Minolta Dimage X 2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
Minolta's Dimage X raises the stakes in the world of itty-bitty digital cameras. By incorporating a clever internal zoom lens, developing a slim new rechargeable battery, and using diminutive SD memory cards, Minolta has created a pocket-sized picture taker that's just 0.8 inches thick and has an overall volume 10 percent smaller than Canon's S110 Digital Elph. The camera's most unusual feature is its internal zoom lens. While most digital cameras are built like their film counterparts--with a telescoping zoom lens protruding from the front--the lens assembly in the Dimage X is arranged vertically inside the camera, with the sensor at the very bottom, like a periscope in a submarine. This layout allows for a slim camera with a full 3x optical zoom. In addition, startup times are faster, since you don't have to wait for the lens to extend before shooting. Designed primarily as a point-and-shoot, the Dimage X nevertheless has several features to satisfy more advanced users, including an uncompressed TIFF storage mode and slow-sync flash. A movie-mode feature records up to 35 seconds of video with sound. Images are stored on stamp-size SD or MMC memory cards. Though relatively uncommon in digital cameras, this type of card is a popular choice for MP3 players, PDAs, and numerous other handheld devices, ensuring continued support for the format in the future. Images can be transferred to your Mac or PC via USB, and the included audio-visual cable lets you view images and film clips on your home TV. A proprietary lithium-ion battery provides power--battery and charger are included.

Minolta Freedom Zoom 70
The Minolta Freedom Silver Streak Zoom is an affordable and easy-to-use 35mm camera that includes features usually reserved for higher-priced models, such as a 35-70mm zoom lens that's controlled by a rocker switch located next to the shutter release button. The Silver Streak Zoom includes both an autofocus and focus-hold system, so you can focus on subjects as close as 4.3 feet. The built-in flash has four flash modes, including red-eye reduction and fill, with a range of up to 19 feet depending on film speed and zoom setting. Other features include a date-time stamp and a 10-second self-timer. Unique to cameras in this price range is a remote control that can activate the camera from as far away as 16 feet. Includes carrying case, batteries, and color-print film. --Harry C. Edwards

Konica Z-Up 120VP Zoom 35mm Camera
The Konica Z-Up 120 VP Zoom is an easy-to-use point-and-shoot camera with a built-in 38-120mm zoom lens. It comes loaded with a variety of automatic features but also allows for artistic control. It offers infrared nonscan active autofocus as well as macro and infinity focus modes for fuss-free clear shots at any distance. The Z-Up 120 also features a real-image viewfinder with autofocus framing and close-up compensation marks. The Konica Z-Up 120 VP is equipped for portraiture. It has a night-view portrait mode that lets the flash capture the subject in the foreground, while the slow shutter speed lets the magic of cityscape night views come shining through. An additional benefit for portrait lovers is the camera's red-eye reduction mode. By emitting a pre-flash beam of light, the subject's pupils contract, which helps minimize the red-eye effect. Other flash modes include autoflash, which detects when the light is dim; and flash off, for times when using a flash is inappropriate (such as in museums or during theater performances). An electronic 10-second self-timer gives you time to get into the picture, while electronic focus, loading, winding, and rewinding help shooters concentrate on composition instead of hassling with the technical aspects. The standard remote control allows the photographer to take pictures automatically from a distance. This camera also features date imprinting, so users will never have to guess when a shot was taken.

Minolta Vectis 300 Beam APS Camera
The Advanced Photo System (APS) has breathed new life into the design of point-and-shoot cameras. Thanks to a smaller film size (24mm) and a compact film cartridge, camera manufacturers have been able to design small, sleek cameras that fit comfortably into a shirt pocket. And with the Vectis 300, Minolta has not only designed a tiny camera, it's designed a camera that's just plain sexy. The Vectis 300 is encased in a distinctive, stainless steel body. The camera uses a 24-70mm zoom lens (equivalent to a 30-87.5mm lens on a 35mm camera) that's easily controlled by two buttons on the camera back. It includes both autofocus and focus-hold systems--you can focus on objects as close as 16 inches. Select from five flash modes including red-eye reduction and fill. Depending on the film speed and zoom setting, the flash range extends to 20 feet. As with most APS cameras, you can select from three print formats: Classic (C--4 inches by 6 inches); HDTV (H--4 inches by 7 inches), and Panoramic (P--3.5 inches by 10 inches). Other features include a self-timer and time-date stamping and titling options, which are imprinted on the film's magnetic strip and can then be printed by the film lab on the front or back of your prints. A remote control can be purchased separately. Fun and easy to use, the Vectis 300 is about as good as it gets in point-and-shoot APS photography. --Harry C. Edwards

Originally almost
all photographs were black and white. Although
methods for developing color photos were available
as early as the late 19th century, they did not
become widely available until the 1940s or 50s,
and even in until the 1960s most photographs were
taken in black and white. Since then, colour photography
has dominated popular photography, although the
black and white format remains popular for amateur
photographers and artists. Black and white film
is considerably easier to develop than color.

Most traditional photographs
are produced with a two-step chemical process. In
the two-step process, the film holds a negative image
(colours and lights/darks are inverted), which is
then transferred onto photographic paper as a positive
image. Another widely used film is the positive film
used for producing transparencies, usually mounted
in cardboard or plastic frames called slides. Slides
are widely used by professionals mostly due to their
sharpness and accuracy of colour rendition. Most photographs
published in magazines are still originally taken
on color transparency film. (wikipedia)
