what does 30 frames per sec mean for digi camera?

I saw something that said 30 frames per second for canon powershot d10

does this mean you only get 30 seconds of video at a time?

also, in comparison to those two underwater digital cameras, (i’m not tech savvy, i just know good quality pictures when i see them) which has better chance of good pics at night time and of action shots?

30 frames per second means basically that it takes 30 snapshots every second to give you the video. You can film for as long as you want. Big-budget films shoot on film or transfer to film before distribution, and film plays at 30 FPS (Frames per second.) The camera is saying that it will make your video look more like a “Hollywood” film. Basically, the camera takes video that isn’t choppy.
As for your camera choice dilemma, I would probably pick the Canon. Actually, I would definitely pick the Canon. It’s better for low-light, and the focus is slightly faster.

Cute Digital Photo Frames

Has digital photography era actually degraded the photography?

I see people with digital cameras clicking hundreds of photos out of which none of them are worth preserving.
I have answered questions where people hold a digital camera and expect it to do everything on its own.
My neighbours use digital camera and their images are now lying in the card, hard disc, few on internet servers and a lot of them have been lost too.

My impression of the general population is that when the digital cameras were not in existance, people valued every frame and worked hard to create something. Those who had point and shoots, tried to learn and get the best out of it. A single roll of film gave prints worth keeping for long time.

Now I see people buying the costliest camera they can hoping to create photographs like Ansel Adams without even reading the instruction manual and understanding how to switch off the camera.

Do you also feel that digital has actually degraded the quality of photography ?

Before digital nobody took a bad photograph, ever, even with a compact or disposable. Even though there were cameras with programme modes and aperture priority from the mid 70s, until digital not one single person actually used them.

Do you not remember seeing people at partys holding a tape measure from the focal plane of their disposable cameras so they optimised the depth of field for the fixed focus lens? I know I do.

I have a film EOS camera, and it can shoot 8fps with the PB-E2 attached. Of course I never use that mode, as that is cheating. As a true photographer every frame has to count. I refocus after every shot (I actually asked canon to take the USM motor out of all my L lenses) and only ever meter with a hand held unit, and even then it’s a Cds unit, as these modern, accurate, reliable units are also, to the true photographer, cheating.

I show every body all my pictures, even the ones that didn’t work, as only then can they get a true idea of my talent. To cherry pick would be cheating.

I insist on contact prints only, as enlargements: yup, cheating, I can also minimise the risk of some unscrupulous printer dodging and burning, or even worse grading the print per slide, no no no, it has to be as it was on the film or thats cheating.

I don’t get all these cameras with auto modes? Why do folk want a camera that focuses manually, even racking moving subjects? Half the fun is wasting half your shots. And built in exposure meters? Sacrelige. Whats wrong with sunny 16 thoughtfully applied (remember your filters now)?

And so to the worst bit: Digital. Who in their right mind wants to see a goal on a website moments after its been scored? Whats wrong with carrying chemicals and dark box everywhere with you? Keeps you fit.

And yes I am kidding.

Digital is great. IMHO film is better for many applications, including landscapes, but for most people, most of the time, digital is great.

Yes folk can overshoot, but that’s their call.

The folk who take it seriously will still carry a tripod, will probably use manual mode, will understand the effects of the aperture and shutter, will understand hyperfocal distance and perspective.

I think it absolutely hypocritical that traditional photographers who have bitched for years about not being seen as ‘art’ now take a snobby stance against digital users.

Most of the great photographers used the best technology available to them at the time. Could Robert Capa have taken his civil war shots with a plate camera? Was Cartier Bresson cheating by not using a large format camera? What about all the vietmam pictures taken in OH MY GOD colour on Nikon F’s with OH MY GOD a light meter!

The skill is in knowing how to work your camera (i.e. get it to take a picture you like) understanding how to compose an interesting image, and knowing what to throw away and what to keep.

I learned on film, the hard way, the expensive way, but it made me what I am and didn’t diminish my love for the craft of ours.

If I had at the time the opportunity to view my images straight away, to see the effects of zooming with my feet, the effects of the aperture, the effects of deliberately under or over exposing, the effects of spot metering, would I have taken it?

Erm, Yeah!

Now that I have a digital SLR do i still dig out my film body and find a dark corner to load a roll of velvia? Do I still bump the meter iso slightly lower to over saturate? Do I still pick my location based on the time of day and where the sun is? Do I still check the tide tables and shipping forecast? Do I still lug my tripod and ball head and spirit level and cable release and filters up a hill in time for dusk? Do I still get excited when the processed box of slides drops through the door? Do I still leave my scanner on 16x pass, 16bit, 7200dpi and go back the following morning?

Yes.

Do I take my digitised shots into photoshop for tweaking?

Yes.

I am so fed up with the whole digital vs film and digital is bad doctrine.
It’s such a diverse discipline that you know what: each to their own.

The folk who don’t read their manuals? Fine. Up to them.
If they are getting better results then the problem isn’t them, maybe it’s your technique.

Why does it have to be a chore. I enjoy the whole manual bit, and my methodology is the same whether I’m on digital or on film. I get some hits, some misses, the hits make me glow more than the missed hurt.

I used to go to a camera club and there was one bloke there who’s first question to any new member was “What kind of camera do you have”

Not:
“What kind of photography do you do?”
“Who are your influences?”
“Can you show me some of your work?”

And as he always had the latest and best gear (though as I recall quite dull images) he would follow it up with “ha ha ha, you can’t take decent pictures with a XXXXXX”

My advice: concentrate on enjoying your own photography, however you do it. Cameras have never been better in technological terms (no matter the format) and never cheaper in real terms.

Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 Phone Review

Samsung Focus phone, with state-of-art Windows Phone 7 OS, a huge 4″ Super-AMOLED display and photo enhanced function for better viewing, and ultrathin body for grasping. Now let’s see Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 Phone for more details.

1. Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 phone—Body & Design

Samsung Focus cell phone is light and slim, with the dimension of 123 x 65 x 10 mm and weight of 115g, because of its plastic material. The streamlined body with ultrathin 9.9 mm thickness makes Samsung Focus glossy, elegant and grasp-friendly.

(1) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Front

Samsung Focus cell phone offers 3 virtual keys (Return, Menu and Search) underneath a 4-inch huge touchscreen. The logos of “Samsung” and “AT&T” on the face, as well as “Windows Phone” on the rear indicate its identity—Samsung Focus is a cell phone with windows Phone 7 OS and is co-developed by Samsung and AT&T.

a. Samsung Focus—Screen

The selling point of Samsung Focus cell phone is its vivid Super-AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 480x 800 high resolutions, which is ever applied to Samsung Galaxy series, bringing vivid viewing experience. Even in the open air, the image of screen is still vibrant.

b. Samsung Focus—Interface

The innovative interface of Windows Phone 7 OS breaks the stereotype, offering users different experience. Thanks to the WP7 OS, all the operation on Samsung Focus cell phone is smooth. It is worth mentioning that the screen switching and the speed of power on/off are faster and steadier than other phones. Samsung “Focus” focuses on every details, even the Samsung Hub and lock screen interface is also more authentic than that of HTC surround.

(2) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Rear

Samsung Focus cell phone is glossy with engineering plastic material and the drawing processing in the rear, which greatly improves its quality. Distinguished V-lines in the rear of Samsung Focus makes it seem to have a third dimension.

In addition, you will also notice an AF 5MP camera with LED flashlight and a loudspeaker on the rear side. After removing the rear cover, you will find SIM and microSD card slots, together with a 1500 mAh battery like Samsung Galaxy S. Please don’t remove the Micro SD card when it is in use, otherwise Samsung Focus will restore to factory reset. If you insert it again, everything will return to normal.

(3) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Keys and Ports

Top: a 3.5mm headset jack and microUSB port

Right: The power key of Focus is present on the right, which is not the same as most others that are found on the top side. You will also find a shutter key on the side.

Left: a volume rocker with chrome accented trim

2. Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 phone—Configuration

Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 phone comes with 1GHz Snapdragon QSD 8250 processor, but the 256MB of RAM seems to be slightly smaller than other Windows Phone 7 phones (512MB). But according to the news, Samsung confirmed they will offer 512MB RAM in November.

In addition, Samsung Focus cell phone also supports a microSD expansion slot for up to 40GB memory, including 4GB internal). When it comes to connectivity, Samsung Focus supports a 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, microUSB 2.0, A-GPS and more.

(1) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Camera

Samsung Focus windows phone 7 phone is impressive in terms of color restoration and details, with an AF 5MP camera with LED flashlight, but you can’t half press the shutter key to focus. Similar to HDR in iPhone, Samsung Focus adopts the WDR (wide dynamic range) technology, bringing a good performance on capturing still life photos. However, we are a bit disappointed with its 720P video recording effect with Low saturation and frame rate.

(2) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Battery

Some people are likely to be worried a 1500mAh battery of Samsung Focus can’t feed its electronic-guzzling functions, like those Sky Drive photo syncs. In the test, we find that Samsung Focus will keep on working for more than one day even on heavy days of calling, emailing, gaming and browsing. Focus will support about 2 days with moderate use. When it drops into 10%-15% of battery power, please remember to charge it ASAP.

(3) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Speech Quality

Samsung Focus Windows phone 7 phone has a good speech quality in normal environment. Although it supports dynamic noise reduction chip, the performance is not satisfied in noise test. Besides, Samsung Focus has high volume with powerful loudspeaker, but it will cause volume distortion at the same time.

3. Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 phone—Summary

Do you focus on this “Focus” phone? Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 phone is your best bet, which left us a deep impression on its vibrant super-AMOLED display, innovative Windows Phone 7 OS, and smooth & steady performance. We really hope more functions, like Fast Application switchover, copy and paste, will be applied to Samsung Focus cell phone in the near future.

How do I view edited photo on Digital Frame?

I can add text onto a photo, but my problem is still when I try to save/move the edited photo to the Digital Frame, the photo either does not show the text or the “format” is not recognized (although it is a .jpg) which is the only format this frame will accept.

any ideas how I can take my edited photo and get it on the digital frame? I can send you a sample, but I will need your email address.

even though it is a jpg, the compression, or type of jpg quality, may be the cause of glitch, try saving a copy of basic jpg, medium resolution around 144, and another, that has same measurement as view screen ,

check manual for compatible type of images or video, and check photo editor for save as export preferences,
