I just wanted to let the people that frequent this forum know that we launched a photography blog today:

Photo Club

Here is a brief description of what it is about:

Crutchfield’s photography enthusiasts decided to start a club where we could share photos and talk shop. Every few weeks we choose a topic and shoot pictures for that theme, then get together to look at our work and compare techniques. On this blog, we’ll share some of those tips and highlight a few photos from each theme. Plus, we’ll answer questions about photography in the comments.

Check it out and let us know what you think.

Can digital cameras do this yet???

Scot — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 19:33:25 GMT

My business is crating items for shipment in homes and businesses. Throughout a typical day I could have 6 stops with 3-5 items to be crated at each stop. To document the existing damage before crating I take multiple pics of each item. At the end of the day I can have as many as 100 pics to sort through and try to attach to orders.

So the question is:

Does anyone make a digital camera yet that allows you to label/stamp each pic or series of pics while you take them. Like a date stamp option they all have but you get to choose what the label is.

sony dsc-t100

boostandlove — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:43:48 GMT

hi crutchfield,

i got a sony dsc-t100, my cousin bought it for me on crutchfield about two years ago. recently the camera has been vibrating, and can't seem to focus correctly. i found the same problem but with a diffrent model camera the t20, but the lens are the same with the t100. i called sony, and told them about my problem and they said my warrenty is over and i would have to pay $141.00 + tax and shipping to get it fixed. i tired to tell them that the camera lens on the t100 is identical to the t20, but they told me it was a diffrent manufacture realease date so its diffrent. is there anything i can do to resolve this problem? does anyone have this problem?

some additional information from another guy that had this problem

lens changing bags?

profbob — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 23:04:14 GMT

I am new to Crutchfield and the forums, so here is my first posting.

I have been using a P&S digital camera for years and I will be new to DSLR cameras (I am getting ready to purchase one from Crutchfield) and was wondering about ways of preventing or minimizing dust contamination when changing lenses, especially outdoors.

I tried a search on this topic and could not find anything in the forum about it.

Is there such a thing as a small bag into which the camera is inserted (kind of like the old developer darkroom bags used in the days of developing film) along with the lens for changing without having dust contamination? (Although changing lenses blind may not be the wise thing to do since I have never attempted it.)

Just wondering if such an accessory exists or is commonly used. I do realize that dust cleaners are built into cameras or that a photo shop could easily clean dust off the sensor or that software can be used to remove dust images from photos.

digimom — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 12:16:12 GMT

I am looking for a small camera that has the least amount of shutter lag and has a optical viewfinder. I have a digital SLR but need a small camera for vacation with kids. Any thoughts on Canon Powershot SD 1100 IS or Sony Cybershot DSC-W130? Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Nikon digicam issue

Salabadjuk — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 04:13:47 GMT

i have an older 4megapixel point and shoot nikon digital camera, it uses an sd card, i forgot what the model number is. when the sd card is inserted the camera will not turn on, but when i take out the sd card the camera turns on. weird. i tried using different brands of sd cards, to no avail. i'm currently using a sandisk sd card, it came in with the camera. i was wondering if there is reset procedure on nikon digital cameras without going through the menu, like pressing buttons in a sequence or something, or is my cam screwed up?

leaving it without batteries do no good as a reset, help...

DSLR questions

Salabadjuk — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 22:12:56 GMT

i've been thinking of purchasing a dslr for amature photography. i was reading on the specs on different brands and found out that dslr cams, aside from canon, uses a ccd image sensor while canon uses a cmos image sensor. from what i've read (correct me if i'm wrong) a ccd image sensor processes the picture line by line and cmos processes the pic as a whole image... my queston is, is it very much like the pic formats for tvs? like ccd is interlaced and cmos is progressive? if it is so then a cmos image sensor is better compared to a ccd processor?

any enlightenment on this issue will be very much appreciated... it's been driving me nuts for weeks now. lol.

Making a dvd video

martie — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:27:23 GMT

I have pictures from a Finepix camera I also have photos downloaded onto my computer from slides that are now jpeg. I am wondering if it is posible to burn a dvd with these photos so I can view them on my television. I have a 50" tv and a sony 120 camera. Is there a program I need to get to do this. I know I can view them on a dvd on the computer but would like to view on the tv or be able to give to someone as a gift. Any help is appreciated. Martie

GPS with Nikon Coolpix P6000

Gimpy — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 07:13:53 GMT

Has anyone used the P6000 and how did you like the camera? The Users Manual seems overly cautious about the accuracy of the GPS being off by up to several hundred meters? It it is that inaccurate, then what would be the point of having the GPS feature, except in vast area photos?

My use would be for photo documentation of linear utilities and rights-of-way.

Thanks for any comments by persons having used the P6000 camera.

Sony Support

Tokolosh — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 00:11:00 GMT

To Crutchfield Customer Support,

I recently bought 2 x Sony Cyber Shot Camera as Christmas presents. Unfortunately, I purchased them directly from Sony Style On-line becuase the models I needed were temporarily out of stock at Crutchfield.

Over the past 3 days, I have spent more than 200 minutes on the phone trying to reach a on Sony's Support representative in an attempt to replace a faulty memory stick that was purchased with one of the cameras. Trying to reach customer support on-line is also impossible using Sony's website - there are serious flaws in their system.

Anyway, this is not really Crutchfield's problem, but I am wondering how Crutchfield is dealing Sony service issues with this incredibly frustrating service from what should be a blue-chip organization. I was looking to purchase a Sony Bravia XBR HDTV and BlueRay player this year from Crutchfield, but this experience with Sony has left me very bitter indeed.

EyeFi

im2tonic — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 03:36:08 GMT

Got the basic EyeFi as a gift from someone who assumed I'm running Windows XP. Well, I'm running Ubuntu and the company informs me they do not have, nor have any plans for, a Linux version. Before I try to install the EyeFI software anyway to see if it just might work, I'd love to know if anyone has tried it, and succeeded or failed. Thanks for helping. ...Fred

P.S. -- I don't know if this site sends notification, so I'd like to ask that you email me directly as well at im2tonic AT yahoo dot com. Thanks again.

picture quality for Sony vs Panasonic

BrianIC — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 04:17:39 GMT

I rounded down my camera choices down to 2 slim-line digital cameras. The Panasonic Lumix DMC FS5 (10 meg 30-120 2.5 display) and the Sony DSC W-150 (8 meg 30-150 2.7 display). I feel that from 8 to 10 meg won't make much difference just like the display of 2.5 vs 2.7. The aperture range and camera size are also identical. The Sony is priced slightly higher which isn't significant. By looking at the specs on paper the Sony seems better because of the larger range of the 5x optical zoom which may come in handy. I have viewed the reviews and they both are good. Anyone has an opinion as to which one has a better picture quality (largest print size 8x10)
