Buy second hand
Nov 15, 2016 03:18 PM 2399 Views

If you want to buy a digital camera fpr pourpose to take good photoes not for money making or other for extra earning then you buy second hand digital camera because the price of 3 times high of new camere than older camera so you can buy a camera which only one year old not more than one year older because if camera is older than 1.5 year then it does not have new features so you buy camera which is one year old.


when you buy camera check properly lens of camera and now days 16 mp camera is common so buy 16mp or more than 16 mp.


the camera having 10x zoom also beacuse it common now days.


buy branded like sony because it provide very good quality than other brands.

My brother who works in an IT firm enjoys photography. So I decided on his birthday I will gift a portable digital camera so that he no more has to use his mobile phone to take pictures. I love shopping online so I settled on buying the digital camera online. A frnd suggested to buy from edabba.


I visited the site and loved what I saw. Easy layout, wide range of electronic products and most importantly cash on delivery option. I bought a black canon power shot from edabba. they constantly updated me with the delivery details and delivered it within the promised time.

Sony or digital cameras
Jan 17, 2011 12:18 PM 15352 Views

Hi all,


I am planning to buy a digital camera for domestic use in the range of Rs 10, 000 to Rs 16000.


I hope anyone of you who is an expert or know well about digital cameras can answer my queries and suggest me a suitable model.


My queries are,




  1. I have heard Sony and Canon are best. Which one to buy among the two and which model no?




  2. In Sony, I was told Carl Ziess lens is better. Any idea how is the Sony lens and Sony G lens. Because for a similar price Sony cameras with Sony lens or Sony G lens cameras offer optical zoom of 7 to 10 x(Super zoom), whereas Sony cameras with Carl Zeiss lens offer only 4x. So is it worth going for Superzoom with Sony or G lens or settle to Carl zeis lens camera with only 4 x zoom?






waiting for replies.

Sony Digital Camera DSC-S930
Feb 16, 2010 04:24 PM 12359 Views

I bought this camera in a special scheme offer. The total cost is Rs. 5700/- along with free 2GB card, pouch and Battery charger. Looking at the cost the camera is good but I failed to go through the complete features of this camera before buying. The picture quality is good. It is a 10.1 Mega pixel camera. The biggest disadvantage is video resolution is only 320x240 and no zoom available while shooting video. The optical zoom is also at lower side.


This is a good camera for still images but not for video. It is better buy camera with better video features. We get into trap by looking at higher mega pixels. Better to learn from the mistakes.


Best Digital SLR Camera
Feb 02, 2010 05:15 PM 11336 Views

I am 27 and interested in photography. I love taking pics especially on travelling. I admire nature, animals and love to take peculiar snaps of them. I am also interested in portfolio creation.I am a beginner in photography and have no idea on the photographic terminologies. Also I do not have any friend or relatives to suggest in this regard.I would like someone to suggest a online or class learning in photography since theoretical knowledge is very important. Also I would expect a recommendation on the best brand of a SLR camera with a good quality for a beginner.


I would also like to know if a SLR camera is worth buying here in India or outside in the USA or any other country? Will there be a cost difference and quality difference?I would look in for a moderate price range of 20k - 25k since I am a beginner.


Kindly suggest.

High Definition digital camera
Jan 15, 2010 07:35 PM 7882 Views

Recently I had brought a samsung digital camera(12.2 megapixel) with High Definition Video recording worth Rs.20, 990/-(model No. ST500) & got one reebok sunglass as free gift. The camera has got Schneider - Kreuznach varioplan lens by which I can capture great pictures. The videos are great which are of high definition 720p. The camera is very small to carry anywhere and have dual screen for easy shoot with touch screen 3" display. It can be easily compared to any other digital cameras such as Nikon, Canon etc. because of it's lens which are made by medium lens maker KREUZNACH. The zoom is great which has got 5xoptical zoom & another 5xdigital zoom.


Some things I think the camera deserves more are - The camera lens are 27mm wide whereas nowadays 28mm wider lens are provided in costly cameras like this one I have purchased. The ISO is 32 whereas other digital cameras in this range provide 64 ISO by which we can take much clearer pictures without using the flash. The camera screen has not been provided any safety transparent paper above the 3" screen as provided in other digital cameras for long life of the screen.


The ST500 camera is great except those mention above. The photos & videos are great and can be compared/beat any other costly digital camera such as Nikon, Canon etc. The photos I'm attaching have been reduced to around 300 - 500 KB of size using Nero photo because they're of large size of 5 MB per copy & it takes lots of time in attaching it. The videos are too great in size(due to high definition) to attached from my internet connection so I am attaching only the photos.


RAW is WAR
Sep 23, 2009 04:11 PM 11522 Views

Its festive time with Navratri/Dusshera and Diwali round the corner. Time to dress up and time to bring out and clean your cameras and gear up for some great snaps.


If you are undecided on which camera to buy/use, here's a little writeup that might stir the photographer in you and possibly help you decide. I had been using the Canon Powershot A540 for almost 2 years before I switched on to the Nikon D3000. The 1st one is a very good point-and-shoot digicam while the 2nd one is what you call a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex).


To put it in a simple manner, every photo that you capture is a function of (1) the field of view shown by your lens, (2) the amount of light allowed to be captured by adjusting the size of aperture (hole) and the length of time of exposure and (3) the sensitivity of your photographic plate/film/sensor.


So what is it that makes Digicams different from DSLRs ? Are the differences really important. Following are a few "points of comparison" between Digicams & DSLRs that might help you decide.


(1) Format - Photos taken by Digicams are usually "processed" before being saved in JPEG format. It basically means that the output is not the same as input and the software on your camera has altered the output in a preprogrammed way (depending on the camera manufacturer). To put is bluntly, it means that your camera decides what kind of pictures you take. With DSLRs, photos are captured in what is called RAW formatwhich is basically capturing all that comes in the camera in its entirety without any modification/processing. In a way this is equivalent to a film negative. This is where DSLRs really sell. They give you the ability to capture a photo and change settings (color, sharpness, exposure), not as much to give outstanding results but more to compensate for the wrong setting which you may have used to take the pic. On the flip side, RAW format occupies approx. 8 times the space compared to the JPEG format. So you'll have to use 4/8/16 GB cards for decent memory backup.


(2) Zoom - a much misunderstood term. I assume everyone knows that digital zoom is zilch and we are talking of optical zoom here. Zoom simply means the ability of a camera to vary its focal length & hence approach to the subject within a range. This is different from magnification which is the ability of bringing the subject closer to the camera. Just to illustrate the point, the human eye has a focal length of around 50 mm. So a camera that zooms from 15mm to 45 mm will have a so called zoom of 3x but even at maximum zoom, the pics will appear farther than that seen by the naked human eye. Compared to this another camera/lens may have a zoom of 150mm-300mm, i.e only 2x but at a setting of 300 mm, it will magnify the object 6 times compared to the naked eye.


(3) Depth of field - is the ability of a camera to focus over a distance. A camera having a large depth of field will have the ability to focus equally well at objects both near and far in the same photograph. For example if you are taking pics of a person standing 2 kms from a mountain, a deep focus camera will have both the person and the mountain in sharp focus while a shallow focus camera will have only the person in sharp focus while the mountain will appear blurred. The depth of field is what allows you multiple focus points on the same snap.


(4) Antiblur/Vibration Reduction - The ability of a camera to accommodate shakes/vibration. This becomes especially important with long zooms when even a small shake can spoil the picture. Both Digicams and DSLRs have anti-shake techonologies but in case of DSLRs, VR (Vibration Reduction) lenses are often thrice as expensive as normal ones.


(5) Megapixels - A rather hyped-up feature of cameras. Anything above 7-8 megapixels is sufficient for printing 4"6" or 5"7" snaps as also for playback. Its only when you want larger prints that 10 Megapixels and above is desirable.


(6) Video - Most Digicams today offer video capture (usually in DivX formats) while only middle range and above DSLRs offer video shooting. However, most of the DivX formats are proprietary and playback in other gadgets is often a headache. But the thing to watch out here is which cameras offer the "zoom" facility while video capture. This turns out to be a very useful feature.


(7) Lenses – While Digicams have fixed lenses, DSLRs have removable ones. This means that you can use different types of lenses for different situations. Original Nikon/Canon/Pentax/Sony lenses cost anything from 5K to 1000k (yes you read it right). However companies like Tamron & Sigma offer cheaper alternatives with almost the same quality.


(8) Weight - DSLRs, even the most light ones, typically weigh about 800 gms and above with a lens while digicams are usually between 130-250 gms. So if you have problems holding your camera for too long, DSLRs should be out of consideration.


(9) Cost - While the best digicams/prosumers cost about 22K, DSLRs start at about 28K. Add to that the cost of various lenses which are often costlier than the camera. You might have to shell out at least 60-70K for a couple of lenses to "complete" your DSLR kit.


(10) Battery - Most DSLRs have Li-ion batteries which offer good backup and are easily recharged (within a couple of hours) but are costlier too. Most Digicams would have AA sized R6 batteries which are cheaper but take longer to recharge.


So much for the various points of contention between Digicams & DSLRs. But the most important aspect that would help you decide your camera is "What is it that you want to shoot". Situations like Underlit Rooms, Fireworks, fast moving objects, "Flash Banned" monuments, full object from close-up (wide-angle), etc are best photographed on a DSLR. You'll notice that the list covers up almost everything. Though the Digicams today are fast offering a lot of features previously limited only to DSLRs, the gap is still wide.


To conclude, for Purists there has never been a debate. Its always been DSLRs. But even for "Adulterists" (for want of a better word), one clincher I'd like to put forth in favour of DSLRs is that it has enough intricacies to keep you hooked for a long time.


For someone like me who gets bored of hobbies too soon, DSLR photography has managed to keep me amused for quite some time.

Homeshop18- Good but could be better
Jun 30, 2009 03:20 PM 5294 Views

I purchased a Samsung Digital camera on 22/09/2008 and immediately I got a confirmation sms stating my transaction details. It also stated that shipment is under process. Within 12 hours I got another sms stating that shipment is ready to be shipped by first flight.


I called them again on the same number they told me the camera was shipped, however did not have the AWB number and could not even tell me exactly by when I would receive it...The camera was delivered on 28/09/2008 and I found it up to my satisfaction.


The prices are very reasonable and most of the time discounted. Also shipment is free for all items. I saved Rs. 1500+ by buying it from Homeshop18. It was my first business with Homeshop18 and I am quite happy with them. Only problem is they need to update and keep track of the deliveries.
