Does anyone know of a place that can repair/clean a A35F rangefinder in Los Angeles and for how much?

It was found in a second hand store and shows signs of wear. It was initially working (shutter would fire, flash is functioning, film winder working), but then I changed the battery to a new one (PX625A at radio shack). Now shutter no longer fires and battery check says doesn't have much (battery that was in the unit showed almost no at all), which I'm guessing means the battery contacts are dirty. I put the original battery back in and the shutter still doesn't want to fire anymore. I can't tell if something jammed or the camera has locked itself up for some reason.

This is a pretty good camera -- I actually have one.

Clean the battery contacts with the butt end of an eraser-tipped pencil.

If this doesn't work, toss it in the recycle bin as repairing it will cost more than another (working) camera.

Camera Body Excellent

06 Jan 2010 by


500D - Eos 500D Rebel T1I

Since the early days of digital , I use mainly include electronic devices. Although the picture quality in the initial period as compared to analog was pretty gruesome, so the direct availability, direct editing weighed, the direct print mE In most cases, the disadvantages of the lack of quality.

For the cases of truly challenging photography I took my two analog SLR to date: a Rolleiflex and a Minolta.

The Canon EOS 500D is my first digital SLR. A gift of the family on the recommendation of a photo retailer.

The initial experience.

Focus and speed: Automatic, fast, accurate in all available modes. In any case, this is true with the supplied kit 18-55mm IS. In focus-tracking is still accurate, and also for movement-images quickly enough.

Manual focus of course, also works. But why? Exposure and focus can be set to spot or evaluative. This is sufficient for practice.

Handling: This material is OK. The camera seems robust and stable. Only in comparison with the magnesium-Teddy from Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Olympus is seen and felt it better.

The camera is great for my hands not the optimum, but it can still work well with it. The "low" weight has advantages and disadvantages. The balance is thus more in the direction of the lens, you have to carry less. Stabilization by hand is not sufficient given. Anyone who comes from a compact camera, and has never worked with an SLR, will find the camera but as a very high quality and very large.

All buttons and controls open up after a short acclimation. The monitor is of excellent quality.

However, the monitor I use only for movies and for settings. In the pure photography mode, I shut it off permanently, because I'm used to at first, use the viewfinder of an SLR, and second is the Live View focusing a slow wit.

What exactly is this live-view? In my view, a pure marketing gimmick for people who come from digital compact cameras. The viewfinder is much faster and the first images the way you want them and how you see them.

I use the movie mode in the 720p version. Give me perfect, and the results are reproduced at 30 frames per second, also in a liquid. Unlike others, I find the video function is very nice and helpful. Here you MUST use the Monitor Incidentally, since, because the mirror pops up, the viewfinder remains black.

For the main point: How are the pictures?

I can only write something about the standard system, ie, image stabilization with the kit lens 18-55mm.

Quite amazing in my eyes the noise performance, image stabilization and the detailing of the camera in poor, low-light conditions. I've in street lighting, clear photos of moving objects are not from the hand to ISO 1600. Super.

Here the noise behavior of the camera is really very good. Both RAW as well as in JPEG Fine. Indoors, I leave the flash off and the images are generally 1A.

Enables you to pinpoint the flash of a face against a light background, for example, add, control the camera performs a really great job: The images are not "flash is dead" but really brightened only by the relevant authorities. The rest, of course, remains.

The level of detail is extremely high, though many details are available, which differ in color. BUT: In contrast to low light conditions, the texture behavior in the sunshine in JPEG mode is improved. Regardless of whether program, aperture or aperture priority and even in purely manual recording level> the texture behavior, and also the highlight of treatment are not optimal.

Texture says: The surface treatment. Here for example is from my white shepherd dog in the snow in sunlight, sometimes even a white mass with two button issues, and I quite a lot of aperture, time, white balance, etc. I experimented. DAS may also have a good compact better. This could be, as is the dynamic behavior at high dynamic range of the recording in JPEG mode, with a firmware adjustment mE be improved.

All in all, the Camera 500D, but a very good, fast camera with excellent picture quality in almost any lighting condition, which dedicated amateur photographers offers everything they need when they do not want to shoot in the rain or the Sahara. The image quality in RAW mode is probably just as well as in the two-digit and APS-C models from Nikon and Canon.

I do not know yet whether I'll keep it. If I had picked myself a DSLR and would not get this as a gift, it would probably become a Pentax K-7th Why?

I once had with a Rolleiflex in the Sahara. After the repair and cleaning was almost as expensive as the camera itself. A water-and dust-tight enclosure is m.E. worth a lot and for a reasonable price, offers, in conjunction with a magnesium body and video recording, only the Pentax. > How Will see. For, from this level of photography, the EOS 500D back in the digital compact class level now also even () anymore.

Check for Low Price Now!...

Camera 500D - Excellent Camera

I have upgraded from a Canon 350D to this Camera 500D. Why? a) More pixels so I can crop without worrying too much. b) Screen on the 350D is far too small for my eyesight. The 500 screen is marvellous even held high. c) Auto Sensor cleaning. d) better quality images. e) video is a bonus but not on my wish list but nice to have anyway and it works great. I also looked at the 50D but chose to instead spend the difference in price on buying a Speedlight 580EX ll which is really good.

I mainly use a Canon 18-200mm since I normally have a dog lead in one hand and a camera in the other and stopping to change lenses is not really an option.... and the lens is plenty good enough.

I have just taken photos at a private function, mainly indoors and the quality is great.
My only gripe with the Camera 500D is that if you are like me and constantly switch the camera off and on you really need to be careful that in so doing you haven't moved the function wheel. I pretty much always have mine set to AV and I have been caught out a few times having knocked the wheel over to Manual.

All in all I am tickled pink with the Camera 500D and can recommend it without hesitation.


Brilliant latest addition, but with a few reservations

Having just got this latest addition to the Canon EOS range (to replace my ageing 10D), I just had to try it out, of course!

This is a welcome upgrade, with the Digic 4 processor living up to expectations. Using the Custom Function7 (Auto Lighting Optimiser), you'll be hard-pressed to come up with a badly-exposed pic! However, remember that it only works for under-exposed photos, and over-exposed still remain so - there's never been much you can do about a bright sky with an otherwise dull landscape, unless you take multiple separately-exposed photos and manipulate with Photoshop trickery, or else manipulate the RAW photo! However, the overexposed highlights are of course monitored and pointed out to you in the playback monitor immediately afterwards.

The highlight tone priority is quite a good function (CF6), but then any CF2 use to expand the highest ISO from 3200 to 12800 is lost, as the two don't work together! Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, as the higher ISO's are mainly used for concerts and otherwise dimly-lit shots, but you'll do as well to remember the limitation.

The LiveView - not available in Basic Zone modes, but that's fair enough! - is not bad at all, and the vastly improved screen resolution helps a lot. However, the screen tends to get smudged easily, as with all cameras with the eyepiece so close to a large monitor.

Nevertheless, the brightness is not bad, although viewing on a brighly-lit day tends to mute the colours you see. The biggest gripe is the choice of LiveView settings - the Quick mode functions well, but the Live Mode and Live Mode with Face detection feature a particularly annoying pause while the mirror flips for focusing. And why oh why did Canon decide that you would have to press an entirely separate button (the AE/FE lock "*" on the back) to establish focus? Surely it would have been better to use the shutter-release button?

Same goes for starting and stopping a video recording - you have to press the Live View shooting mode button to the right of the monitor to start/stop it!

Hovever, the gripes are only cosmetic, as are some of these features. Serious photographers won't be using them much at all, although they're nice to have "in an emergency"!

The camera body itself is light, although as usual adding a lens and Speedlite tend to vastly add to the weight. But individually the body sits naturally in the hand, with the slightly-better grip contributing to ease-of-handling and a firm grip.

Overall, a superb piece of kit, with the results exceeding expectations. Certainly comparable with the Nikon D90, but of course a must-have for a snapper having a range of Canon lenses already!

Highly recommended!

Maruti Alto

The most popular common man's car is here to meet the expectations of people. Maruti Alto has gained a reputation which perhaps no car has been able to get till now. The succees has been tremendous. Thanks to its partner Suzuki's competence in building small cars, Maruti Udyog has been able to offer some of the best hatchbacks in the country. The Alto is based on the Wagon R's platform but has an identity of its own. It has a clean silhouette and a minimalist design minus any frippery. The word 'Unpretentious' would describe it the best. A chunky front bumper, a dashing front grille and a bold 'S' badge are among the new design cues on the front fascia.

The Alto is equipped with ample interior comforts; a super cool A.C., electronic power steering, and convenient cup holders among them. It also offers fabric seats, a moulded carpet, a luggage compartment carpet, cabin lamp, an electronic tripmeter, a floor front console with cup holders, a floor rear console, a glove box and front door pockets. It has an ultimate combination of luxury & comfort.

Its interiors are noticeably cramped in comparison to those of the Zen. Headroom is ample though passengers in the rear may be hard pressed for legroom. Seats are comfortable enough.The dashboard is strictly utilitarian with an easy access to navigate large instrument cluster, besides a number of little niches and storage pockets. Cargo space is plentiful too. The décor, despite being uninspiring, is hugely practical; it works.

The Alto's standard safety features include side impact door beams, a child safety lock, clear lens headlamps, rear caps, a collapsible steering column, a high rigid monocoque frame made of high tensile steel, front and rear seat belts, booster assisted brakes and rear seat head restraints.

The Alto is equipped with a 796cc engine that serves up 46 bhp worth of power and 62 Nm of torque. A 5-speed, all synchromesh, manual transmission is standard in the Alto. The front suspension has a McPherson Strut with torsion type roll control device, while the rear sports coil spring gas-filled shock absorbers with three link rigid axle and isolated trailing arms.

The ride quality is pleasant and comfortable but handling does not exactly measure up. Steering is spongy at times. A stiff suspension soaks up bumps like a pro. Brakes are hugely responsive too. A stiff chassis gives the Alto its fabulous driving character.

The Alto is Maruti Udyog's subcompact offering to India and the country's one of the most popular cars in the small car segment. It Cardekho, Maruti Alto, Alto, Maruti Suzuki Alto is exported to numerous Southeast Asian countries (including Sri Lanka and Bangladesh) and Chile.

The Alto is currently available in three variants: Maruti Alto Standard, Maruti Alto LX and Maruti Alto LXi. It borrows from Maruti 800's tried and tested engine technology, therefore delivering optimal performance.

The Alto, with its compact dimensions and sturdy built, is just right for the Indian roads. Besides, it needs minimal maintenance and is extremely fuel efficient, making it just the perfect car for the average Indian working class. In addition to this, Maruti's wide service network and the lure of this little car is perfectly understandable (especially at its price).

The Alto has received a couple of minor upgrades on the interior as well as a new sporty looking grille and a much more substantial bumper. It has also received two new colors, Caribbean Blue and Wine Red.

The Panasonic Lumix Dmc-fz18 Digital Camera Features and Information

The obvious attraction of the Panasonic DMC FZ18 is its 18x optical zoom . This is one of the first digital cameras to increase the length on a consumer digital camera beyond 12 xs. The is supported by image stabilization to help cut down on any camera shake caused by the added weight of the . The DMC FZ18 also hosts a number of manual controls and settings and is based on the lines of a digital SLR camera. In fact it is one of the most feature packed cameras you can buy. It has 8 megapixels.

The FZ18 is the successor to the FZ8. The biggest change in the guts of the camera is the more powerful zoom lens. The FZ8 had a 12x optical zoom and the FZ18 gets an 18x optical zoom. Besides that, there is a small resolution bump to 8 megapixels from 7.1 megapixels, and the 2.5 inch LCD is of higher resolution on the FZ18. Software-wise, Panasonic has introduced their Intelligent Auto mode on the FZ18, which essentially bundles face recognition, continuous AF, Intelligent ISO control, and image stabilization on one easy to use auto mode.

Panasonic has been a key player in the super-zoom field since the launch of its impressive Leica-lenses Lumix DMC-FZ1 back in 2002, and has maintained this position with a series of well-received models in the same series. Today I'm taking a look at the latest in the line, the FZ18, which offers a tempting specification for anyone with £300 to spend. It has an 8.1 megapixel CCD, 2.5in 230k LCD monitor, RAW mode shooting and a massive 18x Leica zoom lens with optical image stabilization and a 28-504mm equivalent focal length range.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 is shaped like an SLR, but is more compact. The hand grip is coated with textured rubber that almost feels silky. At the top of the rubber panel is a shallow divot wide enough for the index finger to comfortably wrap around the front of the camera. At the tip of the hand grip, the zoom ring that surrounds the shutter button is visible. To the right of the shutter release and protruding portion of the hand grip is a small Panasonic DMC-FZ18 label.

The back of the FZ18 also looks very similar to the FZ8. Both cameras have a 2.5-inch LCD screen on the left that is on a platform that is raised from the body by a few millimeters. To the right of the LCD is about 1.5 inches of space occupied by the same buttons as the FZ8. To the upper right of the LCD is a tiny joystick. The left side looks identical to the FZ8 with the exception of the lens’ specs of course. The older model has a 12x optical zoom lens and the Panasonic FZ18 has an 18x optical zoom lens, although the cameras are about the same size.

The right side of the camera looks familiar. It is also nearly identical to the FZ8. The only difference is the addition of a thumb grip on the back of the camera that is visible on this side of the FZ18. In front of that thumb grip is a chrome eyelet for the neck strap, and the rubber hand grip surface in front of that. Two chrome neck strap eyelets flank the top of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18, which is oddly shaped. The lens barrel looks enormous when viewed from above. The flash component sits atop it. The viewfinder juts out from the flash component. Directly right of the viewfinder is the round mode dial. It has many more positions than the FZ8 including custom and several scene modes. The bottom of the camera is quite thick. There is a metal tripod socket that is slightly off-center of the lens, which could make it tough to mount. Below the hand grip is a plastic friction grip door that covers the battery and memory card slots

Features:-

* 18x optical zoom (28-504mm equiv.) - FZ8 has 12x (36-432mm) zoom

* Smaller maximum aperture at long end of zoom (F4.2 vs F3.1)

* 8.3 megapixel sensor (vs 7.2 megapixel)

* Face Detection

* Intelligent Auto mode

* Manually selectable ISO 1600

* ISO 6400 High Sensitivity mode

* AF/AE lock button and dedicated AF/MF button

* 1cm macro (was 5cm)

* Custom mode and extra scene modes (plus 'advanced scene modes')

* Five level Noise reduction (was three level)

* Slower continuous shooting (burst)

* Heavier and slightly larger

Information About Samsung Sgh-g800 Review

Slide the lid section upwards and the flat number pad is revealed. This is large, and easy enough to use. Opened, the phone is a generous 135mm tall. Closed, it is 101.5mm tall and either way it's 52mm wide. As for thickness, Samsung lists that at 18.8mm, but that doesn't include the back-mounted camera lens cover which protrudes from the main body of the phone. Include the cover and by my reckoning the G800 measures in at a substantial 22mm thick. Weight-wise you are looking at 129g.

It might be big and heavy, but the design is stylish with a brushed metal finish. The front of the handset is dominated by 2.4-inch 262K colour 320 x 240 pixel QVGA display that is crisp and clear with a d-pad and call buttons situated at the bottom underneath this.

Samsung has already hit the five-megapixel cameraphone mark in Europe with its stylish G600 - reviewed here. The G600 squeezed its camera into a standard frame, but the G800 has been built from the ground up with the camera as the key element of the phone. That said, it’s also equipped with the latest 3G HSDPA connectivity, meaning maximum download and surfing speeds of up to 7.2Mb/s if your mobile network operator supports it.

Design

For a company that's renowned for making slim phones such as the U700, the G800 is far from ultra thin. It's about the same size as the Nokia N95 and weighs a not-so-pocket-friendly 129g. Looking past its chunkiness, this is an attractive handset with a glossy finish similar to the LG Shine and a reassuring solid casing made up of metal and plastic.

While the bulk-factor hasn’t stopped the N95 hitting the bestseller list, the G800 doesn’t have quite the same heavyweight specs – such as built-in GPS and dedicated music controls - even if it does have that optical zoom edge.

Features

In terms of features, the Samsung G800 really takes Samsung's camera phone portfolio to a new level. Combining a 5-megapixel sensor, Xenon flash, autofocus, LED focus-assist light, 3x optical (inner) zoom, image stabilization (digital) and red-eye reduction, it's impressively close on paper to a standalone digital camera.

The design combines the looks of a sharp mobile and a digital camera. It has a large 2.4in, 320 x 240, 262,144-colour display up front with a black and chrome surrounding, while the back sports a smart brushed metal-style finish on plastic…Making calls, the G800 put in a commendably fine, consistent performance, with clear, top-class sound quality at both ends throughout calls
