highest megapixel camera ever built image
Chris
I have an ipad and I was thinking about buying the new iPad 2 for my bday present. But then I heard about the nintendo 3ds and it sounds really cool but I don't kno witch one to buy now because both of them are really impressive. So should I stick with the ipad or should I get something new and different like the 3DS? And what would be some good reasons on why to buy the iPad 2 or the 3DS.
Answer
It all depends on what you want. Both devices are different. Here are some of their features, look through them and see which one suits you best:
Nintendo 3DS pro's:
-Can display full 3D without the need for special glasses
-It can take 3D pictures! Buying a camera that does this costs a lot, but you get it built in the 3DS!
-Higher quality games than the iPad has - 3DS games will last you a lot longer than iPad games, and will most probably be more fun
-You can watch movies and TV sports in 3D!
-You can buy and download additional game content and updates from the Nintendo e-shop
-It is smaller and lighter than the iPad 2, so it is more portable
-You can browse the internet, use facebook, youtube etc. just like on your PC
-You can play games online wirelessley
-You can add people to your 'friends list' - then you can see what games they are playing, you can play with them online, and you can send text messages, drawings (which you make with the 3DS touch screen) or pictures to them
-It can play augmented reality games - these games work by you putting a small card on your table. Then, the 3DS will make a game on your table! To see what I mean, click on the link below:

Here are some videos of how games look and play on the 3DS:

Nintendo 3DS cons:
-Even though it can take 3D pictures, it does so at a rather low resolution of 0.3 megapixels (640x480)
-The 3DS has a much shorter battery life than the iPad 2 (it only has 3-5 hours with the 3D effect on, and 5-8 hours with the 3D effect off)
-The 3DS touch screen is very good, however it isn't as responsive and sensitive as the iPad 2's
-Adding friends to your list can be annoying as you need to exchange 12-digit number codes to do so
iPad 2 pro's:
-It has a bigger screen the the 3DS
-It has a lot of free apps, the 3DS's cost money
-You can use live video chat just like with a webcam on your PC
-It has a longer battery life (it lasts roughly 9-10 hours)
-It is capable of faster web-browsing and internet usage
-It has more built in software
-It comes with a larger 'harddrive' (it comes with 16GB - 64GB, whereas the 3DS has 2GB)
iPad 2 Cons:
-Big games like Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, Super Mario and Assassin's Creed are almost never available for the iPad, and when they are it is often a cheaper, less fun version
-The iPad 2 costs a lot more than the 3DS (it costs a minimum of £325, whereas the 3DS can be found for a minimum of £195)
-The iPad 2 takes longer to charge up once the battery has drained
-It cannont take 3D pictures or 3D video like the 3DS, and its picture resolution is also very low (0.7 megapixels)
So really, its down to what you want. If price is an issue, then go for the 3DS as it can be found for up to £125 cheaper. If its not an issue, then look at what they can do. The 3DS will offer amazing 3D without glasses, it is also one of the first machines ever to take real 3D pictures, it allows you to watch 3D movies and sports, and will have better games. However, gaming is the main feature of the 3DS. So, if you don't like to play games, or only play them from time to time, then the 3DS might not be for you. The iPad is less portable, but offers live video chat, a better, larger screen along with more space to store pictures and videos, and faster internet connections.
I hope I've helped, and happy birthday!

Where can I find a very good SLR digital camera with at least 10mp or more would be better for sale?
RICHARD S
I NEED TO GET A BETTER CAMERA - I'M WANTING TO START PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS. ALL CAMERA'S ARE VERY EXPENSIVE EVEN ONLINE AUCTIONS! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE OR WHO MIGHT HAVE ONE FOR SALE? THANKS, YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
Answer
If you do not already have a camera system, I would recommend Nikon. I've been a Nikon user for years and I've used Canon as well. Both are excellent systems but my main reason for prefering Nikon over Canon is how easy they are to use. Settings that I change constantly from picture to picture are right there at my finger tips. I'm sure once you're used to a Canon it's just as easy, but it just seems that Nikon are more no-nonsense than Canon. Just my opinion, and an opinion that was formed after using both.
I have a photography business and I would not recommend buying anything you're planning to try and make a profit on from eBay. Any "retailers" you find online that have a deal that is just "too good to be true", is probably because it is. I bought my first DSLR on eBay and fortunately didn't get burned. But almost everyone else I know that tried to buy there has.
I always buy new from Adorama.com. They are a really reputable vendor who if you get a product from them and within their return policy decide that you don't like something, you can send it back, no questions asked.
As far as Nikon goes, I would recommend getting a D200 (10mp), or the new D300 (12mp i think). The D80 and the D40(x) are nice cameras, but they're not professional grade. They're not built to professional durability standards, and they don't use CF memory cards which are the professional standard. I personally have 2x D200's and LOVE them. I have them both with the optional vertical grip (which allows use of 2 batteries at a time in them instead of 1 without the attachment). This attachment makes taking vertical full body shots so easy!!
If you're going to be shooting mostly people... get a Fuji. They use Nikon lenses and have the absolute best color for people pictures of any DSLR available. Only bad thing, their operation is soooooo stinking SLOW!! The menus are confusing and every function on the camera goes at a snails pace. But the picture quality is amazing.
If you're on a budget, I would recommend buying really nice lenses (because lenses will stay current a lot longer than your digital body will) and buying a Nikon D70s. It's only 6mp, but megapixels don't make better images, they make bigger images. The more megapixels there are in your image, the bigger print you'll be able to make. (I shoot sports all the time with a Nikon D2h with it set on 2mp, and I print 5x7's and 8x10's all day with no distortion or pixelation to the images.) But yes, spend your money on the lenses and look into buying a used or refurbished D70s from Adorama (www.adorama.com). The D70s uses CF memory cards so whenever you have made some money and are ready to step up to a professional grade camera (or pro-sumer as the D200/300 would be) you won't have to reinvest in a whole new format of memory cards.
Not exactly sure what you're planning on shooting, but I shoot a lot of weddings, portraits, and sports... here are the Nikon lenses I use for all of my jobs:
Nikon 10.5mm fisheye
Nikon 12-24mm f/4
Nikon 17-55mm DX f/2.8
Nikon 70-200mm DX VR f/2.8
Nikon 80-400mm VR (use this for sports)
Which ever system you decide to go with, plan to stick with it for a long time. You'll be investing a lot of money into lenses and bodies and it'll be money wasted if a year from now you switch over to the other and then have to rebuy all your lenses for the other system.
Another thing... whatever you do... do not let some camera store jockey sell you on 3rd party lenses. Camera stores make more money selling you Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, etc. lenses than they do selling Canon or Nikon. Whatever system you have, buy those lenses. Canon and Nikon know how to make lenses for their cameras, and they know how to do it better than anyone else. Also, their glass is higher quality. You'll get what you pay for in buying the brand that goes with your camera.
Hope I was of some sort of help.... Just speaking from my own experience in getting situated with my own business and gear.
Don't forget when you buy, you'll need memory cards, I recommend SanDisk and Lexar, as I'm sure any other pro would do the same. Don't mess with off brands. Those are more prone to data loss than anything else. Also, you'll probably need a flash.... most cameras have them built in, but they generally don't sit high enough and can cast a shadow in the bottom of your pictures where the flash isn't reaching over the end of your lens. Also... buy spare batteries. When I bought my D200's I bought 3 batteries for each to make a total of 4 for each since I was planning on using the vertical grip attachment that allowed for the use of 2 batteries at a time.
Good luck!!
