Nikon Accessories Brochure – 1986

Dated October 1986.
The brochure features some of the more hard-to-find (now) cases.
Lens Hoods – they’re always a difficult item to match with their proper lens.
Wouldn’t it be nice to own these now?

I have many Nikon brochures in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com (hosted by Etsy). I ship nearly Worldwide. Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Here is another super nice digital camera from Panasonic – the Lumix DMC-FZ28.

It is fun to use a digicam with a sharp CCD sensor for film-like images.

The Leica lens has a zoom range of 27 to 486mm (35mm equivalent).
Super telephoto image at 486mm.

Happy SUNday! – the joy of using a digicam

Regular readers know I love using (on occasion) simple ‘low’ resolution digicams. It’s fun to remember how special these early digital cameras were and to revisit the images they produced.

My Canon PowerShot A530 is a perfect example of the type of camera we used in the early 2000s. With 5 megapixels and a CCD sensor, it’s quite capable of producing film-like pictures that stand up against today’s high-resolution cousins.

Canon PowerShot A530 has a sharp (and fast) Canon 4x optical zoom lens with excellent macro abilities (as close as 1.97 inches from the lens). The CCD sensor creates film-like images.
Azalea blossom captured in simple point-and-shoot macro mode.
A classic from Canon.
It’s been my camera of choice for grabbing quick garden pics over the years.
It fits easily in a pocket, and although the LCD screen is not large by today’s standards, it’s plenty bright enough for composing your shots.
Florida redbud blossoms.
It’s available in my Etsy camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com.
