If it worked for you, You can tell us in the comment section below
First thing, do you really need a camera? Well, who don’t. This is not the quick check-up to get one for yourself. All cameras do the same but at different dynamics and we need to know what suits us better. Here I am going to run you through things that you should keep in mind to figure out a suitable camera for you.


Now, We all, most of us, have smartphones having good camera with lot of features along with it. What makes you call it good? Megapixel count is the one foremost we look at and flash is almost there in every new smartphone but this in no way does abstain me from thinking of Digital camera even when I have considerable good camera in my phone. Reason is very simple, I want to have the best and I feel Digital camera is the way to go.

 Megapixel

This is not the only factor to keep in mind and it can’t be everything, you see a 8MP phone camera beating 12MP camera phone with different virtues such as using cmos in fixing the pixels. To make a picture appear on the screen, it need a formula to keep things in place that includes color optimization, exposure, focussing, etc. This methodology differs from one to another and you need to find how they actually work. These days most of the Digital cameras sport at least 5MP and you need to choose one definitely above this mark if you are going to print the captures and use it for high-end standards.

 Point and Shoot or DSLR

Entertainment and quality should not always be related with level of technology. We all will surely want a DSLR but does that meant for us? Not for all. In other ways, it could just be a waste of money to bet on DSLR when you could easily do better with point and shoot camera. Difference between the both is size at first, DSLR is equipped with removable lenses, higher image sensors, Higher ISO speed, and they look bulky than the thin looking Point and shoot cameras.
Assume that you have got a camera with high MegaPixel count and with low image sensor, is that a good deal? Not at all. Because we have heavy high pixels but lesser image sensor which dampens the quality of Images. So it makes sense to buy a Camera having better image sensor no matter how heavy is MegaPixel.
Although, DSLR is not for convenient use, you can’t take it to party and keep clicking unless you are professional photographer. What suits you for quick capturing is the Point and shoot, you can manage to get a better Point and shoot camera at low budget as compared to DSLR. All that depends on where you use and why.

Optical Zooming

Let me tell you, there are two types people talk about zooming, one is Optical and the others is Digital. For now, Digital zooming is useless unless you want your picture so big and wide. hence now concentrate on only Optical Zooming, along with MegaPixel count and Image Sensor, you make sure that you get a camera with at least 3X Optical zooming.
But before jumping in and buying a camera based on the data labels you see could be a bad deal. You also need to check for reviews and know valuable insights on how it works, it is not that you have to shell out huge bucks to get a high-end camera but you can better start off with low budget Top Point and Shoot Cameras and gradually you will get a sense on what exactly you should get for future use. If you have got any already, share your experience with us in comments below.
Videos are part of our lives. They reserve memories for us in motion. The social media is not an exception in using videos to pass across messages. As it relates to Facebook, users can share videos with friends or on their pages/groups.


Facebook had enabled video auto play feature. This means that videos shared by your friends can automatically start playing as soon as you hover on them with the cursor. This may sound cool but to others it can be very annoying. For example, if you have slow Internet connection or just trying to conserve data.

In this post I will show you few steps to turn off the video autoplay feature on Facebook. If you are ready, let’s go.

TURN OFF AUTO -PLAY FACEBOOK VIDEOS ON DESKTOP

  1. First of all Login into your Facebook account
  2. Click on dropdown menu and Go to Settings.
  3. Now in Genral Settings click on Videos to open videos option.
  4. On Video Settings Page, you will see dropdown menu under the Auto-Play Videos, Select Off and you are done.

TURN OFF AUTO -PLAY FACEBOOK VIDEOS ON MOBILE IPHONE

  1. First Open Facebook App in your device, Click on More Icon in Facebook App.
  2. Go to Account Settings .
  3. In Account Settings go to Videos and Photos . In Videos and Photos go to Auto-Play .
  4. In Auto-Play Settings you can manage how you want to play videos. Choose Never Play Videos or On WiFi Connection Only .
That’s it, you can now play videos only when you chose. Sounds cool huh? whats your say?
Everyone expects something bigger from Tecno Mobile this year and the most recent rumors we’ve heard seem to point to this same direction. Tecno Camon C9 was released last year, it only normal to expect a successor to follow. However, it seems the next device in the Camon series won’t be named Camon C10. An insider revealed that we should expect Tecno Camon CX instead.

Devices in the Camon product line have one distinctive feature: a pretty good camera at an affordable price range. It is perfect for those who want the camera of the high end Phantom series on a mid range device. And the camera has never disappointed.


Tecno Camon CX or Tecno Camon C10?

While we advise you to take this report with a pinch of salt, it actually makes sense if the next Camon is called CX. After all, X is the same as 10 in Roman numerals. Whether we are going to see Camon C10 or Camon CX, one thing is certain: a camera better than that on the C9 should be expected.

Rumored Camera Specifications

If we are to judge based on the leaked image, we would conclude that the Camon CX is coming with two cameras at the back. However, it should be pointed out that this could either be an actual press render or just a concept.


According to our source, Tecno Camon CX will sport 4 cameras, possibly two in the front and another two at the back. If this is actually true, users will be able to shoot images with bokeh / shallow depth of field using both the front and rear camera setup as seen on Tecno Phantom 6 and Apple iPhone 7 Plus.
The source also claims that each camera has a 16MP sensor. While this sounds pretty good, it should be noted that such configuration on a mid-range smartphone is definitely going to move the price point to the high-end segment. We do expect Tecno to keep things balanced.
It’s long overdue
A dual-camera setup on the Camon series is long overdue. It was rumored to be featured on the Camon C8 last year, but we never saw it. It seems focus is shifting to this technology and the some best camera phones around have two eyes on the back.

Design

The leaked Camon CX image shows a somewhat slim device. It looks a lot thinner than last year’s Camon C9. The antennae lines at the top and bottom too suggest a metallic back cover. Again, we need to be reminded that this could either be a concept design or a real press render. We been able to gather that the Camon CX will come in several colors: Blue, Black, Gold, Champagne Gold, and Anthracite Grey.

Other technical specifications

As for the internals, we have just a few details at the moment. The device is very likely to ship with Android 7.0 (Nougat), the RAM and ROM should come in 3GB/32GB configuration, the screen size will be 5.5 inches, and it might come with the USB Type C fast charging port.

Launch, availability and price

Tecno Camon C9 is expected to be launched (in Dubai again??) sometimes later in March or very early in April. Considering that its predecessor came in around June last year, it appears Tecno Camon CX (or Camon C10) is coming early.
If we get the chance, you may get to read the review of this anticipated device here. Until the device is actually released, all we have to feed on are rumors, speculations and leaks.

South African telecoms giant MTN revealed that it made a whooping $200m loss last year 2016 which is the company’s worst record in 22 years after suffering a huge fine in Nigeria and currency challenges in key African markets including South Africa and Nigeria.
In 2016, the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) imposed N330bn regulatory fine on the telecommunication giant over its failure to disconnect 5.1 million unregistered SIM cards.

In its report, the company said the action of NCC contributed to its loss. In their words...

“MTN Group’s financial results for 2016 reflect the most challenging year in the company’s 22-year history,” a statement by the company read.

“The performance in Nigeria was hurt by the forced disconnection of 4.5 million customers by the government a year ago, regulatory penalties and the weakness of the naira against the dollar.

“In South Africa, lower demand for mobile-phone contracts weighed on earnings.

“Towards the end of 2016 our two largest operations (South Africa and Nigeria)… began to show signs of a turnaround following an extended period of under-performance.”

It is worthy to recall that MTN reported profits of 20.2 billion rand ($1.6bn) before tax for 2015 business year, the revenue was fractionally up for the year at 146.9 billion rand ($11.3bn). While in August 2016, the company revealed its first-ever half year loss.

MTN said it expects to add 8.3 million new users in the 2017 financial year. It said its total subscribers increased by 3.3% or 7.7 million to 240 million in 2016. This is a press release.
