Get Your Camera Ready This Summer!

Posted on by

There’s never been a better time to invest in a digital camera for the holidays. Summer is right around the corner; days of beach trips, music festivals, lounging around on hot days, barbeques and Christmas parties. Summer is the archetypical Australian season, often bringing out the best of our climate. It’s a time for catching up with friends, family and enjoying the heat. If you want to make this summer special, you’ll want to capture the memories for the future – why not invest in a summer camera to keep a record of your adventures?

To keep your camera functioning well into the season, you’ll want to get it serviced. The constant heat and humidity of the Australian summer can take its toll on delicate camera components, causing zoom lenses to become sluggish or even causing the camera to malfunction. Kirk’s Camera Supply can service cameras to get them in prime condition for summer.

Kirk’s Camera Supply stocks a great number of cameras perfectly suited to the summer months. Many of these are highly portable, so you can slip them in your handbag or backpack and take them everywhere you go. Take, for example, the Panasonic DMC-TZ20. This comes complete with a nifty GPS tagging feature so you can find out exactly where your photos were taken in the future! It’s compact form factor, high image quality and touch screen make it perfect for taking on trips.

Ruggedness is important when choosing a camera for summer. You’ll want it to survive the wear and tear of on-the-go use, all whilst providing great performance and ease-of-use. The Olympus E-P3 combines top notch build quality with old school looks – with the trend towards all things ‘retro’, it’ll be sure to make you a hit this summer!

You’ll need accessories if you want to get your digital camera ready for the coming summer. Don’t stress out about filling your old camera SD cards – buy a few new ones to keep on hand. You’ll never need to worry about getting too ‘snap happy’ again! Not only will they provide you with all the storage space you need for high-quality images, but their fast transfer speeds make it a breeze to get your images on to your hard disk.

Let’s not forget about camcorders – you’ll want to make some great home movies this summer! We carry all manner of camcorders and accessories, including discs, memory cards and even tapes. A portable camera tripod will make shooting footage even easier – some of our models can even fit in your handbag and work great for still cameras too!

Olympus Announces New Micro 4/3 Model And Accessories

Posted on by

A new era of digital imaging begins today with the launch of the Olympus E-P1. The world’s smallest 12.3-megapixel interchangeable lens system camera blends the high-quality still images of a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) with High Definition (HD) video, stereo Linear PCM audio recording and In-Camera Creativity within an ultra-portable body. The easy-to-use E-P1 expands your creative horizons and its diverse multimedia features offer something for everyone. Built for today’s visual generation who lead active lives online and offline, the E-P1 will make you rethink what you can do with a camera.

Capture More of the Life You Live
Shooting spontaneous images of your daily life usually means snapping small, grainy images with your cell phone or using a point-and-shoot if it’s handy. A DSLR delivers incredible image quality, but most aren’t compact enough to roam with you. Now, the E-P1 changes the game with a compact body that delivers the professional quality images of a DSLR without the bulk. Moreover, its sharp HD video capture and stereo audio helps you live a better-documented life because you’re carrying one portable camera rather than a DSLR, an HD camcorder and a high-end audio device.

You can share more of your life with the world when the E-P1 travels with you. Make your Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter and personal blog postings unique by capturing and sharing more videos and photos. You can chronicle more of the life you actually lead, rather than just special occasions you prepare for, like weddings, holidays and birthday parties. Since it’s the only camera to offer in-camera art filters for both still photography and videos with high-end audio, even your everyday activities will look and sound amazing!

“The E-P1 is designed for the mobile, visual generation that lives active lives online and off, and its portability ensures that it will go with you wherever life takes you,” said John Knaur, senior marketing manager, Digital SLR, Olympus Imaging America Inc. “As someone who has shot with an SLR most of my life, I’m excited that SLR-quality images can be captured with a camera this compact and portable. The E-P1 truly allows you to capture it all with the highest still photo image quality blended with HD video, high-end audio, multiple exposure and creative art filters in one small, stylish camera.”
