| A remote controlled USB camera Angela Marsh 05:49:55 |
| | I have some pet birds in their own room, next door to my office.
I'd like to put up an AC powered camera in there, that would wirelessly
transmit to a receiver that would go into my computer via USB port.
I'd like to be able to watch, and maybe record videos of their singing and
antics, without interrupting them, by doing this.
I understand X10 stuff is cheap junk, but what is there that won't cost a
lot, yet would still be reliable, that would enable me to do this?

| 2 questions about digital cameras Neil Jones 03:33:38 |
| | Hi,
I am looking into digital cameras. Previously I owned a Canon Powershot
G3. After I sold that, my wife and I got a Powershot SD1000 as a gift.
Now I am looking around again for camera that I like.
At the time I got Powershot G3, it was considered a "Prosumer" camera.
Now, when I searched for a "prosumer camera", I get a listing of Digital
SLR cameras too. I am trying to stay with "point and shoot" although I
do love some of the SLR cameras that I found (which are out of my price
range now).
I do like the Canon Powershot G10. Considering it's lineage, I would
consider it as a prosumer camera. Where do the experts in the field
create the demarcation for point-and-shoot cameras between the consumer,
prosumer, professional cameras?
My second question is, What other brands are out there that are
competing for the Canon G10 consumers? (looking for prosumer
point-and-shoot cameras list only). This way I can compare them and buy
the one that fits my needs.
Thank you in advance for any information and advice.
NJ

| Slideshow on Blue Ray Question Gerry 01:23:08 |
| | I have several cd's of digital pics from vacations which
played ok on my previous standard dvd player. When I got
a Panasonic BD player and a Sony BD player, neither would
display all the pics on the cd's. Can anyone advise why
and if anything can be done to fix this? The pic's were
all taken in jpeg mode on Canon cameras, an XTI and a
A1000S. Both Bd players were using the HDMI input.

I wish to replace my F11 which I lost and have reached the conclusion that either the F60 or the F100 would be suitable replacements Any views would be most welcome
If you're used to using the higher ISO settings on the F11 you may
find anything in the Fuji line that's newer than the F31 to be
disappointing. Given the choice between the F60 and the F100 though I
think I'd go for the F100.

| Question STRICTLY for Nikon D experts only... Gasser 09:49:02 |
| | This is a question STRICTLY for Nikon D experts/technicians only!
Is there a way to stop a FULL-FRAME Nikon D-SLR (any of D3, D700, D3x)
from auto-masking** the outer region of the sensor when a DX-type lens
is fitted?
** By auto-masking is meant the reduction of the apparent frame size
from approx. 35.9mmx24mm to approx. 23.6mmx15.7mm.
Such ways could include a software setting override, downloaded patch,
insulating of camera body or lens contact or a more radical hardware
alteration of camera or lens functionality.
My clients are willing to pay for such a modification.
The advantage is obvious. DX lenses cover a circular region notably
bigger than the APS-C sensor size of the other Nikon D-SLRs. Many can
cover more than APS-H. Longer ones almost cover FF. Also, even if one
restricts the coverage to the smallest circle containing APS-C, a
square of side 20mm is possible, giving 8.4% more coverage than APS-C.
Replies only in the newsgroup, thanks. The email shown is munged.

| | What model of Coolpix is available that would have super high ISO so I
could take existing light photos in higher speeds, that's highly rated,
and between $100-$200 new.

| CHDK RAW File-saving time boosted + DNG format BarryHaps 06:36:46 |
| |
Cool, the latest builds of CHDK have speeded up RAW+JPG file saving time now of
1.080 to 1.100 seconds on my camera. It has an option to display the file-write
time on each shot. Continuous RAW at 1fps up to the size of the card. Nice.
They save RAW files directly to DNG format now too.

Well, that is an interesting point of view. Unfortunately you made a
slight mistake in your mind reading -- I use a digital p&s for quick
snaps and several _film_ SLRs for real photography. I use no DSLRs and
never have.
How do you fit that in your miniscule worldview?
