High Zoom Digital Cameras by allexclusive 2011/07/17 01:27
Be4 beginning i would like to draw ur attention on the fact that after crossing 8x optical zoom the digital cameras are no more mere cameras, these would become camcorders virtually so there will be low image quality especially in low light; it seems that Nikkon & Canon only produce high quality image in low light despite having high zoom lenses

hold on! it has a special Active Mode
POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) with Active Mode
For more effective countermeasure against blur, the Active Mode is newly equipped with the DMC-ZS10(TZ20) for an option of image stabilization in movie recording. In addition to the conventional POWER O.I.S., the Active Mode effectively suppress blur in movie recording especially at wide angle while walking or playing with your children. In addition, it's an optical system so there's no image degradation. It‘s especially good for active movie shooting.

Nikon Coolpix s8100
COOLPIX S8100
Announced : 08-09-2010
With the new image-processing engine, EXPEED C2, the COOLPIX S8100 is recommended for those who want to maximise their individual power of expression.
Price:
INR 13,450
(Maximum Retail Price)
Colors Available: Black, Red, Champagne Gold
Freebees: Pouch & 4GB SD Card
Pro: Con:
12.1-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor
Very good 10x Nikkor ED VR optical zoom lens
30-300mm eq. lens is reasonably wide with good telephoto reach
Very fast shutter lag, rivaling digital SLRs
Solid feel, comfortable grip
Very simple control layout
Excellent 3-inch LCD screen with 921K dots
10 fps burst shooting
Good overall color with adequate light
Full HD video at 30 fps with stereo sound
Optical zoom supported in videos
HDMI port
Backlight HDR
Sharp macro results
Good printed results
Scene Auto Selector analyzes each scene to pick the correct settings
Very little geometric distortion
Good corner sharpness at telephoto
Good detail even at ISO 3,200
ISO 160 makes a good 16x20-inch print
ISO 3,200 makes a good 5x7-inch print Few manual options
No dedicated battery charger
Output compartment door seems flimsy
Charging port is difficult to reach
Below-average battery life
Hard-to-reach on/off button
Soft corners at wide-angle
Bright chromatic aberration at wide and telephoto
Auto white balance renders Incandescent lighting a bit too red
The Nikon S8100 is supplied with an EN-EL12 lithium-ion battery. Per CIPA standards it lasts for 210 shots in still mode. Even though I got more than that during my tests, this is below average, so a spare makes good sense for anyone planning on spending a long day in the field. Speaking of the battery, Nikon does not supply a dedicated charger. You connect the camera to an AC adapter via the supplied USB cable. In other words you have to charge the battery in-camera so your new baby is out of commission until it's re-juiced. The plus side is that you can charge the battery via your computer's USB port, so long as you've brought along the Nikon S8100's USB cable.
Overall, we liked the Nikon Coolpix 8100, and had a lot of fun shooting with it. Outdoors, the Nikon S8100 takes very good photographs with excellent color. Indoors, the camera does reasonably well considering the 12-megapixel resolution and long zoom; and the Nikon S8100 even has HDR modes to deal with difficult lighting situations. The most important feature of the Nikon S8100 is its 10x zoom in a compact frame which is a real bonus for street photographers and vacationers. I liked it and definitely consider the Backlight HDR a real plus. Shutter lag and overall control response is excellent, yet the 4-way VR is not the best stabilization system I've used. Videos are acceptable, if not in the same league as a camcorder; but at least you can zoom optically while recording, for greater versatility. In the end, it's the printed results that matter, making us feel good about recommending the Nikon Coolpix S8100 as a quality contender in the pocket long zoom space, and a Dave's Pick!

Nikon Coolpix S5100
-5X Optical Zoom ; Rs 12995 - 15000
The Nikon Coolpix S5100 is a stylish new 12.2-megapixel digital compact camera with a 5x optical zoom and 2.7 inch LCD screen. Other highlights of the S5100 include optical Vibration Reduction, 720p HD video recording, 18 scene modes, Scene Auto Selector, Subject Tracking and Nikon’s Smart Portrait System, a new flash control system plus motion and tripod detection.
In general terms the Nikon's images can look rather muddy at times, particularly when shooting at maximum telephoto and in lower light, benefiting from auto adjustment in Photoshop or simply opting for the vivid mode on the camera itself to boost colour saturation and add visual punch to formerly flat shots. These are minor gripes however and when conditions are ideal the Nikon can deliver some impressively sharp results that belie its budget status. Admittedly at the end of the day you're left with snaps rather than high art, but the S5100 suggests itself as an able tool for the back pocket for reference shots and the like.

For still photography the HX9 offers 10fps continuous shooting. The HX9 boasts a 16x (24-384mm equiv.) optical zoom lens and a 921k dot display, and it can generate both high resolution panoramics and also 3D images.
The Sony HX9V is a very capable camera when it comes to image quality and video, shots are generally sharp from edge to edge, colors are vivid and well-exposed and the video quality is amongst the best of any compact camera we've ever seen. However, much like its predecessor the HX5, its image performance is overshadowed by sluggish operational speed. Slow start-up and playback make the HX9V irritating at times when you are either unprepared for an unexpected photo opportunity or want to review your images while shooting restless subjects such as children or pets.

Still Image Quality
Since the Nikon Coolpix S9100 receives the same 12.1-megapixel 1/2.3-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor from last year's Coolpix S8100, we did not notice any changes when it came to image quality.
Low light shooting with the Nikon Coolpix S9100 was just as tasty as it was with the S8100. Noise management was surprisingly spot on, and the S9100 gave the Canon PowerShot SD4500 IS a run for its money. Both cameras will perform well in low light, and the S9100 had plenty of tools to get the job done.
In bright light, the Nikon Coolpix S9100 also impressed us with a vivid color palette and stellar macro shots. Of course, we encountered entry-level image aberrations, like out of focus smearing, purple fringing, and blue noise at ISO 3200. However, the Nikon Coolpix S9100 proved itself as a camera that could be deployed and used to capture impressive still images on the fly.
You have a lot of options for recording high-definition video with the S9100—1080 at 30 frames per second and 720 at 30 and 60 fps. (60 frames per second is very rare, on anything other than a dedicated camcorder.) You even have the option to create low-resolution (320 by 240) slow motion video, capturing 240 frames per second. Videos are captured as .MOV files which can be uploaded into YouTube and Facebook readily.
The S9100 allows you to use its giant zoom while recording video, but when zooming in and out you'll capture subtle noise from the lens motor. It can also autofocus while it's recording, and in my tests, I didn't hear any noise while it did so. There's a built-in stereo microphone, so captured audio sounds great too. You can play videos back on your HDTV by connecting a cable to the S9100's built-in mini-HDMI port. Files can be transferred to your computer via the camera's proprietary USB port. The camera writes to SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards.

Still Image Quality
Since the Nikon Coolpix S9100 receives the same 12.1-megapixel 1/2.3-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor from last year's Coolpix S8100, we did not notice any changes when it came to image quality.
Low light shooting with the Nikon Coolpix S9100 was just as tasty as it was with the S8100. Noise management was surprisingly spot on, and the S9100 gave the Canon PowerShot SD4500 IS a run for its money. Both cameras will perform well in low light, and the S9100 had plenty of tools to get the job done.
In bright light, the Nikon Coolpix S9100 also impressed us with a vivid color palette and stellar macro shots. Of course, we encountered entry-level image aberrations, like out of focus smearing, purple fringing, and blue noise at ISO 3200.

Ultimately my choice is Canon 115 HS for low bujet only rs 9445 with 4x zoom and Sony Hx9v for high zoom and its zoom level can be increased using precision zoom. When the picture size is reduced long enough zoom can be obtained. I have personally tested hx9v and its features are awesome. I have also tested hx100v but the only difference is higher zoom which is not a much factor as 16x zoom can be increased reducing the picture size but its enough as we generally print 4by6 size or even smaller as post card size
