Can you take gopro hd hero to EDC Vegas 2012?

J. L.

I know that you can't take DSLR. The website also says "no video cameras," but I was wondering if taking my gopro hd hero was okay. "no video cameras" seem a little vague, seeing how most point and shoot cameras are allowed but those can record videos also. Plus, gopro can be used as a camera, so...help?

p.s. do you guys know if small external microphones are allowed? I want to record some stuff with better sounds. It says "no professional audio" but a small external microphone isn't considered anything professional, right?

Answer
None means NONE, period. They will take it

Canon T2i, t3i or Nikon D3200?

person num

I am looking to purchase a new camera mainly for the purpose of video. I plan to make all my youtube videos and short films on it, so I'm not too focused on the still picture side. I wanted to go with the t2i originally but is the t3i worth the extra $100? Also, is the Nikon D3200 better than both of them (with video)? Thanks!
I am looking to see which is better in VIDEO not still pictures!

Answer
fhotoace always recommend Nikon cameras. When EVERYONE knows that Canon DSLR's outperform all of Nikon's cameras in video. Don't be entirely persuaded by his Top Contributor Title as most people and even he probably knows that Nikon has always been behind Canon in video. ALWAYS.

http://improvephotography.com/227/differences-canon-vs-nikon-dslr-cameras/
Have a look at that 2012 Article and see what it says about which brand should be used for video.

And if you want some real visual proof. Have a look at this comparison between the Canon Rebel T3i and the similarly priced and features Nikon D5100.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zsLsOjeRkAg#!

Notice at the 7:30 mark when he has the T3i in his hand, he has to use the D5100 to record. Pay attention to the video and audio quality until the 8:18 mark where he has the D5100 in his hand and has the T3i recording. The Canon obviously has better video and audio quality.

I also read and heard in this comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79v5QsM4kRQ
One of the first things the guy says is that the Canon is better than the Nikon at video. He says it in the comments as well.

If you need more proof than that then you should look up what other people think and I really hope no one says that Nikon has better video quality.

So the better choice is the Rebel T3i, no matter how new the D3200 is... Plus the vari angle LCD screen really comes in handy with video, but if you don't think it's worth the extra $100 then the T2i is basically the same thing.

If you need any more help, possibly finding the correct first lens to buy or accessories, just send me an email. Glad to help.

this would be my 5th camera due to either breaking it or hating it.
i like taking pictures but i love making movies even more so i want something that's good with both.

Answer
While most cameras take video, and some camcorders take photos; to get the best of both, you need both. Have not seen a camera that compares with the video from a camcorder and camcorders can't take good quality photos. Suggest the least expensive Canon Camcorder and the Canon A590IS camera.

What gives a camera its picture quality?
It is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures. Mega pixel resolution is about potential photo size, not picture quality.

In new cameras, look for a viewfinder (LCD invisible in bright sun), optical image stabilizer, and check battery prices. High mega pixel settings take longer to process and may not be needed unless required for very large pictures. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel setting is 8 x 10 inches. Click links below for more details.
http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=398&pq-locale=en_US&_requestid=2039 ...
http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm ...

The Canon A590IS is a slightly older model that is available everywhere at great sale prices. Think it is a great camera and a best buy. It has auto focus, a viewfinder, optical image stabilization, and uses rechargeable NiMH batteries.
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/A590IS/A590ISA.HTM ...
http://bountii.com/deal-1523871-canon-powershot-8-0-megapixel.html ...

For expanded wide angle or telephoto capabilities, the A590 IS is compatible with Canon's accessory lens adapters: A small button next to the lens bezel is actually a latch; press it and you can remove the bezel ring, exposing a bayonet mount for accessory lenses. Canon offers the WC-DC52 0.7x wide-angle lens, the TC-DC52A telephoto lens, the 250D 52mm closeup lens separately, along with the LA-DC52G adapter to mount them on the camera. (Note that the wide, tele, and macro lenses all need the LA-DC52G adapter to mount them to the camera. The lenses won't work by themselves.)

There is no one particular place to get great buys, but you may see something above that really helps you find the best buy. Click on the second link in the information above for an example then search for your camera of choice at the upper left. Camera prices at this link change often.

This could be the best slim line camera with a viewfinder and ... It's PINK, but it uses a $49.50 Series G Rechargeable 960mAh lithium-ion battery.

There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices. The following information should help you know what to look for in a camera.

CAUTION Do not overcharge! Batteries can be damaged. Use an automatic two or more hour Energizer Compact smart charger with temperature monitor, trickle charge technology, and safety timer ($9.76) at Walmart. Use pre-charged 2000mAh Duracell ($12.97) or RayOVac ($5.97) batteries (both hold charge one year) and a full cycle charge. To preserve battery charge, use the viewfinder.

CAUTION To prevent memory card corruption, keep batteries charged and don't delete. Wait for lights to stop flashing then turn camera off before removing memory. For card readers, double click Safely Remove Hardware. Select, then click Stop and OK.

Lots of great camera tips in this link.
http://www.danscamera.com/Learning/going_digital/#resolution ...

My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7 x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes ... like magic.

Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Once you select a camera, read all about it in the owner's manual. You can view owners manuals at this link, but will need to Login. http://www.retrevo.com/s/digital+camera ...

Video recording quality.?

Colossus 9

Can a Video Camera user tell me if it is possible to give a video camera recording more of a movie/film quaility with more saturated colours ect, and not look so cold and harsh like a 'My Birthday party' video. Is there a filter I could use or is it just down to using proffessional video cameras.
Thanks for the input guys.

Answer
You will need some kind of mini-DV or HDD video camera at the minimum ... something that will produce broadcast quality video. You can shoot using 16:9 aspect ratio to give you the look of Wide Screen.

But to really do what the big boys do, you will need a HD quality video camera. Panasonic, Sony, JVC and Canon are but four that make such cameras.

Here is a link to one such camera

http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/hvx200microsite/index.asp
http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camcorders/panasonic-ag-hvx200/4505-6500_7-31520842.html

I will have to assume you have a video editing system with the software necessary to edit professional video.

FS100 Canon camcorder video recording help?

Brittney

Okay. So my mom bought me this camera a few christmases back.
But I haven't really started to use it till now.
It's a FS100 Canon camcorder.
Here's a picture. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Wf9bCCQWL.jpg
Here's my problem. When I record a video on it, it won't upload to my Macbook.
It says that the file can't upload.
To record my videos I put the camera on the record button and just hit it.
I didn't change any settings on the camera from when I got it.
Also, I don't know if this helps but I record it on a 2GB SD Card.
I'm almost 100% positive that the memory card isn't the problem though.
Since I've tried it on other cards.
Please help me. I really want to use this camera for it's full use.

Answer
The Canon FS100 is a standard definition, flash memory, consumer, camcorder that saves video files to MPG file type. iMovie cannot deal with that file type directly so the file needs to be transcoded - converted.

MPEG StreamClip
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
and
Flip4Mac
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/flip4macwindowsmediacomponentsforquicktime.html

should both be downloaded and installed to your Mac.

Convert the MPG files to MP4 MOV files... then quit MPEG StreamClip and launch iMovie. Drag the converted files to the sequence pane... edit..

Handheld camera for live gigs?

My Auty =]

Looking for a handheld camera for recording video and sound for live gigs, a good example of what results I'm looking for is the quality of this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxjXMpMmRiQ

Answer
for video quality... this will depend on the lighting...
Luckily for that sample you provided, the lighting guy really knew what he was doing and lit the stage very well. Not every performance will be like that.
Camera suggestions could be any digital camera. Heck, a common iphone could have recorded that with similar video quality.

For audio quality... ... you'll need a camera that will support a mic input.

Best suggestion:
Canon G12
http://www.photographybay.com/2011/01/24/canon-powershot-g12-review/

- features a tilt screen so you can hold the camera high and still see the stage while looking at the screen
- has a hot shoe to put a microphone
- mic imput jack

additional research on external mic

What digital SLR cameras can shoot full HD Video?

Joe

Hi,
I'm interested in getting a digital SLR camera purely for shooting video and wondered if anyone knows of any particular models up to about £800 (about $1300) that fulfills the following requirements:

Full HD at 1920x1080
A file format that would be compatible with Avid editing software (so NOT AVC HD)
Either 25fps or 24fps but not 30fps

Also if any body has any experience of using these cameras, I would be interested to hear what people think of the audio quality.

Any help with this will be much appreciated.
Anyone know of anything at 24 or 25 fps but NOT 20 or 30

Answer
I recommend Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP.
It can shoots brilliant video, even in full high definition. By simply selecting Movie mode on the EOS Rebel T1iâs mode dial, the cameraâs 3.0-inch LCD lights up, and it's ready to go. Shooting is at a frame rate of 30 fps when shooting SD or HD quality video (640 x 480 and 1280 x 720 pixels, respectively) and at a frame rate of 20 fps in Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) recording. Sound is recorded through the cameraâs built-in microphone. Playback modes are simple to access, and all Live View AF features can be used in shooting video.

Is the Canon 5D a good camera for recording HD video?

Also, are Canon DSLR's generally better at recording video than Nikon DSLR's are?

Answer
Ace pretty much has it covered.

The thing with the 5D M2 is that at $2500(Body only, figure another $600 minimum for a lens) it shoots no better video than an $800 t2i.

On the plus side, this is 20 gigs/hour full HD, which is better than all but the most expensive consumer HD camcorders, which max out at 11 gigs/hour. (With the SLR limitations explained by Ace).

And if video is your primary objective, for a comparable $3300 you have the XF100.

DSLRs are weak in several aspects, but for occasional short clips with poor audio, they can be fine. Get the 5D if you want prints of still pictures that are 40-60" tall (about $100 each on nice paper). If you can settle for a print 24-36" tall, go with the t2i or similar. Both have the same video and the t2i will leave you enough change to get a good used XF100 in a couple years.

Cameras for youtube Music videos...?

Prince of

So I used to make solo music videos for youtube using my webcam. But now i've got myself into a band and we want to start making videos together. But we don't want to keep the same bad quality videos as I used to make. Basically we don't know what kind of camera to get. Preferably it would be HD. And obviously it would need to be of decent sound quality. We also are reasonably skint and although we could save for a bit we want to do this quite quickly so we don't want to have to spend to much. Anyone know of anything, thanks :).

Keep Smiling!

Matt McDonagh.

Answer
If you already have a digital camcorder (one that captures in Digital8, MiniDV, HDV, or any of the DVD formats), then you're ready to start shooting your masterpiece. Your camcorder will need some kind of direct connection to your computer, either to the USB or FireWire ports or by inserting the DVD you've recorded. Once you've downloaded the video from the camera, you can upload it to YouTube or bring it into an editing program to play with it some more.

If you have an analog camcorder (one that uses VHS, VHS-C, SVHS-C, 8mm, or Hi8 tape), you can still get your videos onto YouTube. It will require an extra step and some additional equipment, though, since these camcorders are not usually equipped with computer connections. You'll need to digitize the video with a converter box, which will convert the analog signal from the camcorder to a digital signal that the computer can understand. After the video has been digitized, you can manipulate it further or upload it. Regards!

Answer
You listed the same model twice. Digital SLRs are basically manual cameras, you have complete control over every aspect of your image. The downside is that unlike a regular point and shoot, depending on what kind of picture you want to take you might have to fiddle with a bunch of options on the camera to make the picture come out correctly. You can add external flashes, and change the lenses, there are hundreds of lenses you can purchase that will fit on it. So for everyday photos and vacations I wouldn't want to carry one around, although people do. They are bulky, heavy cameras, and theft magnets.

Most DSLRs don't record video, only the newest ones can record video, but you are going to pay $1000+

The Canon Powershot is an automatic camera, meaning that it is meant to be as a point and shoot. You can of course fiddle around and adjust certain things about a picture before you take it, but not have as much control as a DSLR.

So for you I would choose the Powershot, it is a somewhat compact camera, it has a decent 10x zoom, which is rare for a compact camera these days, most are 3x. Do be warned that this won't fit in your pocket, if you want something that will fit in your pocket look at the Powershot elph line from Canon. Don't worry about which model, just make sure it has SDxxx IS in the name, xxx is numbers. I have the SD770IS, which is really nice. The IS stands for Image Stabilization, which makes your shots clearer without using a tripod.

What are some digital cameras that can also record videos?

Q. Like, at least a video thats 5 mmin. long. ya i know depenging on the memory.
Cuz i got DV304 canon today. its so cheap and ugly. 10 secs of vid and idk. i dont like it.

i need a small digital camera that can record videos too. small size of course. and slim and thin. w/e.

kk thnx!

Answer
I got the canon SD 750 about a week ago, and I love it compared to the previous cameras that I have owned. I bought it because of the high review rates for the price of $299. One of the many great features is it take 1 second to turn on, and your ready to take a picture, so you can almost instintly take a picture, once you know your subject. It also has great features like color accent mode or color switch mode. Well, the movie feature that you are wondering about, depends on the amount of memory that you have. You can also use a sd card and it can hold well over 1,000 pics with a 2 gig SD card. It can aso take well over 20min of video with the same card. This card can cost about $45. The camera itself is really small and thin, for all the features it has. You can download pics to your computer by using mini usb cable included with the camera. Overall I think this camera would be perfect for tourism, sport events, events, and protraits.

Why the bridge or even snap and shoot cameras have better video/movie quality than DSLR cameras ?

Laith A

Hello
In most bridge cameras like Panasonic Fz35 , Sony HX1 , Canon SX20 IS or even compact like Sony T90 and others have better video / movie mode than DSLR cameras that have bigger sensors like Pentax K-x , Canon 500D/T1i and Nikon D5000 . The main problem confined in the ability of auto focusing during video mode and the no of fps.
Im wondering of the reason behind that especially we do find that even the smaller cameras like Sony T90 has very good quality of video mode that we could not find in most DSLR cameras.
In fact i do not see that is so important but i would like to add that i have used D5000 and have seen so many reviews on youtube , depreview ,camera lab , digital camera and others . Im interesting in D5000 , K-x , Fz35 and others ,also the new cameras :Sony HX5 , Panasonic ZS7 , Fujifilm F80EXR , Olympus Sp 800UZ and others. THE GOAL is to find a suitable camera for both video and photos.
What i mean the quality of video mode is related to both resolution and fps which include : sharpness , contrast and the movment of the action.

Answer
The higher the level of a camera, the more focused it is on best performance as a still image camera, and the less a manufacturer will care about side features like video. They are reserved for camcorders.

Instead of making compromises, that will diminish still image quality, in favor of better video, the high end cameras feature best possible still images, and only a so-so video. No serious photographer will use an SLR for video recording. So the more serious user they aim for, the less they care. The really high end SLRs have no video capability at all for the same reason.

I want to buy a quality bridge camera with excellent video qaulity budget £200?

Answer
Consumer level HD camcorders 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, 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 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 â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video. Not to mention, but the computer you upload your HD files to jas to have at least a 1 GB video card and a separate Audio card that can support Direct X 9 technology, you normal every day computer has massive troubles with HD video. Consumer level HD camcorders interpolate the video. This means they take one frame, make up the next 4 or 5 frames, take a frame and repeat this, over and over, for the remainder of the video, every video it takes is like this. With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 seconds or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes.

You can get a Canon ZR960 for $250. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a MIC jack. You will need a Firewire (IEEE1394) card ($25 to 30) for the computer and a Firewire cable (less than 10) to be able to transfer video to your computer. To say this is not HD, think about this. It would cost in excess of $3500 to get a HD camcorder that could equal the video Quality of a $250 Canon MiniDV tape camcorder.

Recording voice in video camera?

happygirl

If I had shot a video using a canon camcorder, can I play back and then add voice by using a plug in mic? What kind of mic can I buy for recording?

Answer
You can not add audio for the video in-camera. But, you can leave the lens cap on and record your voice with the camera. It will be a black video clip that you can edit it in later using your video using video editing software like Windows MovieMaker, etc.

The better way is to record your voice using a mic plugged into your PC and using your PC recording program. Your audio will be saved as a .wav file and that can be added and/or replace the existing audio of your video in the editor program.

Ideally, the best audio is done by using a separate recording device. I use a Zoom 4Hn for voice, music, and ambient sound.

Answer
Probably this article with answer your question in best possible way.
It does a quick comparision of videos with point and shoot cameras, consumer grade camcorders and dSLRs. Most people use DSLRs for video without knowing that they are very capable of giving you professional quality videos. Many people get stuck with AF or no AF in the camera during video recording but if you really want to take eye catching professional quality vidoes, you must use Manual Focus to keep the thing you want to keep in focus and not the things your camera likes to keep in focus. Also you need to be able to change the Aperture on the fly to control the depth of field. Most modern lenses don't offer Aperture and Focus ring on the lens. You would also need fast lenses.

Many people get stuck with AF or no AF in the camera during video recording but if you really want to take eye catching professional quality vidoes, you must use Manual Focus to keep the thing you want to keep in focus and not the things your camera likes to keep in focus. Also you need to be able to change the Aperture on the fly to control the depth of field. Most modern lenses don't offer Aperture and Focus ring on the lens. You would also need fast lenses.

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 â 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.

There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition.

Recording voice in video camera?

happygirl

If I had shot a video using a canon camcorder, can I play back and then add voice by using a plug in mic? What kind of mic can I buy for recording?

Answer
You can not add audio for the video in-camera. But, you can leave the lens cap on and record your voice with the camera. It will be a black video clip that you can edit it in later using your video using video editing software like Windows MovieMaker, etc.

The better way is to record your voice using a mic plugged into your PC and using your PC recording program. Your audio will be saved as a .wav file and that can be added and/or replace the existing audio of your video in the editor program.

Ideally, the best audio is done by using a separate recording device. I use a Zoom 4Hn for voice, music, and ambient sound.

Does the Olympus Evolt E-520 Digital SLR Camera have video capture?

ccg

I got the camera for christmas and still don't know everything about it.
So, I'm really curious to know if it can take videos and how to do it.

Answer
No, like most Digital SLR's it DOES NOT have video capture. But hang on to the camera and learn the still photography techniques. Recently, DSLR manufacturers have started adding this feature to some models and I believe that it will become more common on the next "round" of camera models. So there will probably be a newer model soon that will be able to use the Olympus lenses and record video.


Keep in mind that, because of the larger sensor size in DLSR cameras they will need very large memory capacity to shoot video.

digital cameras?

rinxnarcot

for christmas id like a digital camera but theres some thing is needs to have and i cant find the right camera so if you know one tell me

be good for photography
clear pics
not run on batteries
take alot of pictures
videos with sound
and anything else good
any ideas?

Answer
I just bought a casio exilim EX-Z75 with 7.2 megapixels about a week 1/2 ago. I have owned several different camera brands, and I can honestly tell you that there is nothing like the casio exilim. Especially if you are looking for pictures without blurriness, you have made the right choice. It has like a million different modes and settings, including different color modes (like black and white,sepia, red, green, blue, purple, pink, etc.), picture modes (even has an ebay mode!), it has modes for recording, menu modes (it has an easy menu mode). And best of all it has an antishake mode, to reduce blurriness in the pictures. The camera is extremely sleek and stylish, you can get it in different colors which is cool. It is easy to take anywhere. The battery lasts FOREVER, although it's a li-ion rechargeable battery not AA. It has 3x optical zoom. The LCD screen is huge, and it's very easy to use camera, one of the easiest to use in the market. It uses SD memory card. It has many different flash modes(including auto flash, where the camera chooses itself what type of flah it will use or if the picture requires any flash at all) , and it has different flash intensity modes.

And not to mention, the pictures are amazing.

How can you record video game play from your TV with a video camera?

Bueller

I don't want to actually record the screen cuz that makes it all fuzzy and I want to be able to transfer the video to a video sharing site like Youtube? Can you help? 10 points to best answer!

Answer
This is a toughie! The problem is, your video camera samples at a consistent rate, and the TV refreshes at a consistent rate. So what you get is called a "beat frequency" - kind of like looking at a fan going really fast when it looks like it's moving slowly.

There are two ways to get rid of the line:

1) Some cameras have randomizers to enable videotaping a TV screen like this, to eliminate the beat frequency, or

2) Adjust your video camera's sample rate (or screen's refresh rate) until you get an acceptable picture. It's really hard to get it to STOP, it's easier to set them to be very different and minimize interference that way.

Hope this helps!

A Good Video Camera To Record Video Games With ?

Dan

Alright I would like to do a gaming walkthrough for Youtube and I need a good camera that records T.V. decently and is see-able and has good audio. I can spend around 150-160 on a camera but It needs to work with a 1997 Dell :o.

Please make sure you know what your talking about please, don't just put random cameras that you have no clue about. Just make sure It can record off a 28' inch tv and picks up audio good.

-Thanks!

Answer
you could pick any cheap cameras and split the signal from your console to run to your tv and camera and record off it. you could also add in a mic to record sound simultaneously

Does the Mega pixel of a camera matters on the Video Recording?

The_One

does it matter if it's a 2.0 Mp camera or 5.0 Mp camera for recording?

what should I also consider on video recording?

I'm not trying to get those high class Camcorder...just planning on mobile phones (Iphon, LG viewty, LG shine, Samsung ect)

Answer
No, the mega-pixel value of the lens is not necessarily directly relevant to the performance of a camera that is recording video.

When looking for video recording, make sure the device is capable of recording at a rate of 30 frames per second (FPS). This is considered the standard national frame rate for the United States. Other countries use PAL, which is based on 24 FPS.

If you plan on recording video for use like in web pages, then the 320x240 resolution might be suitable for you.

If you want to have a better video recording, like something you might want to burn to DVD, then you need to have a camera that can sustain 30 FPS at a 640x480 minimum resolution.

The chips that are used to 'catch' photos that are installed in most all camera phones are of low quality. They are just not in the same category at all. Camera phones will also produce poor quality audio as well. Consider them good for catching emergency shots, for example like an automotive accident for evidence in a court of law.

While I would not go for a mobile phone for digital still photos or for video, I would go for a digital still photo camera that performs these functions.

For example, my 7.2 megapixel Sony camera takes great photos. It takes darn good video with audio as well. The video clip lengths are only limited by the amound of flash memory you have in your device. I really love this camera. Not to mention, as of December 15th 2007, it is currently going for something like $129.99 USD. It even comes with a carrying case, Sony rechargeable batteries, disposable batteries, hand strap, internal memory, and an intuitive user interface to boot. Check it out here: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=20005005 or browse to http://www.sony.com/ and search for Cyber-shot® DSC-S700.

A Professional SLR Camera or a HD Video Camera?

raynos13

I am considering to buy either of those two. My problem is that I cannot decide whether I prefer having a Video Cam or a regular Camera.


I am looking into the Cannon EOS Rebel XTi (not sure about the name) Camera but it does not have any video recording for those moments which requires it. Is there a high quality SLR Camera which records some video?

The Sony Hard Drive High Def Cameras are one of my choices because I am quite familiar with them. But, they record unto a new format for HD which almost no video editing software can edit it still. I think its AVCHD.

So any recommendations?

Answer
Digital SLRs generally do not record video, because of their design. The mirror which bounces the image into the pentaprism is, naturally, in the way of the CMOS or CCD, so the image is only captured when the mirror is up (that is, when the shutter is open).

Most stills cameras that shoot video shoot pretty lousy video, and, likewise, most video cameras that capture stills do so as an afterthought. The two features aren't really compatible -- yet.

What is the best SLR camera that has HD video recording as well for a beginner on a high school budget?

erica_yu_h

I'm interested in both photography and videography. Since it's too expensive to buy an SLR AND an HD videocam, I thought buying two in one would be best. :) I only have point-and-shoot cameras and videocams (that aren't HD). I'm taking up photography and videography sometime soon.

Answer
Your best bet would be between the Canon Rebel T2i/550d or the Nikon D5000. The Rebel puts out 1080p, while the Nikon only 720p. If you can afford the Rebel take it, it has some of the best quality for photography as well as video recording, but the D5000 isn't that far behind plus its a lot cheaper than the Rebel.

What are Nexus 7's video capabilities?

brahmaputr

I was thinking about buying a Nexus 7 tablet but what are its video camera capabilities? I understand it only has a front facing camera--is there a way around this to shoot conventional videos--not just of myself? If there is a way to do this, how does the quality compare to conventional video cams? Thx

Answer
Unveiled late last month at Google I/O 2012, the Nexus 7 is one of the most well received tablets since the iPad 2. Critics are absolutely loving the Nexus 7 because it offers the features of a $500 tablet â quad core processor, a gig of RAM, HD display, long lasting battery life, powerful graphics etc. etc. â at just $199. Combine all that with the latest version of Android, 4.1 Jelly Bean, and you get the best in Android tablet experiences today.

Most of these critics received their review unit of the Nexus 7 at Google I/O. The first thing these folks do is record themselves unboxing the device. Iâve never personally found any interest in watching people unbox a gadget, but one Jean-Louis Nguyen went through some of the most popular unboxing videos and created a montage out of them after he realized that the Nexus 7âs packaging is horribly difficult to open. Check it out after the jump.



The video â which weâve embedded at the very bottom â shows shorts clips taken from unboxing videos recorded by fifteen different reviewers coming from sites like DroidDog, PocketNow, Phandroid, LATimes, TechnoBuffalo, PhoneDog and GameStop.

All reviewers are shown pushing and pulling, shaking and baking, and almost coming near to pulling their hair out as they do their best to remove the Nexus 7 from its packaging, in short; itâs a small fight to unbox a Nexus 7 tablet, something which might prove to be a turn-off for a lot of users. Nguyen categorically states that this video is for comic relief purposes and is âall in good humorâ.



The release of the Nexus 7 has given rise to Kindle Fire 2 and iPad Mini rumors, which are expected to be announced later this year. While the Nexus 7 has pretty much every tablet beat on pure specifications, it still lacks the great variety of digital content â music, movies, TV shows â that Amazon and Apple offer. If Amazon and Apple can match the Nexus 7âs specs and offer the same digital library, then the Nexus 7 will be in for some very heavy competition.

And we all love competition in the market, it really makes us drool over the choices we have before we ultimately go for the purchase.

What is a good camera that zooms far and that can record videos? ?

jrichmine_

I am looking for a camera that zooms far and that can record videos well or visa versa: a camcorder that takes good pictures and has good optical zoom (10-15x). I am going to the mountains in a couple of weeks and I want to take great pictures. My budget is around $275, but I can spend up to $300.

Answer
There is a low cost Canon camcorder that can take so so still pictures and great video, but have not seen digital cameras that can match the video of a camcorder. Have been looking at cameras for some time now and the best information I have is below.

Just saw this camera at Best Buy and think it is a great camera and a best buy. It has an optical viewfinder and uses NiMH rechargeable batteries. Please read as much of the following as you can for other information and help with choosing a camera.
Canon A590IS $134.99 at Best Buy or $116.30 at Amazon.com

There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best, but digital is definitely the way to go. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices.

What gives a camera its picture quality? The following information should help you know what to look for in a camera.

The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.

Many of the new cameras come with only an LCD screen. Would suggest that you find one that also has an optical view finder because the LCD screen is almost impossible to see in bright sun.

Higher mega pixels may not really be the best thing to look for. It is more expensive, takes longer to process, and may not be needed unless you are making a really large picture or blowing up a small part of a picture. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel setting is 8 x 10 inches.

The information about my camera is just to show that you don't need the biggest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.
My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes ... like magic.

Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Ask what cameras they own, but don't believe everything you hear. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner's manual. Just learned that my camera has red-eye prevention and correction. It also has adaptive lighting. You may be able to view the owners manual at this link, but will need to Login. http://www.retrevo.com/s/digital+camera ...

What is the absolute best digital camera around [pictures, video, recording, ect...]?

xCaffeineC

Something hopefully around $600 or $700 but perferably under! And I need something with the full package with camera effects, great lighting, video added, but mostly for pictures!

Answer
Check out www.dpreview.com and read about the lastest cameras and reviews. The best fit for you is different than for a pro. Cameras have different sensors (Canon uses CMOS) and (Fuji uses two sensors) therefore, it all has to do with personal taste.
Canon is rated number one in many areas for pros but if you want a " point and shoot camera" you should consider size, weight, easy of use. Go to Staples or local camera store and see the look and feel.
The larger the megapixel image the better the enlargement but more storage is need on your computer.

digital camera recording video?

jks

my cam always skips sounds...i have a finepix a345 4.1 mega pixles...i use rechargable batteries...how can my cam not sound like crap at concerts & get better quality? i recorded a song at def leppard & it skips when i replay it =[ i have tons of other shows ahead to bootleg & would love info on how to inprove sound quality & picture

Answer
The Sony DSC-T50 or T100 digital cameras have very nice video options, they are great for concerts and so far for me have been great. The DSC-T50/T100 uses a condenser microphone so it handles extremely loud noises very well. You are most likely hearing skips in the recorded songs because when you record a concert the huge speakers produce a low bass that makes the camera adjust the sound level to pick up even louder sounds and then when the bass note is over it takes about half a second for the camera to readjust. Take a look at my videos that I have made with my DSC-T50 at concerts. http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=prometheus53189&p=r

how do u make a digital camera have flash while recording a video at night?

SelenaGome

i want to take a video at night in the dark but i dont know how to make it have flash or light while taking the video my camera is polaroid and its digital

Answer
It is not practical to do that.

Flash is only for still pictures, meaning 1 press of the shutter 1 flash, 1 picture, this is called 1 frame. This has to sync with your camera or you don't get a picture. Some cameras can give you a few flashes continuous but this is never used for video.

video needs continuous source of light because video shoots anywhere from 30 frames down to a few frames per second, also depends if your camera has capability to adjust frames per second for video.

For example surveillance camera systems shoot from 1 to 30 frames per second, they are usually set 2 or 5 frames to save on storage space.

flash also needs to recharge between use, usually takes a few seconds for flash to charge up and give that tremendous burst of light for that 1 picture. Better models can recycle the flash faster, it also discharges your batteries really fast.

NV Video camera question about SD cards - How many hours will an 8G SD card record in Night Vision?

Lori

I recently purchased a Bell & Howell Night Vision video camera. I also purchased two 8G SD cards. Does anyone know how many hours of recording they will hold? Thank you!

Answer
Is it the DNV900HD camera? Knowing the exact model would have made it easier to look up the specifications. The Product Description section for this model on Amazon.com indicates that with the maximum amount of memory installed (2x32GB or 64GB of memory) the camera can record "more than 20 hours" of video. You have 1/4 of that amount (16GB), so I expect that you can record at least five hours.

The night vision capability should not make any difference in how much space is needed to record video, but look for settings to change the resolution: lower settings will use less space. I could not find a manual online, but if you have the user's Guide, it may contain information about storage requirements at different settings.
