Each original image is a high-quality JPEG at 3072x2304 resolution (7+ MP), which is the normal maximum my camera (Canon PowerShot A550) can do. With the CHDK firmware add-on, I can take RAW format images, which have a marginally higher resolution (like, a few dozen pixels or so in both dimensions). I was also thinking to crop the images into a 16x9 aspect ratio so that I could have a "widescreen" video, instead of this plain 4x3 mess. As for still photography, I am currently looking at - and have been for a while - at a Canon Digital Rebel XSi, alternatively known as the 450D outside the US. Since you've expressed some interest in this, maybe I should include more of my thoughts and musings on my blog, eh? ;) Jazaak Allaahu khayran for the links. I think I might install that plugin. I've noticed it on other blogs, and I didn't even think to look for a plugin for it. I like that feature as well myself.

I didn't realize that digicam video resolution has become so high. How high is the max rez for a timelapse video? I wonder if it can do hd...after all it is motion photography. Might as well take 12MP shots and string em together (that's 12K...as opposed to 1080p...aka 1K), okay...12MP shots are overkill for video...id LOVE to see 4MP shots...does the camera have that option? Also, you know what what be better? -- if you can get one of those len attachment adapters (Something like this: http://www.bugeyedigital.com/product_main/ckc-unicam37.html ) for you camera and apply a polorizing filter (comes for like $15) in front of your powershot...the images will come out cleaner and w/o a reflection from the window. PS: I suggest that you installed this WP plugin called "Subscribe to Comments" http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/subscribe-to-comments/ -- this way anyone who comments can get an automatic notice in their email that there has been a response.

This is an easy-to-use and feature-full free/open-source player for Windows, Mac, GNU/Linux, and a few other platforms. It can play just about any format, audio or video, out there.
