Lizzy

I want eventually to have every day that I have taken a picture represented in Blip, and to that end I am currently filling in some of the gaps. The batch of pictures that I took of Lizzy and Lucifer on the couch on this day were taken with an extremely basic low resolution 0.3M camera, a SiPix StyleCam, and were blurry and badly exposed.

I wanted to include one, however, so I have done a lot of post processing, finally giving it the Oil Painting treatment.

SiPix Inc. has today announced a new digital camera model that is bound to raise some eyebrows both for its low price and tiny size. The StyleCam Blink makes most ultracompact cameras seem huge with dimensions of just 0.6" x 1.97" x 1.97" (1.5 x 5 x 5cm) and weighs 1.5 ounces (30 grams) without batteries. With a planned price of just $39.99 when the camera ships next month, buyers will get a 640 x 480 pixel CMOS camera with 8MB of built-in SDRAM and an optical viewfinder.

The Blink also features a low-res 320 x 240 pixel mode, F3.0 6.3mm fixed focal-length lens equivalent to 24mm on a 35mm camera, and USB connectivity. The camera has focusing distances from 23" to infinity (0.6 meters to infinity), along with Auto (indoor) or manual (indoor or outdoor) white balance, auto exposure, a monochrome status LCD and JPEG / AVI file formats. The SiPix StyleCam Blink is powered by 1 AAA battery, and comes with an impressive software bundle featuring full versions of ArcSoft PhotoImpression, PhotoFantasy, PhotoMontage, VideoImpression and a 30-day free membership to iVista's videoconferencing service.
