Green Design Girl

On a quest for a new digital camera with good quality video. Not looking for anything professional or super high-end. This is for everyday use, but the vid quality should be decent enough for blogging.

Any recommendations?

I find that the tumblr community and many of my fellow bloggers are pretty tech-savvy, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Would love to hear your input on this. Thanx in advance!

Currently own one of the very first Canon Elphs and I love it, but I really need a new camera. It only lets me video record for about a minute at a time, so it’s definitely time to upgrade.

[edit: Thanx to all for your feedback on this. I’m most inclined to stick with Canon, given my previous experience, but also because awesome Toronto photographer Chris Frampton suggested this Canon model — and he definitely knows what he’s talking about!]

::Question for my fellow tumblr peeps::

As I gear up for the return of posts on GDG, I’m tweaking a few layout details and I’m trying to resolve an issue that I’ve always had with photo posts.

When you’re posting a photo and choose the option to upload an image [rather than use its url], is it possible to upload another one — or several, for that matter — using the uploading method again within the same post? 

I know that I can add more pix within the body of the post [where the text would usually go], but I’m only seeing the option to upload further pix using the url of each image. In my case, this means having to upload a whopping load of product images to Flickr before being able to post anything, as I’ll require a url for each photo that I wish to use.

Is this making sense? 

For example, the question mark image that you see above was uploaded using the “post photo” tool on tumblr. However, in order to add the second image below, I had to use the “insert/edit image” tool and provide a url to add the image to the body of this post. I wasn’t able to just upload it directly like the first.

I’ve had this issue since the beginning of this site, which is why my pix are always posted individually… but this is no longer feasible, since there are several kind bloggers and other sites that have been linking to my articles. I need to find a way to post all pix for a related product within the same article and not have them all split up. Apart from having my posts look better and more complete, it would also save me a ton of time, which is definitely at a premium for me these days!

So maybe I’m missing something within the tumblr platform…? I’d love to have some feedback from my fellow tumblrs. Please feel free to re.blog or drop me a line at greendesigngirl [at] gmail.com Thanx in advance!

[edit: This issue has been resolved, thanx to a prompt response from Tumblr support. Please see the next post above for details].
