Nikon Coolpix S630

Reprinted with permission from HotTechBuys - >Nikon Coolpix S630

Nikon Coolpix S630The sleek little Nikon Coolpix S630 is a great option for any kind of user, taking finely detailed photos or high quality movies. It may look great from a distance but in your hands it is surprisingly small. In fact despite its high performance and wide array of features, it is housed in one of the smallest body of any similar camera.

At 12 megapixels, every photo comes out so sharp you can enlarge parts or crop others without fear of losing any picture quality. The 7x Zoom-Nikkor lens gives you the ultimate shooting flexibility by allowing you to shoot images both far away and as close as 60 cm from the lens. Flowers, sunsets, or children, every subject comes out crisp and beautiful. The most common problem the average person has is blurry images, but with electronic 4-way VR image stabilization, a shaking hand won’t ruin an entire photo, even if you are shooting in a low-light environment. Also, when shooting in darker spots, the Coolpix employs an ISO well beyond its peers (ISO 6400), letting you get brighter photos even with less natural light.

Many of the hardest parts of photographing your friends have been solved by Nikon cameras. For example, their smart face-priority AF searches the frame for faces, keeping the focus on eyes and smiles instead of whatever happens to be near them. Plus, you may never see a red eye again, since Coolpix reduces red-eye with a pupil-shrinking pre-flash, and then auto-corrects the red-eye in photos before saving it to memory.

Ritz Interactive Named to Internet Retailer's HOT 100 Best Web Sites

IRVINE, CA., December 4, 2008, - Ritz Interactive, Inc., the e-commerce network that includes RitzCamera.com, WolfCamera.com, BoatersWorld.com and other leading online-shopping sites have been named to Internet Retailer's 2009 Hot 100 Best Retail Web Sites.

The Internet Retailer's Hot 100 Web Sites offer many lessons on how to inspire, inform and serve web site shoppers, and also how to reach out beyond ecommerce sites to connect with consumers. The Hot 100 Web Sites were chosen for their innovations that go beyond the primary web site and their performance metrics which include response time, site availability and consistency.

According to Ritz Interactive president and CEO Fred H. Lerner, "We have a very straightforward philosophy; we present our customers with options. This stretches from payment options; whether it is credit cards, Google Checkout, PayPal or Bill Me Later, or choices in navigation methods and customer service." "We're all about convenience to our customers."

The company pays a lot of attention to providing reviews. "The reviews are excellent," says Mark Lee, principal at consulting firm The Mark Lee Group. "First, there's the company's thorough review. Next, a summary chart of the objective rating by all customers." He also likes that the site displays the percentage of reviewers in various categories, such as "Getting Started," "Casual Photographer," and "Professional."

The reviews and ratings, powered by PowerReviews, are so helpful that Ritz Interactive has begun promoting a product's rating before the visitor even gets to a product page. For example, when a popular item is featured on the RitzCamera.com home page, a high rating is listed directly below the image. "It's one of the most desirable features on the site," commented president and CEO Fred Lerner. "People like to buy what other people like."

The Ritz Interactive web sites also provide several other ways visitors can obtain information about a product, including major manufacturer showcases, videos and live chat.
