How To Purchase a Digital Camera

Purchasing a Digital Camera can seem like a daunting task. All those numbers, 6.0 mega pixels, 640 x 480, 64 MB Flash memory , who can understand or convert between different cameras? This tutorial will help you understand what all those terms mean, which aspects of a digital camera you may be interested in while shopping, and be able to compare different cameras with seemingly different descriptive terms. Digital cameras allow for instant access to your pictures. Most cameras on the market have an LCD screen to view the pictures immediately. You can then choose which pictures to keep and which to delete. Using different methods, you can then send the pictures to your computer to email them, print, or store them for future use. Important Characteristics of Digital Cameras Depending on what you want to use the camera for, different characteristics will interest you over others. As your features increase, so does the price. Resolution The resolution of your digital camera tells you how sharp the pictures will come out. The resolution is measured in dpi, or dots per inch. It is an expressed in pixels, each pixel is a dot of color. For example, 640 x 480 has 480 lines from top to bottom and 640 pixels that make up each of those lines. A typical inexpensive camera will be 640 x 480, which is suitable for web or emailing, but if you want to print pictures, anything below 1280 x 1024 is probably unacceptable. When a camera has more than a million pixels, it is commonly referred to as a "mega pixel" camera. For example, a description of a camera may say "Digital Zoom Camera, 1.5 mega pixel, 1280 x 1024 resolution." This camera has over 1 million pixels, which means it is a high quality camera.

Do You Need a Cell Phone Recorder? by Tom Rasmussen

With all the cool technology available, it can be tempting to buy gadgets just for the sake of buying gadgets. On the other hand, some technology can really be useful. The cell phone recorder falls into this category of possibly useful and possibly just a gadget.
Do you need a recorder to capture your cell phone conversations? Most people will automatically answer a resounding no to this, but may still want such a device because they’re cool. Other people will answer yes, I definitely need one. And most people will wonder how they would use a machine like this if they had it.
If you’re considering buying a cell phone recorder, how will you use it? Keep in mind that in most areas you can legally record phone conversations, including cell phone calls, only if you disclose the recording to the other party in advance and get their permission.
If you’re planning to record phone calls so that you can recall project and discussion details and make sure you’re on the same page with a client, supervisor or employee, then recording should be fine. Very few people will object when you have a strong reason for recording the phone call.
If capturing cell phone calls is part of a plan to discredit, embarrass or otherwise harm the other party, and you’re not planning to get their permission to tape them, a cell phone recorder could cause you some serious legal problems, and possibly some jail time. In that case, you should probably reconsider your purchase.
If you sometimes make calls from your office phone and sometimes from your cell, and need to record from both locations, one device will record from both phones, so you won’t have to purchase two recorders.
A cell phone recorder is definitely a cool gadget, and you will no doubt enjoy using it and impressing your friends with your new toy. But if you have a legitimate need to record phone conversations, legally, this may become an indispensable device for you. As we move more and more toward using our cell phones exclusively, being able to record your cell phone conversations becomes ever more important.
