Disney Pix JrThe Disney Pix Jr. Digital Camera makes a good introductory camera for the youngest photographers. Tough and sturdy, this kid-friendly digital camera comes with picture buttons for easy use by non-readers and the option of including Disney characters in each photograph.

This Disney digital camera for kids is encased in a rubber shell that both protects the delicate machinery inside and bulges out on either side to make it easy for small hands to grip the camera and hold it steady during picture-taking. The large camera buttons, also, are designed for tiny fingers, and each is clearly labeled with a different icon.

Panasonic GH1 Before you excite too fast, I let me remind you, this GH1 can be classified as SLR cameras, and this, in part because of the lack of a mirror and a roof prismAt least these are the key points, according to Wikipedia, to make a real DSLR SLR.

The GH1 is actually a micro 4 / 3, a new type of camera where the mirror was removed and the LCD, a bit like the bridge, took the place of the optical viewfinder.
Ye,s GH1 is the result of the union between your Reflex classical and Bridge, is a hybrid that is supposed to make the best of each, in the best of both worlds.

Now that summer is here, hikers are enjoying the great outdoors and taking lots of pics with their digital cameras… Today’s digital cameras – compact, mid-size, and zoom- point & shoot as well DSLR are shooting pictures at 8, 10-, 12- and 15 meg resolution. They present storage problems and photo editing.

Here are three important tips – a) Memory Cards – If you like taking lots of pictures on your weekend excursions or vacations – take extra cards – 4 GB is the standard now. The smaller the card the less pics you lose if you misplace your memory card. b) it doesn’t take long to use alot of your hard drive space on your computer with pics – so invest in a external hard drive – two types – portable 250 -320 GB and desktop 500 GB or more. Additonal backup – is to burn a copy your pics on DVDs c) Photo-editing programs – There are a number of free online photo-editing programs (20 plus) out there on the web -start with them first…some of these include Picnik , Fotoflexer, Phixr, Adobe Photoshop Express , to name a few.

Memories of your weekend & vacation experiences with family and friends are so important. Number one reason people go on vacations is to have unique experiences. Its pays to be prepared and have extra memory cards, an external hard drive to download and store your photos, back-ups on DVDs and to use photo editing programs. The 2009 Hike the Highlands Festival will once again have a photo contest for flora, fauna, people, humour and scenery categories . The festival will also have a group photo gallery on flickr ( to be annouced soon) where hikers can also post their pictures during the festival.
