I want to attach a small (and waterproof) wireless camera to my mischief-seeking dog's collar and have it send images via the internet every 30 seconds so I can keep an eye on him while at work. He is restricted to an area with a maximum distance of about 200 metres from the wireless router. Ideally I could store and review every photograph over the day. How possible is all of that?

What caused the light to do the weird radial effect in my picture? I'm guessing it's the UV HAZE filter I leave over my lens? Does the effect have a name? Like some weird form of "blooming"? Shot with a Canon Rebel XTi with a 28-135mm USM IS, 6 second exposure.

Trying to remember this asian (possible japanese/korean) site for camera phones where you could upload your pic or video into this huge mosaic of all of these other people who have done the same thing. Basically a mosaic of life. I remember it took forever to load and was a flash extravaganza, but each pixelated square was a little video/pic uploaded from a camera phone. Any ideas?

We're leaning toward the HD110U because of what we've seen of its picture quality, ability to switch lenses, and reported ease of use. Which one should we buy, what are the pros and cons?
