Where to Get SLR Camera Repair Services


Image : http://www.flickr.com

If your expensive and latest-technology digital SLR camera gets broken, the obvious and first thing to do is to contact the manufacturer and bring the camera to the nearest branch. For example, if your Canon EOS gets broken and you’re residing in the US, you can send your camera to Canon USA. The phone numbers and other contact details for repair facility and services are usually found on company websites so getting contact information shouldn’t be that hard.

If you live in a far-flung place in a third world country with no known nearby offices of camera companies, you can still FedEx your camera to a repair center. Just make sure you include your credit card number so they can charge you for their services. Another option would be to send it directly to the importing company.

If you’re into vintage cameras and you have a 35mm camera and wouldn’t mind spending 200-300 bucks for repair services, you can send the camera back to Pentax or Nikon or any trusted camera manufacturer. Know, however, that there some manufacturers who don’t want to bother with models that are over 20 years old. These guys will simply tell you that there are no longer any parts available for your vintage camera model. If this is the case, you should go to specialized camera shops that are willing to revive your camera from scratch or improvise parts to make it work. I recommend the Professional Camera Repair shop located in New York City.

For those who own a Hasselblad, I recommend you get in touch with Gil Ghitelman and consider sending your camera to him. He’s the Hasselblad go-to person in my book because he hires his own Hasselblad repair person.

If you live in New England, you’ve probably heard of Steve Grimes – the only camera legend living in the area. He can help you out with all sorts of large format issues and problems with customize machining. He also does lens mounting, large format shutter repairs, etc. You can check out his website at skgrimes.com and contact him through 401-762-0857. I can’t run down all recommendable repair shops or go-to persons in every state, so your best bet would be to ask around and do your own research on where you can get quality SLR camera repair services in your state. If all else fails and you feel that your camera is beyond repair, there’s no other choice but to get a new one.

Affordable Family Portraits


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Before you know it the portrait can be costing in the high hundreds and the fun and the excitement of the whole project can be lost. A more affordable option is to try and do some of it yourself! More and more people now have good quality digital cameras which are capable of producing some great pictures. So why not get a friend to come round to use your camera (or borrow a camera) and to take the portrait of your family. It could be in your living room, grouped on the sofa, or if the weather allows it have the family sat together on the grass in the sunshine.

Next comes the clever part… people tend to forget how much printing and framing of photographs can cost, so to keep the costs down why not get your chosen family picture printed onto a canvas. If you have had the picture taken with a digital camera then using an online site providing canvas printing you can directly upload your digital file, choose your canvas size and pay!! Hey presto, family portrait completed and you just have to wait for it to be delivered. Some of the online canvas printing services also offer digital editing so if there are one or two blemishes on the digital image you can get these removed too, the perfect picture of the perfect family!

With canvas printing being a more affordable option you could have multiple prints made which could be used as great gifts for parents and grandparents, they will certainly make a very meaningful gift for a loved one.

Best Canon Digital Cameras For Family


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Buying the best digital camera for family use can be tricky. There are a lot of choices available in the market today and you have to know what specific features to look out for in order to get your money’s worth as well as your family’s nod of approval. Don’t fret, though, as you can never go wrong when you buy a Canon-made unit.

With budget and value for money in check, here are some of the best Canon digital cameras that you can purchase for family use:

Canon PowerShot A710 IS

The fact that it’s eye candy is just the icing on the cake. The A710′s superior 6x zoom, 7.1 megapixels, 2.5 inch LCD, autofocus and manual focus modes, 4x digital zoom and excellent glass lens make it a great buy. Everyone in your family will also love the Canon PowerShot A710 IS’ clean user interface, red eye reduction option and the fact that it only uses two AA batteries.

Canon PowerShot A640

This tasteful, 10 megapixel thing of beauty is a great investment. With a 2.5 inch LCD you can swivel, an easy-to-understand user interface, accurate viewfinder and good lens which can spur attractive color and the right skin tones, the Canon A640 is just what you need for family reunions.

Canon PowerShot A570 IS

If you’re looking for a camera that you can also use to take quick movie clips, the Canon PowerShot A570 is a steal. Its movie mode can deliver quality video and you can easily review that recently captured clip of your baby’s first steps. This 7.1 megapixel camera has a face detection focus mode, adjustable flash power and optical viewfinder. You can also customize the Print/Share button, giving you the upper hand on how to control your digital camera.

Canon PowerShot SD40 Digital ELPH

Don’t let the long name distract you. This one’s a favorite especially among families that have teenagers. The compact, 7 megapixel SD40 comes in 4 attractive colors — “Twilight Sepia”, “Precious Rose”, “Noble Blue” and “Olive Grey” — which will certainly appeal to the young ones. Features include the DIGIC III processor function, which means that less battery power is drained and shutter lag is reduced. It also uses the Face Detection technology so if you want to take portraits on a lazy Sunday, this camera will do the trick.

The Best SLR Cameras Under $1000


Image : http://www.flickr.com

You have probably been thinking about buying a digital SLR for a long time. The many choices and price ranges can make your head spin. I am going to help you pick out the best SLR cameras for under $1000.

There are really 3 major players in the digital SLR game for under $1000. Canon, Nikon, and Pentax. Some players are seasoned veterans, others are relative newcomers (but shouldn’t be discounted)

Canon SLR Camera

Canon has contenders… the EOS Rebel T1i, the EOS Rebel XS and the EOS Rebel XSi. We are going to focus on the T1i as I think it is the best under $1000. The other 2 are certainly great for the budget conscious, but offer less features.

Canon EOS Rebel T1i offers 15.1 mega-pixels (highest in the under $1000 crowd) and a great Creative Auto mode which teaches you how to take more manual control of your camera. There are also 60 lenses available that work with this camera and it shoots 1080p HD video.

Nikon SLR Camera

Nikon also has 3 contenders… the D5000, the D90 and the D3000. I like the D90, although the D5000 has a tilt and swivel LCD monitor which is a great feature if you’ve ever used one.

Nikon D90 offers 12.3 mega-pixels and 720p HD video. Nikons perform great in low light and indoor scenes. The best part is the integrated auto-focus motor… meaning you can use more Nikkor lenses and still have auto-focus.

Pentax SLR Camera

Pentax is a relative newcomer to the SLR scene, but user reviews are pushing its cameras to the top. Its top contenders are the K20D, the K200d and the K2000. Pentax is definitely a price conscious brand with tons of features. I like the D20D (cheaper than both the Canon and the Nikon fave).

Pentax K20D has 14.6 mega-pixels and is noted for its dust and weather resistant body. A rugged camera that is backward compatible with all Pentax lenses (some require adapters). But best performance comes their lenses designed for digital cameras. Lenses marked “WR” have additional protection against the weather as well.

So now you’ve got a good handle on the which digital camera to buy. Check out this article on SLR Camera Buying Tips. The only thing you have to decide is whether you want to bump up your price range to see what’s available in the $1000 to $2000 range. Happy shopping!
