Olympus Cameras : Olympus E30 DSLR Digital Camera | January 2009
Executive Summary about : Olympus Cameras By Elias Plastiras
 olympus cameras
Olympus E-30, a great digital SLR camera for anyone who wants to make the leap from a compact camera.
In addition to being a fully customisable camera with buttons and dials for all of its exposure settings, the E-30 offers an easy-to-use on-screen menu, preset scene modes, face detection and the best implementation of Live View we’ve seen.
In the Olympus E-30 it works like a charm. Its 2.7in LCD screen is crystal clear, there is no lag when you pan and tilt the camera, and, best of all, auto and manual focus functions work - and swiftly, too. We had a much better time using the Live View mode.

270 DEGREE SWIVEL 2.7″ HYPERCRYSTAL II LCD.
Unlike others with fixed LCDs, the new camera’s 100 percent accurate 270 degree swivel 2.7-inch Live View HyperCrystalTM LCD can be rotated freely so photographers can compose at tough angles, including overhead and down low, without feeling like a contortionist. Because Live View enables an E-30 photographer to communicate face-to-face with subjects and still have everything in the frame with the camera body out of the way, an encouraging smile or wink of the eye can be used with a shy or nervous subject to get the desired results.
The LCD screen can pop open and flip to let you line up self-portraits or low- and high-angled shots. It uses the Four Thirds lens mount, which was created by Olympus; in addition to using Olympus’ own lenses, you can find Four Thirds glass by Sigma and Leica. We used the Olympus DIGITAL 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 ED lens for our tests, which comes as part of the E-30 Single lens kit for $1899.
Using manual mode, we were able to set the correct exposure levels in dark and bright areas easily, and the aperture priority and shutter priority modes worked well, too. For focusing, the Olympus E-30 has manual and autofocus modes, as well as face detection. For precise focusing, you can select from 11 focus points on the screen, but you’ll probably need to read the manual to find out how to change these points, as it’s unintuitive. The camera did a good job of focusing fast and with the 14-42mm lens could focus as close as 8cm to subjects.
We recommend the Olympus E-30 to anyone who is considering making the leap from an advanced compact camera to a D-SLR, as it’s an easy camera to use overall, and the Live View mode will make it a relatively smooth transition.

Camcorder Digital : Recording Format of Common Digital Camcorder
Executive Summary about : Camcorder Digital By goshopping.thestar.com
 mini camcorder digital Tape one of the surprising things about digital camcorders is that many of them still use tape (in cassette form) to record data. Others use DVDs or solid state memory. These are the major formats in use.
Some camcorders record directly onto memory cards such as flash memory, Memory Sticks or Secure Digital cards. Exactly how much data they hold varies a great deal. Memory cards are also expensive compared to other storage media like tapes and disks. Some digital camcorders use tape to store video footage and a memory card to store still images.
As far as I known, digital camcorder can be classified to 4 group according to the recording format that they use. And they are :
Digital 8 camcorders record a digital signal onto an 8mm digital video tape. The format is useful to those who have previously owned an analogue 8mm camcorder as they can still play their old tapes, but film digitally going forward.
The camcorder records digitally onto compact cassettes which are easy to store and use. This format records digital video onto a digital video tape and is currently the most popular format as recordings can be easily exported to a computer and edited. Some mini-DV camcorders can also convert VHS tapes to a digital format when they are connected to a VCR. To play on anything other than your TV (which you do by using a link to the camcorder itself) you will need to download the data to your PC and burn it onto a DVD for use in a DVD player.
DVD camcorders record digital video onto a DVD and can conveniently be played back in a DVD player immediately after recording. These are smaller than DVD movie discs but can play in DVD players. For the most part they record in mpeg-2 which may or may not be editable depending on whether your computer reads the format, and you have the applicable software. However, DVD camcorders record in one of two formats: DVD-R - which will work in most DVD Players - but can only be recorded on once; or DVD-RAM, which can be used for multiple recordings but which, at present, fewer DVD Players will accommodate.
These camcorders record digital video directly onto an internal hard drive. Most have the capacity to record up to 7 hours or more, making them ideal for consumers wishing to film events without having to switch out tapes. Once the drive is full however, content must be downloaded before the camcorder can be used again.
