photography: Samsung NV24HD New Favorite Camera but ONE Major Flaw: Video Length! - 04/27/09 12:20 PM
So disappointed.
My new favorite camera (see review vs v570) is the Samsung NV24HD (see camera on Amazon, get a refurb!) has one major flaw... Video length. It is limited to 25 minutes, even at the lowest settings. It isn't a battery or card issue, it is a camera issue.

photography: New Favorite Camera? Samsung 24mm? 28mm vs 24mm vs 23mm - 01/30/09 10:45 AM

Here are three cameras' on video mode.
WOW! Finally! Compare a 35mm to a 28mm to a 15mm. Ignore the compression because Photobucket reduces these 50 megabyte files to 1 megabyte. Focus on color, sharpness and WIDE ANGLENESS.
Canon Sd600 35mm (not wide angle) AVI file format. 640 resolution with 30

photography: Buyers! Photoless Listings= $15,000 "Sale" - 11/21/07 12:39 AM
Punchline: Buy homes with No Additional photos= Save $15,000 on a $400,000 house. Buyers LOVE seeing tons of photos for each listing online. I think Realtor.com said that listings with multiple photos get seen 6 times more than listings with 1 photo. The tendency for buyers is to see a photoless house

Are you a buyer's agent that shows clients homes? Are your clients' brains fried after looking at 10 homes? Well, take your digital camera (get the Kodak v570 wide angle camera for under $200) and set your camera to the LOWEST resolution. When you are in the place start firing away like a
