4/5     Why is that the text overlay feature (i.e., date/timestamp) only
        exists in higher end digital cameras?  Is it that expensive of
        a feature to put in?  I want just a basic digital camera that
        does what my regular camera does.  Timestamp, auto-flash, etc...
        The digital camera that have text overlay usually have movie
        mode too which I don't care about.  Any suggestions?
        \_ if you get prints from somewhere like Shutterfly, they'll print
           the EXIF info on the back of the print--that might be sufficient
           for your needs.  -tom
           \_ It does actually, thanks!
           \_ Don't get too used to using Shutterfly.  They're not long for
              this world.  They're headed directly to the FC Hall of Fame.
              \_ What about others?  Ofoto (owned by Kodak), Snapfish,
                 etc?  Do they print the EXIF info?

3/7     Does anyone else think the iPad3 isn't really that much better
        than the iPad2?  I don't really understand the hype.
        \_ 5MP camera?  My 1-yr-old Android phone has a 8MP auto-focus camera
           (plus a 1MP focus-free one on the front.)
              \_ The iPad camera seems like a joke to me.  The iPad is just
                 to big to be useful for taking pictures.  Maybe it makes

9/28    A lot of photos I take come out blurry. A lot of them are clear,
        too, but the proportion of blurry photos is high. This has led me
        to take more photos than I otherwise would in hopes of getting a
        clear one. I took some photos of the Rio grande and they
        were all awesome, but the next day I took photos of landscapes
        and almost all of them were blurry. Could it be the camera or is

4/8     I want to by my mom a point and shoot camera for about $150 because
        she's running around with this 1 megapixel camera from back in the
        day. I looked at Canon and Nikon, but I am not as into this stuff as
        some people on MOTD are. I take photos with my Blackberry. What's
        a good choice in that price range? Definitely not more than $200.
        \_ Canon has the best point and shoot cameras.  The A1100 or A495

        BTW, has anybody used the new D10 [not the old 10D] ... any thoguhts?
        I'm trying to pick between {my G10 + buy waterproof housing} or

        I just hope that copycats won't pop up everywhere and cause airline

        \_ How did they beat NASA?  This is cool, but comparing it to
           NASA is just stupid.
