Hands Up, Don’t Shoot (yet)! I’ve Gotta Say Cheese to Nikon Cameras!



I’ll admit it. Taking a selfie isn’t really up in my list of priorities. Mobiles aren’t meant to be cameras, they just don’t possess the panache and the power of an actual photographic device of exquisite design and singular purpose. I’m of the faith that each device is meant to do one thing, and do it well. Thankfully, digital cameras exist to do just that, and prove that mobiles aren’t nearly as well-equipped to take a candid snapshot as they are hyped up to be.

And of course, if you’re looking at quality, why look anywhere else except at a Japanese company? In the aftermath of World War 2, Japanese companies began realizing that the main reason for their downfall in the war, besides their wrongly placed fascist faith of course, was their poorly manufactured goods. They spent the next few decades trying to prove to the world that Japan can manufacture goods of the highest quality.

And right up there at the top, with nearly a century’s experience in lens manufacturing, is a company that has stood for excellence in design and a price that is often unbeaten at the same time.

Nikon Cameras

Nikon was established in 1917, beginning with optical lenses and eventually manufacturing lenses for the first Canon cameras. In its nearly-a-century-old history, Nikon has managed to gain the respect of a world of photographers and explorers for the sturdy equipment and its wide variety of products.

Even if you’re stuck on one of the worst places to be stranded or if you want to capture the glory of a near-earth asteroid or two, be sure to make the most of the event by carrying your trustworthy Nikon Camera everywhere.

Nikon’s Range of Cameras

No matter what your budget is, Nikon has something for every photographer. Beginning with its wide selection of compact cameras from the L29 Point and Shoot model to the Coolpix models, Nikon even offers high-end DSLRs for the professional photographers.

If you’re the kind of photographer who likes to change out his lenses to suit the occasion, then be sure to browse through the mirrorless options. However, their lack of a viewfinder might be a hindrance if you’re not comfortable with using a digital LCD screen to aim the camera properly.

A Brick and Mortar Store? How about a Bytes and HTML one? Buy Nikon Cameras Online!

Instead of walking into a physical store only to be convinced to buy a model you’re not going to use, take a look at online shopping sites and browse through their brochures. That gives you the advantage of learning about the products before buying them, and having the product delivered right to your home. If you’d like, there are options of getting the product gift-wrapped, so grab your credit card and give your loved ones a gift that they’ll want to use right away and flood your Facebook wall with images, left, right and center!

Get Down to Brass Tacks, Buy a Camera from Pentax



Have you looked closely at a work of art? Have you taken in its various facets, the colours and hues of a painting, the likes of the Mona Lisa or Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d'Avignon? What do the colours and the angles of the lines say to you? What magic do they reveal to your soul?

Great art has a way of harnessing our emotions, imbuing their own lack of a soul with our own. It feels like they’re sentient in the way they manipulate our emotions, forcing us to experience things we’ve not experienced in a long time.

Not many of us can buy great artwork, unfortunately. In fact, no matter how much money you think you have, you’re never rich enough to buy the Sistine Chapel or the Venus de Milo. Instead, you’ll have to settle for cheap printouts or replicas, images that don’t possess your soul like the originals do.

So unless you and your barber’s shop quartet have the means to break into the Louvre and make off with the artworks of your desire, you’re going to want to find a way to satisfy your need for art. How about beginning with a photograph of you in front of it? Even if you do end up coming up with a Machiavellian plot to steal the art work one day, you can use these photos for reference as you map the museum’s floor plan for your rehearsal. What did you call your team again? Earth’s Mightiest Art Thieves? Guess not. Get a camera for the time being and hope that no one else guesses what you’re about to do.

Get a Pentax Camera today and keep the SWAT teams away as you make away with memories instead of irreplaceable artwork.

The Pentax Brand

Quality comes from Japan. Founded as the Asahi Kogaku Goshi Kaisha in 1919, the company began manufacturing optical lenses for use in the spectacles industry. Eventually, the Asahi Optical company acquired the name “Pentax” from the Germans after World War 2, rebranding themselves as a manufacturer of photographic products, supplying parts to the United States and becoming one of the foremost manufacturers of still cameras, binoculars, spectacle lenses and other optical instruments.

Pentax Camera Models

If you’re looking for a camera to capture everyday moments, be sure to check out Pentax’s Efina Point & Shoot model. However, if you’re looking for something a lot more powerful, then you’re looking in the right place.

With its high shutter speed, Bayonet Stainless Steel Mount lens and 16.3 MP resolution, the Pentax K 50 Single (DAL 18-55 mm WR) Lens DSLR Camera is a prize for any photographer.

Where to Buy Pentax Cameras

Pentax’s models are a little hard to get your hands on at conventional stores. Thankfully, we live in a digital age. Get online and search through an online shopping site for their selections from Pentax. The discounts are unmatched and there’s always a sale going on. Get out your credit cards and start clicking.

Gentlemen, on Your Marks, Get Set, Shoot!



They race to the finish line, adrenaline gushing through their veins. The crowds roar, their excitement doubly so because of the sheer magnitude of this event. Their pride rides on the victory of the runners they support.

Imagine going to the sports day at your kid’s school and being unable to capture the swift pace at which he races on the track in an ordinary camera. You want to record his winning moments forever, show them to him at embarrassing family get togethers years later and laugh at the good old times. However, with any old camera, it becomes hard to capture all the movements.

Sports & Action Cameras

Sports and Action Cameras are best suited for fast paced sporting events where each frame counts. These cameras provide a lossless recording medium that can capture every millisecond of action. Record your favourite events, professional or amateur, using one of these cameras and rest assured that even years later, you’re going to be on the edge of your seat from the anxiety.

Things to Consider Before Buying A Sports Camera

There are a few things to keep in mind before one purchases a sports and action camera.
1.    High shutter speed: The shutter speed of the camera should be high enough to capture all the action. This enables a high frame rate.
2.    Spill Resistance: If you’re interested in shooting photos at a water-sports event, you’ll need a sturdy camera that can handle a little water.
3.    Moisture Resistance: Sporting events are often areas of higher humidity, so the camera must be able to handle the higher moisture content.
4.    Video Output: Video output upto 4K is available in most high end cameras, so choose wisely according to your needs.
5.    Optical Zoom: If you’re interested in capturing the minute facets of the sport, then the camera needs a better optical zoom.
6.    Video Photography: If you want to record the action in a video to share later, you need a camera that can record crystal clear imagery with lifelike videos.

It’s a Game of Brands

It’s hard to trust brands these days. However, there is safety in sticking to tried and tested ones. If it’s a sturdy sports camera you’re after for, look no further than GoPro or Sony. GoPro in particular is known for its wide selection of models, ranging from entry level cameras to advanced sports cameras and accessories that look like they belong on the track, just as much as any runner.

Buy Sports and Action Cameras Online

It’s difficult to get one’s hands on a decent sports and action camera in most shops. Usually, it requires pre-ordering and importing. Luckily, we dwell in modern times, where the Internet facilitates us with a vast array of shopping options at our fingertips.

Log on to your favourite online shopping sites and browse through their selection of cameras, fine-tuning your options with the filters. Set your budget and your preferred brands to shortlist your possible purchases and compare each model to find the one that will suit your needs.
