Many manufacturers offer proprietary lithium ion battery systems with their cameras. These are very sophisticated batteries with very long life. Sony's Infolithium battery system is perhaps the best example of this technology. In addition to offering very long life, this system can give an accurate measurement of the amount of operating time left on a charge. The negative side of lithium ion battery systems is that these proprietary systems tend to be very expensive.

Unfortunately, it is. Digital cameras use alkaline batteries at a shockingly fast rate. (For an explanation why, see the following question). If you are using lots of alkaline batteries for your electronic devices you'll probably want to switch to rechargeable NiMH batteries ASAP. Not only will the NiMH batteries power a digital camera (or most other electronic devices) much longer than alkaline batteries will, but they are much less expensive to use. See similar questions...

Alkaline batteries weren't designed to supply the high power drains demanded by digital cameras and other modern digital equipment. Despite having a large energy capacity, alkaline batteries aren't capable of delivering their energy rapidly enough to supply your digital camera, causing it to shut down. Digital cameras, and in particular their LCD screens, demand large electrical currents from your batteries. See similar questions...

Yes there is, Nimh rechargable batteries and portable charges are the way to go, they can save you hundreds of dollars in alkaline batteries over their life. We have many models available but the most popular is the ULAASC (see our specials section) and the MAHA digital camera battery and charger which we also stock. See similar questions...

Some cameras are designed for this, so you should check your manual. It's rare to find this feature in high quality digital cameras, but lower quality multifunction cameras with CMOS sensors sometimes offer this. See, for example, AipTek. If your camera doesn't already support some webcam features, you may still be able to do it if you have a video capture card (or USB device) of some kind, by connecting the video out from your camera to the video in on your PC.

The features that make a good camera for product photography are not necessarily the features that are important for other types of photography like portraits or everyday family photos. That's not to say that the camera you choose for product photography won't work well for other uses, but you may weight the relative importance of the various features differently.

In reality, there is no "best brand." Each camera has its pros and cons, but whatever camera is best suited to you as far as ease of use and budget will provide the vehicle for you to get ghost photographs. Preferably, if you choose a film-type camera, it is best if you get a 35 mm. As far as the digital vs. film debate I find that the two can not be compared as they are both technologically different and utilize two different types of media to record images.

A – If you are a one time contributor and don’t own a digital camera then we can accept photos of small cemeteries by mail or if you scan those images and send to us we’ll accept them that way. However if you attempting a large cemetery or expect to be contributing a lot then I strongly advise buying a digital camera as you’ll soon pay for it by the saving of not having to develop the photos.

Some sizes of batteries are available as both Alkaline cells (often indicated by a prefix of LR) and Silver-Oxide cells (often indicated by a prefix of SR). Silver-Oxide cells are normally used in watches. They are a little more expensive but last much longer. You can always replace an Alkaline cell with a Silver-Oxide one of the same size, but not always a Silver-Oxide with Alkaline cell. For further information click here. See similar questions...

Two kinds of batteries are widely available: Ni-CD (Nickel Cadmium) and Ni-MH (Nickel-Metal Hydride). There is a third type of rechargeable battery, Lithium Ion, that is becoming increasingly popular.The advantage of a Lithium Ion battery is that it offers better performance than the other two types. The disadvantage is that they do not come in the standard AA battery size, so you can''t use them with most cameras. See similar questions...

Probably, but depending upon your camera's support for standard external flashes, it may require some persistence and some workarounds: See similar questions...

We recommend at least a 3 Mega Pixel digital camera set to it's best quality setting. A 4 or 5 Mega Pixel camera is recommended for gloss publications. See similar questions...

Alkaline batteries will provide about 30 minutes of decent light, then the brightness will continue to slide until it is unusable. If you need to use disposable batteries take a lesson from our pro adventure racers and use lithium disposables. Lithium disposable batteries will run about 30-35% longer than an good 2300mAH rechargeable set of AA batteries. See similar questions...

The alkaline batteries provide a constant trickle charge for the TMF batteries to maintain the status of charge for jump starting an engine. It also extends the service life of the unit and powers its internal control electronics. See similar questions...

Although the small size of the individual pixels in CCD, CMOS, and Live-MOS image sensors enables them to capture even more detail than film, the sensitivity of the sensor elements is highly directional. That is, they respond best to light that strikes the elements straight on. With lenses designed for use with film, the light rays passing through the periphery of the lens strike the image sensor at an angle, and this tends to degrade picture quality at the periphery of the image area.

The one that suits your needs!" Digital photographers require different features. These are noted on the specification lists on this site under each camera description. If you need help in choosing the right camera for your needs, read all of the specs and FAQ's, then give us a call. Ask for a sales rep in the digital department and tell him or her exactly what you want to be able to do with the camera and any special needs or applications. See similar questions...
