What customers say about "Imaging"
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H300 Digital Compact Bridge Camera
- Picture quality very good.
- Excellent purchase. Really nice clean crisp images.
- Very happy with this camera. Good images taken.
- Super easy to use, great image quality, lots of presets.
- The optical image stability feature is fully automatic and there is no menu option to switch on or off.
Canon PowerShot SX430 IS Digital Compact Camera - Black
- The wide focal range also means that just about any shot can be framed and re-framed with the assistance of the rear LCD screen.
- With the massive focal range at our disposal the SX430 IS might be great for wildlife or sports photography.
- Despite the fact that this is a budget model, there are no problems with cropping and evaluation of image quality in the field.
- The lens reach here is so massive that, when attempting photography at the telephoto end of the zoom, the image relayed to the LCD screen tends to ‘dance’ about.
- There are two choices when it comes to image quality: Superfine and Fine and the ISO range is pretty limited – running from a manually selectable ISO100 to ISO1600.

- Depending on the lighting conditions, holding the INFO button can quickly change the brightness of the screen. This makes it easier to work with it.
- In bright sunshine, it’s quite convenient to take a photo, but the picture taken may seem darker than it actually is. With less bright lighting, such problems do not arise.
- You can easily view all the pictures taken, on the camera screen. It conveys clear and beautiful shots.
- Hard to see screen on sunny day, would prefer a viewfinder to take great pictures.
- Unfortunately, the lack of a viewfinder upsets, sometimes it is inconvenient to look at the display and take pictures.
