21 Sep 08 Nikon Named ‘The Official Camera of the Boston Red Sox’
World Leader in Photography to Partner With World Champions to Create Photo Friendly Fenway
MELVILLE, N.Y., April 25 — If you thought the 2004 Boston Red Sox run to the title was memorable, 2005 at Fenway Park should capture more memories than ever before. Nikon today announced that it has been named “The Official Camera of the Boston Red Sox,” as part of a multi-faceted sponsoring partnership. In addition to radio sponsorship on the Red Sox radio network WEEI 850 AM, and signage throughout historic Fenway Park and the photographers’ wells, Nikon digital photography will make a tremendous impact at the country’s oldest professional baseball stadium.
“Nikon is proud to partner with the World Champions of baseball, the Boston Red Sox,” said Anna Marie Bakker, general manager of Communications for Nikon Inc, based in Melville, NY. “After a season of amazing memories, Nikon is excited to serve as the team’s official camera, as thousands of new memories will be captured this season with Nikon cameras throughout Fenway Park.”
Nikon has become the title sponsor of FanFoto — a unique service that allows eight FanFoto photographers outfitted in brightly colored Nikon-branded uniforms to take pictures of fans in the stadium and concourses. A New England icon for more than 104 years, the hallowed grounds of Fenway Park present a number of amazing photo opportunities, and Nikon will make sure that the charm and nostalgia from the Green Monster to Pesky’s Pole are captured for generations to come with FanFoto. Photographed fans will receive a Nikon ticket with the game date, URL and gallery number for online reference. The Red Sox are expanding the service to be offered at pre-game parties, luxury suites and VIP events.
As part of Nikon’s ongoing commitment to serve the professional photographers who provide a tremendous service to the baseball community and sports fans everywhere, Nikon will also create The Nikon Darkroom at a location in Fenway Park. The Nikon Darkroom will serve as a ‘locker room’ for all the professional photographers shooting at home games. Working photographers can utilize the Nikon Darkroom to store the equipment they’re not using, download photos, or even as a location to work or rest on game day. Nikon will also host a professional photographer’s luncheon at Fenway Park on June 1, 2005. The event will offer professional shooters an opportunity to try the latest Nikon offerings, and even have their own equipment cleaned and repaired.
“We are thrilled that Nikon has joined our family of corporate partners,” said Sam Kennedy, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing for the Boston Red Sox. “In addition to tremendous exposure inside Fenway Park with a new centerfield sign and signage on the photo well railings, we have partnered with Nikon to provide better services and work space for the professional photographers that come to Fenway Park. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Nikon.”
Catch all the action at Fenway Park this season. For more information about Nikon Inc. please visit http://www.nikonusa.com.

21 Sep 08 Nikon Announes New and Enhanced Suite of Coolscan High-Speed Desktop Film Scanners
Nikon Redefines Quality and Performance With New Products and Exclusive Features
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, MACWORLD CONFERENCE & EXPO, Booth 1129, January 5, 2004 - Nikon® has answered the calls of photo hobbyists, professional photographers and graphics professionals with the next generation of Coolscan desktop film scanners – the Coolscan V ED, Super Coolscan 5000 ED and the Super Coolscan 9000 ED. The new film scanners are loaded with features and benefits designed for a wide range of users, including Applied Science Fiction’s™ Digital ICE4™ Advanced technology, Nikon’s exclusive Scan Image Enhancer™ and other “one-button-simple” solutions. The new lineup of Coolscan products will help small and large businesses to streamline their operations and increase productivity while giving home users and hobbyists an affordable solution to revitalize, restore and save precious family memories.
“While digital is dominating today’s photography and printing markets, there are still an enormous amount of film images as well as a need for creating high-quality, versatile hi-resolution digital files. In American homes, literally millions of negatives and slides holding precious family memories are wasting away in shoeboxes and attics,” said Jerry Grossman, vice president, marketing, Consumer Digital Products and Compact Cameras, Nikon Inc. “A Nikon film scanner is an incredibly useful tool to help unlock the potential of an image and use the advantages of digital to bring that image to life.”
Why Nikon?
Nikon invented affordable desktop film scanning in 1994 with the introduction of the original Coolscan, and has been the market leader ever since. In 2001, Nikon was the first manufacturer to offer the groundbreaking Digital ICE3™ technology in its film scanners, as well as high quality ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass for sharp clear images and accurate color representation. Designed with this tradition in mind, Nikon possesses defining capabilities that make each Coolscan scanner the best in its class.
The new Nikon Coolscan desktop film scanners boast 4,000 dpi across the product line, a greater optical density range for even deeper levels of details, faster processing speeds (USB 2 and FireWire - IEEE 1394) and an enhanced version of Nikon Scan 4.
Nikon Coolscan scanners offer features such as:
- Scanner Nikkor ED lens - The single most important element in the production of high-quality scans is the lens. Nikon has incorporated lenses of the highest quality in each film scanner. ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens elements are far superior in edge-to-edge sharpness, definition and contrast, as well as color registration, saturation and accuracy.
- Low-heat, high-accuracy LED light source - Most scanners use halogen or fluorescent lamps as light sources, but they require time to warm up and the heat they generate can cause damage to film. Nikon products are the only scanners to employ LEDs as the source of light. LEDs are a stable, precise light source, which require no maintenance or warm-up time and present no risk of your film being damaged.
- Digital ICE4 Advanced™ - Nikon’s ED glass and LED lighting help to optimize the effectiveness of Digital ICE4 Advanced™ components, making Nikon Coolscan scanners and ICE a perfect match.
- Nikon Color Management System (CMS) - Nikon CMS provides consistently accurate reproduction of image data on monitors and in printouts.
Coolscan Scanners Are Designed for Multiple Applications
Nikon Coolscan V ED - The Digital Time Machine
The Coolscan V ED is an affordable, high-performance film scanner that is designed to be easy to operate for first-time scanner users. For some film camera
users, their best digital camera may, in fact, be their own film SLR camera. By using the Nikon Coolscan V ED, a Nikon N75 or N80 can produce digital scans at close to 22-megapixel resolution.
The Coolscan V ED is perfect for those looking to bring old images back to life and preserve memories with better-than-original quality. Imagine removing scratches from a 1950s family reunion shot or sending your parents their wedding portrait looking better than the day it was taken. It’s more than film scanning - it’s “Timemachineography™.”
With an optical resolution of 4,000 dpi and 14-bit A/D input conversion, the Coolscan V ED is the perfect tool for a home user or photo hobbyist looking to enhance their own film photography experience. A new plug-and-play USB 2.0 interface even improves the speed of image transfer. Scan speed is also surprisingly fast - the Coolscan V ED can scan an image in only 38 seconds (including image transfer and display) - making the entire process smoother and easier from start to finish.
Super Coolscan 5000 ED - Superior Quality, Greater Efficiency, Increased Profits
The Super Coolscan 5000 ED is designed with the needs of imaging professionals in mind, delivering 135/IX240 film scanning at an amazing 20 seconds per image (including image transfer to display) - at 4,000 dpi optical resolution. This, combined with a 16-bit A/D converter and 16-bit output channel, gives pros the speed and power they need to truly affect the scope of their business.
The Super Coolscan 5000 ED is targeted primarily to small and medium-sized business users including professional photographers, web developers and photo finishers, who demand the highest standard of image quality and ultra high-speed scanning capability. The Super Coolscan 5000 ED achieves incredible scan speeds of 20-seconds by utilizing a newly developed high-quality 2-line CCD sensor.
In addition to speed, the scanner also offers a number of time-saving accessories including the redesigned Slide Feeder (SF-210) and Roll Film Adapter (SA-30) to accommodate a variety of slide mounts and uncut film. The Super Coolscan 5000 ED combines superior performance and efficiency to make it the perfect digital archiving solution for business users.
Super Coolscan 9000 ED - Maximum Versatility, Reliability and Performance
The Super Coolscan 9000 ED is the ultimate film scanning solution for serious imaging professionals designed to handle a broad range of film formats such as 35mm, 120/220, 16mm, 6 x 7, 6 x 9 film, electron microscope and more. The Super Coolscan 9000 ED caters specifically to professionals in fields such as advertising and studio photography who regularly work with 120/220 format films.
The scanner outputs a true optical resolution of 4,000 dpi while 16-bit A/D conversion allows the Super Coolscan 9000 ED to produce images of incredible overall quality. Multi-sample scan capability of as many as 16 passes ensures faithful reproduction with smoother gradation of color and detail. This scanner employs a newly developed 3-line CCD sensor, which contributes to unmatched image quality, as well as fast scanning (35mm: 40 seconds; 6 x 9: 185 seconds). Unlike the other new scanners, the Super Coolscan 9000 ED employs an IEEE 1394 interface to quickly manage extremely large file transfers.
The Super Coolscan 9000 ED also features unparalleled image restoration capabilities. Digital ICE4 Advanced™, The Super Coolscan 9000 ED’s exclusive Digital ICE Professional™ is now also compatible with Kodachrome film.

19 Sep 08 Taking Pictures With a Digital Camera
Author: Roberto Sedycias
The development in science and technology in recent years has not just been about developing of devices that make life easier, it has also been a lot about making life more luxurious. One such great development has been the concept of digital camera.
Digital cameras are nothing but cameras that allow you to take pictures digitally instead of having to use cameras that take and store pictures on photographic films. They are easy to use, and are generally multifunctional, providing various facilities. Digital cameras are known for taking good images, which are as good as the pictures taken by the conventional cameras, if not better.
In fact, digital cameras allow one not only to click great pictures; they also allow one to view the pictures as and when taken. Therefore, if you take a picture, and are not satisfied with the way it looks, and if you still have the opportunity of capturing that special moment, you can go on clicking your camera, till you get exactly what you desire.
Digital cameras also allow the option of using a flash light as and when required, to obtain a much clear image. In many digital cameras, there is also an option for taking automatic pictures. This is especially meant for those special moments, when everybody wishes to get included in the picture, without being left out, staying behind the lens.
Digital cameras also allow the user to shoot as well as save videos. Generally the sound and the picture quality is good, though it mostly varies from camera to camera. The flash light can be used while video shooting too and the fact that these are so portable and handy, they allow you to carry them anywhere for any length of time with great ease. Options can be set for automatic video shooting to, in case nobody is willing to stand behind the lens.
There are digital cameras that also allow you to change the style and color of the pictures you may be taking. For instance, you may set an option to take only black and white pictures, or pictures with a bluish or reddish hue. Some digital cameras also come with special lens that can focus and take pictures of a much wider area. Sometime you also might be able to take your own pictures as well as videos, staying behind the lens by adjusting them, if your digital camera gives you that option.
However, one of the greatest benefits of using a digital camera is probably the fact that it allows you to click a large number of pictures without having to worry too much about the memory space. The pictures may be saved in CDs, which means that no matter how long your vacation maybe and how many pictures you end up taking, you do not run out of space trying to save those sweet memories. This not only makes digital cameras more convenient to use, but it also makes it very cheap as compared to the traditional cameras.
However, the special features provided by the digital cameras vary from one camera to another, depending on the producing company, and of course on the price range of the camera. With the rapid development in digital cameras taking pace every now and then, and the prices coming down heavily, with each new discovery, digital cameras are fast becoming one of the most popular electronic goods of the modern world.
Suddenly possessing a digital camera has become a necessity in this fast changing world. Whether one loves photography or not, possessing a personal digital camera is surely one luxury many of us crave for!

19 Sep 08 Canon Digital Camera: the Better Way to Move in Past
Author: Jayson Pablo
There was an era when the past good times that we had lived happily were the matters of our memories only. With every new joy, those good times of past were being vanished from our memories and re-living them became so hard for all of us. Then the age of Art arrived and we all learnt to stock our memoirs in the form of paintings and sculptures. However, the boundaries of these methods were limited and hectic.

This camera made the use of CCD Image Sensor; it had the capability of storing the pictures digitally and making them available to download them in PC. From the year 1991, various companies such as Kodak, Fuji, Sony and others started manufacturing the High-end Digital cameras on very large scale. Their attractive products ranged from Simply Digital to the Professional Digital SLRs. When we aim these cameras at the object and fiddle with the shutter release button, the camera robotically focuses on the object and digitally takes a reading of the obtainable light and then with the help of the processor, CCD and ADC it interpolates the pixels to create crystal clear pictures.
Nowadays, having a digital camera is a non-stop passion for every one. There are many companies in the market, who manufactures these digital photographic engines, but some of them are prodigious. Canon is also among those prodigy masters. This giant offers very huge range of products from different categories. They also offer a superior range of digital still and video cameras.

19 Sep 08 Digital Camera - Indispensable for Life
Author: Roberto Sedycias
It`s really quite difficult to memorize the events that happen in our everyday life. Certain events of our life are forgotten which we don`t want to forget, but still we can`t help ourselves to remember them. But we can save them in the form of pictures so that we can memorize those precious moments when going through the pages of past events. It is possible when we have a digital camera to seize the moment.
In the early 2000, a digital camera with 1 mega pixel sensor costs nearly about $500 American dollars. But now, a digital camera with 5 mega pixel sensor costs less than $ 100 American dollars. This is possible due to the competitive market. Digital camera prices have dropped seriously and features have increased considerably than the previous days. Everyone possesses a digital camera for his personal use or for professional use. We are presently living in a photo crazy world. To take some brilliant shots we require a digital camera. Then, how can we live without a digital camera in such an environment!
Whenever you desire to purchase a digital camera, certain points should be kept in mind which helps you a lot and saves you from the future troubles you might face. Points you need to keep in mind are:
Thousands of digital cameras are available in the market, but you have to be cautious regarding the features and price you need to pay. Be sure that you get more benefits than the price paid for the camera.
Mega pixel used in the camera is also an important thing to consider while buying. The higher the mega pixel, the clearer the picture would be. The zoom facility of a camera helps you to take better photos. The more zoom facility will enable you to get better options.
Image quality of the digital camera is extremely important. Photographs should be eye-catching so that one gets easily impressed at the first sight.
Memory storage capacity of the camera is equally important as quality. If you take hundreds or thousands of photos continuously, then you have to go for the maximum memory storing digital camera.
Size of the camera as well as the size of grip, display screen (LCD) and buttons is also taken into account before buying a digital camera.
The optimum range for capturing photographs determines the quality of the photographs taken from a distant place. To take some brilliant shots we need to have a digital camera with maximum optimum range.

19 Sep 08 How To Choose a Compact Digital Camera
Author: Michael Contaro
Compact digital cameras are such a craze today that almost every household has one. The popularity of digital cameras has in fact overshadowed to near extinction the use of cameras with films. But what is it about digital cameras that make even the professional users go gaga over it?
Digital cameras may cost more than the ordinary camera but it is cost effective in the long term. Unlike ordinary cameras, digital cameras operate without expensive films. The photos can be stored in the user’s computer, or he can save it in a disc or have it printed in photo paper. It is said to be a good investment not only because it does capture memories, but also it allows the user to save on film expenses.
The mad rush for compact digital cameras has begun and even those who could not afford to buy one are saving for that precious digital camera. To make it a good investment, buyers of digital cameras should make sure they know what they are buying and that they are buying the digital camera that best fits their requirements.
Neophyte digital camera users believe that the higher the pixel of the camera, the better for them. The truth is, a digital camera’s pixel is only as good as the user’s requirements. It means choose a digital camera pixel depending on your needs and not just for the sake of buying a digital camera with high pixel.
Before considering the type of digital camera you need, it is practical to take note of your budget or allowance allotted for buying the camera. Digital camera makers come up with new models every six months that digital cameras that are highly priced before now can be more affordable for you later on.
Choosing a digital camera brand really depends on the preference of the user. There are brands that are highly priced because they are popular and the manufacturers have spent millions for advertisements. Good reviews will also depend on the preferences of the camera reviewers so better stick to the basic requirements of a good camera. Sometimes, buyers opt for well-known brands that have been in the camera business for a long time to make sure they are buying quality digital cameras.
Prospective buyers of digital cameras should be patient in reading the guide or manual because unlike the ordinary camera, digital cameras are a bit complicated to use the first time. It gets easier though once you get the hang of it.
When choosing which digital camera, take note of the optical zoom and not the digital zoom because the former does the real zooming. As to the matter of mega pixels, the higher the pixels, the more expensive it gets. However, if you just need to print your photos in small sizes, you do not need the higher mega pixels. When using digital cameras with the intention of printing your photos, it is ideal to choose the highest resolution but this will also mean each shot will require more memory storage. You also have to know that digital cameras come with software that will allow users to adjust the sizes of the photos. However, it is always best to change a higher resolution shot to lower resolution than the reverse because it has a tendency to become pixelized and the image will become blurred.
Whatever model of digital camera you choose, make sure it is appropriate for your requirements. If you are an amateur, start with a digital camera that has the basic requirements and a lower mega pixel so it will be affordable for you.
