Thanks for commenting ...

 provided proper casing and power supply is developed.

Their specifications say, "Power over Ethernet (POE)". 

The Wiki article describes how power is distributed over ethernet (LAN) wiring. 

Another source is the Power Over the Ethernet Resource site. 

Many ethernet routers are available to provide power to downstream devices. 

Actually, setting up a security camera with nothing but a LAN connection that
provides both communications connectivity and power is an elegant solution.

... frame rate will improve which for me as a Bird in flight
photographer being of special interest to me

The Kodak Z1015 IS camera is a

10MP still camera and also
30fps 720p HDTV camcorder with
15X optical zoom. 

It has 64 meg internal memory and accepts up to 16GBy SDHC fkash memory. 

That having been said, I must add that the camera is not getting the precise focus that I expect; there are playback issues with the 720p HDTV; playback on a PC requires a 3.0 GHz processr.  There are also some technical issues. 

What I'm saying is that there are cameras out there that can record lots of detail at high frame rate.

OK

Still camera photography ...

(1) For the data you supplied, are we talking about jpeg or RAW formatted images? 

(2) If jpeg, does the camera change the jpeg compression when a faster card is available?  It is possible that with a faster card, the camera will save larger files. 

(3) Camera autofocus time is another factor ... that would be constant no mater what the memory card speed ... in fact, that could dominate the performance numbers ... and might obscure the timing improvement granted by a faster memory device. 

--Martin

Cards being fast have little or no impact on how fast you can
shoot regardless or camera make !!

My Kodak Z1015 IS camera can shot 720p HDTV at 30 fps provided
I use a 60X SDHC memory device (class 4). 

Device speed does matter.

I hope we'll see 2 examples: both before and after.

followup ...

I looked at your image upload, Setting The Stage.

My suggestion 3, above, might have been effective in reducing the
glare on the hood, fender and headlight trim. 

Maybe you could provide a test of that idea (even if you don't have
a Mercedes handy). 

After all, cars don't mind a little water ... on the body. 

Comments, please. 

--Martin

Some possibiities ...

(1) use a polarizing filter ... properly oriented, this should cut down the glare. 
For an example, please view the message thread with subject,
Obglitory Slow Motion Water, and scroll down to the last 2 messages to
see the discussion and example images. 

(2) form a light tent around the subject -- use parchment paper to form the tent. 

(3) as a last resort, mist the subject (make SURE you have permission)
-- use a spray bottle and distilled water; the mist will break up the reflections. 

This last suggestion is also effective to enhance color saturation -- try that
out on an otherwise dull rock/boulder ... but not in direct sunlight. 

Comments, please.

Yes Tom on the Canon there is a way to shoot Raw and jpegs together
you can then place them side by side and blow up to higher size and
then view the results that way

I think the question is more about RAW vs. compressed RAW
rather than RAW vs. JPEG.

According to the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT), a flash unit would
have a color temperature of 5500 to 5600K ... however, those lights on
Amazon have a color temperature of 5000K. 

What does that mean?  ... it means that if you were shooting with both
those studio lights and with flash, you would get some odd off-color results

... in an area where the studio light provided most of the light, all of the
colors would tend toward yellow.  For an example, look at the image **
promiselamb** Posted Sat, Mar 7, 2009 10:47 am, in the message
thread Light test. See how the model's face is very yellow on the left
side of the image, but normal flesh tone on the right. 

The lights on amazon will have less of that effect ... but probably still
will be noticable.  

Contrast that with the Smith Victor KT900 3-Light 1250-Watt Thrifty Mini-Boom Kit
on adorama.com for $275.  Before ordering, doublecheck that the color 
temperature of the Photoflood lamps supplied in this kit are daylight
(5500K) balanced. 

You can check the entire SmithVictor line. 

HTH and continue to ask questions. 

Comments, please.

Indoors ... studio lights ... in that case, you'll also have to consider color temperature. 

Tungsten (incandescant) lamps have a low color temperature and will give a yellowish light. 

Daylight balanced floods will be better to use. 

Please review the second part of the Light test message thread.  You will find comments about color temperature and studio lights. 

Here is part of it that was Posted Sun, Mar 8, 2009 10:16 pm ,,,

You need to consider Color Temperature.  Check this Color Temperature Chart
and this page on Correlated Color Temperature (CCT). 

Your bulbs might be Tungsten at 3400 Kelvin
... but you might want Daylight or Flash at 5500 to 5600 Kelvin. 

BTW, Tungsten at 3400 Kelvin isn't necessarily wrong ... in fact, it would
be the best lighting for film that is balanced for that kind of light source. 

Aaaaaahhhhhh ... but then again, you aren't shooting film. 

Hope this helps ... ask questions if unsure ...

Comments, please ...

One of the easiest ways to create thumbnails is to download and
use Easy Thumbnails from Fookes Software. 

Let us know how that works out for you. 

Comments, please.

Hmmmmmmmmmm ... did you click the "Buy It" button?

We should take another look at "Still Life with Vanitas Symbols (after David Bailly)" by Kevin Best, one of the entries in the NPPP 2009. 

Then compare it with the original, "Self-Portrait with Vanitas Symbols"; David Bailly; 1651. 

Yes, Best's submission is derivative ... but also quite interesting in its own light. 

BTW, the Web Gallery of Art could be a useful resource, and worth a visit. 

Comments, please.

The jury deserves all credit for not falling into the trap of being
distracted by emotional interest, social relevance, superficial
attraction or artistic beauty

Hmmmmmmmmm ... I wonder what the rules were for the judges? 

Inquiring minds want to know.

--Martin

Aaaaaaahhhhh ... I thought of another point ...

If the comment in your gallery includes a question about the image, the setting, equipment/software used, artistic intent, etc. ... then you might want to supply that answer/response "in-line" ...

After all, others viewing the gallery entry and seeing the question might want to see your answer ... and that you gave an answer. 

IOW, all of that effort shows Courtesy and builds Reputation. 

On the internet, what else do we have?

Comments, please.
