Pandigital Photolink One-Touch PANSCN06 8.5-Inch x11-Inch Photo Scanner – White Impression quality, controls and features are generally excellent. Shutter lag is small. The zoom range is ideal – a 5x medium-wide to medium-telephoto range is significantly more useful in fast action situations over a 10x normal to prolonged tele. The camera easily slides in and beyond a shirt pocket, and it’s rugged. Most of the transferring parts are internal, and that’s a huge plus: no motorized lens wimpily cruising in and out as well as getting stuck when the idea meets its first wheat of sand. I love the concept of a “lifeproof” camera to look at along when you’re performing something exciting and memorable – in other words, something worth photographing! My issue is which they don’t take the idea far enough.
Consider the circumstances if you are kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing or baseball. Chances are you simply have one hand free for photography as the other one is occupied fending off disaster (and if you’re mountain biking, the free hand ought to be the left one). You’re probably wearing glasses, maybe gloves too, and if you should set the camera down there may be nothing around but rocks or dirt to line it on.
Now look at the WG-1 or its successor, the WG-2. All the controls are crammed resistant to the right edge of the most notable and back, so if you’re holding the camera within your right hand, it’s pretty hard to realize anything with your proper thumb except the zoom control. Many of the controls are too close together to easily work with gloves on, although the critical strength, shutter release and zoom controls are more spread out. There’s no viewfinder, so you have to be able to either “shotgun” your composition or lose the sunglasses and utilize unavailable left hand to be able to shade the LCD display screen from harsh sun glare. (To be good, it’s a pretty vibrant screen.) If you set the camera down and it also can’t balance on it is narrow bottom edge you’ll scratch either the contact or the LCD display screen.
So what can one does? I made a wrist strap the actual length necessary to maintain camera in my the company while my fingers thrust against it, giving the thumb and forefinger as often room as possible to be able to grope around, but it’s not an incredibly stable grip. I can hold the camera the other way up in my left hands and push the shutter release with my thumb, leaving the right hand liberated to work the rear brake of the mountain bike. I keep the macro engagement ring always attached, giving the lens somewhat separation from the dirt if the camera falls over with its face. Read the rest of this entry »
