I'm sure that some of you have poked around all of your System Preferences, including the Universal Access pane, but you'd be amazed at how many Mac users are unaware of "Digital Zoom". It's time to learn more.

I have also updated the iDVD/DVD Burning FAQs with the new time limit for iDVD v4 (iLife '04).

Here's that picture of the Olympus AZ-2 Zoom we promised you. I bet it looks better in person, but it looks sort of junky here. I think it's that weird little lens in the corner.

Full page zoom

Full page zoom 11/10/2003 11:29 PM

For as long as I've understood the issue, I've been an advocate of liquid layouts over fixed widths for web page design. Liquid layouts are layouts like the one used by this site, where the page adjusts to fix the size of the user's browser window. Fixed widths on the other hand are sites such as LJWorld.com where the width of the page is fixed no matter how large or small the browser window gets.

There are good arguments for both sides of the issue. Liquid layouts give control to the user and avoid wasted screen real estate; fixed width layouts give the site author greater control over the look of the site and (more importantly) ensure that text line widths remain sensible.

In recent months, I've been seriously reconsidering my preference for liquid layouts. I'm currently using Windows at a resolution of 1280 x 1024 with my browser fully maximised, and reading liquid sites is a pain. The standard cry of liquid layout fans in this case is "you don't have to surf with your browser window maximised", and I have repeated this myself many times. The problem is, I surf with my browser window maximised. I don't know why, but I just feel more comfortable with a maximised browser window (it may be related to the ridiculous number of tabs I normally have open). My solution so far has been a combination of using these bookmarklets and increasing the text size of the page, but fixed width layouts are becoming more and more appealing.

It turns out however that there is a third option. Load up this page, recently posted to Webdesign-L by Rick Cecil. Now increase and decrease your browser's text size. The whole page scales with the text, thanks to extensive use of the em unit for setting the width of various page elements. I don't know if this technique even has a name yet but if it hasn't I suggest "full page zoom". I will certainly be investigating it as an option for future projects.

One final thought: if only the current pack of browsers supported the min-width and max-width CSS properties, this whole issue could have been solved years ago.

Update: While experimenting with this idea further, I came up with this Javascript experiment. Make of it what you will.

Fujifilm has announced the F810, a 6-megapixel specialty camera that shoot both regular (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) formats, using Fuji's Super CCD HR sensor. In addition it has a 4x optical zoom and a 2.1-inch rear LCD screen. Because the dual-purpose lens makes it a bit of an oddball, Fujifilm says to expect the $600 F810 not in major retail stores, but instead both online and retail photo outlets.

Samsung Digimax A402: No Optical Zoom 04/18/2005 08:22 AM

Samsung has announced the Digimax A402, a 4.2-megapixel camera with a 5x digital zoom—no optical zoom to be had. That means, effectively, that I can't imagine any reason whatsoever to buy one, except that it might be sort of cheap. Still, releasing a digital camera these days without optical zoom—when even cameraphones are starting to get optical lenses—is sort of dumb. I'm sure now that I've said that they'll sell millions.
