Here are the results from last week’s poll regarding projectors built into cameras:

Looks like the camera corps are making the right move in building projectors into certain point-and-shoot models.

This week, our poll is simple and straightforward. What operating system are you using?

Personally, I’m using Mac OS X Snow Leopard. About half a year ago my Windows XP laptop stopped working, and I decided to give Apple a shot. I’m not particularly loyal to any OS, so my next OS could be anything.

Here are the results from last week’s poll asking if your camera viewfinder has affected your vision:

Looks like there’s no effect, since many people have even better vision in their viewfinder eye. Interesting…

This week’s poll has to do with a minor trend in camera equipment. While Jessica was down at PMA 2010 about a week ago, she noticed camera makers are beginning to include built-in projectors in their point-and-shoot cameras for you to view and share photographs by projecting them onto a wall.

Our question is this: would you use it if it was available on your camera?

There are quite a few interesting trends in camera equipment that we might discuss via polls in the upcoming weeks.

This week’s question has to do with your eyesight. I’ve noticed lately that the eye I use to see through the viewfinder (my right eye) isn’t as good as my left, non-viewfinder eye. I’m wondering whether this is due to the fact that I’m looking through the viewfinder so much with my right eye.

Is your viewfinder eye different than your other eye? Do you think photography affects your eyesight?

Here are the results from last week’s poll regarding Google’s use of copyrighted Flickr content in its Street View.

Most of you voted that Google shouldn’t be using photos marked “All Rights Reserved”, especially because advertising is served alongside the maps.

This week’s poll is similar. We’re wondering whether you’ve ever had photographs stolen and republished without yourself permission. Also, is it a problem you’re concerned with?

Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences with this in the comments as well.

Here are the results from last week’s poll regarding the iPad. As some pointed out to us, the results can seem somewhat skewed if the number of positive and negative choices are not equal. We’ll keep that in mind for next time.

Yesterday we reported that Hasselblad will be launching a new camera in a little over a week: the H4D-40. While medium format film photography is popular among amateur enthusiasts, its digital counterpart has been largely inaccessible due to the price – a typical digital back costs over $10,000.

Our poll question this week has to do with whether you would jump into medium format digital photography if it became much more affordable. Is price what’s keeping you out?

Let us know what you think in the comments as well! Do you think the price (even for used gear) will be affordable anytime soon?

Here are the results from last week’s poll asking whether you think cameras should become more like cell phones by having downloadable applications.

Seems like most people think cameras should stick with being cameras. Fair enough.

This week, our poll has to do with yesterday’s announcement of the new Apple iPad. The web is already pretty polarized regarding this device, but we wanted to see what photographers think about it. What is your opinion regarding the device?

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Some of us already had a pretty interesting discussion in a post we published yesterday.

This week’s poll has to do with Project 365. You’ve probably heard of it by now, but a Project 365 is a project in which you take (and post) a photograph every single day of the year. In the end you will have taken at least 365 photographs — one for each day.
