Nikon Coolpix P100

  The Nikon P100 is a great all round camera that is perfect for all situations. The massive 26x optical zoom is incredibly useful for distances shots and the resultant image quality is superb.
To use the zoom you use buttons for zooming in and out and this works fine. It’s actually quite standard but I do prefer the barrel zoom style of the Fuji HS10 (which also has a greater zoom at 30x). The camera feels nice to hold and is very well balanced. It’s a good weight as Nikon use their own battery and this keeps the weight down (compare to the Fuji’s 4 AA battery requirement). The screen is also nice and bright and of a good quality. You feel like you have an expensive camera in your hand.

Nikon Coolpix L110

Why I brought this camera?

I brought the Nikon coolpix L110 from buyacamera.co.uk earlier this month.I brought the stunning red version for my wife so that we could take pictures of our daughter. It takes fantastically professional pictures. The reason I brought it was because our previous camera was taking pictures which were not that clear.

About this Camera

I brought the camera for the reasonably affordable price of £154.99 including vat. The camera also has a free two year gurantee but I am not sure whether the extra year is provided by buyacamera.co.uk or the supplier Nikon. The camera weighs approximately 406 grams with the battery and memory card included.

Nikon Coolpix L22

Although my main interest when it comes to digital cameras is in the cheaper end of the market, especially if there are second-hand bargains to be had, that doesn't mean that I am uninterested in the newer and/or more advanced models. In any case, sometimes I want to play about with more settings or options than many of those more basic cameras can manage! So I was interested to see not so long ago that Nikon had brought out two new compacts in its long-running Coolpix range, the eight-megapixel L21 and the camera I actually got hold of, and am testing here, the 12-megapixel L22. A lot of people will be attracted by the enduring cachet of the Nikon brand, so this camera may well sell pretty well.

Garmin nuvi 1340

  I finally gave in a traded my AA route finder notes (which always got me from A to B) for a Garmin nuvi 1340. I have to admit that these things annoy me so much, shouting directions at you every 5 seconds, but I thought I ought to at least try to get with the 21st century, plus everyone I know as one, so they can’t be that bad can they?
I managed to pick mine up for £139 from Pixmania, which was a bargain, as I’d seen one in my local Halford store whilst shopping for oil again! (but that’s another story) for £179! Just proving its worth shopping around.

HP Pavilion dv6

This HP Pavilion dv6000 I bought off a customer because she was upgrading to a HP dv9000. The z key missing and the right hozzle was crack, but it was nothing that a little dab of epoxy wouldn't hurt. I have had HP products in the past, like desktops and printers, this is my first laptop from them. When she offered it to me for a $100.00 I couldn't pass this up. First things that I did was clean her registry and unwanted files and programs. I checked the hard drive for skips and when it came up totally clean, I was a very happy man.
The 15.4 glossy widescreen lcd display made everything crystal clear and jump out straight at you. Granted this machine is 3 years old. The average life span for a good laptop is roughly 2 years or a tad more if your careful with them. The 1.3mp web cam on this model brings out every digital aspect of your surroundings. With the dual holed microphone on the top of the LCD display your voice or sound is recorded in a stereo process making it crisp and clear. (The new photo on my profile is a snapshot from the web cam on board this laptop)
