Great little camera
2008-08-29I had this camera years ago and it was stolen. I repurchased because I liked it so much. I just had my pixs developed and they are great. Marge
Good camera for the $$
2007-03-08The camera is easy to use and takes great pictures in AUTO mode. Mode changing on the fly or in low-light conditions is difficult, however. The buttons on the top of the camera are small and function with a minimal depression, thus you need to be very exacting and know how many increments or pressings are required to get the features you want. In low light conditions, the typical black/grey LED display is VERY hard to read. Also, using the zoom and flash regularly, the battery loses enough charge after about 4-5 rolls of film that you need to wait 3-5 seconds for the flash to re-charge. This can cost you a shot under quick action conditions. Of course, for demanding photographic situations, a point and shoot in this price range will never be enough. The only other minor annoyance is the protruding lens which complicates storage in some bags or briefcases - however, this is only a minor issue. I was on a recent trip and cramped for space when this issue came up. Overall the camera is compact, lightweight, pleasant to shoot and takes good pictures; everything you come to expect from Canon.
Quite technical but good
2005-01-05I like this camera, the viewfinder doesn't really block the view, just a little bit in the bottom right of the bit you look through, but it doesn't affect the pictures at all.
I've taken good pictures with this camera.
It's got lots of technical settings and buttons...so that's a bit complicated. But when I get the hang of it I'm hoping to be a camera genius.
Do not buy Canon 150u
2004-05-20Viewfinder blocks the view. Faulty design. Do not buy this. Canon must stop making this camera. Recommendation to amazon to not carry it, as you will surely get customer returns

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc.
There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder.
Technology
It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents.
In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
