Can someone name me some phones with very good mp3, high megapixel camera, and great design?

Joe Campbe

Answer
I like my cingular sync. High Mega-pixel being 2.0, but it is worlds above most others that are only 1.3. Almost twice as clear and you can hold a lot of pictures or songs if you buy memory. I don't really use the MP3 player, but it did come in handy once when we were playing pool and the jukebox wasn't working.
I recommend it. I am very happy with it.
By the way, I've played with chocolates and I don't find them as user friendly. the LG 500 seemed alright to me, but the sync just seemed better to me.

If you already have a smartphone, will you still buy digital camera and digital camcorder?

religion t

Your smartphone support high megapixel photographing and high quality video recording
1) since you already have a smart phone, you won't buy another digital camera and digital camcorder
2) even though you have a smart phone, you still want a digital camera for better picture quality, but not digital camcorder(since digital camera can do video recording too)
3) you want all of them, each for different usage, smartphone, digital camera, digital camcorder

Answer
In the first place phone cameras (if you can call them that) are well known world wide as junk.

Many dslr cameras today, I'm thinking of the Canon Rebel line, do a very nice job with video recording.
I use my Canon to do video all the time.

I say that about phone cameras because they have a sensor that's smaller, much smaller, than a woman's pinky nail - lack of size means lack of quality.

dslr cameras have a sensor many, many times larger - bigger means better technical quality.

What is the best camera phone to buy for under £100?

Jamie A

I am not interested in other functions such as MP3 player as I have an ipod.

http://www.freewebs.com/fabflashgames

Answer
PC World, Kodak M853 8 megapixel / 3x optical zoom - £99.89 was £189.89 (also available in black - you want black if you want to do wildlife) or in red.

Kodak Easyshare Z710 DIGITAL CAMERA - Digital Camera
(551886) - also worth a look - 7 Megapixels and a whopping 10x optical zoom - a typical "high zoom" model, the lens barrel area on them usually looks large, more like a DSLR - PCWorld again, only link to it is sessioned!

Source: Z710 Review .. Conclusions are pretty damning, the lack of stabilization being a problem at high zoom and other problems, this is not the dream that it appeared to be - Read the review, if you can live with its failings, this is a camera with a zoom capability equivalent to 38-380mm on a 35mm film camera.

Going to Argos, they beat PCWorld's Fuji A900 with an A920 for a similar price

Of course, if you want to budget for some media in the price, need to set the sights a little lower.

Please help. Is a camera, not digital a piece of technology?

highest megapixel camera phone world image

Kavine C

I have a buddy who believes that technology is ruining everything. yet the individual is a photographer. so i want to explain that the camera itself is a piece of technological ingenuity. please help me build a case to explain to this person how contradictory his belief is.
the argument dosen't lie if its new or old technology but if its technology itself. a 100 year old human and a 1 year old human are both still human. even if its not a breakthrough it does not alter the fact of its origin. a piece of technological ingenuity

Answer
Of course today's digital cameras are a piece of "technological ingenuity", and with each year that passes they will become more and more advanced. For example, I think within the next 5 years we will see affordable full frame sensor DSLR's for the masses.

But is this technology "ruining everything".. Hmm, well for photography as an art I believe that the sheer amount of cameras in the world today, plus the popularity of the internet and the ability to view billions of images online, has seriously affected peoples perception of what constitutes a good photo. Today's digital cameras will not last more than a few years before they pack up and die. Even the top of the range DSLR's have a lifespan of 300,000 clicks (yes that's a lot, but it is still a limited lifespan). Plus with every camera bought, it is obsolete in a few months by the next latest and greatest wonder camera. The camera companies love making people think that their perfectly adequate last years model is in some way inferior to this years new release, usually by feeding them the Megapixel Myth.. http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm

Now I have a collection of MF and 35mm cameras. A couple are from the 1930's and still function as good as the day they rolled off the production line 80 years ago. Many of the cameras in my collection have no electronics, a few do not even need batteries!, so they will continue to function perfectly well beyond even my lifetime... A Canon 450D bought today?... Give it 5 years and it is fit for the bin. Some cheaper P&S digital cameras?, even less than that. So technology is ruining something, it is ruining the environment. The capacitors used in today's digital cameras are extremely polluting both in their manufacture and disposal. Batteries are of course bad for the environment, as are plastics and the production of digital sensors (a high reject rate). Now I'm going to steer away from the environmental part of the issue because to be honest, I don't hold particularly strong views on it.

I have a camera I will use as an example.. I have a Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/2 medium format camera. Produced in the 1930's, no electronics, just a nice lens and a nice format. The resolution of this camera rivals today's DSLR's, and it costs around £10 from eBay. You select the aperture, you select the shutter speed, you set the focus distance, and you press the shutter release... That's it!... And that's all photography is about!.. All the silly gadgets and gizmos manufacturers are cramming into todays DSLR's are utterly unnecessary to 99% of people buying them. Does somebody who wants to take snaps of their daughter in her school play need 15mp and 10 fps?.. Of course not. Yet consumers are lapping it up every year, selling their DSLR's and buying new ones because they have GPS or an extra MP...

When you consider what photography is actually about it does not matter how it is recorded, whether it is on a camera phone, a pinhole camera, a 35mm rangefinder, a DSLR, or a Hasselblad H4D, the end result is all that matters... But technology is turning people into lazy photographers. People no longer bother or want to learn about exposure, why bother?.. The camera will do a half-assed effort on your behalf.

I've said it before and I will say it again.. Digital is the best AND the worst thing to happen to photography as an art.

What is a good quality but not too expensive camera for an aspiring professional photographer?

christian

I currently use Camera Plus and Best Camera on my iphone and several other digital enhancement applications but I'll eventually need something with higher MP.

Answer
Whoa! Slow down, Scooter.

Higher megapixels is the least of your concerns if you want to move from where you are now to taking professional photos. You need to develop your photographic skills. You could jump start it and take courses in photography. In that case, you will buy whatever type camera the course requires. I do not recommend taking a course that requires a film camera because it is likely that it will be the only time you use a film camera. So it's an unwise investment. While there are devotees to that dying technology, there really is no future in it for an aspiring professional photographer.

If you don't care to go the formal education route -- as many photographers -- go to http://dpreview.com for objective reviews of what's out there. In my opinion, the next step from a cell phone camera would be a compact camera. Others will advise you to jump right into the dSLR world. However, they are more expense and complex. Moreover, you probably do not have the photographic skills that would allow you to get maximum benefit from them. That would be the next step when you come to the point where your compact camera no longer fulfills your technical needs.

business question "antique mall owner needing security camera system" which is the best to buy?

highest megapixel camera phone world image

sbarber

Just trying to get input from someone that has an antique mall of similar business. I want to purchase a camera system that I can set up in "EACH" booth or atleast every other booth. Some can be dummies but I would like for atleast half of them to be the real deal. I ahve heard of dealers using globes and dummy cameras to deter thieves; does this work?
What system would you recommend and please don't say a 10,000 one, I cant afford that at the moment.

Answer
Hello

Dummy cameras are the worst possible they don't provide security and if someone is injured or claims to be injured in your store they can sue for providing a false sense of security. No professional security installer uses dummy cameras.

Here is a DVR that will work perfectly for you.

http://www.ascendentgroup.com/x4s.htm

I would recommend a Standalone DVR as they are more reliable and since they are linux based they are virus ans spy ware free.

The X4S Series DVR is an intelligent and professional CCTV management solution, integrating the latest technology and the most advanced features while maintaining a simple, intuitive, and graphical interface. The X4S Series DVR is a 24/7 turn key solution that meets demanding security needs to suit industrial and commercial applications. The X4S DVR is compatible with the X4 platform, allowing it to act as an IP server, while still remaining a standalone solution and allows you to view your cameras instantly over the internet with a PC or cell phone like the I-phone.

also here is some information on DVR and cameras you may want to read before buying a CCTV system.

Not all DVRs and security equipment are created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of DVRs you can find the equivalent of a $10,000 Kia and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels and windshield but that where the similarities end, itâs under the hood that counts. Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for.

I suggest you buy a PC based DVR has they have more processing power and normally have a much smaller file size and offer more features then Standalone DVR's. I know many people buy a cheap standalone DVR, only to upgrade to a PC based in 6 months especially when they are using it to manage a store remotely. Also PC based allows you to record up to 64 cameras where a standalone will have a limit of 16.

Many people have the misconception that a PC-Based DVR is simply an off-the-shelf PC with video capture (encoder) cards, display (decoder) cards and some generic OEM software. A true DVR requires years of research and development to facilitate the seamless integration of both the hardware and software. DVRs are highly complex systems that must run 24/7, processing millions of images per day. This makes consumer-level hardware inadequate for DVRs which is why Ascendent uses custom-built PCs with performance-level hardware.

My personal favorite DVR is Ascendent X4 series: Ascendentâs Tri-Fusion Hybrid Platform allows for the creation of a true hybrid surveillance system by utilizing the advantages of Analog, Megapixel, and IP technologies for unparalleled customization and expandability.

The X4 also uses the latest H.264/SVC codec offer video substantially better quality,. While its file size sizes is 30% smaller than MPEG-4, 60% smaller than MPEG-2, and exponentially smaller than MJPEG.

File size is crucial to streaming because most DVRâs on the market record at real time performance (30FPS per channel) so on a 4CH is trying to send 120, 8CH 240, and a 16CH 480 images per second which requires way too much bandwidth even for the most extreme internet connections.

The smaller the files size the more images are able to be sent, and the faster they can be processed improving both FPS and speed. File size is the heart of any DVR and goes far beyond just its streaming capabilities, as it also determines the recording storage time, how much you can back up at once, how fast it renders and searches video. The file size of a DVR impacts the performance of the DVR in just about every aspect from speed to longevity and is often the most important spec of any DVR.

If you are buying a DVR and streaming is a high priority I suggest you ask for a demo and connect to the DVR to make sure it is able to stream fast enough for your needs. Most DVRs say they have remote viewing but it is often too slow and laggy to be of any use especially if it is a standalone. Some good DVR brands that I recommend are Bosch, Pelco, Honeywell and Ascendent. These brands are what security professionals use.

I recommend Ascendent as they are less expensive because they cameras for companies like Bosch and Pelco and offer better performance but any of these 3 brands will work well.


These brand manufacturers also have a complete line of CCTV cameras and DVR for any application from residential to military and stand behind there warranties. You want to get a good bran name otherwise you will likely buy a product that work and cant be returned.

What are the differences between the Sidekick LX and the Sidekick Slide?

Jason R

i.e. features, music players, cameras, screens, prices. Has Motorola added any new features too the slide and has Hiptop added anything new to the LX?

Answer
OK, kids--hope you've been nice this year, because here's something you might want to add to your holiday wish lists. Today, T-Mobile announced not one, but two new Sidekicks to be added to its lineup: the T-Mobile Sidekick LX and the T-Mobile Sidekick Slide.
Let's start with the latter since it brings something new to the mobile messaging device: a slide-up screen (all together now: oooohhh, ahhhh). Unlike previous models, which have been manufactured by Sharp/Danger, the Sidekick Slide is made by Motorola and features a smaller design. It measures 4.6 inches wide by 2.6 inches high by 0.6 inch deep and weighs 5.3 ounces, while the T-Mobile Sidekick 3 comes in at 5.1 inches wide by 2.3 inches high by 0.8 inch deep and 6.7 ounces and the Sidekick iD is 5.1 inches by 2.4 inches by 0.8 inch and 6.2 ounces. And hallelujah--it has a higher resolution screen at 320x240 pixels and 65,000 colors. The Slide still has all the messaging options that made the Sidekick popular in the first place, including a personal T-mail account, support for POP3 and IMAP e-mail, integrated AIM, Windows Live, and Yahoo instant messaging clients, and text and multimedia messaging. The quad-band phone also supports the new MySpace Mobile application (a separate download), which you can peep on the phone's Web browser that is said to have better JavaScript support. Other goodies include Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera with no (!!) video-recording capabilities, and a music player that requires the use of a microSD memory card but supports MP3 and AAC files. The Sidekick Slide will be in stores starting November 7 for $199.99 with a two-year contract.
The T-Mobile Sidekick LX goes the more traditional route in terms of design with its swivel screen. The LX is made by Sharp, and fortunately the company also decided to improve the device's mug with a larger 3-inch, 65,000-color TFT display and 400x240 pixel resolution. It's trimmed down a bit in weight at 5.7 ounces but otherwise retains the same dimensions as the Sidekick 3 mentioned above. You'll have your choice of two colors--midnight blue or espresso brown--and you can program it to light up like a Christmas tree to alert you to text messages, e-mail, and so forth. The Sidekick LX has all the same messaging features of the Slide and also works with MySpace Mobile. Final highlights of the quad-band phone include integrated Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera (again, no video recording), an MP3 and AAC music player, rated talk-time battery life of 6.8 hours, and a microSD expansion slot. T-Mobile customers get first dibs on the LX starting October 17, while the rest of the world can buy it in stores and online on October 24. Pricing is set at $299.99 with a two-year contract.

Now, we haven't had a chance to play around with these two new Sidekicks yet--we're hearing promises of the next week or two--so it's hard to comment about the new designs, which seem to be the biggest difference between the two devices and the Sidekick 3. Frankly, I wish there was a little more in the multimedia department considering the youth appeal of the Sidekick. Anyway, I'm curious: Among the current Sidekick owners and potential Sidekick owners, which one of these devices are you more interested in and why? Is there enough there to make you want to buy it?

If you use security surveillance cameras at your home, do you have to post a sign that lets people know?

highest megapixel camera phone world image

angelacvn

I live in Hamilton, ON. There are no signs posted and I can't seem to find any information online regarding this. The camera looks as if it is pointing straight at my house...into my 3 yr old daughters room! Now I may be mistaken, but I do know the 2nd camera seems to be pointed at their car which is parked on the street. I have asked and they do say yes they have cameras. Must it be posted? How much of the street or others house can be on the video? Or do they have to stop at their property line?

No

It is your private property do as you please.

What size memory card is sufficient for a Canon Power Shot S110 camera?

Pete

What size memory card is sufficient for a Canon Power Shot S110 camera with 12 megapixels? I'm going on a trip for 2 weeks and I plan to take lots of photos and won't be able to upload them until I get home.

Best answer to whoever can help!

Thanks
The camera is compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC, but I'm curious as to how much memory is sufficient, not type.

Answer
That's a very good, advanced compact camera you have there. I own it's predecessor, the S100. If you're not able to transfer your images at the end of each shooting day, I recommend you DON'T buy just one very high capacity card. It's safer to buy two (or more) smaller capacity cards instead. Imagine if you have only the one memory card and on the very last day of your holiday, the card fails...you could easily lose the entire lot.

The chances that your card will fail are very slim, but it can happen. It's never, ever happened to me but it has to others. I recommend you buy a top quality reliable brand (e.g. Sandisk Extreme). You'll want a Class 10 SDHC card for best performance and for recording Full HD video.

According to your User Guide (page 333) you'll be able to shoot plenty of images (approx. 1379 Jpeg images per 8GB) or up to 29 minutes of Full HD video. You can even shoot in RAW, but that brings the total images down to about 446 per 8GB. Some may say to get 2 or 4GB...8GB is often a much better buy. It's your call.

You can buy memory cards anywhere in the world, so you could easily buy another if you had to.

Don't forget...you will NEED to format your brand new card or cards BEFORE using the very first time...via the camera Menu. Read about it in your User Guide (page 267-268). Also make sure you format your current memory card before going away (transfer all files from it before formatting the card).

Remember to give your camera battery a full charge each night or before you start out for the day...because it only lasts about 200 shots (less if using the flash or recording movies).


p.s. something I found...your camera has Wi-Fi capability that allows you to wirelessly send files to your smartphone or tablet (if you have one). You can also send files directly to websites such as Facebook or YouTube. If you're not in range of a Wi-Fi network you can still upload to your tablet or phone using Canon's CameraWindow app. Apparantly (according to DPReview) it works well...
