The idea of video blogging has always intrigued me as sitting down to write full-length blog posts was never one of my forte’s. I finally decided that today was the day to give it a start. Why, it’s so simple. With the new iPhone4′s front-facing camera, I can blog at the most convenient time for me… while I’m driving… and do it safely and efficiently. How’s that for a lesson in time management?
This first video blog post talks about the issues that Apple and the iPhone4 is experiencing with reception and signal strength. It offers my personal insight into the issue as well as some thoughts about why I believe what I do, at least at this point in time. It is the first video blog I’ve done so please forgive any crudeness you find, although I think the “blog while you drive” concept is actually pretty good
I truly hope you enjoy getting to know me better through my video blogs which I will now refer to as “Vlogs” for ease. Best!
For the longest time, the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi has been the most widely used camera on Flickr. With a 10.1 MP Lens, an image sensor vibration cleaning system, 9-point auto focus, and a mid-range price point, it’s easy to see why the Canon camera has been so popular with the photography enthusiasts on Yahoo’s photo-sharing website.
But while Canon has dominated, there’s another camera that’s been zipping up the Flickr charts. Actually, camera phone would be more precise, because we’re talking about the iPhone.
That smartphone, with its weak 2 MP camera and its lack of zoom, is now set to overtake Canon Rebel XTi as the #1 camera on Flickr (). This is according to Flickr’s Camera Finder graphs. Actually, as the LA Times has already caught, the iPhone has already passed the Rebel XTi on a few occasions as the two duke it out for the top spot.
So what does this development mean? First, it’s a reflection of the intense popularity of mobile smartphones and specifically the rise of the iPhone. You always have a camera in your pocket (and with the 3GS, a camcorder too). Just as important is that it’s easy to upload your pictures directly from your mobile phone to your Flickr account. That’s something most digital cameras can’t do, since they aren’t connected to 3G or Wifi connections.
This doesn’t mean people prefer lower quality images over the higher resolution photos that can be captured with cameras of the Rbel XTi’s quality. Instead, it’s a sign that the world is becoming a more mobile place. Being able to get your photos to all of your friends while on-the-go is part of that mobile revolution.
