Yes, it looks "funny" to see the spectators' surprized expressions. But it would not be fun to get hit by a ball traveling at over 100 mph.  Even professionals with gloves occasionally suffer...

A photograph, viewed in full, is every bit as controversial as any other topic whose criteria are largely a matter of personal taste or habit. Pixel-peeping, on the other hand, appeals to a narrow,...

The USPS has dedicated many, many stamps to monuments, landmarks, and well-known pieces of public art over the years. If it rolls over on this case, opportunists everywhere will go on a roll. ...

Generally, it's easier to sell units that are making money.  Buyers like KKR aren't in business to be sentimental about cameras or blood glucose meters for their own sake. Overall, Panasonic did...

All told, the USPS does not really "make money" on stamps or mail delivery in general. The conmemorative stamp gave Gaylord a "free ride" publicity-wise for his work and should pay a fee.

The USPS is a pretty huge, soft target. Willie Sutton: "that's where the money is." However, given the employee pension plan deficit, the difference will have to come from higher fees, taxes, or...

The USPS is a pretty huge, soft target. Gaylord's advistor knew by heart the counsel of Willie Sutton: "that's where the money is." However, given the employee pension plan deficit, the...

I suspect the problem is not confined to AVCHD. Blown out details are probably tough to recover, no matter what the codec.  RAW formats might improve the latitude, but not raise the dead. My...

A "professional" would probably spend $2,500 or similar lavish sum for an RX1 or a $1,500 "compact" Fuji device with an APS-C sensor that certainly won't fit in a pocket. For 500 euros, the most...

Time to correct some typos and obsolete words! Given that the vast majority of photographers people are using digital cameras phones, and that a generation has now grown is now growing up who have...

Sony's HDR-CX430V costs $519 and offers Balanced Optical Steadishot, which "floats" both lens and sensor on a gyro.  For $599 one can get the CJ430, which has a viewfinder too, but that hardly...

Do you keep the entire "G harem" in the same stable? Doesn't one get jealous if you pick another for an outing? But it must be quite a show to carry them all about at once.

A well framed 16:9 1920x1080 is, by definition, ideal for screen viewing without pan-scan.  Double that resolution, and you have reasonable margin for cropping or zooming.  Five or six megapixels...

Impossible to enforce if the celebrities' kids are continuously surrounded by peers with phone cameras. An irony: people claim to hate candid shots of celebrities, but they dominate checkout lines...

For the sake of pure entertainment, people can pay for whatever classes, courses, or certification programs they enjoy.  If nothing else, you are apt to meet people who share your interests. Any...

Camera-fans include an unusual quotient of "idiot savants" obsessed with very narrow things, who to ape if confronted with different subjects, or anything alive or ambiguous like art.
