I see it makes an image recognition (well, points recognition) and recalculates everything on each image captured.
The math behind this goes totaly beyond my knowledge.
You'll probably never get a 3D model as optimized as one using... more expensive/ time consuming modeling/ 3d capturing techniques, but the results speak for themselves.
Now, what we need are some models and this: [xspblog.com]

A lot of "food products" now get extruded from machines that aren't that different from 3 d printers. If you could load up a 3d printer with potato slurry, cheese ink, and the like, you might be able to print out a "ham and cheese" that looked good, and might even be edible.

So in a story about webcams being able to make a 3d model, I mentioned that I had some webcams and wondered if using more than one could make a better 3d model since the article mentioned that there was problems with the one camera system. Yup, that is TOTAL spamming. Before you make statements like that, you better be able to back them up.

alpha100 was good enough for those shots (daytiem only because it has too much noise on higher ISO's and that's when alpha700) comes in handy.

agreed. this hat would go over well at some of the, shall we say, "chemically charged" parties i enjoy attending.

I'd suppose you'd also say no one should ever gift me the original Power Rangers Megazord that I have pined for since I was 6 or whatever?
Fie, I say. Fie!

As much as I love watching and making movies, the hat is still the coolest thing out of the list.

I built one myself, took maybe a couple hours. It's not fantastic, mind you, and it takes some work to figure out how to use the counterweight to your advantage. Used properly, however, it's a significant improvement over....nothing.

Also, you can always go with editing software (you know - a legitimate copy) or screenwriting software. It's one of the few times that it isn't impersonal.
And of course, you can always have a family&friends-wide fund to save up for the good stuff. A $1,000 camera sounds like a lot until you have 10 people chipping in to pay for it.

I do most of my shooting outdoor during the day and sometimes at night. And most of my video is of action sports like wake boarding, skiing, motocross, stuff like that. The Zi8 does perform better in perfect lighting conditions but the image is soooo shaky, almost making the video unwatchable. The funny thing is, I think it has an image stabilizer. #pocketcamcorderbattlemodo

Everyone knows that it's a joke of a video recorder. #pocketcamcorderbattlemodo

you guys did a review of this a bit more than a year ago and it has served me well. some of the 1080p video can be blurry a bit and other times look crystal clear. stills are hard to capture with out being blurry, but that seems standard with any video first recorder. does sounds well, you can set it up on its tripod it comes with and let auto focus do its thing. and the cost is right in line with these other guys maybe cheaper in places. if you like the option of the flip out screen this may be the way to go for you folks. i have used it in all situations and everything comes out great. indoor lights can make a bit of a reddish hue, but nothing that distracts from the subjects. outdoor at night in vegas looked good. in the air port and on the plane looked good. and can easily be operated by drunks. #pocketcamcorderbattlemodo

I have 2 Aipteks just because they're so cheap and the one high end model, if you can call it that, has served me well. I've only had one issue myself-at a concert the distortion is ridiculous. You can only hear muffled bass. I've yet to find a decent video camera that records concert audio without all the nastiness. Decent video camera (and camera) for the price and if you damage it or lose it, it's not all that big a deal. #pocketcamcorderbattlemodo
