The History of Nikon Cameras
Founded in 1917, the Nikon Corporation is still the first choice for most photographers and image lovers after almost 100 years! It was originally called the “Japan Optical Industries Corporation” but was later renamed as Nikon Corporation in 1988. Nikon is a Japanese corporate company with its headquarters in Tokyo, the capital city of Japan and is under the umbrella of Mitsubishi Group. This multinational company specializes in imaging and optics.
Besides cameras, the most popular Nikon product, the company is also engaged in the production of a number of other interesting artifacts including microscopes, binoculars, measurement instruments etc. The Nikon cameras range over a wide variety. There are four popular series which define Nikon cameras. The Nikon F series deals with the SLR cameras of 135 films and the D series comprises of the digital cameras.
The Coolpix series of compact digital cameras is a comparatively new one whereas the Nikonos is a special series of under water cameras. The first Nikon branded camera was introduced in 1948. Before this, Nikon was involved n the production of optical lenses and other optical equipment used in the manufacture of binoculars, cameras, microscopes, etc.
During the Second World War, Nikon with its large number of factories supplied binoculars, bombsights and such other useful equipment to the Japanese military. The first Nikon F series SLR cameras was introduced in 1959 and for the next 30 years, they were one of the most popular cameras used by professional photographers. Later on, Nikon became one of the pioneers of digital camera manufacturers.
The digital cameras revolutionized photography in such an unexpected and remarkable way, that the demand for the Nikon film cameras fell rapidly. Considering the situation, Nikon has presently stopped the production of film cameras and has devoted to the production of digital cameras only. From the very beginning till now, Nikon has continued to produce some of the best cameras of the world.
It has constantly modified its range of products. With the use of newer and improved technologies, Nikon has created such sophisticated and miraculous artifacts that we could not even dream of. Not only for common people and photographers, Nikon has produced cameras and lenses that have been used for scientific research by different organizations.
Nikon was the primary supplier for NASA for its unique and specialized products. Nikon has played a major role in popularizing photography among the common people. Nikon has continuously tried to make photography an easy job for everyone by introducing automatic features in the cameras. It has never failed in its effort to exceed the expectations of its customers and has successfully built up such an extraordinary reputation, that the brand name itself today defines the photographic industry.

Where To Find Cheap Canon Digital Cameras
Canon is one of the most popular brand of cameras out there, and for good reason. They have a range of models that sell from below $100 up to several thousand dollars. With the majority of those models below $300, and quite a few of those below $150. Of course, if your willing to go used with your digital camera purchase, then you’ll spend even less money. If your looking at used, be sure you stick with a reputable dealer either online or offline.
Don’t just consider the initial purchase price with your camera either. Buying a cheap Canon camera is one thing, but there’s an operation cost to be considered with any digital camera. Lots of megapixels may make for sharper resolution images, but they also take up more space on your memory cards and your computer. Memory cards (SD / CF) and hard drives are not cheap. The bigger they are, the more expensive they get. Try to buy a digital camera with no more than 7 megapixels. 5 or 6 would be better.
Another thing to consider, is LCD screen size. A lot of digital cameras have 2.5 or 3 inch LCD screens. Nice for viewing, but also guaranteed to chew through batteries like crazy. If you look around a bit, you should be able to find some models with a 2 inch screen. The inexpensive Canon PowerShot A460 or S30 are still around, and both have smaller screen sizes. An alternative, would be to find a lower priced NiMH battery pack and charger. Don’t buy the charger the camera shop salesman will try to up sell you on, as they’re generally more expensive than then same product at a discount store.
In the spirit of saving batteries, and keeping your costs down, make sure your camera has an optical viewfinder. That way, you don’t have to use the LCD screen all the time. Many LCD screens don’t work well outside in bright sunlight anyway. A lot of digital cameras these days (especially the least expensive) exclude the viewfinder.
