Kodak LS743

I bought this camera in 2004, i forget which month. But i really like this camera, small but strong. The LS743 is extremely elegant, completely metal clad, and fitted with little LEDs that blink while the camera is powered on and turn on during some operations.The LS743 is a very compact and well-crafted camera that has few protuberances aside from its 2.8X zoom that extends 2 cm (0.8 inch) when the camera is powered on.

There are few external controls on the LS743. The top of the camera supports, starting from the left, the power switch which lights up blue when the camera is turned on. To its left, two thin slits cover the LS743's speaker.

All the other controls of the LS743 are on the back, arranged on either side of the 1.8 inch 134,000 pixel LCD monitor.The 4-way controller is on the right of the monitor, and a water drop shaped zoom control is fitted around it. And, unlike many other digital cameras, the zoom control has no other function besides controlling the optical zoom. The 4-way button serves to navigate menus and confirm selections when pressed in at the centre.

I use this camera in early competition on first year (please see). I didn't sell this camera, someone in my family still using it. And until today still work and make many good quality pictures.

Kodak EasyShare V610

I bought Kodak EasyShare V610, because i was amazed with the 10x zoom and blue tooth technology. Yes, you can take pictures and send it with blue tooth to computer, laptop or mobile phone that have a blue tooth device. And it's small, you can keep in your pocket. When you send the photo via blue tooth there are 3 size to choose. But the better quality have bigger Mb.

Announced in April 2006, the EasyShare V610 is Kodak's 'Dual Lens' model, using two lenses (and two CCD sensors) to give an extended zoom range without adding to the bulk of the camera. In the case of the V610 the lenses cover 38-114mm and 130-380mm respectively, giving a total 10x optical range (albeit one with a little gap in the middle), and earning it the 'World’s Smallest 10X Optical Zoom Digital Camera' title. The sleek, all-metal V610 also boasts a large 2.8-inch color screen, Blue Tooth, 18 scene modes and in-camera image corrections.

But can the V610's performance match its impressive design? Let's find out... starting as ever with the headline features and specifications.

38-380mm equivalent optical zoom range
2.8-inch, 230,000 pixel screen

OLYMPUS E-500

This is the first digital SLR camera that i own and i still use this camera untill today. When i bought E500 in september 2006, i got 2 lenses kit :

Zuiko 14-45mm F3.5-5.6

Zuiko 40-150mm F3.5-4.5

And i buy Zuiko Digital ED 35mm F3.5 Macro and Electronic Flash FL-36

The Olympus E-500 is a full-featured, 8-megapixel digital SLR camera that was designed to be used easily by photographers of any skill level. The E-500 is compact (approx. 5 x 3.7 x 2.6 inches), lightweight (15.3 oz.), durable and packed with Olympus innovations like an exclusive Dust Reduction System for spot-free photos, a TruePic TURBO Image Processor for fast response time, and a large 2.5-inch HyperCrystal LCD. Compatible with a wide range of Olympus Zuiko Digital Specific Lenses, the E-500 delivers the versatility and power that are the hallmarks of a performance SLR, but at an affordable price.

You can see all picture that taken by me, almost all using these tools. In my experiences, using E-500 in outdoor with auto or manual mode, you will have a very good quality photos. Good saturation and brightness. But for indoor photos, you will need the electronic flash. Because if you using ISO 800 and above, will have a serious noise.

Untill today i satisfy with E-500 performance and will using this camera for years untill i need camera with bigger megapixel and low noise in high ISO.
