Opanda IExif 2: Delving Deep Into The EXIF Data
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Digital Home Software" @ 07:44 PM
"Opanda IExif is a professional Exif viewer in Windows / IE / Firefox, From a photographer's eye, It displays the image taken from digital camera and every item of EXIF data in the image from beginning to end. The user can learn about how and where to take the photo, what the camera's model is, the detail of photographer and more in IExif. You can know more information and some unbeknown story. It is not only the good assistant to study photography, but also the best choice to view EXIF for photographer, shutterbug, photo editor and so on..."
I had no idea there was this much data embedded in an image! I came to learn of this program after I was discussing selling my D200 (to be replaced with a D300, naturally). When you're selling a DSLR, a common question is how many actuations (shutter snaps) the camera has taken, weighed against how many it's rated for. It's kind of like mileage on a car. In my case, my D200 has taken 21,025 images since I bought it some 20 months ago. If I kept up the same rate of shooting, I could shoot another 6.5 years with it before hitting the rated spec of 100,000 actuations. Not bad at all - Nikon builds these things to last quite a while. What I'm not sure about is what happens when you hit the rated actuation limit - it certainly wouldn't stop working, but perhaps the odds of a malfunction or breakdown go up. Anyone know?
