This very much depends on what you are using your images for. For Internet use you only need low resolution images whereas, when printing a brochure you will need much higher resolution images. We would advise that you buy a camera with the highest number of pixels you can afford. It's much easier to scale an image down than scale an image up. We use a 5 million pixel camera which is more than adequate for website images and gives us great great 8" x 10" images.

No. You might, for example, use your purchase to advertise books, or to promote a particular idea, philosophy, business, or other activity. If you do not currently have a website but intend to develop one, you can add the link later, without further charge (subject to our approval of the content of your site). Not really, considering that your site will be advertised worldwide, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A 10x10 pixel link costs only $100, which is around 5 cents a day over five years.

We recommend at least 1.3 megapixels or 1280 by 960 resolution. Lower resolution cameras work just fine with Whiteboard Photo, but you may have to take multiple pictures of a whiteboard or blackboard to capture the entire contents.

Resolution is a measure of the number of pixels that make up a digital image. The higher the resolution, the higher the pixels. The more pixels you have, the better the photo quality. If you want to print your digital images, choose a large pixel setting on your digital camera. This setting will use up your memory card more quickly than a low pixel setting but it will give you a better quality printed photo.

There's been a little bit of debate on this in the forum, and I think that some of this is up to personal opinion, but I see one right way to do it (personally). When you're trying to attain the fastest possible shutter speed, you're doing a guess-and-check method by using Shutter Priority, as you have to manipulate both shutter speed and ISO in order to try to stay at the fastest speed. At that, you'll always be changing shutter speed because of varying light conditions.

The good news is, unless you are shooting close-up pictures of jewelry, you don't need an expensive camera to take good product shots. If you are shooting pictures for use on websites and not for print, you can get a good camera for less than $200. The quality of your images is going to depend much less on the sophistication of your camera and much more on your lighting and how well you operate the camera.

The Foveon X3 image sensor in the SD-14 camera has about 14 million pixels arranged in three layers of 4.67 million pixels each, to measure Red, Green and Blue light. This characteristic sets the SD-14 apart from all other digital cameras, enabling each pixel site to see all three colors, instead of only one color as in conventional image sensors.

Not necessarily. Whiteboard Photo works with scanners, so you can use it for cleaning up scanned documents too. But, if you want to capture your whiteboard, you'll need a digital camera.

Unless you have specific questions about how your camera works, don’t bring it to the class. Brent and Lorelle have extensive experience working with a variety of cameras (even point-and-shoots) and are very willing to answer any questions you may have. They strongly recommend you read your camera manual before coming to the class. If the class includes a field trip, you will need to bring your camera then.

Electric current varies throughout the world and can affect your small appliances, such as hair dryers and electric shavers. The voltage in the countries we will visit is 220V. Plugs are either the Continental European type with two round pins or the English type with a square plug. Your appliances may be plugged into a European outlet with an adaptor. Some electric devices like laptops, shavers and camera chargers work both 100V and 220V.

The Shad-o-Box cameras will work with most standard digital frame grabbers. The frame grabber interface consists of 16 data lines, three timing outputs (pixel clock, hor. sync and vertical sync), a strobe input and four control I/O lines. Both RS-422 and LVDS versions of the cameras are available. A custom cable is required for most frame grabbers, although some frame grabbers that use the 68-pin AIA interface may work with just a simple SCSI cable.

How much resolution is enough? (When should I stop caring if they add more resolution to new models?)

In order to submit a Video Greeting you must have a video camera or Web camera installed on your computer. We do not require sound.

Unlike other Pixel websites, I am not trying to raise money to pay bills, buy a house, school loans, etc. I made this site with one intention, to raise money for two rare cancers that my niece and Sister-in-Law passed away from. My Brothers-in-law are running a golf outing in May 2007, to raise money for these rare cancers, this is my way of trying to help raise more money for these rare cancers.

No. All requests for pixels must be accompanied by full payment in advance. You will be refunded in full if your application fails for any reason.

Requests for pixels are dealt with on a first-come, first-served basis. If there is high demand for pixels at a particular time, you may not get the pixels you have requested. In these circumstances, we will try to offer you an alternative set of pixels. If you do not want these, you will be given a full refund.

If you no longer require your pixels, you can email us (with your password) to request that we remove your link and release the pixels. We will then offer these pixels for sale to a new buyer. You will NOT receive a refund, nor receive any monies resulting from this new sale.

Pinhole camera may come with audio or without audio and can be used for a wide variety of purpose in office or at home, for security, surveillance or fun. Pinhole camera is an ideal discreet surveillance camera for the office or home security system, and a must tool for the novice or professional detective. Use it as a nanny camera when you are away from home to make sure that your children or elderly family members are properly taken care of.

You will need the CLA-4 Conversion Lens Adapter. It provides a 55mm mounting thread for a 55mm filter or conversion lens. This can be purchased through the Olympus Emporium or by phone at 1-800-201-7766.

No! Digital cameras are nice, but not necessary. Pictures taken with a good quality camera are fine and can be scanned in with a scanner. If you prefer, many drug stores and other photo processing centers can digitize your picture -- put your pictures on a floppy disk or CDROM -- for a few extra dollars. For easy uploading, make sure they store pictures in the jpeg format.

Please talk to your TA. Your TA will have set up a date when 355 students can begin reserving cameras. On that date, we will confirm that you have filled out a Borrowing Agreement, and you will be asked to review our Equipment Checkout Policy and to take a quiz on the information. You can then reserve equipment for class. The Department's film and video equipment is only available for insturctional use. Only students currently enrolled in production classes may use this equipment.

No. Although digital cameras are convenient, you can scan your film camera negatives or prints and submit the files to Image Showcase. There is no denying the convenience of digital cameras and the turn-around time of the results they produce, but film cameras still have a lot going for them - especially if you have a large collection of images on film and are used to making images this way. The benefits of a film camera is that you can scan the negative to almost whatever digital size you like.
