How to Use Picasa Web to do Camera Research Posted: 04 Feb 2010 02:46 PM PST Are you thinking of buying a camera, but getting confused about the conflicting reviews and ratings on the models you’re interested in? Picasa Web Albums can be used for more than just sharing pictures. Ultimately, you can also search publicly available pictures on Picasa Web Albums as well, and if only you could select for shots taken by your potential new camera, you would have a huge selection of pictures to compare quality and range of function across models. Search by camera in Picasa Web Albums Picasa Web Albums has a new search function: you can now narrow down your picture search by camera model used. Here’s how you do it: Say, for example, you are interested in buying a Nikon D90. First, you’ve read some reviews but you really want to see what the camera is capable of by looking at some test shots. Picasa Web Albums has millions of public pictures you can sift through, and you can come up with an endless array of pictures taken with this camera. Surf to Picasa Web Albums. Enter a search query. To maximize results, I just typed in “.jpg”, because I am just interested in the type of camera taking the pictures, not what it in the pictures. Once you hit “Search Photos”, you will get a general results page. Now click on “show options”: A sidebar will open, and towards the mid-bottom of it you can select a camera model: When you click on “Camera Models…”, a search field will appear: Now, once you start typing automatically the suggested model numbers will appear: Once you have selected the model of your choice, your search is narrowed down to contain only the pictures taken by that camera. In this case, over 4000 pictures popped up. This is an amazing resource to look at camera options, and compare camera models. After all, a picture speaks more than a thousand words in a random review! Share this post!
