Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Available in black and silver from September, price should be US$ 299.

    We all love the quality and controls of DSLRs, full-featured cameras. But, we are also well aware of the downsides when it comes to carrying around all that weight: camera body, lenses, accessories. Yet, there’s no such thing as a super-featured compact camera but… here’s where SourceCrowd.com comes in!Meet the Samsung S1050 and Canon PowerShot A710 IS , two compact cameras with truly impressive features. They both sport a 35-190 mm zoom (in 35 mm equivalent format) and have the three magic letters sought after by all serios photoamateurs: M, S and A.
    This means that these tiny toys will allow for full manual exposure control, be it “M”anual, “A”perture priority or “S”peed priority -based.

    Both cameras will give you superior shake reduction through state-of-the-art controls.
    A few differences: the Samsung sports a 10 Megapixel CCD, the Canon has a 7.1 MP sensor. While the Samsung has (only) a huge 3″ LCD display, the Canon gives you an option that is getting harder and harder to find these days in the compact sector of the market: an eye-level viewfinder. In fact, lately only a few compact cameras still have an optical or even an electronic viewfinder, which is left off in favour of wider displays.
    Canon gets you up to 800 ISO whereas Samsung gets you even further to 1600 ISO.

    An additional kit is available from Opteka, the Canon PowerShot A710 A700 Professional HD² Digital Accessory Kit, offering telephoto and wide-angle additional conversion lenses, filter sets and portable tripod.

    If you are only interested in the wide end of the spectrum, then have a look at the Opteka .42x Wide Angle Panoramic Macro Fisheye Lens .

    In both cases, early users around the world are giving raving reviews to both cameras.

    Prices?

    US$ 279.99 for the Canon PowerShot A710 IS and US$ 230 for the Samsung S1050.
