Digital Cameras NZ Suppliers

Digital camera retailers and suppliers in New Zealand are advertising many camera models from several manufactures. The latest cameras have various advanced features, price ranges, and accessories to enhance photographing or image capture. Hence if you want to photograph your motel, it's surrounding premises, and interior room, then perhaps consider reviewing which camera would be suitable for capturing quality still images. Relevant and quality images can easily capture a client's attention and thoughts - as a picture can convey a hundred or thousand words as the saying goes.

Quality translates to appealing, so to attract potential clients if you display or upload a motel or hotel image on your website, accommodation directory, travels web sites, online booking agencies, Google images for search, photo storage site (e.g. Flickr or Picassa), stock photo site, review blogs and sites, and many other online avenues. Also printed media such as travel brochures, directories (e.g. the NZ AA accommodation guide), magazines, membership newsletters, etc are an important avenue for displaying and advertising a motels "image". But perhaps become familiar with operating a camera for maximum image capture, and also the features that today are becoming increasingly sophisticated....


Camera's Features

Resolution
Often mentioned as Mega Pixels, which relates to the clarity of a image's detail or sharpness. But also depends on optimum settings when photo capturing, the resulting print size and distance when viewing. Many NZ recently released "consumer" type camera's range from 10 to 14 MP. Though even 5 to 8MP or less may be sufficient in certain circumstances when taking photographs.

Optical Zoom
Perhaps capture a distance shot of the beach, ocean or bush surroundings near a motel or hotel? Then zoom features would be important - particularly optical zoom for clarity (rather than digital zoom). Current consumer advertised cameras may range from 3 x to 15 x optical zoom

Camera Flash Light
For semi to dark lighting, then the flash feature helps improve exposure. This could be "intelligent" auto flash exposure, a external flash or both for image capture. The important red eye reduction needs to be considered for image capture.

Memory Storage
The larger the memory then more photo's can be stored as data files either on camera, or removable memory cards. This can include compact flash cards, secure digital (SD), XD, MMC, Memory Stick, and others. Perhaps 128 MB or 256 MB would be ideal for saving images for later computer or laptop transfer.

Lens
Perhaps fixed preset, for focus at fixed lengths or auto focus lens, of which some camera's include a "wide" angle lens. This includes the DSLR (Digital Single Lens reflex) (and also SLR which have "burst mode" for motion capture) cameras for preview analysis in the viewfinder, including depth of field, and lens interchangeability.

Focus and Exposure
Often auto set focus, but can include manual focus, and can be determined by the ISO settings, a measure of required light for "quality" image capture.

LCD Screen
Most have this visible but important feature - for previews, viewing multiple images, for editing, zooming, deleting, and so on. Often 2.7" to 3.0" LCD screen size and some are "touch" mode for ease of navigation.

Additional Features
Their are other features, such as timer function for photo capture delay, accessories (e.g. tripods, photo editing software, USB flash drives or other connectivity apparatus to PC hardware, recommended batteries for longevity, etc) and also manual controls for the discerning photographer to set focus, shutter speed, aperture speed to adapt to the environment.

Brands
Many of the top brands, i.e. Sony, Panasonic, Canon, Casio, Kodak, and Olympus include advanced features. Some brands with their styles and features may be more suitable than others, depending on specific needs, including how you are going to utilize the images. For example...

* "EasyShare" Kodak - Cameras - offer simplicity to photograph.
* "Finepix" Fujifilm - Have point and shoot but also a range of other model types.
* "Exilim" Casio - Thin models, and can include premium zoom lens and speed for the "point and shoot" models.
* "Lumix" Panasonic - Cameras - Easy to use range of camera's to learn from.
"Cyber Shot" Cannon - Also for beginners to learn, and perhaps up to mid range photographers, and includes a range of models.

Many top brand camera's also list features which would be better understood by reading reviews, the accompanying instruction manual, and consulting the manufacture's web site. Such features can include built in wireless technology, DLNZ (Still and movie recording), "snow proof", shock proof, 28 mm wide angle lens, dual image stabilizer, "Live" control, IA Mode, "Face" detection, "Smart" auto, Integrated "cleaning" system, and much more. But for extensive photo shoots, it may be wise to hire a professional photographer or seek, or learn professional tips and advice.
