Apparently defective
2009-04-12The camera was all well and good in that it takes pictures, etc. You'll find that it suffers from many problems.
1) I've never seen a device so picky on batteries. They just say AA. But what you find out is that it eats through them in 6 photos. So you look online and find you need to go buy those expensive rechargables. Those did the trick and in the end were probably worth it, but that doesn't make it any less annoying.
2) I've had the camera for a year and a half I think...but I have left it on a shelf for probably a year. It has huge problems with staying on even after the battery thing is resolved. Now, regardless of battery type and how charged they are, the camera will not turn on at all. It immediately shuts right off with the lens still stuck out. Lots of folks have this problem. The solution is to send it to some no-name shop in NJ and pay God-knows-how-much for this.
Screw it, it's a piece of garbage. I will take delight and seeing what happens when I put it into a microwave.

2009-04-04I would give this 5 stars if I didn't have to pay a higher price for a refurbished camera to replace my daughter's which was lost after one month. It says alot for the model. It works very well but came without all the software that the new one had. A good camera for the price. I would recomend it!

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 ...
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 ...
