What will happened to the DSLR, what happened to Flim, Film made today is better than any made when it was in wide use, why because it is only used my specialists. The use of Cameras in Phones will continue to spread, my daughter-in-law, bought a new phone because the memory was full on the one she had. That is the mentality of the Camera phone it is not just the tool, it is also the display device. How many times have you seen a phone passed around the table at a family dinner to show off a picture. I was at a wedding recently where there was no Photographer, just a website to upload your snap shots off your phone. A friend of the bride took the pictures at the church with a tablet, maybe an I-Pad. The Wedding Album was downloadable 10 days after the wedding. The family picture taken at the wedding with a Samsung cell phone, was blurry and poorly exposed, with bad shadows, and glare points. But every one wanted a copy on their face-Book page. My wife wanted a printed copy but anything over 2.4 x 3.5 was so badly distorted it was unusable. So what is the lesson. Real dedicated cameras will continue for those of us who want that crystal clear breath taking shoot of a Bird or a Flower, a Sunset, or just like the idea of the right tool for the right job. The Camera Phone is here to stay, and it will get better. It will fill in that spot for those of the same mentality that used the 110 Instamatic, remember those. The large bulky Camera like my D7100 with 5 lenses will continue to pass into that realm of mystery of old technologies. But it will continue to garner respect, when I visit places with my gear strapped on and lift the Camera to take a picture people step back and make room, I have even heard mother say to their children quite that man is taking a picture. Each generation changes the face of society, I will be worried when Best Buy moves Cameras to the back page, or stops advertising them all together, like Walgreen's did with Film. Now where Film used to be are hundreds of electronic gadgets.
Buy the best camera your budget can stand, while the camera does not take the picture a poor camera can not be compensated for. If money is no object then any high end Nikon with matched lenses can't be beat. If you know know thing about cameras take a class at a local community collage on basic photography. It is in valuable. If money is an object then the Nikon 3xxx series, or the 5xxx series are good choices. It also has to do with what you want to do. I love to take pictures of flowers, and my grandchildren. One does not move but the other moves allot. In general less expensive digital cameras struggle with action shot. I have a D7100, it is right on the edge between pro and amateur. It was my first DSLR but I had 6 SLR's before that. My first Digital was a Coolpix 5700, This predates the DSLR, but a great digital.
Film will range in price from around 3 dollars for a Kodak 200 ASA color, 24 shot roll to 12 dollars for a high end 36 shot high end B/W. Processing is not available in most areas over the counter any longer, it gets sent in or you can send it in yourself. Processing will cost around 15 dollars for a 24 short roll, put on CD it goes up from there. If you want prints, it is 1.00 each. So a single roll of 24 shots is total $48.00, 2 dollars per print. You can get a reasonable all in one Digital for around 400.00 it eliminates the hard cost of film. The best part of digital is that you can shot nearly unlimited shots. You can get instant feed back, and improve your skills very quickly. You just look at you shots on the computer and delete them when you are done if there not what you expected. I have thousand of hard photos on files that I rarely look at but my digital pix's scroll endlessly on the three computer screens at work and at home. Put the Argus on the mantel and let people admire it. Spend as much as you can afford on a digital camera. Good tools will yield good results when used correctly. I been shooting pictures for 30 years. I gave published work and gallery work as well as industrial shots which is my specialty. Happy shooting.
Once they become your friend they have access to more information on you FB page. Things like family relationships, and birthdays. I have heard of people getting calls telling them a close family member has been in a car accident and that they need to get a wire transfer of money ASAP. Most people would be suspect but it only take a couple of hits to make it worth the effort. I have a close friend who received a call from someone who identified herself as his High School Flame. She had a lot of data, she claimed she was in London and had her ID and money taken. She then ask for him to make a deposit in an out of state bank for 5000. Since he was not on top of this kind of thing he did as asked. His bank however was more informed. They made the transfer conditional and caught the caller who turned out to have gotten all of her information off of Face book and his company web site. We all need to be vigilant.
Yes the shutter release on the Camera, I never tried it, I was just told that by Nikon, when next I am set up to shot with the remote I will try it.
Yes you can not use the remote and the button at the same time. I am not sure why that was what I got from Nikon.
My 7100 does the same thing, I sent an inquiry to Nikon. They said that for the convenience of the user that the setting returns to default when power is cycled. When the setting is in the on state the Camera mounted button is disabled. That is the reasoning.
I love the B&W it is far more evocative. There is a certain feeling about a B&W print that cannot be captured in color.
Thank you for the wonderful shot, it speaks of a time gone by. Where are those that built these structures. They put heart and soul in to their work, and the land. There are many such vanishing icons. Soon they will be no more. Will it be so with us? What will the youngest of our generations build, a wall at our borders, a Starbucks on every corner. Will a picture of a decaying life style center ever evoke such emotion. I feel not. Please frame this and remember all that has past before you.
Did you all see the Date-Line feature on self driving cars? It concerns me but with the amount of near misses I see almost everyday from 20 and 30 something's using their cell phones while driving. It might be a good idea. But then when the satellite grid goes down and no traffic can move at all??? Well at least you will know what is in the frig. :)
Who repairs such a thing, have you ever had experience with your average appliance repair person???
I am an EE by trade, and I love all things electronic, but this is really over the top. Early on in my life I had a mentor who worked on the Talos Missile project for the Navy, he would never own any thing that had an electronic control and he hated the micro processer. He would always say someday ever #$%^& one of those $%^&* will just stop working and the whole world will be back in the dark ages. He drove his 1969 Dodge Pickup until he died, he never had on automated device in his home. Not sure what he would have thought of this.
All of the above are already available, LG has a bar code enable Ref, that scans the bar code, accesses the mfg. data base for the use by date and checks to see if the product is under recall. It also builds a shopping list. In addition you can add items to the data base by scanning in none ref. items that reside in your pantry. It will estimate consumption based on multiple scans of the same item, and give you a projected time to empty for you next purchase. You get a TXT informing you that you will run out of Special K and POP Tarts just after your next trip to the store. It is only available in Japan and Korea at the moment but will be here soon.
