High-end digital SLR camera makers like Nikon, Canon and Sony brag about their megapixels and sensor photosites, but at some point it becomes moot. The same applies to high resolution 1080p HDTVs. Of all the laws of diminishing returns that affect the amount of detail a person can see, be it in a digital photograph [...]]]> http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-photo/better-photo-resolution-health.htm/feed 0 http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/vh3-restorer-hobby-interview.htm http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/vh3-restorer-hobby-interview.htm#comments Tue, 08 Nov 2011 22:27:56 +0000 LS http://www.digitalfaq.com/?p=1796
As is the case with most professional fields, a hobby can turn into a career, and video is no different. If you’re a TV show collector, the appointed family videographer, or simply interested in editing movies on your home computer — and you like doing it, and want to get paid for doing it — [...]]]> http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/vh3-restorer-hobby-interview.htm/feed 0 http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/vh2-make-money-transferring-tapes.htm http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/vh2-make-money-transferring-tapes.htm#comments Tue, 08 Nov 2011 02:44:39 +0000 LS http://www.digitalfaq.com/?p=1792
Understanding the differences between hobby video projects and professional video work is, unfortunately, not the same as acknowledging it. Many novices want to treat video work as an unskilled trade, comparable to flipping burgers or operating a forklift. To these folks, it’s a make-money-fast scheme — and education, knowledge and experience is unnecessary. For consumers, the [...]]]> http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/vh2-make-money-transferring-tapes.htm/feed 0 http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/vh1-professional-vs-hobby-work.htm http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/vh1-professional-vs-hobby-work.htm#comments Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:03:12 +0000 LS http://www.digitalfaq.com/?p=1720
At least once per month, somebody asks me how to get a job working in the video transfer/post industry. Most of them are seeking advice on how to start their own tape-to-DVD business. While this seems to be a fairly direct question, it’s really not. Most people fail to understand the complexities of video, including [...]]]> http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/vh1-professional-vs-hobby-work.htm/feed 0 http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/websites-blogs/vps-hosting-vs-custom-pizza.htm http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/websites-blogs/vps-hosting-vs-custom-pizza.htm#comments Sun, 25 Sep 2011 06:19:01 +0000 KP http://www.digitalfaq.com/?p=1665
As a person that tries to eat healthy, pizza is something I purposely avoid. Most pizza is greasy, over-filled with salty marinara, and topped with fatty artery-clogging meats. It’s a commodity glop for the masses. Of course, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can eat pizza without needing a bottle of Rolaids for dessert.

Before I begin, know this: (1) My favorite manual-focus film camera of all time is the Canon AE-1, and (2) I consider the Canon 5D — the original, not the 5D Mark II — sensor to be a perfect replica of Fuji 35mm negative film. So anybody expecting an anti-Canon hate article will likely be [...]]]> http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-photo/canon-vs-nikon-cameras.htm/feed 0 http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/websites-blogs/comments-vs-forum-posts.htm http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/websites-blogs/comments-vs-forum-posts.htm#comments Tue, 13 Sep 2011 18:12:31 +0000 KP http://www.digitalfaq.com/?p=352
The choice between using blog comments or forum posts to communicate with your readers can be narrowed down to a single question: How much control do you want to have over your message? That’s the question you need to ask when trying to decide between these similar-yet-different approaches to creating an online community. Both styles of feedback are [...]]]> http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/websites-blogs/comments-vs-forum-posts.htm/feed 0 http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/websites-blogs/thank-you-eurovps.htm http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/websites-blogs/thank-you-eurovps.htm#comments Thu, 08 Sep 2011 10:05:52 +0000 KP http://www.digitalfaq.com/?p=548
Too often, online comments and reviews are reserved for scorn, disappointment, or even revenge. Anger causes your adrenaline to rush, and you turn into a red-eyed keyboard monster, ready to semi-libel (or outright libel!) the company or person who has aggravated you. Have you ever heard that myth that it only takes one muscle to smile [...]]]> http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/websites-blogs/thank-you-eurovps.htm/feed 0 http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/dvd-player-fire.htm http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/dvd-player-fire.htm#comments Sun, 04 Jul 2010 15:47:19 +0000 KP http://www.digitalfaq.com/?p=98
Apparently the stove isn’t the only item in my kitchen that can start a fire. About three years ago, I bought a Durabrand DVD player at Walmart to accompany a 13-inch television, where I watch my cable recordings and TV DVD box sets while cooking. According the the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the lid-style player’s circuit [...]]]> http://www.digitalfaq.com/editorials/digital-video/dvd-player-fire.htm/feed 0
