Comment Feed for Channel 9 - How to Pick a Good Point and Shoot http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/previewImages/100/on10_1534_100x75.jpg Channel 9 - How to Pick a Good Point and Shoot Hola world. I’m Scott and I’ve been helping to develop some of the pieces for 10. This is my first ‘on screen’ appearance though and I hope you find something you like here. The basis of the piece was really straight forward. I wanted to go shopping for a point and shoot camera with someone who could help me evaluate what I would find. I’ve wanted a new camera since last Christmas’ blurry mementos and knew I could use some help. So, with a hidden camera, a guy who should know and a too cheap microphone, I went out and got one. And to the Tina and Laura fanboys – relax, they’ll be back tomorrow. en Wed, 22 May 2013 01:53:39 GMT Wed, 22 May 2013 01:53:39 GMT Rev9 Re: How to Pick a Good Point and Shoot posted by Rafael Nieves

I'm not sure whether I really need 8+MP for the next Point-n-shoot i buy...

Scott, how happy are you with your cam, now that you've played with it a bit? Post some photos or something... lol

Also y don't you add a thumbnail file and put it in a zipped folder? When extracted we get MP_ROOT/100MNV01/*.mp4 + *.THM? So people just connect to usb and copy the extracted folder just like that to root of psp?

That would be easier and nice (with thumbnail.. umm.. Yea!)

We are trying to standardize on the PSP format so you should see only a single format in the future.

As for 8MP, I think that is likely overkill for a party point-and-shoot.  You really only need that level of detail in a picture if you are planning to blow one up or want to be able to zoom in very close and crop. 

For me, portability and the ability to handle motion in low light are the biggest things you are after for party shots.

The market is changing all the time and I wanted to understand how I could come back in a year or two and bring some method to the evaluation process.

Considering the rapidly growing market and steady stream of new models, I've constantly delayed my purchase, and after this segment I'm sorry to say no more certain than I was.

This was still a good segment and I recommend more like it, even if it lacks my lovely ladies.

He is not a professional photographer, but if he wanted to accept a pay cut from his phat programming gig (not Microsoft phat, but still pretty phat) he could easily make the grade.  He gives some great lucent commentary on photography in an easy to digest way.  Check him out at:
