Does what's claimed it will do, and does it well.2008-11-18
I would never have paid the full price for this labeler, but when Amazon offered it for around thirty bucks, I couldn't pass it up. I don't believe the software (for using the printer with a computer) is rated for Windows Vista, but it's supposed to work with everything below that. You have to provide the USB cable. I believe this printer was mainly designed to sell a lot of tape cartridges for Brother. The default setting has rediculously wide margins before and after a label's text. Even if you narrow the margins, or select "none", the leading edge still has nearly an inch of tape that you must cut off (it prints a mark to show you where). So, at the very least, you'll waste about an inch of tape for every label you make. The cartridges aren't cheap (about $11 and up). They're nice in the fact that you can change the cartridges out before they're empty. This means you can put different widths of tape in for different applications with no trouble or other waste. Changing the cartridge is simple. Each label is printed, cut, and ejected when you're done. It's expensive to operate, but if you can get one dirt cheap like I did, it's kind of worth it.
Great product!2008-11-17
This is a wonderful labeller. Very good quality and nice software.
Software and drivers were easy to install. Seriously, it's a very good product and a good buy.
P-touch Labeler2008-11-13
The P-touch PT-1950 from Brother has performed as expected and the little advertised fact that it can be controlled from your PC is the greatest feature. The software is so easy to use that I have not used the labeler's keyboard since I received the machine. This is an excellent value for a minimum outlay.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...

It's worthwhile to white balance every time you use your camera to get the highest quality video. If your camera doesn't have this feature, it may have an automatic or internal system. What white balancing does is adjust the intensity of the colors being recorded according to the existing light. Make sure you white balance every time the lighting conditions change; if you record video inside and then go outside, your lighting conditions have changed and you need to instruc ...
