cameras

I have a lovely large fancy camera, but I want a small point and shoot for times I can't or don't want to carry all that extra weight. I have a cannon that is about 3 pounds that is also nice. But still too big. I have been looking at a nice little Nikon and there is the whole Panasonic...

Alright, I stumbled across this video on youtube and found it to be very interesting (or atleast I thought so) daAayhSpxw8 I found it a little confusing so I also asked him a question about it which I'll also include for those of you who may also be confused after seeing the video: Why...

Linky I'm wondering how they will deal with the volume of e-mails and respond in a timely enough fashion to catch anyone. Perhaps that's what this "test run" is for. I suppose it's a good thing that they're doing one at all. Thoughts on the proposed plan?

Anyone had experience of Wifi video cameras? To be used as a webcam / security cam / burglar alarm. I know Linksys now sell a wireless g model, but I'm interested in the miniature security models available for about 25% of the price. These cameras evidently broadcast in the 2.4GHz...

We allow cameras in the lower courts, depending on the case, the judge, and the public interest. Never (TMK) have we had cameras in the Supreme Court. I think we should. I can think of NO case and NO reason why public presence would subtract from the process. Public trials are supposed to be...

I've been looking for info on this a bit, and I should look some more, but thought I would take the easy way out and ask here. I want to get a better digital camera than the Canon A70 I use now. I used to use a Nikon FG a while back, but the film winding mechanism broke and I was told it would...

The thread on telescope building got me wondering. As digital cameras take over the SLR film camera market, what is going to happen to the millions of high quality lenses now gathering dust in cupboards all over the world? Anyone got a bright, million dollar idea?

The government consultation regarding allowing cameras into courts is due to be published today. (See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4011829.stm) It has often seemed an anachronism to me that cameras are not allowed into court sessions. Even more so once they were allowed into the Houses of...

My digital camera has tossed its toys out of the pram and refuses to play nicely. It powers up OK and can detect whether or not a flash card is present but then only displays the message "Please wait". The PC occasionally detects a malfunctioning USB device when it is plugged in. I suppose the...

I heard this on a phone-in show on the radio today... Here in Ottawa, the city has banned all cameras from public swimming pools. Many people feel that its a very heavy-handed tactic, since it will prevent parents (or other relatives) from taking pictures of their own kids. The argument for the...

In my documentary class one group just filmed in a "haunted" location. They had problems with their fully charged batteries draining as they walked inside, with their cameras turning on and off (while in the "off" position) and turning off when they hit record, just to turn back on and keep...

I do not own a camera. I expect that I may want to take some photos at TAM2, however, and I am considering buying some disposable cameras. I note that there are disposable conventional film cameras and disposable digital cameras. Can anyone list the advantages and drawbacks of each?

A friend of mine called me yesterday saying he had by error erased some pictures from his digital camera (but had not replaced them with anything new), and asked if there was anyway they could be rescued. I answered that I was almost sure it couldn't be done. It can be done with Harddrives...
