If you've read my Casio Exilim S3 digital camera review then you'll know how much I really enjoyed the small slim factor and the amazingly large screen. I'm pretty sure that it caught on with lots of customers too because I've seen quite a number on the streets. Well, it must have been popular enough because it looks as if it caught the attention...

I'm sorry that theVooner has been on a mini-sabbatical of sorts. This review in particular is long overdue as I've had the camera for sometime now. But, don't blame me for lack of usage because I've really put this camera to the test - and its done really well. Your options for digital cameras today run the entire gamut of options. You have...

Ok, if you've been following my blog, you'll know the story - I was just cruising the malls when I ran into a Sony Exhibit and just couldn't resist buying a Sony DSC-U20 digital camera. Its cuteness appeal, lower price, and now with a "free case & gift" was just too much for theVooner. After several weeks of use, I have had time to...

After much deliberation, I finally got the Minolta F100 4-megapixel digital camera. As most of you know, my Sony DSC-S85, while taking amazing quality pictures, has started to bother me primarily because of its massive size which makes it not very travel-friendly (not to mention the peripherals that I had to additionally carry like the charger, USB cable, etc.). Compared to other digital cameras,...

Ok, so there I am in the heart of Japan, gadget central, and I just had to buy something. But what to get? I pretty much had everything that was out that I really wanted. The stores were of course full of gadgets. But the main items on display were the usual items - mobile phones (which unfortunately only work in Japan), minidisc players...

[A word about the pictures: I took these “creative” images using the DSC-S85. The camera pictures were done using a mirror and some Photoshop magic. They may appear “blurred” or out of focus, but I did this for the impact of the image. Also, there are weird angles, which are actual photographs taken with the use of several mirrors. For “real” images of the...

I'm a little obsessed with cameras. I have lots of them, in various shapes, formats and sizes. I remember sometime back, I used to have this old Polaroid Instant Camera. It was a fun thing to have. You can take quick shots of practically anything, and within 3 minutes, you'd have a picture. Neat. Unfortunately, the quality left a little to be desired. But...

I've had a few digital cameras, the last one being a 1.5 megapixel Fuji. I've been waiting for improvements in resolution AND storage before I bought a new one. The minute leaps in resolution from 1.5 megapixel to 2.1 megapixel were just not exciting enough to warrant me buying a new camera. Finally, we have moved into the 3.3 megapixel, and storage has increased...

Digital Photography has still not managed to live up to the quality and the proliferation of traditional photography (though that is slowly changing). I've always been a photo buff, so back when digital cameras were taking an abysmal 640x480 I was using my Nikon F5 and the difference was like night and day. Times have changed. First, I gave up the bulk of...
