Why are movies and photos always square, rather than circular?

What is the correct posture in taking pictures using digital cameras?

Am i really making fool out of myself?

What digital cameras don't have that stupid delay? I have a great (big) old Sony digital camera that takes floppy's and not memory cards but the best thing is there is no delay when taking pics.

How do I avoid the delay in digital cameras? With my digital camera, purchased in 2002 for a high price from Sony, I have about a four second delay when attempting to capture images of my children. I push the button for a great shot, but wind up with a picture of the backs of their heads as they run away. When shopping for a new digital camera that I can "point and shoot", do I need "SLR", or can other more moderately priced cameras give me the results I need? I just want to aim and shoot, dammit, but not spend $600? Anyone? Thanks for reading either way...
How long till digital cameras come with HD video recording as the norm? Currently most digital cameras with video recording do so at VGA resolution, which is 640x480. HD resolution is 1280×720 or 1920×1080. Uhm101, I'll agree that while they don't do everything well... they give you the flexibility to take both video and still images. For some people this convenience is great especially when traveling and you don't want to carry lots of equipment around. Just look at a Canon A720 camera. It takes good photos... and gives you okay videos when you want.
Are there any digital cameras and/or camcorders offering optical zoom in video mode? Hi, anybody knows if there are any digital cameras and/or camcorders offering optical zoom in video mode?

If anybody knows, I'd appreciate some suggestions, preferably budget cameras, USB compatible, so I can transfer to my PC. Thanks a lot in advance for your suggestions.

So i guess I'm trying to figure out if I was scammed or if it is common for digital cameras NOT to come with a memory card. Thanks!
