I was expecting this review, 'cause this is the camera that I'm more willing to buy.
In the past 4 or 5 months, I've doing a hard "research" for which is my best camera to get.And I hope you can help me with my desicion, because this is my choose, unless you, my friends, say otherwise.
This is the trick:
@I'm in a budget of $250 price tag at max:
Since I'm not from USA, my currency is weak against dolar, so products that in the USA market cost for about $250, here in my country are about the equivalent to $400-$500 bucks. (food for your thought: Playstation 3 USA release price: $599, in my country, the same released PS3, did cost the equivalent of $999 US dollars.)
@I want a semi pro camera with the best PQ (that that price range can afford) and that camera must be the full manual mode for let me choose shutter speed, focus, etc, etc.
I'm a amateur in the photography business. In fact this will be my first camera that I will be using for taking pictures in the amateur field. My last camera was a Sony DSC-P41, that was 6 years ago. I've reading many photography sites looking for tips, guides and guidelines about photography, so I want a fully functional camera but I dont have the money for a DSLR (those things cost the equivalent to $1200 US dollars, the cheapest, here in my country)
@If you know about websites where I can learn about tips and landscape, city and snow photography, I will thank you
This camera is good for amateur, I use Canon 20D DSLR for better results.
This camera is good for amateurs, But for better results you may consider a Digital SLR camera.

i think this is one of the best cameras
and canon p&s are still the best choices
still my sd 900ti is very good though i bought it 3 years ago
I am anxiously waiting for this review .Recently I had purchsed and am really happy with the performance of the camera's feature, quality of sharpness, zoom etc. But battery power is little cons.
this is the best camera at a resonable price. you wont find a better one!
even that it's a bit bulky is an advantage: stability, comfort etc.
great picture quality too.
In your case I would take a look at the FujiFilm Finepix S1800-S2500HD(it's the same camera, one has an hdmi port, the other doen't). There is also the Finepix S2800Hd, but I haven't any review on it so I can`t recomend it, yet.
I've found them for about 200-230€, wich is a good price for a 12Mpx, 18x stabalized optical zoom with dslr like styling with advanced scene modes and P,A,S,M HD movie etc…
I've been researching for a few months now to see wich fits my needs and I have discovered that these Fujifilm digicams have the best price/performance relation on the market.
You can check the reviews that have been done on these here in photographyblog.com.
This is my personal opinion and I am a Canon Powershot owner.
I`m not saying that this isn`t a good digicam. I`m just saying that the Fujifilm has better picture quality, with this I'm saying it produces less noise up to ISO800.
This Powershot is a great cam to start learning with.
But I think you will like the fuji just a little more.
I bought this camera after reading some good reviews. It was quickly returned !!!
Perhaps I had a rogue sample but the picture quality was awful. Images were very grainy and over saturated, the reds especially so and would over dominate any image.
In addition, in program auto, aperture/shutter priority, the camera does not show both aperture and shutter values until the shutter button is half depressed. Then, if you want to change settings it's necessary to go through a convoluted procedure of half pressing the shutter while at the same time pressing the exposure compensation button and then turning the thumb wheel to affect the change.
This was my first and last Canon camera.
And, I forgot to mention that the battery life is abysmal, even when using high capacity Ni-mh batteries.
@artisan: sounds like you have not a single glue about cameras. buy an iphone.
I believe I am well qualified to air my view having been a photography enthusiast for well over 30 years and have owned and used many different film and digital cameras.
As I mentioned, I may well have had a rogue example of the camera. My comments are my own personal view beased on my experience of using the camera.
Got this camera for a week now & loving it. nice zoom & specially like the ability to use manual controls. Regarding adjustment of shutter speed & aperture values, nothing can beat the simplicity of control dial which lets you adjust the values for different settings in a faster way. Its so convenient. Also I am using Camelion Always Ready rechargeable & the battery backup is good. I shoot a HD video & around 200 pics on single charge, still no sign of Low battery. So thats decent….
Check out some pics taken with canon SX130 IS:
artisan - A poor photographer always blames his tools.
It seems that making an objective comment on this camera, based on my own experience with it, has sparked responses that simply attack me as a person and as a photographer.
If any of you actually read what I said you will note that I commented that the camera I had was most likely a faulty example. Indeed, my retailer was happy to reimburse me my money after seeing some sample pics.
As I see it, the objective of this comment page, like similar pages and forums, is to allow people with first hand experience of a product to air their views about it, thus helping others to make an informed decision.
However, there is obviously no point in doing so when you are derided and your integrity is attacked as has been the case here.
you were crying about canon's menu that is very easy to handle. silly.
So perfectly it's picture quality and easy to capture even the biggners can shoot a good quality photo. Field of view or depth of field is marvellous. As much you aware with the camera so as you like more. I still read the detail-manual everyday to understand the devise. This is my first ever digital camera and it inspired me to purchase a new slr. Thanks canon…..
I have the previous model (sx120) and i am satisfied. This camera has some improvements (hd movies, 28mm) but image quality is the same.
@Artisan: this is an amateur camera, it's good to learn manual controls and to shoot the first real photos. If you want a really good camera you should buy a DSLR or a 4/3, and in the future i'll buy for sure a better camera. I think that using this camera in auto mode is a nonsense. If you have no time to set the manual controls to shoot a photo you can use the program mode, so when you turn on the camera you have your preferred settings like color balancing and exposure value. In Auto mode the results are not good, until you do some post processing like adjusting colors, contrast, etc. But if you use it in M or P mode you always get good results, until you know how to set controls.
So i don't understand your comments.
Sorry i have read now your last comment, i didn't see it. Forget about my comment :)
I bought this camera a week ago and have taken pictures in different conditions. Its simple to use and takes good quality pics for the price and £20 cashback. The video is also good quality but a little slow at focusing so you have to be patient.
It also fits into my pocket. The battery life is poor and thats the only adverse side.
This camera looks a bit better than fuji s1800. The reason why fuji s1800 may appear better to some people is that it uses a lot heavier noise reduction which smudges the detail. These effects are seen even @ 100ISO in fuji s1800, while on Canon SX130 IS they become apparent just around 400 ISO.
Take picture of smaller fine textured things at the wide angle (people's hair, animal fur etc.), look at it on the computer monitor at 100% of magnification and you will see what I mean.
I'm returning s1800 which I bought as a present, as I'm very disappointed by its unnatural watercolor looking picture quality. I am thinking to exchange it to Canon SX130IS, as their prices are very similar where I live.
My previous camera was a simple P&S Nikon Coolpix and boy, what a change. I love this Canon SX130IS, the images are excellent.
First thing I did was scrap the batteries in the box and use a pair of Energizer NiMH 2450mAh instead. Been learning and shooting for two weeks now and still no sign of battery change.
The P, Av, Tv and M modes have got me more interested in photography and I am experimenting with different settings.
Don't see the need for a flash indoors with normal room lighting now, and the zoom, really great.
I exchanged Fuji s1800 to SX130IS. It looks like the Canon camera model resolution and noise handling is better than the one used in Fuji s1800. Fuji had a good design though.
I compared this Canon SX130IS to my Panasonic FZ-35/38. Its picture quality is certainly not worse than the one from Panasonic FZ-35/38 in the range of 100-200 ISO, and its general exposure looks a little bit better overall.
Overal Canon SX130IS looks reasonably decent camera with better picture quality than Fuji s1600/s1800/2500HD.
@Artisan,Thank you for your review and negative comments. You are always welcome to share your views. But please note, you have admitted that your camera is a faulty one and you have also stated 'this is your first and last Canon'. You can't judge a brand like Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc. with just one faulty camera. Even your retailer has admitted that your camera is faulty.
As for your problem with various modes, you need to know- In any P&S digital camera you can not choose both shutter and aperture in Av, Tv & P mode. You have to use M (Manual) mode for that purpose. In Aperture Priority mode you set the Aperture value and the camera sets the shutter speed for you, judging the subject light condition. Likewise in Shutter Priority mode you set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture value. In P (Program Auto) the camera processor sets the both by judging the scene & lighting. I don't know about DSLR modes, as I don't have one, but I think they work on the same principal.
I have one SX120 IS for more than a year; it is perfect for occasional family photos. My cousin has bought SX130 IS two weeks ago after my recommendation, I haven't seen it but he says it is also very good for amateur photography.

@ Artisan… I must have got the one you returned because I am seeing the same results you got. Very poor image quality indoors.. and outdoor the focus is hit and miss… I take the same picture twice and one comes out focused, the other a little off. I had a Canon a540 and it beat the pants off this one with speed and image quality… it was just missing the zoom.
I also don't get all the attacks.. this is a POINT AND SHOOT camera.. I point it… I shoot it… it looks like crap. If I wanted an SLR.. I would have bought an SLR..
Most reviews have stated that anything over 400 ISO causes alot of noise.. and I have to agree. Maybe that is why the AUTO mode produced poor images.. indoors it alway select ISO 800 with no flash and ISO 500 with flash. If I have to adjust the manual settings for every shot I will most likely miss every shot.
I truly hope Canon has a firmware fix to help the modes produce better results… or this one is going back.
I have some question for all the Powershot SX130 users:
I just got this camera that ordered some weeks ago. The PQ is awesome. I come from a old Sony P4q, so for me, this is like getting a professional DSRL.
The question is that, when I take shots or half-press the shutter button to focus, I can hear a mechanical "click" noise coming from inside the lense. Its like if something open o close. Its a strange sound. Maybe its the normal sound of lens themechanism, but I never heard something like that on my old Sony camera.I want to say that this camera has no malfunction or something, take sharp and crispy pictures.
Is normal that mechanical sound?
I just did realize that this mechanical sound comes indeed from the tiny lens inside. This sound is produced when the actual shutter cover and uncover the tiny lens.
Again, I dont mean the "simulated" shutter sound that is done in the system software. I mean, actual mechanical sound.
I dont know if this is normal, since in my old P&S, Sony P41, I havent heard this sound when the shutter close and open again.
Maybe you can re-create what I'm talking about when you toggle between review mode and shooting mode(its the button with the "play" simbol in the back panel). When I toggle, i can hear and see how the shutter close and open and the sound can be heard.
@jackwagon: try the setting- set mode to P, auto focus to center, FOCUS POINT to SMALL, iso to 100-200 at max for daylight, 200-400 for lowlight. Always use flash when the subject is close (5-15 feet). I hope it will significantly improve your shots. After some use experiment with the Av mode.
One more thing: it's not a so called Point and Shoot, it's Bridge Style. Big difference is- it's a P&S with DSLR like manual controls. Meaning: it will be some tough! And all those extra megapixels in the same size sensor means poor lowlight performance.
It is good camera. Canon still needs to improve its picture quality in Low light conditions. The camera is bit hungry on battery.
I love the Kamera as far as it comes down to picture quality, handling etc. Batteries last for about 200-300 shots with Enelops. But the hissing sound coming from the left stereo channel at video mode which seems to be a construction fault is an issue that dims the total fun. The hissing noise can be heard as soon as the camera is on. Anybody has a solution?
i wanna buy powershot sx130is is it good pls let me know about this one.. i am wanna buy using my savings.
i wanna buy Canon powershot SX 130IS is it good please let me know. i am buying this using my savings so….budget with in 15000 rupees
Either my piece is faulty or this camera is itself the worst camera on earth….my old nokia 3230 takes better pictures than this one while being only 1.3MP its really a big fail having bought this piece of crap…I am literally gonna throw this one in dustbin and stick with my cell phone if nothing suits me from now on….
After using this camera for the 1st time on a holiday, I tried to copy pics and vids to my PC via the supplied cable.
At least 75% of the files were 'unreadable' and could not be copied. Yet I can see them when viewing pics on camera's LCD. I was using a 4gb class 6 SD card. Any ideas how to fix problem?
Steve you might have a problem with your SDHC card, or the cable might have something wrong. If you have a card reader try taking the card out of your camera and reading directly on to your PC.
I have two diferent digital cameras from Canon and they didn`t have this problem.
Good luck and let us know if it works.
Thanks for the reply Lynx.
I did manage to copy all the files last night. But only by reading the SD card via the camera. I don't have a SD slot in my PC. There is some software glitch I'll have to figure out. Maybe I'll reload the CD supplied with the camera.
Try to format the SD card inside the camera, that might help, I think Canon usually recomends this when you put new sd cards in, or if htey have already been used for other functions.
After a third try I finally got a proper working camera, no more hot pixel(the first one had two), no sound problem8described above)- all working as it should….
sx130 best price,
i want to buy this camera.. after reading above review i am quite afraid… because i am spending my savings for this.. please let me know is this a really a good one..
Don't worry Chandan it's a great camera for its price. If you have any problem with it you can always use the warranty. Did you read the review? The only problem I see in it, is its short batterry life on alkaline AA's. It would be better to get NIMH rechargables.
I have a Powershot A400 from 7 years ago and it still works perfectly(but slow), and a Powershot A480 from a year and a half ago. Still works perfectly.
hello lynx, i hope you read my previous comment, i bought this sx130 IS with so many reviewing and what i got is totally crap, it has mobile phone like photo quality and sometimes even worse,
i spent Rs.14000+ for it and this is what i got, this was a total scam from canon hyping their brand so much and giving such poor results, i even thought of suing canon for customer fraud. and as you said warranty then i only have one question that getting it repaired with the warranty is not an insurance if they deny and say its alright, u cant do anything then? can you?
Anant if the camera they gave you has cellphone image quality that could only mean 2 things.
A) Thats not the camera you ordered.
B) There is something wrong with the camera.
Is the image size in 12MPX and the quality in fine or super fine?
If you show us some of those pictures maybe we could hekp you.
Any ways you should be abe to get your money back or a new camera and pay the difference.
This depends much on every countries laws. In Europe you are supposed to have a 2 year warranty on everything you buy, everything, clothing, cars, stereos, computers, shoes, etc. Thats the theory, but the truth is a bit different. In real life dependeing on where you made your buy, you get better or worse treatment.
lynx here you can see some images from my canon powershot sx130 is
these all are my photos, i compared them with cell phone that was an ironical expression for the picture quality so don't take it literally as i meant that the pictures are not as good as expected and shown in the reviews i read, not even one photo shown on web reviews matches the dullness i have with this camera, in case u can't get to this url ,Let me know!
Hai, every one I am new to this forum and I am planning to buy a P&S camera, 3 are in my list and please suggest me which one should I buy.
Fujifilm finepix S2500HD
Canon Coolpix SX130 IS
and Nikon Coolpix L110.
Out of these 3 which one will give me best image quality for P&S. I am neither a professional nor desire to do any advanced settings on camera as I am not aware of all these terms. Please suggest me a good one. Dont go for the cost, as all are costing same, rather Fuji is less $10.
Madhu I think the Canon might give you the best photo quality, that or the Fuji.
That Nikon was given bad reviews, though I think that for a simple point and shoot any of them will give you good enough photo quality.
The best HD video is for the Canon also, including stereo sound.
Can anybody help me.
Im going to buy camera and i have spent a lot of time looking for a one good for me.
Which is better do you think?
Ricoh cx3 or Canon sx130?
Maybe another one is better?
Hey it's still me.
Cany anobody who has sx130 is tell me if can I set the shooting interval and the number of pictures when shooting several pictures with the Self-timer ?
Time delay of upto 30 sec. and up to 10 shots can be set in self timer.
am planning to buy this camera as it is having manual controla and a good optical zoom.
also it's having that 1cm macro.. things looking much promising to an amateur photographer.
don't know about the battery life as i haven't used it yet.
what about taking moving photos, ie photos in sports mode etc… is it getting blurred?
rechargable batteries for this camera?? also how long do they last??
hey which one to go:
cannon sx 130 or Nikon L120 ??
im not a pro shooter, just want a decent cam. shoot and run kind of.
I reviewed this camera's photos and videos on the net. It appeared to take nice photos on this site and I found the same on amazon.com where owners download their pictures.
I then went to youtube a few days ago to see this models video quality. I downloaded the videos and burned them to a dvd-r and watched them on my Toshiba Regza 37 inch set listening to the audio through a headset.
Overall, the color quality and image briteness on the vidos were quite nice. The color saturation was quite good. None of the videos looked boring to me in their image quality and color saturation. In fact, the color quality and saturation was quite extroadinary IMHO.
Then there is the stereo sound. Minus some windnoise the stereo imaging was extremely good as was the overall sound quality.
I think this unit uses AA batteries.
I think for the money this is about the best camera you could buy for pictures and videos. The price is a bargain. Occasionally with all products you hit a "sleeper" and this unit is a sleeper. I do not think anyone who wants really good pictures and videos on the cheap could not go wrong with this camera. I think it is the best thing that Canon or anybody else makes regardless of price.
i am confused between canon sx130IS & nikon coolpix s8100. i have heard some good things about s8100.so m lookin for a cam that can take clear pics in daylight n in low light conditions too not forgetting decent videos. s8100 hasnt got manual controls but its has CMOS sensors while sx130IS has CCD sensors.how much difference these two sensors make?can sx120 take low light pics better than s8100(has got night mode).can anyone help me on this?thnx..
Get a Canon SX130 today.Its fantastic.I am back from a tour just after i bought it and the kind of pics it produced were amazing…...
I did a research and considered sony H55,fuji s1800,nikon L110.
The best turned out to be the canon in the price range.the manual settings are very easy to control and takes brilliant photos.night photography is amazing.
The short battery life is bit of a concern and you must have 2 xtra rechargeable batteries always in your pocket.
All in all a fantastic buy!!
@dew.If u hv the option pls compare the two at the store.i did the same and you can see too that sx130 is a much better camera.
Question for anyone. I'm considering the Cannon SX100. My grandson plays hoceky and flouresent lights are terrible to take photo's in. Has anyone used it in hockey arena's? Or do you have a suggested camera in this price range that works great?
i've bought this camera a few months ago at the price of Rs. 12500 about 275 USD. It has a professional touch by nature first of all i was not interested in photography it made me a amateur in this fiel for this i thank cannon…as i am a amateur noise is not a big problem for me the noise doesnt affect upto 100-200 ISO. i'll say if any one juz wants a digi cam for un professional purpose or amateuring ur professionalism this is ur 1…
i've shot some moving images by juz increasing in the shutter speed in manual mode..
After reading this review and all of your comments I am pretty sure this will be my new camera. But I am also interested in Canon PS sx220 and xs210. I want a camera with more than 5x zoom, higher than average PQ (even at evening and indoors) and that isn't that bulky. Which one should I choose?
The Powershot SX220 is the way to go.
It has been honored as the best superzoom of the year.
ok so I am going on a trip soon and I was wondering if I should get this camera because it seemed easy and affordiable but I'm kinda scared now so should I still get it???
Used a Nikon FM for 30 yrs & just got the SX130IS. When I asked the gal at store if it would take 20 pics, she said "I dunno, maybe not that many." Ha! No card in the thang which is how much I know. I'm interested in finest quality stills, indoor and out. Being used to 24/36, I don't need high numbers, just high quality. So, question is, if even relevant, what kinda card & will scandisc 2G perform to my desires if I don't need that many pics?
i use the old Nikon D5000 as my main camera and i bought the SX130 IS as a second camera to carry around. I have to say i'm quite impressed with this little baby, it has great image quality, nice color rendition, the video is pretty cool with the stereo sound and it's pretty straightforward to use.
Great super-zoom,
thnx a lot Canon !
Lots of Improvement than the predecessor SX120IS

The shutter mechanism on my daughter's 6 mo old sx 130is litteraly fell apart into its componet pieces while she was taking a picture.
The camera is not damaged as far as can tell and just seems to have failed in the shutter department.
Help and what would cause this
I'm planning to buy a P&S camera,,have 3 options:-
1- canon SX130 IS
2- canon A3300 IS (16 mp)
3- sony DSC WX9 (16 mp)
I'm somewhat confused as I came to know that,,more the mega pixels in a tiny sensor,, worse is the image quality..
So whether A3300 IS or Sony (both 16 mp) would be good or bad..?
Plz help..!
@ Yashwant.
i think Canon SX130 will a gud option as it has more zoom capacity. one drawback is that its battery back up is less with Alkaline battery
Thanx 4 reply, but my main priority is excellent image quality in both day & night shooting…
I'm also a beginer in photography & prefer to shoot mostly in Auto mode..
Previously,, I had a canon A3000 IS (10mp) but I wasnt satisfied with its image quality
So whether this one is gud 4 me or 16mp canon/sony compact digicam..?
Hi friends, i m new in photography…. i want to buy a camera i m bit confuse in these two:
canon sx130is
nikon cool pix s8100
i want manual control, better image quality in outside, indoor as well as in night or low light
Please suggest me which one is better in performance
HI, I have this cam too, could anyone tell me why the colours of photos are different comparing to reality, for example my skin is bright but in the photos it is like orange? :)
I am new into photography.
I am confused between these three cams:-
Nikon coolpix L-120
Canon Powershot SX130IS
Sony DSC H70
I want it for normal use and picture quality should be good in both day and night.
and which would be the best camera and worth money.
Puneet, I tested the 130IS for quite some time and after now using a highly esteemed Sony Hx 5 I tend to get again the Canon, because in picture brilliance and Video sound quality it surpasses the Sony. Also the battery issue is no problem when using the Sanyo Eneloops.
my last canon was stolen from my car. I bought this canon sx130 to replace it love the easy operation for the money you can't beat it.
Hi everybody!

I'm really confused on witch camera to buy so far i've made a list, but now i saw this canon model and i really like it. I could really use your professional opinion on witch camera to buy. Here is the list:
Canon Powershot SX130IS
Canon Powershot SD1400 IS
Olympus SZ-10
Olympus VR-320
Fujifilm Finepix F300EXR
Fujifilm FinePix S2950
Nikon Coolpix S6100
I know the list is a bit long, but i really dont know which to choose, i'm looking forward to your
Thank you in advance
I have this camera, and it makes a constant hissing noise. You can only hear it when your in a quiet place, or by puttin it next to your ear. You can hear it in recorded videos too, which is annoying. You can hear it as soon as you turn the camera on - even in playback mode when the lens is shut. Anyone else have this problem?
guys plz suggest me what should i choose between canon sx130is or nikon L120?
Very good camera, but I would like to be able to add a polarizing and or uv filter. Is here any way that can be accomplished? Would like to know where to purchase.
RAJARSHI : go for Cannon,i L120 bulky, of course it has more zoom and all but inpsite being point to shoot sx130 has brilliant picture quality ..
Rajarshi: I was also confused between the two lately i bought Nikon L-120 and i am not regreting it .
this is the best camera of canon in a low price.its very compact, light and is a semi slr. i like this camera and suggest all of u to buy this for rs 11000/- only
Am bit confused either to select Canon powershot SX130 IS or Canon IXUS 220 HS. Please give me a good Suggestion.
its awsm , check the detailing of sx 130 is. its simply owsm i m lovin it.
owsm detailing & color
buy this camera ... 10k
I had this camera's predecessor for nearly 2 years and thought I would change it for the SX130is. The camera itself is almost identical, but I had one moan about it - the reduced size of the tab on the zoom lever - I just could not live with it, mu finger just kept slipping off (it looks like the new SX150is is the same).
The tab on the SX120is zoom lever seemed much bigger, so that your finger did not slip off when zooming. Unfortunately, the tab on the SX130is is almost non-existent and I had to get rid of the camera because of this; which is a shame, as I really liked the rest of the camera.
Why do manufacturers do this kind of "redesign"? It just makes the camera unusable, especially if you have short nails!
I had this camera for more than 2 months now.
I am happy with the picture quality and all other features, but I am not able to use digital zoom while taking picture (it was working earlier). It works while recording though. Menu shows digital zoom option disabled. Can anyone help me with this issue.
In the menu somewhere you should be able to find a 'Reset All' option. clicking that should bring back the digital zoom.
Just bought one of these, had a choice between this and the SZ-10 and the rz-18 and went with this SX130IS, more manual options and the only P&s in this price range to allow optical zoom with stereo sound in 720p (thats what sealed the deal for me).
Loved this camera. Wanna have this as soon as possible.
I have two grandchildren that I see at school pageants on stage. I am usually too far away to take pictures, about 20 to 30 feet.
But with this camera I was able to take excellent pictures on the low light setting without flash or tripod.
Check picture quality before you buy yours!
Bought this camera 6 months ago. Canon A720 IS was my previous camera. Picture quality of SX130 worse than my phone's camera. Propably there is a problem with some of them. Pictures are 12Mpxs but picture quality is awful (same as Anant's photos in Flickr). Artisan, Anant and I seem to be very unlucky.
I don't believe that I don't have a chance if I ask for a new one or a repair. Lost 200$ :-(
I just bought this camera and am looking forward to trying it out. I had looked at a couple of other Canon P&S having ruled out Nikon due to recurring problems with the lense cover not closing completely. I picked this up at a clearance price, not having read any previous info on this particular model. Glad to see most people on here, and other review sites I have looked at, seem to love it. Perhaps I will be able to provide some of my own feedback in a couple of weeks.
my question is about continuous shooting. I need to take continuous shooting for my child so I need to know How many images this camera can take continuously in one second?
and what is the relation between continuous shooting and shutter speed ?

Don't make it a stupid Super Bowl Sunday
February 3, 2013
The Super Bowl will be played this evening. It is America's biggest unofficial holiday....
These are words to live by and I sure do appreciate them. I would rather read a 100 articles like this every day if it helps to save just one life. It's the vivid and harsh reminder that somewhere in America, a life will end today. A human life will end and it will be the result of a bad choice and alcohol related. The odds of probability are so high.
This is where the sermon and preaching should begin. The actions of the readers. I'm picking up the phone and calling loved ones and friends and reminding them and offering up, that I am only a safe ride away. I hope many follow suit. Thank you Salem News!

You cannot always blame the government.
Some people had a horrible night Monday. The snow struck, hard, and roads became impassable.
We have had impassable roads before, but this situation came up in a hurry.
No one was really prepared. Snow was predicted, but only a few inches, not nearly a foot. When snow falls that fast for that long, there's not much you can do.
It took road crews time to respond, and some people suffered. We sympathize with their plight. Can't go forward, can't go backward, can't go anywhere.
But you cannot blame local governments and their workers for being unable to clear the roads in 30 minutes. They did their best, it just took longer than some wanted.
For those stuck, it was a matter of bad timing and bad luck.
But not the government's fault.

The Deportees is Doyle's first-ever collection of short stories, and each tale describes the cultural collision-often funny and always poignant-between a native and someone new to the fast-changing country. From a nine-year- old African boy's first day at school to a man who's devised a test for "Irishness"to the return of The Commitments's Jimmy Rabbitte and the debut of his new multicultural band, Doyle offers his signature take on the immigrant experience in a volume reminiscent of his beloved early novels.

"Having the body you want begins with loving the body you have." – Mandy Ingber
Who has better arms than Jennifer Aniston? I have been fortunate enough to work with Hollywood's Hottest Body. I cannot tell you how many e-mails I receive asking how to get Jen's arms. My reply to this is always, "But what about MY arms?"
You're not alone! I too had a complex about my arms. I remember when I was 16, and I knew a guy who would only date models … with skinny arms. Immediate complex. I have never had skinny arms. Even today, when people look at my arms, they say, "Great arms." That is because I have muscle.
The key, ladies, is to begin to appreciate what we DO have. Although I spent years thinking that I had fat arms, I am now approached by women daily who want to know how they can get arms like mine.
One reason that we all relate to Jennifer and feel like we could possibly have what she has, is because she is neither too skinny nor too muscular. Her body is a balance: very feminine, yet toned. The big secret for getting this look is consistency.
Here are my top 5 daily toners for arms like Jen's:
1. Vinyasa Flow
Jenni Anspach
Plank Pose
Low Plank
Upward Facing Dog
Downward Facing Dog
2. Spinning: Rhythm Press
Yes, I like Spinning with my yoga. A little peanut butter in my chocolate. Cardio activity burns fat, and when you burn fat while building muscle,you change the ratio of stored fat to lean muscle mass, and your arms appear to be more defined. The rhythm press is fun, because it expresses the music, and it engages your triceps.
3. Yogalosophy Side Plank/Triceps DipsArm balances in general are excellent for strength-building. Hold the yoga pose for 8 breaths on each side and strengthen your shoulders. Then pair the move with the triceps toner. When the toner kicks in, get ready for the burn. Did I say sleeveless dress?
Jenni Anspach
Begin in plank. Bring the feet together. Move the right hand directly below the face. Rock your body to the side, so that you are balancing on the right hand, and the outside edge of the right foot. Feet are flexed and the underside of the waist is lifting up. So your top hip is lifting up towards the ceiling. Press the bottom hand into the floor, and rebound off the mat so that you are not dumping into the right shoulder. Keep the right arm straight (but not locked). If you are super flexible to the point of hyper-extension, stay aware of not locking the elbow. Slowly bring your body back to the center and balance it out. Repeat on the left side. Five breaths.
Move to TRICEP PUSH-UPS (x8) – THEN PULSE (x8) – BACK TO SIDE PLANK (x2)
From side plank on the left side, slowly move onto the hands and feet with the front side of the body facing upwards, somewhat like tabletop pose. Knees should be bent at roughly 90 degrees, with both feet flat on the floor and palms flat just below the shoulders, with the fingers pointing towards the heels. Hug the elbows in, and lower your upper body in an upside-down push-up. Do 8 repetitions. At the end of 8 reps, pulse for 8, then move back into side plank. Repeat two more sets.
4. Light Weights
Courtesy Mandy Ingber
5. Crow Pose
This challenging yoga pose is one to work up to. Once you get the hang of it, this is a great party trick. Even if it's not quite mastered, good times are to be had.
Here's how: Squat down on toes, knees open. Snuggle the knees up to the triceps, and look forward so you know where you are. Start to lean your weight forward until you get your knees as high onto triceps as you can. Start by taking one toe off of the floor and then the other. You may use a yoga brick to perch on to get some height. Begin by crouching on it to get the knees higher on triceps.

Behind Google's Antitrust Escape
After early hopes for a sweeping antitrust case against Google Inc., it became clear to the Federal Trade Commission last fall that no such lawsuit was in the offing.
A clinching moment came in November when FTC staff, who had exhaustively investigated the Internet search giant for 18 months, told the five FTC commissioners that they shouldn't bring a broad antitrust case, rebutting the theory that Google abused its dominant market position in Internet search to favor its own products and services at rivals' expense.
Instead, in a series of packed meetings at room 432 of FTC headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., they recommended pursuing a series of smaller issues. That culminated Thursday in an announcement by the FTC that it wouldn't bring sweeping charges against Google.
Annotated FTC Statement on the Probe
Highlights of the Settlement
- Search Bias: The FTC didn't find enough evidence that Google manipulated search results to favor its own products to pursue a lawsuit.
- Scraping: Google agreed to refrain from misappropriating, or scraping, content from rival's websites, such as restaurant reviews.
- Opt Out: Google will allow websites to opt out of its Google's vertical services, such as shopping or travel, without affecting their rankings in Google's core search engine.
- AdWords: Google will give online advertisers more flexibility to run ad campaigns on AdWords and rival ad platforms.
- Patents: Google agreed to allow competitors reasonable access to Motorola patents based on wireless industry standards.

The Mountain View, Calif., company agreed to make voluntary and nonbinding changes to some aspects of its search business, in what has been widely hailed as a victory for the Internet behemoth.
People familiar with the FTC's probe said both staff and several commissioners felt that Google engaged in questionable behavior, but they struggled to come up with a convincing theory of how consumers, and not just competitors, were harmed.
Even if some in the commission didn't like what Google was doing, they concluded the tactics weren't necessarily violating antitrust law, people familiar with the process said.
At the same time, Google had also undertaken extensive efforts to set an escape hatch from U.S. antitrust efforts.
The Internet company spent years on lobbying and other efforts to build up goodwill in Washington, becoming the fifth-highest spender on lobbying in 2012, shelling out more than $14 million related to the antitrust probe and other issues, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics and lobbying disclosure statements.
Google also dispatched executive chairman Eric Schmidt and other employees to garner support from lawmakers, adding political pressure to the landscape. In November, for instance, staff members of U.S. Senator Mark Udall, a Democrat from Colorado, spoke with Google representatives.
Afterward, Mr. Udall sent a letter to FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz, encouraging the agency to proceed "cautiously" in its probes of Internet companies, which "have some of the highest consumer satisfaction rates in the country" and have created millions of jobs.
Mr. Udall later spoke by phone with Google's Mr. Schmidt about the letter and other matters, said Mr. Udall's communications director, Mike Saccone.
He added that the senator "has a great working relationship with companies that do business in Colorado...such as Google.
Mr. Udall's letter to Mr. Leibowitz, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal and earlier reported by Politico, was one of many such letters that the FTC received from Congress.
Some lawmakers publicly expressed concerns that were shared by Google—namely, that too much inside information about the FTC's investigation was being leaked to reporters.
One of them was U.S. Senator John Kerry, a democrat from Massachusetts, who spoke with Mr. Schmidt by phone in November, said a person familiar with the matter.
It is unclear what the men spoke about, but during a December Senate hearing involving nominees to posts at the FTC and other agencies, Mr. Kerry stated that FTC investigations and settlement negotiations had become "poorly kept secrets" and suggested that the agency's deliberations were being leaked for "strategic advantage."
An FTC spokeswoman declined to comment.
People close to the FTC's probe said the agency decided not to pursue charges against Google because they couldn't make a case, not because they were being pressured politically.
The FTC's decision also shows how anti-Google lobbying from rivals like Microsoft Corp. MSFT 0.14 % had little effect.
Microsoft had pressed regulators to bring an antitrust case against Google.
The Redmond, Wash., software company had 73 registered lobbyists on its payroll in 2012 to work with Congress, the FTC and other government agencies, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Microsoft has also helped bankroll groups like FairSearch.org, a coalition of technology companies opposed to Google.
"We engage lobbyists in D.C. to help on many diverse topics, as reflected in our lobbying disclosures," a Microsoft spokesman said.
In a sign no Google effort was too small to go unnoticed by Microsoft, John Sampson, a director of Microsoft's federal politics operations, last year urged at least one member of Congress from Washington state not to support a Google event in Seattle last year called "Get Your Business Online" that catered to small businesses.
Google spent millions of dollars on Get Your Business Online, a nationwide campaign that included multiday workshops in states such as Iowa and Texas in which Google helped local businesses set up websites and an online business listing tied to its search engine, free of charge.
In an email to a congressional office in March 2012, Mr. Sampson said such events were partly aimed at soliciting small businesses to support Google.
"Although these programs have an air of goodness," he wrote in the email reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, "Google is in fact using this program to develop a grass-tops network" of small businesses they can "activate to their defense" if the FTC tries to bring a case.
Some Washington lobbyists, including those who have done work for Google, said that the Get Your Business Online effort has perhaps had more impact on federal lawmakers than any lobbying done on Capitol Hill.
A Google spokesman declined to comment. A Microsoft spokesman declined to comment on Mr. Sampson's outreach efforts.
Within the FTC, Mr. Leibowitz over the fall told several parties that the Web-search case against Google would be hard to win, according to the people familiar with the probe.
The agency increasingly turned its attention to other issues, including whether Google misused certain key patents it acquired when it bought handset maker Motorola Mobility. Google settled that charge Thursday. The company gave advertisers more flexibility to use rival search-engine ad systems and said it would allow rivals to opt out of having their content appear on some Google websites.
The FTC ultimately ended up badly splintered on the probe's conclusion, particularly on the agency's acceptance of Google's voluntary changes.
Mr. Leibowitz defended the commitments the FTC extracted from Google, saying they would benefit American consumers in a timely way. "It is good for consumers, it is good for competition, it is good for innovation, and it is the right thing to do," he said.
But one commissioner, J. Thomas Rosch, who in November had offered up a new, alternate theory on how the agency could proceed with a broad case against Google that found no support among the other four commissioners, in a dissent expressed worry that the FTC had set a bad precedent for future negotiations with other companies.
Since Google wasn't held to a binding legal commitment in its search business, "going forward, parties under investigation are likely to demand similar treatment," Mr. Rosch said. "Failure to do so would imply that Google has received preferential treatment in this investigation."
Meanwhile, Google's rivals continue to hold out hope that regulators elsewhere—such as in Europe and among U.S. state attorneys general—will trip up the Web giant.
A spokesman for the European Commission's antitrust watchdog told several news outlets on Friday it had "taken note" of the FTC decision but it had no "direct implications for our investigation."
The Texas state attorney general's office said its parallel probe of Google's search-engine practices, which includes other states such as Ohio, would continue. Texas, which declined further comment, has battled with Google to obtain certain company documents that Google said were privileged and shouldn't be part of the probe.
"I would call [the FTC decision] maybe the conclusion of one battle, and the war rages on," said Patrick Lynch, a former Rhode Island attorney general who says he has lobbied officials in virtually every state on behalf of FairSearch, the group pushing for antitrust action against Google.

LOS ANGELES — Mumford & Sons wrapped up a completely unpredictable Grammy Awards with perhaps the most surprising win of the night, taking home album of the year for "Babel."
It was an event that even shocked the London folk-rockers.
"We figured we weren't going to win anything because The Black Keys have been sweeping up all day, rightfully so," Marcus Mumford said.
Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys ended up the night's top winner with four trophies, including producer of the year and three rock category victories with bandmate Patrick Carney. But it was hardly a clean sweep as The Recording Academy's thousands of voters spread the love for the year's top singles.
Fun. took home major awards best new artist, in something of an upset over Frank Ocean, and song of the year for the transcendent anthem "We Are Young," featuring Janelle Monae.
"I didn't think we were going to win this one," lead singer Nate Ruess said after the best new artist win. "Frank Ocean. The Lumineers. Everybody, amazing."
Like Mumford & Sons, Gotye busted up the predictions, taking record of the year for 2012's top-selling single, the haunting "Somebody That I Used To Know," featuring Kimbra, and finished with three awards.
Prince, in hood and sunglasses and carrying a sparkly silver cane, presented him with the record of the year trophy and the Australian paid tribute to The Purple One's influence.
"A little bit lost for words, to receive an award from the man standing behind us with the cane," Gotye said. "Many years listening to this man's music growing up and a big reason I was inspired to make music. Thank you."
Jay-Z and Kanye West had three wins along with Skrillex.
The Black Keys took best rock performance for "Lonely Boy" during the main telecast and earlier in the day won best rock song for "Lonely Boy" and best rock album for "El Camino."

Originally yes, but not anymore. Ana is now demanding basically the same as Nash maybe even worst.
I can't believe some of the packages people are willing to live with including Filppula. Great defensive forward, natural center but can produce near 70 pts at wing. Makes his own chances and improves his linemates. I have an idea: package him with two prospects and picks for similar production, less familiarity and guaranteed chemistry on/off ice, but more goal-scoring!
I don't understand why we would be so afraid of Semin who could easily outscore Ryan on Datsyuk's wing and cost us only cap-space (which we have a load of). Semin's attitude on a veteran team with character like the Wings is worse than losing a character guy in Filppula, plus picks and prospects? And for Nash we'll have to give up even more.

When the graves of 37 of Charleston's earliest Colonial residents were found beneath the Gaillard Center construction site last month, local history buff Jordan Simmons wasn't surprised.
In the late 1960s, Simmons worked across town building the Burke High School gymnasium, where crews discovered a number of skulls with teeth, along with other bones, buried in the earth.
"There were also old pieces of wood and other material among the remains," recalled Simmons, of Summerville.
"I know that the supervisors on the job knew about our findings because they came over and looked at what we found. We were told to continue working."
A lot has changed since then. In the past two decades Charleston has shown more reverence toward forgotten graves and buried valuables.
Following is a list of some of the more distinctive finds of the last few years. And for anyone out there still hunting around for bullets, pottery and other artifacts, stay encouraged. Last month a man on Sol Legare Island reported finding a Civil War officer's saber buried point-down in the muck.
1 - Citadel graves
For decades, the largest forgotten cemetery in the city's history lay hidden beneath The Citadel's football stadium. But thanks to the sleuthing of some Confederate re-enactors and the school's planned upgrade of the Johnson Hagood site, the remains of 341 graves, plus other Civil War dead, would be found and recovered.
The larger, civilian cemetery probably contained immigrants, sailors and the poor near where Jordan Simmons worked all those years ago.
The Confederate dead, meanwhile, numbered about four dozen, and included the first crew of the submarine H.L. Hunley, who were moved to Magnolia Cemetery and reburied in a ceremony that drew thousands.
The Rebel dead faced particularly disrespectful conditions. It is believed that most of the remains were left behind when Charleston built the 21,000-seat stadium in 1948.
City Council gave the builders permission to relocate them, but in many cases only their headstones were moved.
2 - George Washington political button
In the mid 1990s, a single gold button commemorating President George Washington's 1789 inauguration was discovered in shallow dirt by a College of Charleston student at the Dill Sanctuary property on James Island. Because it represented the nation's first inauguration, experts said the button is priceless, with only a few known to exist.
About the size of a modern-day campaign button, circling the perimeter are the words "LONG LIVE THE PRESIDENT." It probably was worn on a man's dress coat.
Washington stopped in the Charleston area in 1791 during an extended tour of the South, but it may have belonged to a Washington supporter, a Charleston friend or member of his entourage.
3 - Giant shark's teeth
Divers and diggers around the region regularly report finding gargantuan-sized shark teeth representing monsters from prehistoric eras. Young children playing in the dirt and divers hunting the Cooper River have reported coming back with hand-sized specimens, some reaching 6 inches in length.
Megalodons, giant 50-foot sharks that swam the seas when dinosaurs walked the Earth, are the accepted owners.
4 - Artesian wells
Wells that served downtown Charleston residents beginning around the mid-1800s were once a free source of fresh drinking water. In 1904 the Charleston Light and Water Company completed construction of the Goose Creek Reservoir and Hanahan Steam Pumping Station, bringing in the flow.
Today, several of the artesian well fountains remain in place, but they no longer flow artesian water. One remains at Meeting and Wentworth streets by the city fire station, and another at Rutledge Avenue and Calhoun Street.
5 - Torpedo boat burried on Tradd Street
A famous post-Civil War photograph of Charleston shows a gutted Confederate torpedo boat resting at the seawall at what is now Tradd Street downtown. Local figure Lee Spence wanted to see if it might still be there, trapped 8 feet below the asphalt.
Spence and his team used ground-penetrating radar to see if a "David," as the low-riding, cigar shaped boats that patrolled Charleston Harbor were called, was still in the ground.
Their work may have found something. Spence reported "a pattern of anomalies under the pavement" consistent with what one would expect from a 50-foot, steam-driven, wood-hull torpedo boat. No excavations were done, since continuing the search would have meant a major removal of the neighborhood street.
One theory is that the boat was left to rot and was swallowed over when the city began expanding past the seawall around 1900.
6 - Slave tags
A product of Charleston's brutal past is now one of its most highly sought-after and more valuable collectibles.
During the 19th century, it became common practice for slave owners to begin "renting" their property to others in need of skilled labor. Slave tags soon became an accepted form of city licensing, to create revenue and to help track the movements of slaves.
The copper stamps included an issue number, date, and the occupation of the holder. Most were good for one year.
Today, the tags are highly prized, with some known to go for tens of thousands of dollars at auction. Some have been found at the bottom of wells and privies and under houses.
7 - Cannonballs downtown
With as much construction and street work as Charleston sees, it is not unheard of for fully intact projectiles from the Civil War to be uncovered periodically.
During the siege of the city, Union forces shelled Charleston for nearly 600 days, firing ordnance of various sizes, landing into homes, streets and gardens.
The most famous of the assault guns was the Swamp Angel, a 16,500-pound, 8-inch Parrott gun set up on Morris Island at Marsh Battery. The range was more than four miles.
Last year, landscapers working at a Broad Street residence unearthed a 5½-inch cannonball while uprooting a Washingtonia Palm. Speculation is that it's older than the Civil War, and likely a British cannon- ball fired into the city during the Revolutionary War.
8 - Slave graves halted fire station
The Citadel isn't the only site of forgotten graves. At various locations around the city, including on the Medical University of South Carolina campus, long-lost burial grounds have been uncovered.
One notable find came in 1996 near the intersection of Folly and Country Club roads. Crews clearing land for a City of Charleston fire station found a graveyard thought to be for slaves who worked the nearby McLeod Plantation in the 19th century.
The site was later dedicated as Sankofa Memorial Garden, in honor of all the Africans brought to the Lowcountry against their will. Construction of the fire station was halted after surveys revealed 99 graves on the site.
9 - Mortar shells at Folly Beach
The summer of 2011 brought heavy erosion to the south end of Folly Beach, where the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission operates a public park. Tons of sand was scraped away, exposing deep cuts of the island's past. Among the items uncovered were two mortar rounds, probably from the pre- or early World War II days. The rounds were picked up and carried to a park employee by a curious island visitor. The weapons were destroyed by a bomb squad. Each of the devices was described as tubular, measuring about 2 feet in length, and as big around as a softball. How they got there remains a mystery.
And the digs go on
The archaeological excavation of the region's very first settlement still can be viewed live at Charles Towne Landing State Park in West Ashley. Inside the park, teams are examining the "Miller Site" that dates to the late 1600s, or just after the first European settlers arrived in 1670. An uncovered floor dates to at least the 1690s. It is made of lime and crushed oyster shells, and measures 3 inches thick and roughly 12 by 15 feet.

Wanted: a new sheriff in town.
That's the message conveyed by Erie County Democrats on Friday when they issued a call for candidates to run for sheriff this year, even if insiders say Lt. Bert Dunn is emerging as a leading candidate to challenge Sheriff Timothy B. Howard, the Republican incumbent.
"I think Bert is a great candidate," Erie County Democratic Chairman Jeremy J. Zellner said. "He has all the characteristics we are looking for in a sheriff and a wide range of skills."
Still, other names like retired Sheriff's Sgt. Richard Dobson and Deputy Timothy Higgins also have met with Zellner to discuss the race. And the chairman emphasized that he remains open to other candidates too.
"The citizens and taxpayers of Erie County deserve a sheriff who will put their safety above any political concerns," Zellner said. "Our community needs new leadership in the Sheriff's Department."
Howard, meanwhile, has not yet declared his candidacy for re-election but is expected to run.
According to several sources familiar with the situation, Dunn has pledged to self-finance his candidacy to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars. He is part of the family that runs Bert's Bikes and Sports.
That could prove a powerful incentive to party leaders, who are expected to concentrate as much of their resources as possible in County Legislature races this year. Democrats there hold a slim 6 to 5 majority over Republicans.

A boog is the same thing as a booger, with one exception. It's called a booger while it still resides in the nostril. Once it passes the outer nostril, it becomes a boog. Like if someone shoots a snot rocket and you see the offending glob stuck on the television screen, at that point it becomes a boog. Or if yer talking to your date but you can't pay attention to whatever the hell shes blabbering about because shes got this inch long nose nugget flappin out of her nostril, its not quite technically a boog yet, because its still attached to the inside of her nose, but once you grab that badboy out of her nose and wipe it on her forehead, THEN its a boog. Understand? Cool.
1) Hey babe, be a doll and wipe that nasty boog off yer face whydontcha!
2) Homeboy snorted so muck coke that his boogs looked like crack.
3) Dude, if you flick one more boog at me I am gonna cram your hat up your friggin ass.

An Amherst motorist who refused to pull over in Clarence eventually was stopped and charged with driving while intoxicated, Erie County sheriff's deputies reported Wednesday morning.
Deputies Simon Biegasiewicz and Dave Zamorek reported they were driving north on Transit Road, near Sheridan Drive, at about 1 a.m. when they saw a speeding southbound car. They tried to pull over the driver but he fled, driving through red lights at three intersections before he eventually stopped.
As deputies approached, the motorist drove off again, deputies said.
After the vehicle was finally stopped, the driver was removed from it, deputies said.
Zakariya H. Ibrahim, 37, failed roadside sobriety tests, deputies said, and registered a blood-alcohol content of 0.18 percent.
Ibrahim was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, unlawful fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, as well as 14 violations of vehicle and traffic law. He's in the county Holding Center, awaiting arraignment in Clarence Town Court.

A woman trying to catch a bus waited out in busy Niagara Falls Boulevard traffic Thursday, as horns blared and cars passed within a few feet of her.
The bus stop was buried under a pile of snow.
A few miles south, snow was piled over the memorial where a car struck and killed three teens in 2001, also because the sidewalk was impassable.
Another shopper took her chances walking against speeding cars on Transit Road in West Seneca, in the same stretch where a father died in 2010 because of snow piled high on the sidewalk.
More than 12 hours after the flakes stopped falling Thursday, tall snowdrifts forced many area residents into the same roads where pedestrians were killed in previous winters.
The tragedies are in a perfect position to repeat themselves, many say, especially after the first large snowfall in two winters.
Just ask Christen Buchholtz. A sport utility vehicle struck and killed her husband, Justin, while he walked along Transit two years ago. She had a sonogram planned for that December week, but instead, she found herself planning for a funeral.
"I'm raising two children by myself, one who will never know her father," Buchholtz told The Buffalo News. "She's never going to know him except in pictures. What kind of life is that for a child?"
The whole tragedy, she said, could have been averted if property owners along the busy commercial strip had cleared the paths in front of their businesses.
"If you're a business, you're in charge of every part of your property," she said. "In the summer, you're not going to let the grass grow 50 feet. So why do the rules change during the winter?"
Many of the businesses along Transit had their parking lots plowed early Thursday, but the long sidewalks went unattended.
"In two years, nothing has changed," she said. "Driving down Transit Road, it's the same. That's the first thing I thought about [Wednesday], when it started to snow."
The tragedy also was a fresh in the mind of Misty Dieter, who trudged Thursday through the same snow-covered route used by Buchholtz on her way to the grocery store.
At one point, Dieter was terrified as she walked against oncoming traffic, she said, hoping that no cars slid her way.
"It's scary," Dieter said. "You've got to look out for other cars, and people are speeding. If the roads are slippery, they're not even looking."
Buchholtz warns people against walking in the street, saying their children could end up like her daughters, Amelia, 6, and Alaina, 18 months.
Residents and businesses throughout the region are generally responsible for clearing their own sidewalks, and the City of Buffalo mandates that all sidewalks be clear by 8 a.m.
Kenmore property owners have 12 hours from the time snow falls to remove snow, officials said, though they are not allowed to shovel between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.
In the neighborhoods surrounding downtown Buffalo on Thursday, residents along busy side streets were banding together to clear the driveways and sidewalks for their elderly neighbors.
John Gilley clears nearly an entire city block off South Park Avenue with a snowblower he borrows from a neighbor. He does his neighbors' driveways first, he said, and then circles back to clear his own.
"It's my little way of giving back," said Gilley, who was covered head to toe in Army fatigues. "You try and do what's right. We're the town of good neighbors."
But right around the corner from Gilley, Eric Haynes peered nervously around a parked car, keeping watch for speeding vehicles as he made his way to the corner store. Neighbors had shoveled paths to their cars but left the sidewalk clogged with snow.
"If you need help, ask a neighbor," Haynes said. "We've got all these kids out here. Put them to work."
In the most treacherous winter traffic areas, some towns and villages are taking matters into their own hands.
Amherst, Williamsville and the Village of Orchard Park, for example, send government highway crews to plow the sidewalks, and residents are taxed for the service.
The 2001 tragedy forced the Town of Amherst to re-examine its failure to actively enforce its own laws on property owners' sidewalk snow-clearing responsibilities.
Following the deaths of the three teens and the ensuing negative publicity regarding the town's inaction, Amherst officials tightened up their enforcement of sidewalk snow clearing laws.
Last year, Amherst created its first "sidewalk snow relief district," in which the town provides emergency sidewalk snowplowing for property owners along parts of Maple Road and Niagara Falls Boulevard, where sidewalks are notoriously impassable.
The town spent about $46,000 last year on sidewalk snow-clearing equipment, Highway Superintendent Robert Anderson said.
But the new districts do not cover the area where three teens were killed north of the Youngmann Highway, Anderson said.
That area, like other commercial stretches, rely on property-owner compliance with town law.
Town officials give people 24 hours to clear their walks after a snowfall, Building Commissioner Thomas Ketchum said, and that grace period wasn't up as of Thursday afternoon.
"Now that the snow is flying out there, we'll have to chase it down," Ketchum said.
Though Amherst code enforcement officers do respond to complaints about uncleared walkways, Ketchum said, they aren't as proactive as many people would like.
"I have the same problem we always have," he said. "We don't have enough people to police this thing."
Gilley said too many Buffalo residents blame the city for slow plowing response times but don't do enough to clear their own lots.
The uncleared sidewalks mean some pedestrians walking in the street – like Buffalo's Marion Mann – can't count on safety. Instead, they're wishing for luck.
"I'm hoping somebody's going to beep behind me," Mann said.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - One question that I hear from investors sometimes is, "are there publicly traded stocks that do business here locally in the Truckee Tahoe area?" The answer is yes.One public company that has a strong local presence is Vail Resorts. They own Northstar, Heavenly and Kirkwood ski resorts. The symbol for Vail resorts is MTN. Vail resorts has a market cap of just more than $2 billion, which is considered a small cap stock. The market cap of a stock is the total value of the company. To determine the market cap you take the price per share of the stock and multiply it by the number of shares outstanding and the result is the value of that company.MTN stock has appreciated in value by just more than 12 percent in the past year and they pay a quarterly cash dividend of 1.34 percent. Vail resorts has more than 4,000 full time employees and is rated "outperform" by Reuters research and Credit Suisse.Another interesting local company is Ormat Technologies. They are headquartered in Reno and their trading symbol is ORA. Ormat is interesting because they are in the electric utility industry group, but produce power from geo-thermal sources. As we move from traditional energy sources to renewable sources geo-thermal could play an important role, especially in the state of Nevada where geothermal energy is fairly abundant.Ormat is another small cap with a total market capitalization of about $875 million. They pay a small dividend of 0.83 percent and their price has increased by about 1.37 percent over the past year. They have more than 1,200 full time employees. Like Vail, they are also rated "outperform" by Reuters research.I know that no one enjoys paying their utility bills, but one solution may be to become an owner of your local utility provider to participate in their profits. Power in the local area comes from NV Energy Inc. Their symbol is NVE; in the past year, NVE stock has increased by 17.79 percent and they have a dividend yield of 3.60 percent. Their market cap is about $4.4 billion which makes them a mid cap company. NVE has more than 2,800 full time employees. They also have an outperform rating from Reuters research.If you want to learn more about Ormat Technologies, I'll be interviewing their CEO on my radio show, "Ken's Bulls and Bears Report" airing on Sunday, November 25, at 9 p.m. on 99.1 FM.Kenneth Roberts is a Truckee based Registered Investment Advisor.

Both her wishes came true as she married Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden at her father Lionel Richie's home on Dec. 11.
They tied the knot in front of their children – Harlow, 2, was the flower girl, while 15-month-old Sparrow was the ring-bearer – under a tent transformed to resemble a French garden.
"It was magical," Richie, 29, tells PEOPLE. Adds Madden, 31: "It was the best night of my life."
For her big day, Richie wore three stunning Marchesa dresses, including one featuring a ball-gown skirt crafted from more than 100 yards of hand-draped silk organza and tulle petals.

The Stetson Athletics Department is proud to announce the introduction of Hatter Village, a tent festival and fan interaction area prior to the Hatters' home football games.
Hatter Village will debut on Saturday, Aug. 31 at 3:00 p.m. Occupied by student and campus organizations, sponsors, and local vendors, Hatter Village will begin four hours prior to every Stetson home football game.
It will be located on Alabama Ave., west of Spec Martin Stadium, in between Euclid Ave. and Hubbard Ave. Hatter Village is designed to promote Stetson University and create interactive activities for all Hatter fans.
"This is the kind of place everybody – young child to college student to alumni – can participate and feel like they've taken something away from the Stetson Football experience," Stetson Assistant AD for External Operations Jeff Higgins said.
Hatter Village will also be the site of the Hatter Walk, the route that the Stetson Football team will take to the stadium approximately two hours and 15 minutes before game time. The squad will walk from the bus (Alabama/Euclid) to their locker room (Alabama/Hubbard), which will give fans a chance to see the team prior to kickoff.
Keep up with all the excitement surrounding the return of Stetson Football by following the team on Twitter (@StetsonFootball) or Facebook (/StetsonFootball).

Early birth savings
A whopping $3 billion could be saved if the world's highest-income countries adopted five relatively straightforward measures to reduce their numbers of premature births.
So says a report published in November to coincide with World Prematurity Day, which analyzed premature-birth records from around the world.
If 39 of the world's highest-income countries carried out the recommendations, which include encouraging women to stop smoking during pregnancy, limiting the number of embryo transfers in assisted reproductive technologies, and reducing the number of caesarean births and induced labors, they could reduce by 5 percent the number of babies born prematurely.
Although this only equates to 58,000 births – a drop in the ocean compared with the 115 million babies born prematurely each year – it would translate to $3 billion of savings associated with preterm care and estimated lost household income, say the authors of the report (The Lancet, doi.org/jsh).

The FBI said it has taken a man into custody in connection with a robbery at a bank inside a St. Joseph Walmart early Monday.
Agents said a man in his 50s came into the Academy Bank in the store on South Belt Highway about 9:45 a.m., gave a note to the teller and showed that he had a gun.
The man ran after getting cash from the robbery and drove off in what agents believe was a white Chrysler PT Cruiser.
Agents said they took a man matching the robber's description into custody. They said he has not yet been charged.
Investigators said they it was too early to determine whether the same man was responsible for Saturday's robbery at a bank inside a Walmart store in Kansas City, Kan.

Bell-Boeing's V-22 Osprey first took to the air nearly
20 years ago and the road to active duty has been a long one. When DailyTech last visited the tilt-rotor aircraft,
the Air Force's CV-22 Osprey was criticized for its "poor aircraft availability"
and "marginal operational availability" during desert testing at
Kirkland Air Force Base.
"Frequent part and system failures, limited supply
support, and high false alarm rates in the built-in diagnostic systems caused
frequent flight delays and an excessive maintenance workload," claimed the
report which was released earlier this year.
"This produces a maintenance and support burden that
the Marines really can't afford. All of the reliability problems that they
continue to have here in the [United] States -- it's going to drive them crazy
overseas," said Philip Coyle, senior advisor for the Center for Defense
Despite the troubles, the U.S. Marines will be deploying
seven of its similar MV-22 Ospreys to Iraq in September. The Marines are
hoping that the Osprey's speed will allow it to quickly transport troops and make
it less of a target for insurgents than slower, traditional helicopters.
"It is our fervent feeling that this aircraft is the
most capable, survivable aircraft that we carry our most important weapons
system in, which is the Marine or rifleman," said Lt. Gen. John Castellaw,
the deputy commandant for aviation for the Marines. "If you've ever gone
rabbit hunting, you know that it's harder to shoot a rabbit that's running than
the one that's sitting still."
The push for the Osprey to enter regular military service
has been a long time coming. In 2007 alone, there have been six crashes
involving U.S. helicopters in Iraq. The Osprey's enviable speed (top speed
316MPH), ability to take-off and land like a helicopter and an operating range
that is three to five times that of traditional helicopters should make it a
great workhorse during its seven month deployment.
The V-22 Osprey is destined to replace the Marines' CH-46
Sky King by 2018. When compared to the CH-46, the Osprey has a range that is
three times farther and has six to seven times the survivability in the field.
The tilt-rotor aircraft has been in development for over 20 years
at a cost of over $20 billion USD.
quote: He also found that in an Osprey, he could recover from the condition relatively easily, provided he had 2,000 feet of altitude to play with
quote: Following established procedures, when the reset button on the Osprey's primary flight control system lit up, one of the pilots — either Lt. Col. Mi-chael Murphy or Lt. Col. Keith Sweaney — pushed it. Nothing happened. But as the button was pushed eight to 10 times in 20 seconds, a software failure caused the tilt-rotor aircraft to swerve out of control, stall and then crash near Camp Lejeune, N.C.
quote: ...Now, I know what you are thinking: The military ALWAYS blames the pilots.In this [crash], it was pilot error...The V-22 that crashed was in a two-ship formation when the lead ship started a rapid deceleration. The trailing ship (The one that crashed) followed the lead ship beyond the point where it was safe and entered a descent that was in excess of 3000 feet per minute... there is no reasonable person who would assume that a pilot induced descent in excess of 10 times the minimum required rate of descent to enter Vortex Ring State would be the fault of the aircraft . While I offer my condolences to the families of those who were killed, I must state that the excessive rate of descent was the problem here, not the aircraft design. Had the pilot broken formation and departed the landing zone to set up for a new approach, he probably would be alive today. Does that mean I am saying that the aircraft is perfect? No. It does have some problems that need to be worked out, but this specific situation is not a case where the aircraft design is at fault...
