17-55 mm f/2.8 G IF-ED AF-S DX Zoom Lens-Nikkor

17-55 mm f/2.8 G IF-ED AF-S DX Zoom Lens-Nikkor

The AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED significantly expands the range of DX-Nikkor lenses and is expected to become the standard lens for Nikon digital SLR camera users. By virtue of being DX-Nikkor, designed exclusively for DX-format image sensors in Nikon’s digital SLR cameras, this new lens is not only compact and light-weight, but also offers outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness and image quality. The Nikon’s first constant f/2.8 3.2x zoom lens developed exclusively for use with Nikon DX Format 3.2x zoom covers from a wide angle of 79-degrees to a narrow angle of 28-degrees 50′ (equivalent to 25.5mm to 85.5mm for 35mm format) and is ideal for architecture, landscape, groups shots and portraits. DX design enables a combination of wider angle-of-view with optical characteristics that are optimized for Nikon digital SLR camera sensors Nikon DX design produces a smaller image circle (the size of the image that is projected by the lens on to the sensor) enabling smaller lens diameter, lighter weight and optimal image quality from center-to edge-to-corner on the image 3 Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for minimized chromatic aberration and provide higher resolution and superior contrast 3 Aspherical lens elements for minimized distortion Lightweight and compact design: similar to 17-35mm f/2.8 lens Exclusive Silent Wave Motor enables ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful super-quiet operation [M/A] and [M] modes allow rapid switching between AF and MF operation Internal Focusing (IF) design for smoother focusing and great body balance Nikon D-type design provides precise distance information for flash and ambient light exposure processes Rounded diaphragm to make out-of-focus elements appear more natural G Type DX Nikkor is designed exclusively for use with Nikon Digital SLR models Fully Compatible with D1, D1X, D1H, D2H and D100

Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder with 48x Advanced Zoom Silver

The FS100 is one of Canon’s first Flash Memory camcorders. In addition to the advantage of added recording time, Flash Memory offers quick response time, because it doesn’t have to wait for moving parts. The FS100′s lower power consumption rate allows your battery to last longer. Measuring only 2.3″ wide, 2.4″ high and 4.9″ deep, it combines big video storage capacity in a small, easy to carry body. The 2.7″ Widescreen LCD on the FS100 lets you see more of what your camcorder is recording. With the FS100 you get a powerful 1.07 Megapixel CCD image sensor. The video you shoot will be sharp, clear and more true to life, as will your still photos. The Genuine Canon 48x Advanced Zoom on the FS100 extends the power of your zoom. In both wide angle and telephoto positions, there is virtually no loss in image quality throughout the range. The Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor is the next generation of Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing technology to ensure optimal image quality for still images, even though video and still images have different color requirements.

12-24 mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens

12-24 mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens

The DX Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G lens – designed to operate exclusively with Nikon D-Series digital SLR cameras and their DX Format sensors – was developed as the first lens in a new F-Mount autofocus DX-Nikkor interchangeable lens category. The DX 12-24mm f/4G lens is designed to address the need for wider angle-of-view, high- performance optics for digital SLR photography and is optimized for DX Format sensors used in Nikon digital SLR cameras. Designed for Nikon D-Series digital SLR Design enables a combination of wider angle-of-view with optical characteristics that are optimized for Nikon digital SLR camera sensors 2x Zoom ratio and variable angle-of-view from 99 degrees at 12mm to 61 degrees at 24mm. Comparable to that of an 18-36mm lens on 35mm size sensor format Nikon design that produces a smaller image circle (the size of the image that is projected by the lens on to the sensor) enabling smaller lens diameter, and optimal image quality from center-to-edge-to-corner on the image Exclusive Silent Wave Motor enables ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful super-quiet operation 2 Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for minimized chromatic aberration 3 Aspherical lens element for low distortion Internal Focusing (IF) design for smoother focusing and great body balance M/A mode enables instant switching from autofocus to manual with virtually no time lag even during AF servo operation Nikon D-type design provides precise distance information for flash and ambient light exposure processes Rounded diaphragm to make out-of-focus elements appear more natural DX Nikkor is designed exclusively for use with Nikon Digital SLR models 11.8 close focusing distance throughout zoom range Atypical of lenses with similar focal lengths, the DX 12-24mm f/4G lens is very compact and lightweight, offering a 2X Zoom ratio with an unprecedented angle-of-view from 61o at 24mm to 99 o at 12mm. This range of angle-of-view is comparable to that of an 18-36mm lens on the 35mm format. The lens also incorporates many of Nikon’s advanced technologies including Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SI-C), Silent Wave Motor Technology (SWM), Extra Low Dispersion Optical Glass (ED) and a G-Type design. Nikon digital SLR photographers have enthusiastically enjoyed the inherent benefits of the DX Format sensor size used in Nikon D-Series SLR cameras. Each original 35mm lens achieves a 1.5x factor for angle-of-view when used with Nikon D-Series digital SLR cameras, enabling smaller and lighter lenses to emulate the angle of view of normally larger, heavier and more costly optics. With the introduction of the new DX 12-24mm f/4G lens, photographers can now enjoy the benefits of Nikon’s DX Format Sensor size on the wide-angle end of the lens spectrum. Revolutionary in terms of its compact size, weight, zoom ratio, optical performance and angle-of-view out to an exceptional 99-degrees. Nikon designers determined that by reducing the diameter
