Canon EOS 1000D
Price : Rp.5.200.000 (US $520.00) Kiss F KIT 18-55 IS (Official Warranty)

Highlight

10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor
A 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor captures enough detail to make A4-size prints, even when cropping your image. Canon’s CMOS sensor technology also ensures crisp, sharp images even in low-light conditions.

Up to 3 frames per second
For dramatic mid-action shots, the EOS 1000D allows continuous shooting of large JPEG images at speeds of up to 3 frames per second, until the memory card is full. With a 2GB card, this lets you shoot up to 514 images without a pause.

7-point wide-area AF
A wide-area Auto Focus system uses 7 separate focusing points to lock onto subjects fast. The central focus point enables focusing even under low-light or low-contrast conditions.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Canon’s built-in dust prevention system guards images against the effects of dust in three ways: reducing dust generated inside the camera, shaking dust from the sensor each time the camera is turned on or off, and mapping stubborn dust spots for removal with the provided Digital Photo Professional software.

2.5" LCD with Live View mode and Large viewfinder
In Live View mode, use the bright 2.5” LCD to frame and take shots from awkward angles. During playback, the LCD provides detailed review of shots, and features a wide viewing angle for easy sharing with friends. A large, bright viewfinder allows framing of subjects even in the brightest conditions.

DIGIC III processing
Canon’s cutting-edge DIGIC III processor – as used in professional EOS models - delivers rapid operation, accurate colour reproduction, fast start-up times, and low power consumption.

SD/SDHC memory card compatible
Shooting to the popular SD/SDHC memory card formats, the EOS 1000D is ideal for those who already own SD-compatible devices.

Total image control
Take control over the look and feel of your images with easy to use Picture Style presets. Contrast, sharpness and saturation can be customized in-camera or with Canon’s comprehensive software suite, supplied with the EOS 1000D.

Compact, ultra-lightweight body
The smallest and lightest Digital EOS model yet, the EOS 1000D weighs just 450g - and is ergonomically designed for comfortable handling.

EF lenses and accessories
The EOS 1000D is compatible with the complete range of EF/EF-S lenses, Speedlite EX flash units and EOS system accessories.


Weakness

  • Continuous shooting speed when capturing the higher quality raw images.

PENTAX-developed body-based Shake Reduction
With body-based Shake Reduction, the PENTAX SLR system will stabilize your shots, providing maximum flexibility with no compromise in optical quality. It increases your handheld shooting shutter speed range by 2.5 to 4 stops for blur-free pictures, and is compatible with every PENTAX lens ever produced.

Dustproof, weather-resistant body
The PENTAX K200D body has 60 seals to reliably protect the inner components against humidity, moisture and dust particles. Add the durability of a fiber-reinforced polycarbonate body and a stainless-steel chassis, and you can keep shooting even in harsh conditions.

Auto Picture, Scene and Sv Modes
Expect the right exposures with the settings you want. Auto Picture mode automatically calculates photographic factors to pick the best picture mode. The Scene modes offer a selection of eight modes specialized for alternate conditions. Plus, Sensitivity-Priority AE (Sv) mode is designed to automatically select the optimum combination of aperture and shutter speed for a user-selected sensitivity.

2.7 inch LCD monitor
A 2.7 inch high-resolution, wide-view LCD monitor with a 160 degree field of view of your subject in 230,000 dots allows for more precise playback.

Pentax Real IMage Engine (PRIME)
The PRIME image processing engine maximizes image properties and allows custom adjustment of image parameters, such as truer color tones, a wider dynamic range, and natural-looking high ISO images.

Increased control with Expanded Dynamic Range
Enhanced Dynamic Range mode gives 200% more dynamic range, which brings out detail in the highlighted portions of your image while maintaining detail in darker areas.

Dust Alert function
Dust Reduction and Dust Alert features eliminate the need for time-consuming retouching by sealing against dust and determining if and where any dust remains after the system is activated.

Full backward lens compatibility
PENTAX has manufactured over 25 million lenses in the last six decades; all DSLR bodies offer backward compatibility with every one.* Whichever lens is used, whether the most recent lenses or a classic screwmount, it will faithfully capture the image desired.
*With adapter for screwmount and 645/67 lenses.

Image Capture
Advanced 16-segment metering and 11-point AF, with 9 cross sensors, ensure perfectly exposed and focused images, even in the most difficult lighting conditions.

Custom Image modes
Custom Image modes, with six preset options, offer superior control of how the PRIME processor develops images, and can be further modified to meet your needs. Get beautifully processed images in any shooting condition.

Advanced White Balance
In addition to a wide range of preset white balance options, take advantage of full manual control. Every preset and manual white balance setting offers fine adjustment control, giving you powerful options to tune the white balance exactly as you need it.

Custom Functions
The K200D offers 23 custom functions with 52 individual settings, ensuring that you can fully customize the camera to suit your individual needs.

AA battery compatibility
Approximately 1,100 images can be taken when using AA size lithium batteries due to their energy-saving design. (Four Energizer lithium batteries are included with each camera.) Plus, AA power can be found anywhere in the world.

Weakness
Focus problem in low light(?)

Lumix® 8.1-Megapixel Digital Camera with 18x Optical Zoom, Intelligent Auto Technology, 28mm Wide-Angle LEICA Lens and 2.5" Diagonal LCD

Features


Big Zoom, Small Camera
Experience the power of an incredible 18x optical zoom in a 8.1-megapixel camera that fits in the palm of your hand. From vast landscapes to super telephoto shots, the DMC-FZ18 gives you crisp, stunning images using a 28mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens. For macro shots, the wide-angle setting lets you shoot all the way down to one centimeter from your subject, while the telephoto setting can be used up to one meter (3.28 feet) from your subject. With the Extended Optical Zoom function, zoom power is boosted to around 28.7x (in 3-megapixel resolution mode).

Intelligent Auto Technology Delivers Perfect Shots Every Time
Say good-bye to complicated settings. Just turn the dial to iA and the DMC-FZ18 will not only help eliminate blurring from hand-shake or subject movement, but it will also detect up to 15 faces and automatically select the focus, exposure and scene modes for the best results.

MEGA O.I.S. Prevents Blurring from Hand-Shake
Camera shake is the number one cause of blurry, out-of-focus pictures. That's why Panasonic Lumix digital cameras come equipped with advanced Optical Image Stabilization (MEGA O.I.S.) that detects even the tiniest camera movement, then automatically adjusts the lens to compensate. With MEGA O.I.S., you're ensured sharp, clear pictures every time without any loss of image detail or clarity.

Intelligent ISO Control Helps Prevent Motion Blur
Thanks to Intelligent ISO, Panasonic Lumix digital cameras capture crisp, clear images even when your subject moves as you shoot. Advanced subject-motion detection circuitry senses when your subject is moving and raises the camera's ISO sensitivity and shutter speed settings accordingly. This suppresses motion blur and also makes it easy to shoot scenes with fast moving action.

Face Detection for Blur-Free Portraits
The new Face Detection function automatically chooses the optimal settings to make sure faces appear well-lit and in focus. This advanced technology can detect up to 15 faces in a scene, and will even automatically readjust the settings if their positions change. In Intelligent Auto Mode, the camera automatically begins focusing even before you press the shutter button, so you'll never miss an opportunity for a great shot.

Scene Detection Chooses the Mode That Best Fits the Situation
With your Panasonic Lumix digital camera in Intelligent Auto Mode, the Intelligent Scene Selector will sense the ambient conditions and automatically select either the Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait or Night Scenery mode accordingly. With the camera choosing the settings for you, you'll get beautiful results every time you shoot, no matter what the scene or subject.

Strengths: Image quality,Cost factor,Big zoom,RAW mode,excellent interface, joystick access to most commonly needed functions, Uses SD/SDHC cards, Good build.

Weaknesses: Can not zoom while taking video, noise reduction induced problems in low light situations, Lens move in and out while zooming and retracts in when powered down, No focus ring, No flash shoe, No tilt LCD, Non standard thread size.

Basic tips to take pictures with DSLR camera

By Han on 8:56 AM

Key element in photography is light, without light, will not happen of a picture and in the capture of the DSLR camera is an important factor that must be considered, namely:

1. shutter speed
2. Aperture / diaphragm opening
3. iso / asa

These three factors above, the shutter speed + aperture + iso = expossure.

Expossure (lighting) = is the quantity of light allowed to enter, the intensity (set by opening the lens) and duration (governed by the shutter speed) the light coming in and the image sensor. High iso, need a bit of light to produce clear images. conversely, low-iso require a lot of light to produce clear images. * remember: the high iso images may cause the results arising noise that can reduce image quality.

Shutter speed (to shut = closed) = at the time we hit the button for taking pictures, going the opening so that light entered the lens and the image sensor. work shutter is opened and then closed again. Shutter speed is the speed of the shutter opened and closed again. Shutter speed can be set. If we choose 1 / 100, then it will open for 1 / 100 sec. Scale varies shutter speed.

There are B, 1, ½, ¼, 1 / 8, 1 / 15, 1 / 30, 1 / 60, 1 / 125, 1 / 250, 1 / 500, 1 / 1000, ff. ranging from ½ to 1 / 1000 usually just called the numbers below it, meaning 100 = 1 / 100 and 2 ½ seconds means. But if the number is 2-colored, it means 2 seconds, while B the mean is bulb , ie, if the button is pressed the shutter opens, and when the shutter release button to close, to remember is, the longer the shutter speed, the amount of light entering the more much. the greater the number, then the shutter speed will be higher (the faster the shutter open and closed).

Diaphragm or aperture (or often called exposure) = function to regulate the amount of light entering the volume, this function is usually in the back of the lens, consisting of 5-8, composed of metal plates and can open wider or narrower. Writing numbers diaphragm usually is f / 2, f/2.8, f / 4, f/5.6, f / 8, f/11, and f/16, and so on. The smaller the number the diaphragm, then the resulting openings will be widened so that the light coming in more and more. Tips:

1. Large opening = large diaphragm opening (small f number) is used to produce images with sharp subject with background blur.
2. Small opening = opening a small (large f number) will produce a sharp image from foreground to background. Small openings are usually used in landscape, needed detail and sharpness on the image.

iso = iso values in the digital photography states that the sensitivity of the sensors used in digital cameras. Use the lowest iso value for the best photo. If the shutter and diaphragm settings still can not get the right exposure (usually in low light conditions) then it could try to raise the value iso.
In addition to shooting at low light, use a high iso is well suited to prevent hand-shake blur effect (if the camera does not feature stabilizer) or for high-speed photography, because it allows the use of high iso. Raise the value of iso will make a side effect of noise on the image.
