Digital cameras are devices that record images digitally on a light sensitive sensor. They can be used to take still photographs or videos. Highly versatile, they can take thousands of images on a single memory device, can record video with sound, edit these images and delete them allowing re-use of space. Digital cameras have been incorporated into many other devices like PDA'S mobile phones and vehicles. The Hubble Space Telescope is a digital camera.

Initially, the idea of digitizing images on scanners was used by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to provide astronauts with navigational information. A mosaic photo sensor would record locations of planets and stars. This would help astronauts to orbit and land. The FUJI-DS-ISP 1986 was the first true digital device that recorded images in a computerized file. The first digital camera with LCD was the Casio QV-10 in 1995.The image resolution is achieved by the camera sensor that turns light into discrete signals. Millions of "buckets that make up the sensor, count the number of photons that strike it. The brightness of the image is dependant on the number of pixels (the smallest unit of information for an image).

The rapid technological improvements have dramatically reduced costs. "Pixels per dollar" has become the measurement of value of a digital camera. The camera either uses the single shot or the multi-shot method of capturing an image. This refers to the number of times the sensor is exposed to the light passing through the lens. Scanning is another method wherein the sensor moves like a desk-top scanner. In some cases, scanning is achieved by rotating the whole camera, enabling one to get images of a very high resolution. In recent years, technical improvements have made single shot and LCD based cameras very popular in commercial and digital photography.

Let us dwell on the connectivity of these new model digital cameras. Early computers used the Serial port to transfer data. There are cameras that use wireless connections via Bluetooth or IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi.Modern cameras come equipped with Pict Bridge Standard which allows for the automatic transfer of data to a Pict Bridge capable computer printer, thereby circumventing the need for a computer.

These cameras lend themselves to a variety of uses. They allow one to view a photograph as soon as it is taken. With constant improvements in technology, and cutting-edge software available, modifications and digital manipulations seem almost endless. They are ideal for sports enthusiasts, who can capture fast action in all its glory. They are ideal for capturing loving moments of family get-togethers. Professionals and amateurs can use these cameras to freeze those special moments of life that come rarely!

Reuters - Those eager to put 2008 behind them will have to hold their good-byes for just a moment this New Year's Eve.

Copying Ps3 games can seem like a pretty daunting task at first but when you think about it, it's basically the same steps as copying a Ps2 games. When the Ps2 disks first came out they said they 'couldn't be copied' but it was only a matter of time (and not very long at that) before the Ps2 games could in fact be successfully copied so it seems that it was only a matter of time before copying Ps3 games was a reality.

Now as you can imagine Sony is no fool and has included copyright protection on its Ps3 disks but as smart as the people at Sony are , there is an equal amount if not more individuals who are smarter and enjoy the challenge of such a daunting task as making the copying of ps3 games a reality.

So some very smart programmers got together to make some software so that copying ps3 games indeed was a possibility. Luckily for us they succeeded. You see as an owner of a Xbox 360, Xbox, Ps2 and a Ps3 the one thing which really annoyed me more than anything else was that fact it often only took me to place the game disk down on a surface which appeared smooth but only to find out later when I picked the game disk up there was a big scratch across the surface. Great! $90 down the drain just like that. So while Sony and Microsoft for that matter continue to use disks as their chosen formats people will look for ways to copy their games so that they can make backups and safely store the originals away.

Luckily now you can easily purchase software that will make copying Ps3 games as easy as pushing a couple of buttons. The requirements to make backups of your games are nothing more than a PC (of course!), a DVD burner, and original Ps3 game that you own and this remarkable software that makes the backups.

From here you simply insert your original Ps3 game into your PC so that an 'image file' can be made. Once this operation has completed you only need to insert you blank media disk and run the software, push a couple of buttons and the software will do the rest, voila, a perfect backup of your original game. Copying Ps3 games could not get any easier!

Now you can safely store away your original Ps3 game and not have to worry about it getting scratched. The great thing is that if your backup copy gets scratched you can just get your original game out and make another copy. I know I'd rather pay $1.00 for a new disk rather than paying $120 for a new game.
