Some cool compact digital camera reviews images:
The question is whether I’m gonna get sopping wet if I close up my umbrella before I get down into the subway…
Image by Ed Yourdon
This woman was standing near the entrance to the downtown express IRT subway station, at the southwest corner of Broadway and 96th Street.
Note: this photo was published in an undated (late Oct 2010) Digital Camera Products Review blog, with the same title and detailed notes that I had written on this Flickr page.
**************************************
Months from now, if people stumble onto this set of Flickr photos, they won’t know or care when the photos were actually taken. After all, rain is a fairly universal phenomenon, and it can happen in any of the four seasons of the year.
Still, it’s an odd experience to be writing these notes a week after the photographs were taken — at an altitude of 35,000 feet, on a flight to Miami that lifted off from JFK airport just as the first snow flurries hit the runway at the beginning of what promises to be the first major snowfall of the 2009 season. Twelve inches of snow are expected by the time the storm stops, which makes this collection of water-soaked individuals seem like they got stuck in the wrong place and the wrong time.
But a week ago, the temperature was about ten degrees warmer — and what could easily have been a foot or two of snow was instead just a couple of inches of cold rain. Rain, of course, brings out the umbrellas; and on a couple of earlier occasions this year (which you can see here and here on Flickr), I began to see that — notwithstanding the typical stories about New York fashions — people were not restricting themselves to black raincoats and black umbrellas. My winter coat (courtesy of North Face) is black, and just about every umbrella I’ve ever owned has been black; my suitcases are black, my backpacks and briefcases have always been black, and even my camera bag is black. Since it’s promising to be a cold winter, I just bought a new pair of gloves and a new woolen cap … in black.
But that’s apparently not true for many other New Yorkers. While you’ll see a few black outfits in the photos collected here, the range of vivid colors continues to surprise me. Somehow, it’s something you would expect to see at the beginning of the spring season — signifying the rejection of the dark gloom of clouds and rain, and celebrating the imminent arrival of flowers and blossoms, of emerald-colored trees and thick green grass and the chirping of birds. But this collection of photos was taken in mid-December, only a week before the official beginning of winter. You’d think that people would be carrying black umbrellas and somber raincoats that marked the season of death and darkness, but I guess that’s just not the way things are here in New York City.
On the previous occasions when I’ve photographed umbrellas in the rain, I’ve deliberately used a "pocket camera," albeit a fairly sophisticated one such as the Canon G-10. I wanted something that would be compact enough that I could stick into my jacket pocket if the rain got heavy, and I didn’t want to risk damaging the electronic components a really expensive, sophisticated camera by getting it wet. The results were usually fairly good, but I always wondered if I could do a better job with one of my high-end DSLR cameras…
… so that’s what I used for this collection of photos: my Nikon D700 camera, with a big, heavy 70-300mm zoom lens. I attached a lens hood to the lens, to minimize the chances of raindrops falling directly onto the lens itself; and I stood beneath the awning and overhang of various storefronts and buildings along Broadway as the rain poured down steadily all around me. Next time, I might be even more adventurous, since I’ve got a professional waterproof bag-thingy that should keep the camera dry even if I’m standing out in the middle of a torrential downpour. But for now, this was a good start.
Because of the rain, most of the people I photographed paid no attention to me at all; they were too busy concentrating on where they were walking, where the puddles were deepest, and whose umbrellas were about to poke them in the face. On the rare occasions when they did see a crazy guy standing under an awning, pointing a camera in their general direction, they frowned or gave me a quizzical look, and just kept going…
So that’s the way it was, on this rainy Sunday afternoon. At this point, I’m going to assume that winter has officially arrived, and that the precipitation during the next few months will take the form of snow, not rain. I don’t know how well it will turn out, but one of my future projects will be a series of photos during a blizzard. Stay tuned … and in the meantime, stay dry.
Olympus XA
Image by Arty Smokes (deaf mute)
For my money (which is not a lot), this is the greatest compact street-shooter ever made. The Olympus XA was the world’s smallest 35mm rangefinder when first retailed in May 1979, but in reducing the size Maitani and his team at Olympus didn’t cut down on features.
Using a revolutionary design, they somehow crammed six glass elements into a camera not much bigger than a cigarette packet. Not only that, but the camera has aperture priority (shutter speed is automatic) and can shoot as wide as f/2.8.
To call this the "poor man’s lomo" does it a huge disservice. This is a poor man’s Leica or Contax!
I can’t improve on the full review at Diaxa, so go there for more specifications.
This particular example needs cleaning up, but is fully functional. The rangefinder circle (a blob in the middle of the viewfinder) is very faint due to age, but I’d tend to use the distance meter (or leave it on 3m) for candid street shots. What I love most about this camera is the price I paid for it. It was literally hidden under a pile of "old cameras" on Ebay. I snapped up the job lot of 16 cameras for 15 quid, so I effectively got this XA for less than a pound. Usual prices range from £15-100.

Question by Jon: What is the best compact digital camera for around £200 (0)?
I’ve read lots and lots of reviews but can’t seem to find any agreement among reviewers on the sites I’ve looked at. I’m looking for a compact camera with a fairly powerful zoom (6x at least) that is versatile (can take good pictures in low light and extreme close up as well as normal daylight conditions) I’m not looking for a DSLR. Can anyone recommend a camera for me? Thanks!

Since you didn’t mention the brands you’ve been looking at, I’d be certain to take a long look at either Nikon or Canon models within your range.

Question by Adham: What is the best compact digital camera to use at live music concerts and gigs?
Hello,
Looking for help with a decision on purchasing a new compact camera.
I’m a rock concert promoter / organizer and avid live music fan and am always keen to try and capture great moments at different shows. Even though the live band shots are my main priority, I also want an everyday camera that can fit into my jeans or jacket pocket for other occasions, hence the compact requirement.
My photography skill level is between beginner and intermediate. I am always finding tips on taking good shots and have tried to applied them. This has led me to gain little experience dealing with manual options on cameras, but always trying to change settings to try to get the best picture I can.
The main requirement I have in a camera is to be able to take good quality shots of live rock bands from two perspectives:
a) From within the crowd at a large festival
b) Right by the band in a small bar / pub
Other Requirements are fairly basic:
1. Image Stabilizer – Considering how difficult it is to keep my hands steady while in a crowd of thousands.
2. Optical Zoom of 5x, 6x, or higher – To be able to get as reasonably close a shot as I can.
3. Minimum Mega Pixels = 8MP – For Quality Purposes.
4. Decent Shot to Shot Time – To quickly take shots continuously
5. Decent Battery Life – As I will be away for long periods of time from an outlet to recharge. If necessary of course.
Now I am aware of the difficulties of taking shots of live bands as I have been doing so with compact cameras for a while now; mainly issues with lighting. Also aware of the limited capabilities with compact cameras. However, most of the photos are for personal use rather than professional. Still, it would be great to be able to have high end shots close to, if possible, professional level.
I’ve been doing research for a while and keep coming back to the Canon PowerShot A720 IS as a prime candidate. But some reviews mention that it is poor in low light scenarios (does this apply to nighttime outdoor festivals?) and has a slow Shot-to-Shot time. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100 is my second choice at the moment. The Canon G9 seems like a good choice but I’m anxious that the price of the camera is beyond my skill level.
Any help or tips are much appreciated. Hope to make a final decision soon as I am set travel in a few days.
Thanks.

Answer by Cat Lover
Assuming that you have permission to take these pictures, I’ve read that there is no compact digital that will do what you want it to do. They are not capable of taking good pics in low light.
In order to take good photos at concerts, you really need a DSLR, and the cheapest one of those would be a little less then $ 500. But then you would need a long lens to take the shots from the audience. Save your money awhile longer and get a DSLR, or buy a compact now and be disappointed. Sorry.
Most concerts do not allow DSLRs either, so if you try to take one of those in, it would be taken away from you, and you might not see it again. Unless you had a press pass, of course. They just do not want people taking good photos!

This camera (review) reminds me sooo much of the Nikon 35TI that use to be my ultimate dream compact camera in pre-digital days.
When you turn it on, the little dials quickly spin up to max – then slowly back down to represent their current status level.
Don’t know how good the pictures are, but I want one for this detail alone.
Ahhhhhnalogue.

I’m loving my new little Fuji F30 — for a compact digital camera it takes amazing low-light photos. These were on a moving boat, taken point-and-shoot without a tripod or flash. This was at maybe 11 pm, just ambient light.
ISO up to 3200! (ISO = measure of film speed.. and light sensitivity)
