After digital transition, will I have a TV with only the
standard analog cable package
(CNN, ESPN, etc.). I am
worried about digital
transition. After February 17,
2009 (when it takes place),
will standard analog cable
work just as fine. What about
buying an HD tuner with that?
Is anyone worried about
similar situations as well? Do
I need digital cable after
that date? Do I need to buy a
digital converter box or buy a
TV with digital signals just
in case?

You don't have to do anything. The cable companies are under federal orders to continue broadcasting the local Over The Air TV in analog until at least 2012. The FCC will be reviewing their order when 2012 approaches, and might extend the date further. The cable companies do have the option of providing converter boxes instead of the analog transmissions. What they will do regarding their other existing analog TV is up to them. I expect that they will convert some or all to digital as time goes by. If you are not satisfied with their analog offerings, you will have to rent a digital cable box from the cable company. If you do buy a digital TV, then you should buy one with a QAM tuner, in addition to the usual ATSC and NTSC tuners. With these, you can receive digital TV, via antenna, and analog and digital TV via cable (excluding encrypted channels), without a cable box. |

What kind of digital camera do I don't really know anything
about digital cameras but I
want to buy one. What are the
cameras called, that are not
digital, just "normal" ones? I
used to like those better
because the quality seemed to
much more professional. The
lighting seemed warmer, colors
seemed brighter. On digital
cameras it seems that
everything looks paler, etc.
Is it just me? I wanted a
digital camera that had those
qualities to it, with a good
price, if possible. What kind
of digital camera do you have?

There are film (some technophobes call them analog) and digital cameras. There's nothing more or less "professional" about film or digital. It's just a personal (or financial) choice everyone has to make for themselves. I used film and love the pictures I got from it, but I believe my digital pictures are every bit as good. Digital sensors reproduce pictures more like slide/transparency film than print/negative film. If you've never shot slides, it can be a more difficult adjustment for many. The only type of picture that film is significantly better/different than digital is black & white. B&W film is made with silver chunks that give a unique look that is very difficult for digital to reproduce. If you want the closest to film look, you'll need a D-SLR with a CMOS sensor (all the new Nikons, D5000 and above as well as Canon & most Sonys). The biggest advantages for digital are 1) less wasted materials & chemicals and 2)easily switching light sensitivities (ISO) for bright & dark. I use a Nikon D300 and love it. |

What is a digital scanner, is I am filing an online
application that needs a
digital photo. It say there
that if I don't have one, I
could scan my photo with a
digital scanner. I have a HP
scanjet scanner. I know this
is a dumb question and I think
that flatbed scanners are
digital scanners. I am right
or wrong. I just want to scan
my photo so I have a digital
photo, using a digital scanner
whatever it is.
Sorry for this very confusing
question. Hope someone could
help me.
Thanks in advance.

If it scans into a computer, it's a digital scanner. So you are right, your scanner is a digital scanner. If you scan the picture, it will save as an image file on your harddrive. It may even specify where to save it. An alternative to this is if you have a digital camera. You could hook it up via USB to your computer or by the memory card. |
