Its an excellent camera. Buy it and once you learn about light, composition, exposure and depth of field you can use it to make some nice pictures. These sites will help you:

I have a digital sony point and shoot camera, and the battery life is incredibly short. i take about 40 pictures and they’re gone. I do use flash, but that still seems way too short a battery life! any ideas what it could be? maybe there’s a setting that i need to change? i already went to smaller image files. thanks!

Is the battery old? If it’s a rechargeable battery and you have had it for a while the battery is starting to loose it’s power. Call Sony and ask for tips.

Besides the mega pixels and hot shoe, what are the major differences between the sony hx1, and the canon powershot sx 1?

www.dpreview.com is a great website for researching and comparing cameras.

I been looking up which camera to buy and I got down to 4 cameras.

Canon PowerShot SD870 IS

If you have any camera that you recommend you can tell me.
Thanks
Thanks for the reccomendations but I’m looking for a ultra compact camera that i can easily fir in my pocket. My budget would be around $250 ish

I prefer niko they are the best but cannon is better for cheper ssony is over all better

What is better Canon IXUS cameras or Sony Cybershot W cameras? Specially in term of picture quality.

that would probably be the canon, then again you should look at the mega pixels. What ever ones higher you should probably go with, if there the same look at the other spec’s and just compare, after all its not my money your spending.

Part(1/2)
This video covers the dissection of the Playstation 3 Eye Camera and the removal of its infrared filter (IR) so that a visible blocking bandpass filter can be added as seen in Part2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbMqsrm2TTs
(Vimeo version here: http://vimeo.com/2939528 )

This is a very popular camera in the world of home-built MultiTouch screens using optical-based technologies, namely the method known as Laser Light Plane (LLP).
Thanks to the clever hacking of the camera by Alex P, this camera can now work on any operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux). His blog can be found here:

http://alexpopovich.wordpress.com/2008/10/02/sony-ps3eye-camera-directshow-capture-source-filter/

He has gotten it to achieve framerates and resolutions that max out at 125fps in 320×240 resolution and 75fps in 640×480 resolution.
In the second part, a piece of floppy disk is used as a poor-mans infrared band pass filter (3 layers of exposed negative film also works), but better bandpass filters can be inserted if cut to size.
My store on my website now gives the ability to purchase already modded PS3 Eye Cameras: http://peauproductions.com/store/
and tons of accessories if you want to mod the camera yourself.

My MultiTouch table seen briefly at the end of the second part, is using a technique known as LED-LP (using LEDs to create an IR plane instead of lasers).

http://go.tagjag.com/wx1 – http://twitter.com/chrispirillo – Sony recently sent me their new DSC-WX1 to play with and review in conjunction with the upcoming Sweep Panorama photo contest. I can tell you that I’m excited about this camera. I’m by no means a professional photographer, but I do enjoy snapping shots whenever I can. This camera has some amazing settings options, as well as extremely clean and clear pictures. Even with all of the various modes and settings, it’s not one that is difficult to figure out and operate, unlike other cameras I’ve tried in the past. Even without a flash or tripod, this camera does an amazing job of capturing excellent quality shots indoors. Now that is impressive. http://chris.pirillo.com – http://geeks.pirillo.com
