How is this camera?? I heard that it takes great pictures but I want to make sure becuase the one I have now isnt very clear and detailed pictures..
Also, can you change certain settings right directly on the camera such as black & white, sepia, etc?
Answer
Sorry to tell you this, but generally speaking it is rarely the camera that is to blame for bad images.
You can put a fantastic professional camera in the wrong hands, and it will take lousy photos. A good photographer can coax great photos out of even the simplest cameras.
If you borrow a few books on photography and watch a bunch of tutorials, you will learn a lot.
With some knowledge, you WILL take much better photos and you will learn to overcome (or at least realize) whatever limitations your camera has.
Then there is the issue of using special effects in camera.... the short answer is:
DON'T DO IT !
Imagine if you just happen to take the best photo you ever took - surely you would want to have it in all its glory, right?
Always set your camera to biggest size, best quality (and to color).
That way, you start with the best possible photo as your original.
Then you make a copy and edit it to your heart's content.
You have much better control over any editing on your computer, even something as simple as b&w will look MUCH better when it was processed properly instead of in camera.
You can do all sorts of things to it PLUS you get to keep your original.

Anyone know any specifics about this security camera?

I'm looking at a 700TVL Indoor/Outdoor Vandal Proof Dome Camera 130ft IR (Infrared), 2.8mm-12mm lens, Sony Effio 12V for a friend of mine. I cant seem to find out anything about he megapixels on it.
Anyone who knows what the MP on this camera, please help me out.
Answer
You did not tell us which manufacturer or the label on it.
That is because video resolution is not measure using "megapixels". That is a resolution measurement used for still images. Video resolution is measured using horizontal row count. In this case, 700 TV lines... without knowing which camera, there is no way to know whether is is capable of high definition or standard definition video - and we also need to know if the video will be transported over coax cable or using an IP network. Knowing the "megapixel count" is only on small piece of information related to resolution and potential video quality... the video compression used, cabling system and several other factors need to be known, too.
For residential installations, I use Swann or Lorex cameras. If the camera is less than about $150, expect it to fail in about 6 months. I've burned through the cheap stuff on eBay and the low-end at cameras from several places in a couple of months. The slightly more expensive Lorex and Swann cams just keep working...
