TOP 10 Digital Camera’s

Good afternoon everyone, for the last two weeks I had so many conversations with people
regarding good digital camera.  Christmas is coming up  and they can be wonderful gifts.
Here below I’m including some VERY popular and HI Quality camera’s.

There are many other popular camera’s like Nikon D90.    But if you are looking for a  ”pocket camera” my choice would be the following:

#1  Leica D Lux 4
#2 Canon powershoot G11
#3 Panasonic LX 3

**********

#1 Panasonic GF 1 $899+lenses sold separately

Panasonic_GF1
#2  Canon Rebel XTi #1 MOST popular camera hands down.  200 million photos on Flickr alone by Rebels.
Rebel_X1i
#3 Leica D Lux 4 $699 Leica is like Rolls Royce.  (When I think of Rebel camera I think of Hyundai popular by it’s
Hyundai.

Leica_D_LUX_4

#4 Canon G11 $499 (It’s top of the LINE camera amoung Point and shoot camera’s Quality wise).

Canon_G11
#5 Panasonic LX3  with Leica lens $499 (another Hi Quality superb camera with Leica Lens)

Panasonic_LX3
#6 Canon S1x   $599 (It’s bigger than G11 but it offers FULL 1080P
Hi Def video so no need for HD video camera it’s all in one! HUGE PLUS)
Another huge PLUS 20x optical zoom vs 5x in G11 or LX3

SX1_IS

#7 Canon SX20 IS $390 (quality very similar to S1x)   (Rated #1 in Amazon)

SX_20 is
#7  Canon S5 (older model but superb quality)

S5IS
#9 Canon SD 990 IS $290 (rated #1 by BH photo  and some other site HOWEVER
A) in B&H it’s discontinued  B) what concerns me about this camera is so many pixels
15 million pixels on small sensor.  It’s NEVER a good idea to put TOO MANY pixels in small
sensor that’s why Canon G11 DOWNSIDE their pixels. G10 Older model had MORE
pixels than NEW camera!  and new G11 has much less noise in the dark!

So from my researched I seen that professional photographers compare Canon with Panasonic A LOT because
Panasonic puts Leica lenses and they are Hi End.   One’s we go down the list I notice that different sites
promote different camera’ Canon SD780 $250 , Fuji Film, Sony HX1 $499 Nikon Coolpix and others.

Kim+David wedding

Hey guys today we came back from a VERY BEAUTIFUL Vietnamese wedding. Alex and I are completely EXHAUSTED.

SPECIAL thanks for www.shiksastudio.com for staying and helping in todays wedding.   Yesterday Alex and I shot a  wedding
together.  He was a videographer and I was the photographer.   We came back exhausted!    So as soon as we came home, Alex went to
sleep (there was no point for going back to Bay Area)  because that’s were he lives.  But I had to stay up for couple more hrs  charging
betters, transferring photos etc.

Here is few shoots.  There are so many HOT images.   I really need to get around post post more one day:).

AS you can see I REALLY like to shoot video here is a moment at the END of the wedding where BRIDE was stolen (old tradition).  Also
I included joke that host Moses shared with us!  I found it pretty funny.    My goal was NOT to produce perfect video so it shakes etc..

Album production

Hello everyone!

If you follow our Blog for long time you probably noticed that we started to upload a LOT of video’s.   Right now I believe EVERY new
Canon photo camera captures video.    So when I got new camera I started to shoot lots of video for my family and just fell in LOVE with
capturing video.

For the last 2 weeks we have shifted our attention heavily to ALBUMS.  Because weddings finally slowed down little bit we’re able
to dedicate much more time towards album design!   Up until this point Oksana was designing all albums for us, but because
I have finally more  time, I started to design album as well.

So now we’re working on 2 different albums at the same time.

I was just talking to one girl who said that she knows many photographers but almost none of them create albums.  And I don’t
blame them.  Albums are very hard to create, extremely time consuming, requires a lot of responsibility and are very beautiful.

Meanwhile here is album for Anna and Roman.
