Have digital cameras really changed that much in the last two years?

May 31, 2010 - 12:12 am 3 Comments

I bought a new digital camera about two years ago. Has the technology put into digital cameras changed a lot since then? Enough that I should look into investing in a new one? It works well but the picture quality isn’t excellent- especially if I don’t use flash and I like not using flash. Also, is it possible to upgrade the camera I already have- like you could a computer by having a new processor and software installed?

In the P&S arena, the image quality has not changed much, but the number of "features" has.

If you are happy with the image quality you have been getting with your current camera, don’t spend your money on a new camera.

The usual cycle is buying a new P&S camera every three to four years. Some people like have the latest toys, so they usually buy a new cell phone and camera every two years.

My neighbor still uses an over six year old Kodak P&S camera and it produces excellent images, good enough for posting on the internet and printing 4×6 inch photos. She also uses that camera to produce shots of products she makes an sells on craigslist and other e-Commerce sites.

What digital camera takes good indoor photos?

May 31, 2010 - 12:12 am 4 Comments

Hi, I’m looking for a regular point-and-shoot digital camera and I was wondering which one takes the best indoor photos? My Kodak camera I currently have takes horrible indoor photos and they always turn out yellowish and grainy. I would prefer a Sony, Canon, or Nikon that is under $120. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I would suggestion these are good quality digital cameras with price around $100-$120.

What do you call surveillance cameras that follow a target?

May 31, 2010 - 12:11 am 2 Comments

I’m trying to order some security cameras online, but I don’t want the cameras to record in place. I know they have cameras that are motion sense, but what is this type of camera called?

The Samurai CCTV system is a next-generation device able to autonomously identify and track individuals that act suspiciously in crowded public spaces. im not sure how expensive these are though. Depending on what your using it for you just need to buy a CCTV/surveillance camera with a built in tracking device .. their just called tracking surveillance cameras.

Waterproof Digital Cameras are the latest craze and you can totally understand why. When i purchased my Waterproof Digital Camera I had looked at several reviews to find the best rugged camera for me. Waterproof Digital Cameras allow you to shoot underwater to high depths and to also record in HD format. Their are times when you want to go to the beach with your digital camera but you are worried that they will get wet or dust inside of them that is why having a Waterproof Digital Camera is so Revolutionary.
No Longer will you have to plan your trips around your camera you can have the peace of mind that your Waterproof Digital Camera will stay intact and you can shoot some fantastic shots both on land and under the sea. I recently went on a cruise with my Waterproof Digital Camera where I travelled to Miami, Mexico, Grand Cayman, Jamaica & Haiti and it was my Best friend.
A Waterproof Digital Camera in the near future will no longer be a great concept or food for thought but a necessity. You now have the freedom to shoot whereever, whenever and whatever with your Waterproof Digital Camera.

CRIMINAL MISCHIEF ARREST
Two individuals have been arrested and charged with a criminal mischief offense, according to Sheriff Todd Entrekin.
“Haleigh Elizabeth Boland, 26, and her father Benny Gene Boland, 50, both of Boaz, was arrested and each charged with one count of first degree criminal mischief, which is a felony,” states Investigator Shane Hartley.
The Boland’s allegedly poured gasoline on a vehicle and set it on fire at a residence located on Carlisle Cut-Off Road in the Mountainboro community. The incident occurred on May 8th. Both daughter and father were arrested on May 18th.
Haleigh’s vehicle had been repossessed by an individual who live at the residence on Carlisle Cut-Off Road. In retaliation of setting the victim’s car on fire, Haleigh caught herself on fire.
“When contacting the victim, she stated a video camera was set up at the residence and captured the incident on tape,” states Investigator Hartley.
The video shows Haleigh catching herself on fire and taking off the burning clothes as she ran to a vehicle to drive away.
When Investigator Hartley interviewed the Boland’s, Haleigh confessed to being the individual seen in the video. She suffered first and second degree burns on her upper body.
Both Haleigh and Benny have been released on $2,500 bond each.
