Is there a digital camera version of the one use camera?

Yes, there are disposable, one-time use digital cameras, however I doubt they are very popular since they tend to be expensive ($20 per camera) and you can get a reusable digital camera for around $50.

What is the difference between a camera hog and a camera ham?

A camera hog "steals the spotlight" from others, while a camera ham is a very over-enthusiastic model for the camera, loves the attention, and loves to be photographed. A camera ham doesn't mind sharing the spotlight. And to think I thought a camera ham was a camera hog that had been "cured". ;-)

Who created the camera?

Alhazen (Ibn Al-Haytham) He lived around 1000AD. Sometime during his life he invented the first pinhole camera, and he was able to explain why the images were upside down (I wouldn't have been able to!). The first reference to the optic laws that made pinhole cameras possible, was observed and noted by Aristotle (So many weird names!!) around 330 BC, who questioned why the sun could make a circular image when it shined through a square hole.

(Good Question!!!)

What are dynamics in photography?

Dynamics are about movement, specifically the viewer's eye as it looks at a photograph. When looking at a photograph, your eye naturally moves from one object to another. Hopefully, that movement begins with the most important subject and then to the less important details of the photograph.

Well, heres a thought....just to get the naked girls out of your head you perv! Chances are.. he works on commission. And chances are.... that commission makes a HUGE difference in his pay check. So aboslutely!!! he should sell them every add on he can too!! everything from uv filters to the sb900. Take this into consideration as well... does he sell point and shoots too? little pocket sized cameras..... how many teenager are taking 1/2 naked pictures in mirrors and posting them on my space? should he not sell those to them because theyre making child porn?! :O yes he should. because what people do to their electronics is their buissness. i don't care if you go home and make out with your toaster every night. that's fine. its yours.

Why does your camera say lens error and how can you fix it?

Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ...

Also you can try twisting the camera lens clockwise gently and it will go down. Do not push it down or else you will break it. Then try turning it on. It might work.

There are several things that you can do to try to correct it. These home fixes seem to work for less than 50% of the lens errors. If the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try. See the below related link "Fixing a Lens Error on a Digital Camera":

Why do they use red lights for photography?

Red, or more often amber filtered lamps of low wattage are used in print darkrooms because the photo sensitive materials used in printing are usually not sensitive to red or amber (red/orange) light. These lights are called "safe" lights, and allow the printer to see as s/he works. (There are some photographic films, notably x-ray films, which are also not red sensitive and may be developed under red safelight.)

The earliest photosensitive materials were "monochromatic," meaning that they were sensitive only to one color of light, which was blue. They were green and red "blind." Later, the addition of certain chemicals to the emulsions made them "orthochromatic;" sensitive to both green and blue, but still not to red light. This characteristic allowed early photographers to use red filters over their windows or in their "dark tents" in the field so they could see what they were doing. Eventually, the inventors added still more chemicals to the emulsions to make them "panchromatic;" that is, sensitive to all colors of light, which remains true for most negative materials and all color emulsions to the present day. These must for the most part be handled in total darkness, but it's not such a challenge as you might think. Just imagine being blind. Blind people do very well in total darkness all their lives.

But since most black and white printing papers do not need to be either very fast or sensitive to red light, a reddish or orange color safe light may be used to make life easier in the print room. When the multigrade printing papers were introduced in the 1970's, the sensitivity shifted and the safelights had to be both dimmer and a more orange color to avoid fogging the paper.

A tip: If you're setting up a print room, know that there is no such thing as a truly "safe" light. Any safelight will fog your paper if it's too close or the wrong color, and safelight filters fade with time and can degrade your images without your noticing. Never expose paper to safelight except when you are ready to use it. Limit the exposure of the remaining paper to safelight. Keep it in its original package or in a special box called a "paper safe." A popular test for safelight "safety" is to make a print exposure (an initial exposure to white light from the enlarger is necessary to hypersensitize the paper). Place the sheet of exposed paper on the bench near your developer tray and cover most of it with an opaque card. With the safelights turned on, slide the card down the exposed print at timed intervals of up to, say, five minutes, then develop the sheet in total darkness. When the test sheet is in the fixer you can look at it in white light. If you see anystriping across the image where the paper was uncovered, you are getting safelight fogging at that interval and may need to reduce the wattage, change the filters, move the safelights further from the paper, or all of the above. You may not get fogging at one minute but it may show up at two or three minutes. I used to insist on absolute safety for a safelight exposure of up to five minutes since I developed my papers always for three full minutes.

What VR stand for camera lens?

"VR" is a Nikon thing. It means "vibration reduction." It's got two parts to it.

In the camera body, there are two angular velocity sensors. One of them detects up-and-down shaking, the other detects side-to-side shaking.

In the lens there is one glass element that's got two motors attached to it. They move the element to compensate for your shaking. The result is you can shoot at shutter speeds far slower than you could without it.

The VR lens only works as part of a system, so if you buy a VR lens and put it on a non-VR camera it won't do you any good.

How long have digital cameras been around?

The first ever digital camera was invented in 1975 by engineer at Eastman Kodak called Steve Sasson.

It was an unwieldy invention, the lens from a Super 8 movie camera, a digital cassette recorder and 16 nickel cadmium batteries! Together with hacked pieces from a voltmeter and an all new charged coupled device imaging array (CCD) it weighed a whopping 8lbs and took 23 seconds to produce the first ever digital image!

Given that the image is already visible on the screen on the back of my digital camera what is the sequence of events in the camera when you push the shutter?

When you push the shutter, all pixels of the camera become active and begin absorbing light while the shutter is open. This allows for high quality and non-grainy pictures. The live preview shown on cameras is only a very low quality preview for a small screen so you know what you are pointing the camera at.

Shutter speed is associated with what?

It is associated with the length of time a photosensitive surface is exposed to light.
