When purchasing a digital camera you can save money by simply choosing a color that is not as popular as others. If you browse amazon.com you'll see that cameras in colors such as red or teal often have cheaper prices than the exact same model in silver.

Reasons NOT to buy a Flip Camera

Tip Sheet Credibility: 20

submitted by JeanetteCates 2009-08-29 01:36:29 am


I bought a Creative Vado pocket cam instead of a Flip for half the price and basically the same functionality. Works great with iMovie on a Mac with the quick installation of the Perian/Xvid codec. Love it.

A basic rule is to hold the camera level. Next time you're taking a shot, try to look for the horizontal lines and use them as guides. A good example is to make use of the horizon when you're taking a photo of a sunset.

SEO Simple Wisdom

MisterPeach has it right: Clusters of keyword variants rather than a SINGLE keyword target will help you build a strong page for the long haul. Focusing on a single keyword phrase per page is like driving a car with only 1 tire! 'Nuff said.

If you want to block caller id for your cell phone number on a temporary basis you need to dial *67 before dialing the number. (Eg *67 (555) 555-5555). Before doing this, try it out on your own caller ID to make sure it works the way you expect it to.

The very first thing you should do is consider the amount of room and vacant locations that the speakers can be placed in your car. This will go a long way in determining the size of speakers you chose and also the number of speakers you intend to install

Tips on Fast or Slow Lenses

Tip Sheet Credibility: 5

submitted by siheyu 2009-08-03 05:16:56 am


You may often hear the terms ‘fast’ or slow’ to describe a lens or aperture. This has nothing to do with the speed of operation, but to the size of the maximum possible apperture (usually quoted as a suffix to the name of a lens).
