Death of the Camera getting closer

2003-06-24

Last summer I predicted 1megapixel cellphone cameras would be out by this summer. Well, I was right! 😊 J−Phone has the new Sharp J-SH53 and Docomo has 8 new 505 models 3 of which have 1megapixel cameras. (one is even 1.3 megapixels)

The End of the Camera

2002-08-08

Just like the traditional film based industry is quickly dying since people are using digital cameras and don't need film anymore I think the digital camera industry might be in for some hard times too.

Digital Film Flim Flam?

2001-10-23

Digital Photography Review just had a comparison of several different CompactFlash cards. The interesting thing is, the cards labeled as 8 times faster like the Lexar cards or the new SanDisk Ultra cards didn't actually perform any faster in their tests. In fact they performed SLOWER!!! That makes me wonder, why do Lexar cards still cost over twice as much as non Lexar cards here in Japan?

Nikon Coolpix 5000

2001-09-18

Maybe this is what I should get. It's the new Nikon Coolpix 5000. It's still got a swivel display but it looks like a regular camera most of the time (which is good for when you ask somebody else to take the picture since they never seem to get it otherwise)

It doesn't look like it's too big (see the comparision picture to the 995)

And, it's got a optional grip handle that you can put 6 AA batteries in so it solves the battery problem too 😉
