2009 In Review: The Year In Digital Photo

Now that most digital cameras offer at least 8 to 10 megapixels of resolution, camera companies have turn their attention to a new front in the camera wars: ISO. Light sensitivity settings have been on the rise for years now, but in 2009 companies broke new ground. In October, Nikon announced the D3S , a high-end SLR that boasts an ISO range up to ISO 12,800, as well as an enhanced mode that further extends the range to the equivalent of ISO 102,400. A week later, Canon announced the EOS-1D Mark IV , with similar ISO specs.

Of course, the high end of that scale isn’t going to give you beautiful photos—it’s more about getting the shot in impossible situations; however, the improved performance translates down the ISO scale, too, giving you better shots at ISO settings previously considered a last resort. Unlike some other camera specs that are more about marketing than good photography, better low-light performance is a trend that we can get behind. Here’s hoping for more to come in 2010.

Is our Panasonic digital camera ruined?


My guess is that this is a fault in the CCD sensor (the "film" in a digital camera). There were a rash of these problems in sensors produced by Sony in 2005 (see link below) with the common symptom of a horizontal line appearing on the image. Many companies were will to fix this fault for free.

You have (possibly) two options.

1. If you can gain access to the sensor (depending on the camera, you might be able to take off the lens to get access), you might use a lens blower to try to knock off any dust, etc that fell onto the sensor. It's possible (though unlikely) that this is your problem.

2. You can call Panasonic and tell them about the problem, highlighting that this is a sensor fault, and try to get them to spring for the repair. If they won't the cost of the repair is probably prohibitive (around $200 for Canon), so you'll end up tossing the camera.


Sounds like you might have a crack on the lens. Take a look and see. but, yes, you may need a new camera.

Whats better a Nikon or Panasonic digital camera?


Look at Nikon, or Canon

My preference in the larger DSLR's are the Nikon's (of course!)

Canon makes good stuff too, but I prefer the "ergonomics" or layout on the Nikon.

In the smaller Point n shooters, Canon may have the slight edge.

Both cameras are good, but Canon gives a larger selection of cameras with an "optical viewfinder" which I prefer in the bright sunlight.
Those LCD viewfinders can be hard to see in bright sunlight.

Make sure you get one with the VR (Vibration Reduction, Nikon)
or the IS (Image Stabilization, Canon) to help you get good shots in the low light tough shooting conditions.
