasure to share information with you and I'd be happy to entertain questions about anything that I've missed in this review.

Giddy over Polaroid 300
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2UN49WH80WFDR I have to admit electronics and hardware don't excite me but I'd be lying if I told you that I wasn't just a little giddy when United Parcel delivered a package containing the new Polaroid 300 camera.
Earlier this month Polaroid Corporation with the approval of their spokesperson Lady Ga-Ga released the pic-300 camera. It takes 10 pictures per roll on business card-sized paper (the film is similar to the old 600 and SX-70 type film.)
Speaking of old-style Polaroid film in January of this year Polaroid announced that they will be updating their old-fashioned Polaroid One Step camera (The pic-1000 to be released later this year). The Impossible Project also announced the introduction of a new color film that will fit all Polaroid 600 cameras. No word yet if Polaroid film partner Fuji Film will also release 600 type film.
With limited features and a fixed focus the Polaroid 300 may not be for everyone but I can tell you that it adds lots of FUN to any party where people can walk away with a smile and a color print in their hand.
All-in-all it is quite a year for instant film photography. Just think...this would be possible without YOU! So pick up some film and start shooting!

Great entry level frame
Very happy with this one. I have several Pandigital frames and a Sony. Bought this one as a gift for my in-laws and it's great for what they wanted it for which is snaps of the grandkids and stuff. I prefer a larger size myself which we have in our kitchen also from Pandigital but this one looks great and very happy.

Great first-timer
I had been kicking around the idea of buying a camcorder for a couple of weeks and bought this model just two days before going on vacation. I didn't do a whole lot of research I just liked the look and the price. It is small and sleek and super easy to use. It can use regular 8MM tapes Hi8 or Digital8. I used it for recording live music performances in Nashville and was happy with the quality of the video and audio on playback. There are 8 effects for shooting (sepia stretch etc.) along with three fade-ins/outs. So I have more options than I really know what to do with at this point but I'm sure I'll get into them as I use it more. The display is sweet and can rotate around.
My one complaint is the battery area. The battery clips on the back but there is no cover - my Sony digital camera has a locking compartment the battery slides in. I'll probably also be picking up a spare even though it seems to hold a charge well. I really like the size because I have small hands and short fingers but I can still use the strap and reach all the buttons.More detail ...
Not EZ to operate
Received as a present - very poor user manual - settings are clumsy and unstable. Could not get rid of the clock on the screen and the pictures turned to an uncontrollable rolling screen of garbage after a few minutes of operation. NOT recommended at any price.

The litter meter that could
For it's size I love it. I shoot with the same ISO and I'm looking for a quick check of the light. I shoot weddings so I NEED to be fast and get it right the first time.
I gave it four stars because their are better meters out there that do a lot more for a lot more money. I had no problems with its functions. I was able to change my ISO just fine.
I don't use all its functions but that fine. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're looking for a small simple meter you can't go wrong with this meter.

Great Camcorder - Better than my First.
I bought this camcorder 4 months after the sound on my other one stopped working and I was impressed. The optical zoom is good at 20x and the digital zoom (which is completely pointless) is 990x. The second thing I noticed is that the LCD screen moved to more places and that there was 2 record buttons. One was on the LCD screen the other was next to the off button. The viewfinder can also move to different places but is still in Black and white. Another feature that this camcorder has is Nightshot Plus. This feature allows you to record at night with a brighter picture than with a flashlight or lamp. There are also many DSEs or Digital Special Effects that you can play with in recording or editing. They are:
Sepia: adds a brown old tone to the screen
Black and White: the way films used to be
Negative Art: reverses the colors in the picture
Pastel: makes the picture look colored in with a pastel crayon
Solarize: makes the picture out of basic colors
Mosaic: the picture - made out of squares
Slim: stretches the picture vertically
Stretch: a lot like widescreen
When filming out or indoors there are different Program AEs you can use when the light in the picture changes. If you dont like switching them you can set them to AUTO. The PAEs are:
Sports
Spotlight
Portrait
Beach/Ski
SunsetMoon
Landscape
If you want to buy this camcorder because it has great battery life don't. It doesn't have a great battery life but it is still a great camcorder.

I found a good deal on this item so I figured I would pick one up. I've seen clearer frames but this one is a good deal for the price. If you want top quality I wouldn't recommend this one. Good item for a cheap price.

Very happy with it
When our 8mm stopped working that we had used for nine years I found it overwhelming to research and find a new camera.
I knew I didn't want digital because I don't even use my digital still camera very often other than to e-mail pictures.
I knew that I wanted another 8mm so that we could play our tapes we have now. I didn't want to spend too much money. We received this camera a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. It even has more options than I really need. We charged the battery when we got the camera and for 2 weeks we have been filming the kids occasionally and the battery is still full. I never thought I would use the night vision but have found it is fun to film the kids when they are asleep and I don't have to turn a light on to film. The zoom works well and the color looks good. For the price I don't see how you could get a better camera. I don't think you could find a better analog camera even if you did spend more money. I obviously can't comment on how well it will hold up in the future but as far as its performance now I love it.

Good little meter but too many unused extras
The digisix meter is advertised as a "five-in-one" device but truthfully speaking I've only ever found it useful as a light meter. Besides the meter it has a countdown timer that you can set to whatever length of time you want after which it starts to beep incessantly in a high pitched electronic chirp; it has a clock; it has an alarm for the clock; and it has a temperature thermometer. I've never really used the temperature thermometer although it's there whenever I end up pushing the mode button by mistake and have to cycle through all of the other modes to get back to the light metering mode. That's another thing that's wrong with this meter besides having all these extra "modes" that I never use if the meter is the only mode that you want to use then accidentally pushing the mode button makes you have to push the mode button four more times to cycle it back into light metering mode.
As a light meter this Gossen is nice little gem. It's small (just about the size of a well-sized skipping stone) it's light (made almost entirely of flat black matte plastic on the outside and not the cheap kind) it's got a sliding incident reading bulb (for taking incident reading light measurements or in other words readings from the subject to where the camera is going to be) a digital readout (it's a digital light meter after all or in other words with one push of the metering button it will display its light reading almost instantly) and an analog reading wheel (or in other words a dial that you can turn that will simultaneously show all the readings for all the aperture settings and shutter speeds that are available for that current reading for that current film speed that you're using). As a light meter by itself I've found this meter to be very accurate for exposing normal everyday black & white and color negative film. I'm not exactly sure how accurate it would be for slide films (which have less exposure latitude than negative films and are more sensitive to small variations in exposure).
Now some caveats for this meter. The analog dial only runs from 4 minutes down to 1/2000 seconds but that won't stop you from etching in your own readings on the edge of the dial if your camera can go longer than 4 minutes or shorter than 1/2000 seconds (it is a simple geometric scale in other words a doubling or a halving of the speed of the shutter to let double or half the amount of light through the camera and onto the film; it's not like the wheel stops turning just because it gets to the end of the numbers Note: the wheel turns all the way around).
Another caveat is that it is a multiple step process to change the ISO Speed reading of the film that you are metering for with this meter so if you're changing filmspeeds very often using this meter is going to be a pain in the behind. If you only use one speed of film or if you're not going to change it very often then the multiple step process to change the film speed shouldn't be too much of problem but it will be a caveat.
A third caveat is that the way this meter works is you take your light reading with it and then dial into the analog wheel the number that it gives you in its display. The analog wheel in other words is split into three layers: the outside layer has all of the shutter speeds on it the middle layer is etched into the meter itself and has all of the aperture sizes on it the inside layer is visible through a little magnifying bubble at the "twelve o'clock" portion of the meter and in it is displayed the "EV" numbers which correspond the actual number that the meter itself digitally displays after you press the reading button when taking a reading of a scene. Now this may seem kludgy at first but in actuality it combines the best of both the worlds of digital and analog light meters (and by the way is the only meter I've found that does this). In other words it combines the analog physical wheels (that Gossen is famous for) with the speed of the digital meter.
I like it if you haven't noticed but this little meter really doesn't need all of the extra modes that Gossen put into it as it slows down the operation of the meter on occasion and they're never really used. If you ask me where they could improve it I would say make it solely a light meter make it easier to quickly change the ISO speed of the film for the readings (maybe even include the ISO speed on a fourth layer on the wheels as by the way it is done on Gossen's normal analog wheel meters). Combine the wheels of the old with the fast digital readout of the new and you've got yourself a bonified five star light meter but cluttered as it is now although the meter itself is accurate and quick and easy to use I'll have to say that in the end it's only really worth four stars.More detail ...
under-rated!!
this camera is really under-rated. i bought this camera on a hunch and am so glad i did. when i saw the results of my first roll of film i was so impressed. i was considering buying the v4000 but i wanted something no one else had. this camera has some features that the v4000 doesn't have. why the v4000 is priced more than the v3800n? i will never know. this camera has a depth of field preview and a self timer. also if the batteries run out the camera still works. (batteries only control light metering) also this camera has multi exp. button which really helpsand a metering button when working with aperture. the only negatives i can find is the lack of info that is provided in the instruction manual. but if you know cameras or have other means to find out how to work this "bad boy" then this is the camera for you! the lens that comes with the camera is fairly decent. good for starting you off. it has a 1:4 macro setting which gets you started working with macro. maximum aperture is 3.4. not very big but like i said a starter. all around my favorite!

High-quality camcorder
I purchased this camcorder a few weeks ago. I wanted a high-quality up-to-date camcorder but was not interested in paying over five hundred dollars for digital. It is extremely easy to use and is high quality. I have never used a camcorder before and this took me just a few minutes to learn. I have had no problems with it to date. The sound quality is wonderful when you play it back on the TV. If you are looking for the Sony brand and don't care about not having all the extras then this camcorder is for you.
Pros: durable small light and easy to use.
Cons: no LCD screen no image stabilizerMore detail ...
A Great Camcorder at an Affordable Cost
I am an aspiring filmmaker so I wanted a good-quality camcorder at a low price. I got it with this. It's only $499 (which is great considering all the stuff it has) and can do some cool effects. It has 8 filming effects 4 fading effects a 2.5" color LCD screen a black and white viewfinder and much more. You can even create your own titles! This is a great camcorder for beginners to use to get a feel for it. I think it's great!

Picture Qua;ity
I read the other review which said that the picture was grainy. More so than a Sony camera of comparable qualty. I took pictures in good light and found that the video quality was excellent in normal and telephoto shooting. I used Hi8 video tape. The picture was grainy only in low light situations. In a low light situation I don't plan to take videos although the lens is light sensitive enough to take such pictures. I have several other camcorders of different models and types and this camera stands up with the best of them. It is also small and very easy to carry and take pictures... I plan to keep it. It is an excellent camcorder.

Compact convenient and great battery life.
The camera really is easy to use and is loaded with features. The remaining battery life indicator is a GREAT feature. The special effects are fun to use. The night shot is cute but my use would be minimal. Overall it is a very good camcorder. I would buy it again.

So far so good
Ok I have owned this camcorder for about 3 weeks and it has performed very well so far. The quality of the picture is very good. The high quality of the night shot picture in total darkness was a big surprise. For 50 bucks the infared hookup to the tv or vcr was a good choice. I wish the LCD screen could be a bit bigger 2.5 is a little small. 3 inch would have been better. A word of advice If you get the camera from somewhere other than a Ciurcut City or Best Buy type store you can get a very good three year extended warranty for ALOT less than a big chain store. Don't kid yourself these cameras will break and a one year standard warranty is not enuogh to cover your approx. $1000 investment.

What's the Buzz about???
After looking at what Sony had to offer on their digital camcorder line I decided to buy a TRV340. I was impressed with all the features it had to offer. After playing with the shelf model for a while I purchased the TRV340. Once I opened the product at home and inserted the tape there was a hum or buzzing noise while recording or playing back a recording. In a quiet environment this buzz is also picked up in the recording. The location of the buzzing sound came from the tapes drive mechanism. I returned the product two times and all subsequent camcorders aired this buzz. If you are looking to buy this product play with a shelf model WITH THE TAPE IN. This way you can judge if this will be a problem for you.
