Photo - Nokia 1020: how the best camera phone in t...

Dear Nokia,
I am a huge photo addict and i cannot tell u how excited i was when i first lay my hands on the famous 41Mpx of the nokia 1020. Still - this camera phone became the worst - especially with the nokia black OS update.
With Nokia black update i choose to finally take my high res pix into the .DNG format.
The previous settings (34Mp JPEG) was not satisfactory as clearly the jpeg compression in the phone was not good enough.
Now that i take 41Mpix .DNG files - here are my issues :
- No way to retrieve the original 41Mpx that to plug a USB cable to my PC (come on - we are getting to 2014!)
- No way to watch my brand new raw pictures as .DNG is unsupported by Win8 (i needed to download an Adobe .DNG codec that still does not display thumbnail correctly in Win Explorer - but at least i can open them)
- No way to share my high res pictures : as neither SkyDrive, nor Flickr or any website do accept .DNG files uploaded
- Even when i convert my .dng file to uncompressed .jpeg or .png... well once uploaded to SkyDrive, the thumbnail created by SkyDrive is recompressing the pictures and showing the ugly pixel squares in the skies i wanted to avoid.
- the Low Res 5 Mpix of my pictures - i can share wirelessly anywhere - but they all look worse than any average phone picture (iPhone 4S would do an 8 Mpix of any pictures)
So i have got a hard time to understand your strategy here : why anyone would shift from high res .jpeg (12Mb per pictures) to high res .dng (41 Mb per picture!) on a 32Gb storage phone... if none of this pictures can be watched on a PC or decently shared on the internet ???
At least you could have tried better by adopting a more compatible format like .RAW ?
Unhappy customer (who would have loved to praise the 1020 and ditch his iPhone forever...)

DNG images are supposed to be processed and edited before sharing. The format is owned by Adobe which would be why you need their codec/applications.
I would suggest you teach yourself the basics of photo editing and composition as from your remarks it would seem you expect expert results to happen as if by magic which will not happen. You images will only be as good as your imagination and creativity.
Stay on processed and auto mode if you feel you are not able to properly deal with DNG files as this is not as easy as many seem to think. DNG mode _depends_ on you doing the processing of the images and knowing what you are doing and how to do it.

How to stop my iphone 5 for flipping my photo when i use the front camera.

You don't. Look in the mirror...now raise a hand...get the picture?
Same thing applies with your phone.

More than likely you can get the phone back by doing a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.

What is the best camera for me?

I don't know much at all about cameras, so I'm really hoping someone will be able to help me! I'm looking for a camera that's better than your standard point and shoot digital camera but one that doesn't cost a fortune. I want to be able to take pictures of NASCAR cars going down the track without them being blurry. I would also like to be able to take pictures of things that are sitting still or aren't going quite 200 mph. I guess I just want an all around good camera that also has the ability to take good, non-blurry pictures of NASCAR cars in motion. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the best camera and/or lense would be for this. Thanks so much for your help!

This is one instance where good gear helps but knowing how to use it properly is more important. Panning skills will be important, & so will choosing the right focal length of lens. I'll assume you have to shoot from the stands but don't know how far you'll be from the stretch of track you're hoping to shoot the cars along. A camera with a good AF system matched to a lens with fast AF capabilities will help too, but you could do this old school & use manual settings & manual focus too. You would set up the camera based on the lighting favoring a Tv that can freeze the car but blur the background & wheels / tires. Then you pick an ISO to allow shooting in the f8 range at that Tv & pre focus on the section of track in front of you. Pan with the car or group of cars as they go by & take a few shots while they are in the zone you've pre focused on.
If however you're really serious about it & think you'll attend enough events to justify spending the money the 7D, 1D2n, 1D3 & 1D4 are all worthy bodies for action thanks to their AF systems & frame rate. For lenses I suggest considering any of these as a starting point but again you may need longer depending on access to the action. 70-200 f4 L, or the IS version or maybe the f2.8 versions but since the 70-300 L IS seems to have both a very fast & accurate AF system it would be my first choice as a from the stands starting point. The 100-400 L would be my next addition to a motorsports kit but I don't think it's the lens I'd start with.
As for setting up a camera for action (DSLR's but some P & S may work too) I wrote an article which is a good starting point & the suggested shutter speeds for prop planes fit a rookie shooting motorsports so I recommend reading this plus use the link in my last post for another set of lessons from Canon that you should read.

As a side note I started attending R/C events to work on my panning skills so I'd be better at the track. A smooth panning swing is developed through practice & it's the key to good results, and follow through after the last shot in each sequence.

"The Best Camera" app question

Just downloaded "The Best Camera" app. It's nice, but I can't get the Crop tool to work. (The tool doesn't seem to have a name, but its icon is like the Crop tool in Photoshop.) When I tap it, a box appears with the header "Square" and an Apply button, but no marquee appears on the photo and when I tap Apply nothing happens. The app has no Help. Any ideas, many thanks.

Don't know, but I got rid of most photo editing apps I had and opt for the one Photoshop themselves released for free.

I have what I consider the best smart phone on the market, but I resently upgraded my Windows Vista PC to Windows 8 and my Itunes went away. Is there anything that I did wrong or aren't the two compatible?

I have what I consider the best smart phone. I recently upgraded my PC from Windows Vista to Windows 8 and my Itunes went away. Did I do something wrong or aren't the two compatible?

If the update did not preserve all your Applications you may simply have to download iTunes again and instrall it on Windows 8.
There's nothing strange about an update not preserving installed Applications.

I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera. Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ? What hardware and software should I include in the package?

I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera. Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ? What hardware and software should I include in the package?

This is quite an open suggestion, but here are some ideas which might get you started. There are good HD cameras in your price range from Sony, Panasonic and Canon (and maybe other manufacturers). Tapeless formats vary. I have only worked with Sony XDCAM which seems pretty good to me. File sizes for material shot at 35MBS are not too huge and, with the free Sony transfer and conversion programme, are easy to bring into the computer via USB direct from the camera or from a fairly inexpensive converter. The Sony XDCAM EX3 can produce results well up to broadcast quality.
As to hardware, you'll need a powerful MAC - iMac, Macbook Pro or MacPro with 4GB or more of RAM and a good video card. Softwarewise, FCPX is quite a bit cheaper than FC Studio 3 and of course it's 64bit and can make better use of multi-core machines than FCP7. It's also designed to handle HD formats with less hassle than FCP7 and is matched to the latest versions of Motion and Compressor. But you'd probably be wise to search reviews of FCPX before you make your choice - it has some issues.
A good HD monitor will be essential and, for colour correction etc, you may want to consider a second monitor or HD TV foe editing. ( A MacPro is generally the best machine to connect a second monitor to).
This should give you a good editing system, but there are many other things you could add (Photoshop, professional sound monitors, etc)
Hope this helps a bit.

Remove at "space" of a string? How the best way to remove it???

I get a string
e.g:
string s="a b c d s c s g w".
I want as results:
e.g:
string s="a b c d s c s g w".
How the best way to remove it??? I don't want that (value.Split(" ","")).

You could use regex as follows:
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(yourString, " +", " ")

I need to organize medical photos. They are pre-op and post-op photos. What is the best way to organize them. should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble.

I need to organize medical photos. They are pre-op and post-op photos. What is the best way to organize them? should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble? Since they occur on different days, organizing by event does not seem appropriate. Also, organizing by face is not always possible as some are close up photos of an individual eye. Surely, this has been done before, and I don't want to spin my wheels reinventing this.

Who can tell with that amount of information to work with?
iPhoto is not limited to Events or Faces as organizational tools - Albums, Keywords, various forms of metadata can be leveraged for use as well, and these are often more flexible. Really it's up to you to look at the tools available and see if they suit your usage scenario.

The developers may not have made a version compatible with Mac OS X; if they have, it is a separate download.

How come when I ask my siri "What is the best smart phone ever?" it doesn't answer with the Nokia answer?

I'd like to understand why its not answering with the Nokia phone being the best. It was doing it over the weekend, but now it just answers with "Wait... there are other phones?". Never really cared for siri, but I thought it interesting that it gave a rival's smart phone as the answer. Not impressed Apple.

What is the best camera technique to use for this project?

hi, im making a small thing for my gf on motion. i have it so that certain text appears along with pictures. i want the camera to pause momentarily to read what it says and then begin moving to the next set of text/pictures, then stop there for a little while too, then go on to the next one, etc etc.
whats the best way to do this? the pictures/text are NOT in a straight line so making the camera go straight through wont work. one might be directly in front of the camera then i will have made the next set to be directly downward so i want the camera to swoop down there and pause on them, then the next set might be straight up all the way at the top etc. how can i get the camera to move then pause, move then pause over and over where i want it to until the project is over?
sorry if this is a noob question but i have no idea
thanks!!

What version of the studio are you using?
In Motion 3 you could try keyframing the camera move , the zoom layer behavior, or Move behavior.
If you've got Motion 4, try the Camera Framing Behavior.
There are several ways to accomplish what you want to do, it really comes down to what you are most comfortable with.

What's the best camera to buy?

Going to purchase a video camera. What's the best?

HawksWyler,
I too was recently in the market for a camcorder and decided upon the Sony HDR-SR12 based on its reviews. Sony also makes the SR11, which has a 60 GB hard drive instead of 120 GB like the SR12. This is the only difference between the two (other than the price) and the SR11 can supposedly be purchased for around $1,000. I purchased my camcorder online from B&H Photo and it was just delivered today.
