what color powerpoint presentation would be good if I have to use a projector and video camera?

best video camera for recording lectures image

John S

I have to make a powerpoint presentation, then project it on to a white board and stand there and give a lecture based on the power point slides. The lecture will be recorded with a video camera. The lighting is strong in the room and good for the video camera. But, what color powerpoint presentation would show well in strong light and with a video camera? Thanks

Answer
I have recently write this article about background color for presentation so I think I could contribute to your question pretty well. If you have the light on all the time and recording it, you probably want to avoid using darker color as background with white color font.

For usability purpose, having a white background and black color font like the traditional BCG presentations would work. Otherwise, choose a light background color and match it with black color font will work well too.

I hope I have answered your question well.

I want to video record my college lectures?

Josephine

I'm going to be a junior premed student. I've already asked my professors if it would be ok to record during lectures, and they said its fine. Over the summer I took a Physics class and video recording the lectures to review later really helped with studying.
The only problem is that the battery of my camcorder only lasts about two hours before dying. Is there a camcorder out there that has a longer battery life? I had my camera on the lowest video quality setting and the battery still depleted.
I'm taking organic chemistry, Japanese I, animal physiology, and anatomy, and I want to record all of these classes (about 4 hours total recording time per day). Any options on better camcorders?

Answer
Speaking as one who has retired from a professional career in medicine, I can agree that technology is always tempting, However, you can misuse it too. Even if your professors do not mind being recorded, you are still going to divert your attention far too often from what they are saying in favour of your recording process. In effect you are going to spend twice as long in the learning process, and then where is the rest of your social life?
Do yourself a favour and learn to take notes with a high-tech writing implement and a high-tech paper notebook. Good luck with your studies, and try to avoid buying lots of spare batteries and memory cards.

how to you view a video you have recorded with the discovery kids digital camera/video camera?

what is the best digital camera for video recording image

we bought our daughter a used discovery kids digital camera/video camera. i can take video with it but i do not know how to watch the video after i take it. the camera did not come with a manual and i can't find it on line.

Answer
It seems that you use a USB cable to connect it to a computer and download the videos/photos that way.

From photos I can't tell what the button next to the USB socket says. Is it Mode? I'd guess that may switch between taking photos/videos and replaying them.

What video camera should I buy to record YouTube videos?

Quinn

I'm trying to get a video camera that would be good to upload vids to YouTube. Not that expensive, just good quality.

Answer
HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi port processor computer with the big 1GB Graphics card and a Sound card that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files these camcorders produce.

DSLR Cameras, all Makes, all Models, all have the same problem when video taping some long videos, all overheat at the 13 to 18 minute mark, depending on the Make and Model. This is unavoidable, it all has to with the fact, video is an afterthought in DSLR camera production.

Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording Consumer Level HD Camcorder and DSLR Cameras, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes – four different times advertised as maximum record time for some Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders and DSLR Cameras or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.

MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video

Which camera is better, sony a35 or nikon d3100?

best dslr camera for video recording 2011 image

Sharif

i am going to get a camera soon and i don't know weather to get the Nikon D3100 or Sony a35. they both seem really good but i don't know which to choose. help plz :)

Answer
Nikon, of course, has been in the camera business a very long time. However, Sony isn't as much a newcomer to the camera market as some might have you think. Sony actually invented and sold the world's first non-film based camera - the Sony Mavica of 1981. No, it wasn't a digital camera. It recorded on a floppy disc which was then viewed on your TV. The Sony ProMavica MVC-5000 and MVC-7000 were actually SLR cameras with 3 interchangeable lenses. The MVC-7000 also had lens adapters to allow use of Nikon and Canon lenses. Sony also has a long history of designing and manufacturing cameras for broadcast TV and home video cameras.

Although the Sony SLT A35 is a very good DSLR, the new SLT A65 offers several refinements. It is, however more expensive. The main claim to fame for the SLT series of cameras is the use of Sony's Translucent Mirror Technology (TMT). This technology allows for full-time continuous phase-detect auto focus whether you're shooting still images or full 1080p HD video. The Nikon D3100 does allow for auto focus during video capture but its the slower, less precise contrast-detect auto focus.

TMT also allows you to shoot at 7fps (frames per second) with the A35 and 10fps with the A65. Both models also offer your choice of 2D or 3D Sweep Panorama.

When Sony bought the DSLR technology and manufacturing rights from Konica-Minolta in 2006 they did three smart things: They kept a focusing motor in the camera body, they kept Image Stabilization in the camera body and they kept the Minolta Maxxum "A" lens mount that dates back to 1985. What that means is you have access to a large selection of high quality previously owned Maxxum AF lenses that will auto focus on any Sony DSLR and also be, in effect, an Image Stabilized lens.

Nikon, on the other hand, chose to not put a focusing motor in the body of the D3100 and they also chose to put their version of IS (Nikon calls it VR) in some but not all of their lenses. With the D3100 if you want auto focus you must buy the more expensive AF-S lenses. An example: A Nikon AF 50mm f1.8 prime lens that will not auto focus on the D3100 is about $130.00. The Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.8 prime lens that will auto focus on the D3100 is about $220.00. In my world $90.00 isn't pocket change. Yes, you can use the Nikon AF lenses on the D3100 but only if you don't mind manually focusing them. So, with the D3100 you get to pay again and again for a focusing motor and over and over for IS/VR.

Nikon D5100 w/18-55mm zoom lens, $749.95 after a $100.00 Instant Savings from B&H. Ends 11-19-2011. Free USA shipping. NOTE: The D5100, like the D3100, Does NOT have a focusing motor in the camera body. It too requires the more expensive AF-S lenses.

In my opinion, between the Sony SLT A35 and the Nikon D3100 the SLT A35 offers more features and benefits and is the better choice. If you can stretch your budget and wait a few weeks the Sony SLT A65 would be well woth it.

best DSLR camera with video capability?

Dav

i heard the nikon d90 has these functions. I am a beginner but I am looking to buy THE best on the market so i dont have to update anytime soon. any suggestions?
please provide links so i can look into them. i much prefer ones recently released (2011)

thanks

Answer
Lovely question mate. Okay, for me, the best DSLR camera for video is definitely Canon 550D or Kiss X4 or T2i whatever they call it. I love it for its value for the money. It has all the right features I need to capture great videos. The grip is comfortable, it records progressive videos (interlaced video like old Sony Alpha cameras are a nightmare), great prime lens options, full manual control over the exposure and has ample resolution options and frame rates such as these:
- Full HD : 1920x1080p: 30/24 fps (NTSC), 25/24 fps (PAL)
- HD : 1280x720p (HD): 60 fps (NTSC), 50 fps (PAL)
- VGA : 640x480 (SD): 60 fps (NTSC), 50 fps (PAL)

Notice I said prime lenses? It means that the aperture size is constant along the focal length. Zoom lenses change their aperture value when zoomed in or out. The kit lens, 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, is strange. Let's say you lock exposure at 1/100 shutter speed and f/3.5 when the lens is zoomed out to 18mm. Then during recording you zoom in to 55mm. At this length the lens can only provide you with f/5.6 and then the video mysteriously gets darker. To overcome this I rarely zoom in or out during recording, and I use fixed aperture lenses like a 200mm f/2.8 prime, 50mm f/1.8 prime and some more primes.

My recommendation, get a Canon 550D and then spend more on prime lenses. Oh, don't forget to get a tripod or a steadicam for non shaky videos. Have a good time making movies!

What is a good digital video camera for less then $500?

best digital camera for video recording forums image

pwnz7321

I need a digital video camera that I can just record with and upload via usb cable to my pc to video edit it. Something that I could make a small indie film with. Any Ideas?

Answer
i suggest a checklist of features -

budget dictates that you won't get HD for that price.

get something that has 3ccd.

for the price you should be able to have something in widescreen (16:9)

also, separate audio inputs would be necessary for decent recording. 3.5mm stereo jack good, xlr dual mic better.

mini dv format. you may be tempted to get HDD, flash or DVD but dv is still better (by far). why?

better archiving, cheap alternative, much better resolution compared to all other formats.

the others are ok if you HAVE to but steer clear of dvd. it ain't worth it.

thats the list. find the one that fits all of that for as close to $500.

also, invest in firewire card for your PC. usb 2.0 is not good enough for larger takes. firewire will do a whole 90 mins in real time with no dropouts (as long as you follow the recording rules).

hope it helps. i can't strictly recomend specific cameras cos everyone has their preference. you should got onto a couple of forums and stores to check em out.

good luck! hope it helps!

What is the write speed of the canon rebel t3i?

best slr camera for hd video recording image

pat

I am interested in eventually purchasing the Canon Rebel T3i

http://usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_rebel_t3i_18_55mm_is_ii_kit#Specifications

What is the video writing speed(s) of HD video of this DSLR. I want to make sure to purchase the write SD card that can handle the writing speed of this camera but I can not find this info anywhere. Maybe you will have better luck?

Answer
Yay I am using a t3i too so hi this is something i know!

Wanna shoot in Full HD 1920x1080 resolution? The T3i has a data rate of 45Mbits/sec which is 5.89Mbytes/sec. All of those class 4, class 6 and class 10 means something, class 4 is 4Mbytes/sec, class 6 is 6Mbytes/sec and class 10 is 10Mbytes/sec. Look, our camera fits snugly under the coverage of a class 6 card. But bear in mind, the T3i has variable bitrate. It would be fine if you are shooting while the camera is stationary. But when you start swinging the camera around for panning shots, more action is going on and the bitrate increases. When the camera's buffer is full and the video data cannot be transferred into the memory card in time, you will get an error message saying "recording was stopped automatically" on your camera. I highly recommend you to get a class 10 card for full HD performance. Plus its dirt cheap now so happy shopping!

ah on memory cards the class numbers are written in a circle so you know only to purchase the ones with number '10' encased with a circle... I am using a Transcend 16GB Class 10... Good luck!

How can we upload a video from our video camera onto facebook?

good video camera for recording guitar image

lovedance4

Hello. My mom wants to upload a video of me playing guitar onto facebook. We have one of those video cameras where you record everything onto a DVD. I was wondering how we would go about turning it into a file, so that we would be about to upload it onto facebook. Several answers would be greatly appreciated. We are slightly (ok, a lot!) technologically impaired, lol. Thanks in advance!

Answer
You would need to use a DVD ripper program like DVD Decrypter. One of my boy-buddies uses VideoStudio by Corel. which has more features than just ripping. You put the mini-disc into the DVD tray of your computer making sure it sits centrally in the little depression made for it. You will have to 'finalize' the mini DVD so that your computer can read the disc - your camera manual will tell you how to do that.

Inside VideoStudio you select "Insert DVD/DVD-VR" and point the program at the DVD and follow the prompts and the video is copied from the disc into the time-line of VideoStudio so that you can edit it - add lots of different videos together cut out bits you don't want - add titles/music/narration - Then you can then output the project to a mpeg file and post it on FB.

mich

I'm looking for a good video camera under $600 to record an instructional DVD. It will be on a tripod, so it's not going to really need the ability to film sports or anything. Just good quality video and color. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Answer
Pretty much any camcorder in this price range will provide similar video quality - though personally, I would suggest you stay with miniDV tape based camcorders because miniDV tape - specifically the DV format stored to the tape - does not compress the digital video data as much a a hard disc drive (HDD) or flash memory based camcorder in the same range.

Your biggest issue will be to have good lighting on your side. I think the Panasonic PV-GS320, Sony DCR-HC52 and Canon ZR900 and ZR930 are good candidates. With the GS320 and HC52, you should also include a field recorder for the audio - M-Audio, Zoom, Edirol and others make decent units. This is because the GS-320 and HC52 do not have a mic-jack. You want to get the mic as close as possible to the person speaking - so in this case, that means getting the camcorder close for the built-in mics. When you edit the video, replace the camcorder audio with the audio from the field recorder.

The ZR900 and ZR930 have a mic jack (in addition to their built-in mics), so mic placement does not need to coincide with camcorder placement.

Since you should be editing, a DVD based camcorder immediately drops from the list and should not be considered.

Answer
Your problem will be the sound, not the video. Any camcorder at the lower end of the market is easily overwhelmed by volume levels of the sort you encounter at a gig or rehearsal. Find one that has a seperate audio input (preferably stereo) and run a line out of the desk. Failing that use an external mike and attenuate the signal before it hits the camera.

What video camera from Best buy under 300$ that will record good quality of a garage band and guitar playing?

Gabe

What video camera from Best buy under 300$ that will record good quality of a garage band and guitar playing?
Or if there is a better one at wal-mart/circuit city/ whatever that has good sound quality for recording loud guitar distortion noises/garage band practices that is under or near 300$, please post it here

thanks!

Answer
Your problem will be the sound, not the video. Any camcorder at the lower end of the market is easily overwhelmed by volume levels of the sort you encounter at a gig or rehearsal. Find one that has a seperate audio input (preferably stereo) and run a line out of the desk. Failing that use an external mike and attenuate the signal before it hits the camera.

How to get good quality when recording games with a Camera?

best camera for recording video games image

foxryder4e

Well its pretty good quality when i record but it gets weird. Is there a strategy when recording Video Games???

Answer
The camcorder needs to have the AV-in feature. If it does not have AV-in, there is no cable that can make it have AV-in. Basically, you would need three "Y" cables... one end plugs into the game console (one for video, one for right audio, one for left audio). One end plugs into the TV. One end plugs into the camcorder with AV-in.

Rather than a camcorder, you can use a TV capture card or "analog/digital bridge" (like those from Pinnacle - Dazzle - or Canopus) and connect directly to your computer.

Sony Handy cam HDR-CX150, is there a way to record my video game play?

rawr

After watching multiple youtube videos on how to record video games from a camera, I've found one common issue with my camera. I need to fin the av output or input settings. It is possible that the camera itself has no such setting. If so, tell me so I can just give up already.

Answer
You cannot use your camcorder as a recorder from the AV jacks. You can only record from the lens. To do what most gamers do, get a DVR, hook your game machine that and that to the TV. Record game play, then transfer file from DVR to computer. Use your camcorder, mounted on a tripod to cover your game playing grunts and groans, the do a PIP effect, putting you in the corner of the video. Windows Movie Maker cannot do PIP

I am looking for a good shockproof,waterproof, dust proof digital camera and don't know which is best?

best camera with video recording 2011 image

Matt W

I have looked at the Panasonic TS2, Sony TX5, and Olympus Stylus Rough 8010. Which one is the better of the three? Is there any other camera that I should look into?

Answer
Hello,
All three of them are considered to be good cameras. It all depends on what exactly you expect or want from it.
Sony TX5 is waterproof to 10 ft, when Panasonic TS2 and Olympus Rough 8010 are both waterproof to 33ft. And Sony TX5 has got the lowest resolution from these three. It's just 10.2 megapixels. Panasonic and Olympus have a resolution of 14MP, which is quite a great difference.
All cameras are shock-, dust-, sand- and freeze-proof. But Olympus 8010 is also a crushproof and designed to withstand a weight up to 220 pounds.
Sony TX5 gives you the opportunity to capture panoramic pictures with it's Sweep Panorama feature. Your images are automatically stitched together, which gives you the extra-wide view of the scenery.
Olympus 8010 has got the panoramic shooting option too. It also comes with a built-in 2GB memory, which is more than most cameras available on the market.
Panasonic TS2 has a good quality video recording. Although all these cameras record video in HD format. But Panasonic TS2 seems to be the most expensive out of them.
But if you do not need waterproof camera right now, Sony are releasing a new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 in March/April 2011. It will have a resolution of impressing 16.2 megapixels. And it is going to be the first waterproof camera that can capture 3D still images.

How to hide a camera in a classroom meeting?

best video camera for classroom recording image

We're doing a project called a "spy game" i'm a spy and have to collect info from my enemy by taking pics, recording audio, or getting video clips. How would i be able to take video clips without getting caught? I have to be extremely discreet.

Answer
First you'll need a 20 gallon cowboy hat, a Canon HD camera, and a steady neck and head. It worked for Homer in cracking down on Apu's Kwik-E-Mart hotdog scandal, surely it can work for for your nerd games.

What are some ways I can effectively use technology in my classroom?

kthnxby!

I'm in an Instructional Technology class at my university and we are learning about implementing technology into the classroom. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas on how to do this. Thanks!

Answer
Since you are in a college class, we can just assume that the classroom teacher has access to things I will mention. Here are some that I have actually used these in my first grade classroom.

My teacher desktop computer is connected to the flatscreen TV mounted on the wall as well as to the overhead projector onto the smart board. That means I can run a DVD in my computer and it shows on the TV or the Smart Board. I can create an interactive lesson for the SmartBoard, using touch screen to work through the lesson. I can create power points for lesson materials. We have access to online downloads of lesson supporting videos for the TV.

At our computer pod with three student computers, I can assign each student to do certain lessons in the online programs that my district buys. They can take Accelerated Reader online tests or do Compass Lessons. They can work on Kid Pics frames, including importing photos, and create a frame that supports a story or other lesson. These are saved on their district files.

I use digital camera to record videos of class presentations and then we share them through the computers. I have a class website that is updated weekly with information about classroom projects, activities, current lesson summaries for parents. I also have an archive of every parent newsletter ever sent home that can be accessed from home, as well as full unit outlines of every subject, and other parent information,

We use an online grading system so I have to enter the grades for every subject. Beginning in grade 3 in my school, parents can access this from home. I have to enter the comments for the report cards. Then the office prints out the report cards.

Some reference and lesson materials are available on all-share for all teachers to access. The entire policy manual as well as the entire curriculum for every grade and every subject are available on the district site accessible only on a school computer.
