Digital Cameras And Video

They incite such exclamations as "Don't point that thing at me!" or "Get that thing out of my face!" Or they even provoke innuendos like "Mine goes long and deep and can penetrate any space."
Yes, digital technology has made cameras and videography a sexy threat to our collective person – unlike most of the people standing behind them. They are just plain threatening.
It seems as if no matter where you go or what you do, someone is always pointing and clicking at you. I mean, can't a guy do a little 4 a.m. "gardening" without being spied on? Digital cameras and video recorders can be found everywhere in everything: cell phones, laptops, mp3 players, penknives, spatulas, yard rakes, ceilings of dressing rooms, the face of a small child, you name it! But digital video/camera technology provides an even more annoying convenience – allowing us no excuse to forget anything!
Digital cameras are so fast and precise that no embarrassing holiday drunkenness or wedding day flirtation (...there goes the bride) will be left undocumented. In fact, digital cameras have accurate speeds capable enough to capture moving objects from the interior of a car, train or even a roller-coaster. Let's see a 1963 Kodak Instamatic do that!
At the same time, digital video recording has reached new heights. Digital video recorders can now record hours (some up to 12) of footage and store it in a smaller space – sort of like those "romantic home videos" in that shoebox under the floorboards in your closet, eh? Also, HD and CMOS technology have made playbacks brighter and sharper than analog or tape recordings.
The software for both digital cameras and digital video recorders is more state-of-the-art than the hardware. Digital camera and video software is produced and formatted according to specific products (Canon, Kodak, Fujifilm, Nikon, etc.) or produced separately for universal compatibility. Either way, digital camera/video software allows more variety of manipulation of the final product. Scenes can be changed, color can be added, intensified or omitted, light can be altered, angles can be switched. Virtually anything is malleable. What cannot be changed, however, is the extortion rate once your "shoebox" stash has been stolen. Good luck, Screech!
A beauty of an object combining the digital camera with the digital video recorder is the Nikon Coolpix S10. This small, sleek, silver digital video camera boasts 6.18 million pixels, image sizes ranging from 2816x2112 to 640x480, a 38-380mm lens, 10x zoom, 4x digital zoom, a 2.5 inch LCD monitor and tons of other features you will have no actual use for but will "accidentally" ruin the family reunion moments with. This is another example of the all-in-oneness digital camera and video technology has afforded us. Too bad that cannot be done with food – a cheeseburger that cleans your teeth, regulates cholesterol and helps you lose weight.
Despite any general aversions to cameras themselves, digital cameras and video recorders are necessarily American. They are like guns; if you know how to use them well, you can get anything you want, and, even better, they do not need to be registered.
