Online Camera Deals
Where can I get the best deal online for a digital SLR camera.?
I want atleast 10.2 megapixels and a large LCD viewfinder. Camera will be used to take pictures of wildlife and scenery in Nevada. Thanks.
BTW: I have a budget of about $700
The absolute best deals and best selections come from www.adorama.com
For what you want to do with that budget, I wouldn’t be so concerned about megapixels (thought there are some options for 10.2 megapixels.) If you were to go with 6 or 8 megapixels (all that any amateur needs) you could spend the rest on a good lens, which is where the REAL image quality comes out. Consumers obsess over megapixels, when they’re really not that important. Remember that it is a measurement of area, a square function, so a 10 megapixel image is NOT twice as wide as a 5 megapixel one. A 25 megapixel image would be, though. However, all that you need to make 4×6 prints at 300dpi (standard high-quality prints) you only need 3.2 megapixels. Yeap. So, spend money on good, fast, sharp lenses. Shooting wildlife, you’re not going to be able to get that close without spooking the animal, so I would recommend a lens with a length of at least 200mm, preferably 300mm.
Ideally I would spend just a bit more than you want to and get a camera with a faster autofocus and continuous shutter speed, but you can get a Nikon D40x (discontinued) refurbished body from Adorama for $450. It has 10.2 megapixels (like you want) and is a real Nikon, meaning you’ll be using some of the best lenses in the world. Or, you could get the regular D40 (6.1mp) outfit and you’ll have an extra lens (18-55) for landscapes and people for about the same price.
Then, you could get a plain old Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens for only $135. This will do the job, yes, and you’ll only spend $585 total, but I will highly recommend the VR version of this lens. The VR will let you take pictures in lower light using faster shutter speeds than normal, since it helps get rid of blur caused by hand shake. Not only that, but this version of the lens uses much higher quality glass and will yield much higher quality images. It does cost $479, though, which will put you at $929, a good bit over budget. However, since you are on a budget, we can compromise with the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG lens. It’s not nearly as nice as the Nikon VR ED IF version of this lens, and it doesn’t have VR, but it is a lot cheaper at only $170. Buy a good monopod to carry around with you and it will be just as good as VR, just not as portable. When you buy a nice fast SD card (get a 4GB or two; you’ll want the space on your trip), you’ll be right at or just slightly over your budget.
So, our shopping list is:
Nikon D40x (refurbished) or Nikon D40 kit $450
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG lens $170
4GB fast SD card $60
monopod roughly $50
TOTAL roughly $730
Lenses are the second most important part of your camera, so don’t skimp on them, but most the most important part is taking the photographs themselves. Enjoy that and have fun on your trip!

Online Validation of Visual Model Transformations $138.61 Modelbased approaches in development are widely recognized as a potential way of increasing productivity in software engineering. Modelbased development is driven by model transformations. There is a demand for researching the ways how model transformation can become more flexible, efficient, and highlyconfigurable as well as validated. This thesis addresses issues of visually defined validated model transformations. The first contribution deals with the relationship between the pre and postconditions and the Object Constraint Language (OCL) constraints enlisted in model transformation rules. This construct provides the background of an online validated transformation approach. The second result group provides an aspectoriented constraint management approach to solve the problem of the crosscutting constraints. This method facilitates consistent constraint management in model transformation rules, furthermore, it makes the constraints as well as the transformation rules reusable. The third contribution includes the realization a visual control flow language (VCFL).
