Thank you, no phone has been bought yet, until I find out for sure whether the old SIM cards will work. As i understand from further research the Samsung S3 takes a microSIM, which is viable (needs...

The likely explanation is they may want to use your "stills" in a video, and the green background will allow them to add whatever (video or still) background they wish. As you know, in video, you...

Good advice to also get blue screen (if it is inexpensive.) There may be color reflections on the metal parts, by the way (green or other) unless the screen is distant from the item(s). I use...

Hello, I have a Nokia Cellphone which takes a SIM card. When I travel to Europe I put the EU SIM card in it, and when I travel to the US I put the US SIM card in it. Works fine. Now I am interested...

They still lack a sliding lens cover. Using it as a cellphone, there are the inevitable thumbprints on the lens/clear cover. We spend so much time keeping our (normal cam) lenses clean, yet...

Hello,I have been using the Nikon D5100 for over a year, but seldom at evening parties. Set to "AUTO," it showed squares around several faces it would detect, within a given frame. That's OK, but I...

Hi, I seldom post here, thought you might like to see some photos from the Carnival at Patras, Greece, shot with a 5 megapixel Nokia N95-8G Cellphone. (This phone suffers from flare - probably...

Sorry, I did not make myself clear. Two of the lenses, 40+ years old, do not have autofocus - it had not been invented yet. So they were shot with the D5100 set in M (or Manual) mode. Focus had to...

The above comments by others, regarding Autofocus, after my post of the testing the D5100 with 3 lenses are irrelevant (?) - because when I did the tests, the focus for all lenses was done on...

I agree that it is the LENS that makes the difference. Here is the result of my tests of a Nikon D5100 with various Nikon/Nikkor lenses. The 40-yr old Nikkor 50mm f1.4 shines in comparison with the...

Hi,Can't advise about the lenses you list. But I'm using a Nikon D5100 with a 50mm f1.4 lens from the 1970s on it. Fits with no adapters or modifications of any kind. It works strictly manual...

Hello,I have ordered, for a friend, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (7" tablet).As I understand it, it can access the internet (and Skype) if it is within a "Wi-fi" area, such as in a...

Hi,Since you posted on the "Beginners" forum be aware that there are some SD card brands who have better reputations than others. One went dead on me with about 80 irreplaceable photos, another has...

The comments are probably right - you have a nice shot of a complete system of a steam-multiple-expansion reciprocating engine in view.In contrast, it's next to impossible to shoot one inside a...

Placed 61^st in the challenge. In the US Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, Washington, DC.

The scaffolding, and crane etc. have been continuously at the Parthenon since 1976. The "restorers" claim they have 30 more years ahead of them. Sadly, they have made a career out of it, instead of...

Many thanks, this is very useful!
