Get the right size digital memory

http://www.photos-of-the-year.com/

You don't need to rebut, and you are welcome to keep using cheap 1 gig cards to feed your cameras for all time, as far as I am concerned. How many RAW shots do you get with a 1 gig card on a 10 MP digital camera like Canon 40D? How much card swapping do you have to do in a busy day of shooting? How do you store full cards after you swap them? If you really own a photo lab, and really see multiple zapped CF cards every week, you support my perspective, even though you are not wiling to think it through. Recent generation, large capacity cards have a far longer mean time between random failure than older, smaller cards. That is simply a function of the advance in technology (paralleled by the hard drive, and CPU industries), and is not subject to serious debate. It is what it is, and it is a super fine record of longevity that has been built by high capacity cards. The fact that you claim to see so many zapped CF cards each week (I doubt it, but you claim it to be true) also supports my contention that if you have a highly reliable large capacity card, and don't mess with it, you will likely never have problems with the card over a lifetime of heavy use. When you pop CF cards in and out of the camera slot every time you transfer images, or every 80 shots or so that it takes to fill up a small card, you beg for trouble in the form of worn contacts, and zapped cards. You would be better off offering your customers sound advice, rather than steering them along the flawed path of understanding that you have adopted as flash card religion. Tell your customers to leave their cards in their cameras, transfer images via USB, and deliver images for you to print on CD ROM disks, or DVD disks. The reports of "zapped" cards that you see, or hear about will pretty much go away, as your old advice was driving the problem, and not helping to prevent it. Good luck, and I hope that your retail printing abilities exceed your your understanding of silicon technology, and it's various modes of failure. By the way, do you know why the Boeing 777 only has two engines, yet is rated for trans-oceanic flight, while common wisdom, and regulation declared that four engines were better at the time it was built? It has to do with the same myth that proclaims that many small CF cards are better than one ultra reliable card that is most often left alone in the camera slot.

Is It A Waste Of Money To Purchase Fake Security Cameras?

While staying safe is the main objective, it can become quite costly to completely surround your house or business with security cameras. But implementing fake security cameras into your system can save you money while giving intruders the same worry. Adding dummy security cameras can be a great way to boost the security around your home. There are several companies that sell fake security cameras that are built to look like an actual security camera. Many even move and follow intruders just like real cameras would. While it will not send back video like real cameras, they can be equally effective in deterring intruders. If you do opt to go with dummy security cameras, you may want to consider placing them somewhere where an intruder can see it. When you have real cameras, you would typically hide them so that burglars do not know they are being watched. But that would do you know good with a fake camera. The goal of a fake camera is to scare away any intruders. What more and more people are beginning to do is integrate fake security cameras with real ones. This allows you to have real footage coming from the main entrances of your home and fake cameras in other areas. It will save you loads of money as oppose to having legitimate cameras surrounding your house. If you can be warned with your real cameras in the front yard and scare off the intruder on the side of the house with your fake camera, you can remain safe and unharmed. There are some things you may want to consider prior to purchasing a fake camera. The first thing you want to look at is purchasing the right kind of camera style for the job. You would be amazed at how aware burglars are of security systems. If you have a fake security camera that does not look like it works at night but you are using it at night, it is going to stick out like a sore thumb. Also, try to match your fake cameras with the real ones if you do choose to integrate the two together. Prior to purchasing any cameras, you will also want to carefully consider the number and placement of your cameras. While you do want your dummy security cameras to be seen, you do not want them to be placed too conspicuously. You want the intruder to notice the camera without realizing that you want them to notice it. Try to place an appropriate number of cameras around the house as well. If planned correctly, fake security cameras can be of great value to you. Whether you want to just go with fake cameras or integrate them with real ones as well, it all depends on personal preference. Obviously you will get the most out of real security cameras. But dummy security cameras can save you money and effectively startle intruders. Description: Implementing fake security cameras into your system can save you money while giving intruders the same worry. Adding dummy security cameras can be a great way to boost the security around your home.(Wed Dec 5th, 2007, by Ron McBride)

LG KG800 Review - A Review of the LG KG800 Cellular Phone

(Tue Dec 4th, 2007, by Jonathan Baker)

Upon first glance, it's easy to see why the LG KG800 (also known as the Chocolate) won the 2006 IF Design Award in Germany for its fresh and innovative design. One such example of innovation is the hidden display and a touchpad that is invisible when not in use, but glows red when in use. Currently only available in black, the Chocolate is something to see and be seen with. Still, this phone is more than just a pretty package and comes equipped with more features than one would expect to find in a phone. Moreover, each feature is notably high quality.

The camera, for instance, isn't the run of the mill one that one tends to find in cell phones these days. Instead, it's a powerful 1.3 megapixel camera and video recorder that has a powerful flash, ensuring each photo taken is one worth saving. The multi-shot feature enables the user to take nine consecutive shots and once they're taken, the camera is capable of zooming up to four times the original size. Brightness, white balance, timer and effect are bonuses that round out this aspect of the Chocolate.

Thanks to the 262,000 color TFT screen, users won't miss a thing. The display of images, video and menu icons are high quality and vibrant. When owners are finished editing photos or watching videos, they can enjoy the built in MP3 player that supports MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA files.

With the Chocolate, boring polyphonic ringtones will be a thing of the past. Now, music files can be set as ringtones and the graphic equalizer with six different sound effects will make sure the phone is heard loud and clear when somebody calls. Bluetooth technology enables hands free talking and because the phone has Tri-band technology, the phone can be used in most countries.
