Review Minolta Freedom Supreme 35mm Camera / Konica Minolta Zoom Supreme EX:Konica Minolta intends to be a company that constantly brings new surprises to customers, through its unique and innovative products and services, by mobilizing its broad technological capabilities in the field of imaging. The compact Minolta Freedom Supreme provides a powerful 3. 2x retractable zoom lens. It uses a highly sophisticated autofocus system with up to 780 focusing steps-a feature usually found only in higher-end single-lens reflex cameras. The camera body is designed to form a distinctive capsule and is covered with a high-gloss silver tone for a high-quality appearance and durability. A rubber patch is positioned on the grip for comfortable handling. The design of this camera and its multiple automatic features make it easy to use for the amateur who wants the high-quality pictures of a professional. The 39-125mm zoom lens offers a wide angle of view and is ideal for scenic landscapes or groups of people as well as distant subjects or portraits. The four-element lens design with four aspherical surfaces minimizes optical aberrations and provides high-contrast images. The Freedom Supreme's metering system is linked optically to the viewfinder so that at any focal length the camera meters the same image that the photographer sees. [+]
The Freedom Supreme has standard point-and-shoot capabilities but also offers close-up, portrait, and night portrait options. The lens fixes focusing for subject magnification so you have optimum sharpness for close-ups. The camera also automatically sets a soft flash for close-ups to prevent overexposed pictures. When you press the shutter-release button partway down in portrait mode, the lens automatically zooms to provide 1/40x magnification. If you are fond of sunset shots or lighted night scenes, you can set the camera flash to manual fill with optional red-eye reduction. A 10-second self-timer allows the photographer to appear in the photos. If you want to catch the action of a sporting event or a quickly moving subject, the Freedom Supreme offers continuous film advance-one frame every two seconds-for as long as the shutter-release button is held down. Its date/time imprinting option is useful for cataloging or keeping records of special events such as weddings, birthdays, or graduations. |

- 0.33-inch B/W interline-transfer CCD image sensor
- High resolution of 420 TVL and 512 x 492 picture elements
- Attractive, tamper-resistant aluminum housing
- Minimum illumination of 0.01 lux for extremely low-light conditions
- Model: Lorex CVC-6990 B/W Submersible Camera
Review Lorex CVC-6990 B/W Submersible Camera / LOREX CVC6990 Submersible Camera:Marketing description is not available. The Lorex CVC-6990 B/W Submersible Camera is a high-quality and reliable camera designed for use in virtually any environment. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, this unit is constructed with a completely waterproof aluminum housing that has an IP68 protection rating. With a high-sensitivity to light and a high resolution, the Lorex CVC-6990 is perfect for security surveillance, or any other situation requiring 24-hour monitoring, in areas that are openly exposed to extremely inclement weather or at times are even under water. This camera utilizes a 0. 33-inch black-and-white Sony CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor, with up to 512 by 492 effective pixels. Built with a 3. 6-millimeter fixed lens, the CVC-6990 has a high resolution of 420 horizontal TVL (TV lines), and is extremely light sensitive with a minimum illumination of 0. 01. The IP68 (Ingress Protection) rating means this unit has a protection level of six against solid-body ingress, and a protection level of eight against the ingress of water. [+]
Six is the top protection level against solid bodies, meaning the CVC-6990 is certified dust proof. Eight is the top protection level against water, meaning this unit will protect your camera for long periods of immersion under pressure. The CVC-6990 features a built-in electronic auto-iris for automatic light compensation, and has a shutter speed ranging from 1/60 to 1/100,000 of a second. This unit runs on 12-volt DC power, and has an operating temperature of five- to 131-degrees Fahrenheit. Technical Features: Sensitivity: minimum illumination of 0. 01 Lux Effective pixels: up to 512 x 492 Protection rating: IP68 Horizontal resolution: 420 TVL Dimensions: approximately 1-inch diameter x 4. 75-inch depth Designed for use under trying circumstances, the Lorex CVC-6990 camera deserves serious consideration as a great addition to any surveillance system subjected to extreme environmental conditions. Quick and easy to install with a standard BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman, RF-type) to RCA video output connector, this Lorex camera comes completely assembled and ready to use and is dependable even in low-light conditions. User's should note that the CCD sensor may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light, so the camera should not be mounted or pointed directly at the sun or other bright-light sources. Also, while IP68 certified, this camera was not intended for use in salt water or water with chemicals, such as the ocean or a swimming pool. About Surveillance Camera Technical Features Lux rating is the measurement used to indicate how sensitive a camera is to light, and stands for the level of light reflected off a piece of paper by a candle from one meter away. Thus a sensitivity of three Lux would mean a camera could generate an acceptable picture of a piece-of-paper-sized object that was illuminated by the equivalent of three candles from one meter away. The lower the Lux level, the better the camera's ability to work in low-light conditions. The camera's resolution should be greater than or equal to the resolution supported by the system's recorder or monitor. The S/N, or signal to noise ratio, is an important measure of a camera's quality. A poor camera, low-light conditions or poor wiring causes "noise" which consumes processing power and disk space. A camera with a wide dynamic range is ideal, especially for recording areas in which both indoor and outdoor light are present. CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors provide high-quality images that are less susceptible to noise. CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors offer less image quality, but are usually more cost-effective and energy efficient. About Surveillance Camera Housings Most video surveillance systems can be deployed for outside use when a proper camera housing is used. Key features for housings are a blower/fan to keep the camera cool in the summer, and a heater for the cold-weather months and to keep the glass from fogging up. Most housings can accept many types of security cameras. An outdoor dome housing is used for external mounting when tamper resistance or pan/tilt functionality is desired. What's in the Box CVC-6990 camera, power supply, 100-foot extension cable, mounting bracket, and RCA/BNC connector. |

- Model: Pentax ZX-7 Quartz Date 35mm SLR Camera Kit with 35-80mm Lens
Review Pentax ZX-7 Quartz Date 35mm SLR Camera Kit with 35-80mm Lens / Pentax ZX-7:Featuring the innovative "Auto Picture Mode," the Pentax ZX-7 is so smart that it completely frees you from complicated exposure control! It will automatically select one of five Picture Modes: landscape, close-up, action, portrait or standard program based on your subjects' distance, lens focal length and movement, and tells you about its decision via the illuminated mode dial and the viewfinder indication. Pentax's new ZX-7 offers compact size, solid performance, ease of use, and impressive capability. The ZX-7 offers the photographer both auto and manual focus. The camera has three autofocus (AF) points for sensing the subject and will automatically switch to predictive AF mode if it detects subject movement. The AF system is focus priority, so the shutter is locked until the camera focuses on something, virtually guaranteeing that you won't shoot a picture that isn't focused. If you prefer to use the manual focus setting, the AF status light will glow when you have achieved correct focus. The built-in flash uses spotbeam technology, which assists the AF system when focusing in dim-light situations. The system is capable of assisting the AF down to light levels of the current standard for assist technology. The ZX-7 also offers a snap-in mode, which only functions with non-AF lenses. The camera will fire when your subject enters the range you have chosen and is in focus. [+]
This feature is perfect for an action subject, such as horse racing. You can choose a proper background and take the picture when your subject passes a specific point. The Pentax ZX-7 comes with a built-in TTL exposure meter that breaks the image into six zones. Linked to the AF system, ISO settings range from 25 to 5,000 and are set automatically via DX coding. Manually, you can set ISOs from 6 to 6,400. In addition to auto mode, the ZX-7 offers the photographer programmable AE, portrait, landscape, action, close-up, and night modes. The built-in TTL flash unit covers a field of view equal to a 28mm lens and is capable of daylight sync, slow sync, and red-eye reduction. Maximum flash sync is 1/100 second. The camera allows for shutter speeds from 30 to 1/2,000 seconds. The built-in motor drive is capable of up to two frames per second and has a self-timer with 12-second delay. Quartz dating allows you to document your photographic memories. The Pentax ZX-7 is a solid camera with a full load of advanced automatic features for those individuals making the transition from point-and-shoot to 35mm SLR technology. |
