Where can I find these types of cameras?

dslr camera wrist strap image

Henkyo

A Camera can take pictures underwater and out of water? (With good quality without an blurriness)

A Camera can take pictures of fish and sea mammals under water behind a clear glass window at an aquarium? (With good quality without any blurriness of the movements and flash reflection on the glass)

A Camera can take pictures of anything with fast movements with better quality? (without blurriness of the movements) Like birds flying or mammals shaking all the water off of them.

A Camera can take pictures of anything at night or in the dark with better quality?

If you know what types of cameras that can do these things, please tell me.
@John - I see your point. Thank you for your time, John.
Then..... Why do some of the photos that I've seen have better quality even underwater, at night, and fast movements?

Should I show some examples?

Answer
For underwater photography there are waterproof cameras. There are also underwater housings available for many cameras. Generally you pay a price in money for the quality or quality for the money to be waterproof. It is best to use a wrist strap with some floatation when using an underwater camera.
The best digital camera that is immersible without an additional housing is currently the Nikon AW1, about $800 with waterproof 11-27.5mm kit lens. $1000 for a kit that includes the 11-27.5mm plus the waterproof 10mm f2.8. Currently this camera seems to be backordered everywhere.

To get pictures through a window, you want to avoid flash. You want to find a clean spot on the window. It helps to bring the lens as close to the window as possible to minimize reflections. It can help if the camera is black rather than bright colors to minimize reflections. It can help if the lens has filter threads to accept attachments. A screw in, soft rubber lens hood can be helpful pressed against the window to decrease reflections.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/21870-REG/Heliopan_701540_40_5mm_Rubber_Lens_Hood.html

For low light a bigger sensor helps. The Nikon AW1 has a 1" sensor that is significantly larger than the 1/2.3" sensors of the compact underwater cameras. Wider aperture can help you in low light. If you are getting a Nikon AW1, that 10mm f2.8 can be worthwhile to get.
A possible disadvantage to an underwater camera is that being sealed up watertight, moisture from ambient air is trapped inside. Go from a moist warm environment when closing it up, to a cooler environment, and condensation may form. You may need to open the camera and give it a treatment in a bag with silica gel packs to dry it in advance of use.
Non-waterproof cameras in underwater housings solve this by having room in the housing for silica gel packs to prevent fogging underwater.
Never use rice as a drying agent. Its effectiveness is poor, and it risks getting particles into things.
For low light, if the 1" sensor of the AW1 is good, the even larger sensor of a DSLR can be better. However, to use a DSLR underwater you need a housing, and good DSLR housings cost over $1000.
The Nikon AW1 is water-resistant enough for snorkeling, but not enough for SCUBA diving.
Even with a large sensor and a wide aperture, night shots will still require a tripod.

For pictures of animals it helps to use longer focal lengths. The Nikon AW1 is compatible with the non-waterproof Nikon 1 series of lenses. (Don't use a non-waterproof lens underwater.) The selection is limited. The most powerful telephoto is the 30-110mm.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/823602-REG/Nikon_3312_VR_30_110mm_f_3_8_5_6_Lens.html
Because of the smaller sensor, the angular field of a 110mm lens on the Nikon 1 is the same as a 200mm lens on an APS-C DSLR. You can use even longer DSLR lenses on the Nikon 1 with adapters, but it gets cumbersome. A DSLR gives you more potential power, although see above issue on underwater use.
The Nikon AW1, even with its Nikon 1 30-110mm lens can work well enough with a good light travel tripod like the MeFOTO RoadTrip or the Manfrotto Befree. However, more front heavy lenses may require a heftier tripod head to work well with.

Is it normal to feel a bit awkward when you first get your DSLR and carrying it around for the first?

T

time for taking pictures? Also, what can help with that feeling?
You know, carrying it outside around your neck with the strap for the first time.

Answer
I don't use any type of strap around my neck or body, and I sure would not use the strap that comes with cameras with the huge brand name on the strap.

I use a strong Op Tech wrist strap and many times people will never even see you have a camera. Of course, when not shooting, you basically have to function one handed, but I still prefer it to having that camera hanging on me.

What is the cheapest but best quality digital camera?

65 megapixel camera image

pinksandbe

i need to have it feature taking pics in black and white except for a certain color. Like for examply all the girls are wearing pink in the pic so their shirts will be the only color that shows, the rest in black and white. if you can find a camera can do that let me know. but if u can find a photoshop that is cheap or free that can do that, let me know. Thanks!

Answer
Photoscape is free and so is GIMP and you can do that in any of the 38 of the 40 free editing software and all the 12 super duper editors (that cost $800). all in all you can do it in any computer program, there is no need to get the 2 cameras that do that in camera.

There's a few canon compacts that do that. They are good cameras but that definitely limits you. They are full auto compacts, no flip screen, no control, low ISO, bad night shots, tiny- you will drop it, and so on and so on. You can get any pocket camera with all the features you want and do the color splash for fun on the computer. or get a $50,000 65 megapixel Hasselblad and do that on the computer. People have been doing that on the computer for 10 years. or more. Canon put it in a camera directly in July.

What steps should I take to start my own on-the-side photography business?

Mike

I have a Sony DSC-R1 camera, plenty of memory sticks, and Abode Photoshop CS2. I have lots of experience in taking photos for personal use, but how do I break into the business side of photography? I want to do weddings, parties, events, etc.

Answer
First of all, you won't make it in the business with a camera that doesn't have an interchangeable lense. It's a sad fact, but true. No matter what megapixel or digital zoom it comes with.

That aside, first you need to be good enough to the point, where it's fair of you to charge customers for your service. Photographing for personal use isn't good enough. So, that means you need to get some experience. The best option out there is to get an apprenticeship with a local photographer, whose style you enjoy and admire. Spend a few years with him/her and learn the trade. You'll also get an insight into the photography business and see if it's what you really want. Running your own business isn't easy and isn't always fun. Trust me on this, you'll give up a LOT of your own personal time with family and friends and you will lose a lot of sleep getting it running. If you can't get an apprenticeship, invest into books and courses. Links to all books and resources are listed below. Two great organizations to learn are Professional Photographers of America (which also offers apprenticeships) and Wedding & Portrait Photographers International. Each organization offers great benifits such as courses, learning materials, networking, etc.

So, now you have about a years worth of professional education behind you, now what? You need to invest into equipment. A professional 3 light setup is going to run you close to $1500. Photogenic is the #1 used lighting system in the professional business. I believe about 88% of us use it. If you do weddings, having a portrait background is a must for formals. I'd reccomend canvas backgrounds as they are creaseless (if handled correctly) and not too pricey. Also, you need to figure out how you are going to handle all your printing. Are you going to invest $20,000 into printers or have a lab? TPI Photo is a great lab that I've always loved and will reccomend to anyone. What albums are you going to offer for weddings? I use Albums Inc for all my wedding albums, specifically the line of Renaissance albums they offer as Renaissance produces some of the top albums in the industry.

How are you going to advertise? Word of mouth is how I started and that alone generated 65% of my business (I now handle almost 70 weddings a year). Then I started off with small flyers that I passed out. I quickly purchased business cards to pass out at any oppertunity possible. Shortly after I had a couple weddings, I purchased tri-fold brochures. Now, I run ads in the yellow pages, 3 times a day on the radio, and once a week on the television. I also attend at least 5 bridal shows (the best way to get your name out) in my area a year. You'll get close to 200 brides visiting you. I also network with local florists, wedding planners, honeymoon spots, reception areas, etc. I now have an 6'x8' sign out in front of my hom studio and one billboard on the way into town.

Now, are you going to have a studio or just run it out of your house? If you have an official business you need to register as your services are tax free and a photography studio is tax exempt. Also, if your name isn't in the studio name, you have to pay for it. You also have to start saving up any receipt for business to use for tax deductions. Also figure out sewage, electric, gas, water, heating, mileage, the space that you take up in your house, etc for tax deductions also.

I could spend more time, but if you want more help, email me: chris@wise-photos.net

Looking for a quality dslr with a fair price?

dslr camera 1080p hd video image

Seth Lipta

Want a dslr that shoots in 1080p HD video, obviously inter changeable lenses and manual focus, I know some cameras have automatic color correctors, I want this to be able to turn this feature OFF. Lastly it should be under 500 dollars. Thanks guys!

Answer
There aren't any at that price. The only decent camera I know of, dslr type, at that price is the
Canon 1000D which I own - but it doesn't do video.

I also have a Canon 500D which does do video but at retail it's about $700.

Do you know anything about photo editing in software? If you did you'd understand that there's really no such thing as a "color corrector". That would be a lazy person's way of taking snaps - not photos.

What you're apparently not understanding is that dslr cameras, like their earlier cousins the slr line of film cameras, are intended for serious photography - not snaps. If you're interested enough in a dslr to properly learn the camera and take serious photos then edit them for color, among other things, you'll be ready for one.

What is the best camera for HD video?

Elijah

Hi, I like to create videos on youtube, and I'm trying to get to the next level. I was considering purchasing a DSLR but i'm not sure that would be best for video. If you could suggest a good camera for $200-$500 with 1080p HD that will last that would be awesome.

Answer
Nikon has a great DSLR and takes great pics as well as video. I would look into something like that or the just get a decent video camera instead of a DSLR. I would suggest reading up on the video cameras and see if you can get a deal on Amazon, Ebay, or even one of the auction sites like Quibitz , bestpennysell.com.

Do you think 64gb iPad will be enough to hold photographs or should I go for 128gb?

ipad 2 camera megapixel image

Torshannon

I want something portable and iPad is perfect for me. Let me make it clear that I do not want a laptop. I already have an SD card reader and a camera connecter for the iPad.

I am just wondering how many 12.2 megapixels photos can the 64gb hold? This is for the canon 1100d.

Or should I go for the 128gb? I am planning to keep the iPad for a long time, maybe 10+ years if it last long. I do not usually keep up with latest technology. Heck, I still have the original iPhone from 2007 and just using it for calls and net browsing. 6 years. And still pleased with it.

Answer
I certainly wouldn't be storing any important photos on it without backup. It depends on what your needs are. If you are using it to show customers your work, probably the 64GB would be enough although the 128GB version would afford you approx. twice as much storage. You don't really need to store high resolution images on it unless you intend to pixel peep or seriously zoom in. If you are showing your work as a whole i.e per photo, then reducing your images down to the screen resolution and pixel count... should make each image quite small in physical size. You then can store literally tens of thousands of images on that iPad.

What is the difference between Ipad 2 and Ipad3?

cgrad2013

I'm getting ready to buy an IPAD but I don't know if its worth the extra 100 dollars.
From what I understand the Ipad3 has a nicer resolution? But what else can 3 do that 2 can not?

Answer
There are actually quite a lot of improvements that were taken on-board the iPad three, however, it could be entirely summed up that the iPad 3 is an upgraded version of the iPad 2, created to benefit the user by giving him an improved overall experience, both when it comes to hardware as well as software comparability. However, the main changes on the iPad 3 are primarily hardware-based.

Below are the differences between the iPad 2 and iPad 3, and weather they are worth spending an extra $100 based on each improvement.

- Processor (Chip): The iPad 3 boasts an Apple A5X Chip, while the older version of the iPad, the iPad 2, utilizes the A5 Chip. The main difference you will see between these two chips is speed. Although the iPad 2 is very fast in itself, the iPad 3 is just that much faster, and might be more useful if you're a frequent app user, especially processor-intensive apps. The benefit of getting the iPad 3 in this case would that it won't be out-dated as easily, as processor-demanding apps come out on the market. With the same reasoning, the iPad 2 will, in time, not be able to cope with newer software, which is why, in 2-3 years it will be phased out by Apple.

The main question here isn't if - but when. If you're ready to spend $100 for something that will, in theory - last longer before becoming obsolete, then go for the iPad 3. However, if you need something a bit on the cheap side, and don't intend on either using the iPad for more than 3years, or not use very processor-intensive applications, then go for the iPad 2.

- The Screen: The iPad 3 utilizes "Full HD" Retina display, while the iPad 2 utilizes a 720p HD Display. The main difference here is picture quality. The iPad 3 will give you a crisp - almost pixel free - especially for text (thanks to it's Retina Display), while the iPad 2, although having an amazing display, will be, by comparism, a less aquidate display. Personally, I don't see why anyone would switch to the iPad 3 based solely off display, quite frankly, although the quality on the iPad 3 is stunning, the iPad 2 offers a great overall display.

- The Camera: The iPad 3 features a 8MP, Full HD (1080p) camera which shoots at 30fps with stabilization, and face detection. The iPad 2, in comarism offers a 720p video camera with the ability to shoot low-quality stills, with x5 digital zoom. The front cameras, are generally both the same, although the front facing camera on the iPad 3 is just a bit better due to an integrated camera lence, rather than a video-shooting lence taking stills. Neither front-facing camera on the models mentioned have their MegaPixels specified. Personally, due to the major added improvements on the iPad 3's camera, I would spend the extra money on it.

- Wireless & Cellular: the iPad 3 offers 4G LTE, while the iPad 2 offers 3G networking. The only difference between the two is the wireless speed you'll be achieving on your iPad. The 4G network is a new type of network, currently being rolled out (and integrated) on all flagship phones and tablets, however, most phones currently only support 3G. If you have the extra money, I would spring for the 4G Network, however, unless you're really impatient, if you don't want to spend the money, go for the iPad 2.

--

When it boils down to it, it's only $100, I would go for the iPad 3, it being the newest item on the market, it will get "old" slower than the iPad 2, which already has a successor.

--

I hope you've found this helpful and helped you make an informed decision! I bet you'll love your new iPad, whichever one you choose!

How do I know which megapixel camera to get? A 10 or an 8?

megapixel analog camera image

Crystal

I've been reading reviews on some cameras and some people say just b/c a camera megapixel setting is higher doesn't mean you'll get a better picture. Is this true? I notice that some 8 megapixel cameras get really good reviews and are cheaper than the 10 megapixel cameras. The 10 megapixel cameras get really good reviews too, but are more expensive. How do I know what camera to buy?

Answer
Pay no attention to the megapixels. Every modern camera has more than enough for anything you would want to do. In fact to many megapixels on a tiny sensor can be worse.

The biggest determiner of image quality would be the optics (lens). On point and shoot cameras I would go for the one with the most zoom. With an SLR you should get the best lens you can afford.

Next would be the analog to digital converter (the inner workings of the camera). This is how the camera takes what it sees and converts it to a digital image.

Next would be the sensor size. Point and shoot cameras have tiny sensors. SLR's have much larger sensors. As much as 15 times larger. This is why a 6mp DSLR will take a far superior photo than a 12mp point and shoot.

Finally would be the amount of mega pixels. While technically speaking the more mp the larger and more detailed you can blow up a picture. The problem comes in the size of the pixels not in how many there are. Tiny pixels generate more heat on the sensor. More heat equals more noise or grainyness to your pictures.

So I would encourage you to look at all the other features of the camera. The one that has the features you want is the camera you should get.

Hello

Not all DVRs are created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of DVRs you can find the equivalent of a $10,000 Kia and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels and windshield but that where the similarities end, itâs under the hood that counts. Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for.

I suggest you buy a PC based DVR has they have more processing power and normally have a much smaller file size and offer more features then Standalone DVR's. I know many people buy a cheap standalone DVR, only to upgrade to a PC based in 6 months especially when they are using it to manage a store remotely. Also PC based allows you to record up to 64 cameras where a standalone will have a limit of 16.

Many people have the misconception that a PC-Based DVR is simply an off-the-shelf PC with video capture (encoder) cards, display (decoder) cards and some generic OEM software. A true DVR requires years of research and development to facilitate the seamless integration of both the hardware and software. DVRs are highly complex systems that must run 24/7, processing millions of images per day. This makes consumer-level hardware inadequate for DVRs which is why Ascendent uses custom-built PCs with performance-level hardware.

My personal favorite DVR is Ascendent X4 series: Ascendentâs Tri-Fusion Hybrid Platform allows for the creation of a true hybrid surveillance system by utilizing the advantages of Analog, Megapixel, and IP technologies for unparalleled customization and expandability. I am working on government projects and use Ascendent cameras and DVR because the offer superior performance and cost less then comparable brands like bosh, Honeywell and pelco.

The X4 also uses the latest H.264/SVC codec offer video substantially better quality,. While its file size sizes is 30% smaller than MPEG-4, 60% smaller than MPEG-2, and exponentially smaller than MJPEG.

File size is crucial to streaming because most DVRâs on the market record at real time performance (30FPS per channel) so on a 4CH is trying to send 120, 8CH 240, and a 16CH 480 images per second which requires way too much bandwidth even for the most extreme internet connections.

The smaller the files size the more images are able to be sent, and the faster they can be processed improving both FPS and speed. File size is the heart of any DVR and goes far beyond just its streaming capabilities, as it also determines the recording storage time, how much you can back up at once, how fast it renders and searches video. The file size of a DVR impacts the performance of the DVR in just about every aspect from speed to longevity and is often the most important spec of any DVR.

If you are buying a DVR and streaming is a high priority I suggest you ask for a demo and connect to the DVR to make sure it is able to stream fast enough for your needs. Most DVRs say they have remote viewing but it is often too slow and laggy to be of any use especially if it is a standalone. Some good DVR brands that I recommend are Bosch, Pelco, Honeywell and Ascendent. These brands are what security professionals use, Q-see, Swan and Lorex are only used in residential applications because they are sold by Tiger Direct, Spytown, Newegg, Sams Club, Costco and other retail outlets but are not used by any security professionals also their tech support rarely speaks English as their first language...

These brand manufacturers also have a complete line of CCTV cameras for any application from residential to military.

interchangeable lens system
no gimmicks like geotagging or face detection

lossless digital zoom is a gimmick

I think you are comparing that new phone camera that Nokia put out. Don't. It's still a crappy camera in the end due to the tiny sensor and awful optics. It is meant to turn heads and grab ignorant buyers who fall for the 41megapixel hocum

Is Nokia's Lumia 1020 an excellent camera or just a gimmick?

Xavier

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23272758

It claims to have a 41 megapixel sensor.

Does this mean it's 4 times better than my camera with 10 megapixels?

The Lumia has no optical zoom but with 41mp would you need an optical zoom? Would the pic be so large you can just crop what you want?

Answer
It's just a gimmick...sensationalism at its finest, marketing propaganda call it what you like, the important factor in quality images is the size of the photo sensor...people who have a genuine interest in photography understand this, the average punter in the street doesn't so smartphone manufacturers 'suggest' that the more megapixels the better the quality of the photo...and it's not exactly true...it is misleading.

I honestly believe that the Nokia camera will produce decent images for 'snap happy' teenagers, you won't see many professional photographers using smartphones just yet to cover 'weddings'...that's a pity...because it would save them an absolute fortune..!

No it isn't anywhere near as good as your 10 megapixel camera (as long as we are talking about cameras - not a smartphone camera)...and the smartphone image wouldn't have much room for 'cropping' or manipulation - compared to a dedicated camera image with fewer 'megapixels'.

@ Rob...I'm actually a fan of Nokia Rob...never had a bad experience from a Nokia product...and used a lot of them before 'Apple' knocked them right out of the game...I have the greatest respect for them as a manufacturer.

Seriously though...if Nokia has developed or made technological improvements on the scale that you suggest...then they would be making cameras and not 'smartphones'.

Yes the cameras on Nokia products have been greatly improved and put much of the competition to shame...they do not threaten dedicated cameras in the slightest...and that is what the nature of this question was...I, myself and Sound Lab aren't 'mockers' of Nokia...we see their products for what they are 'smartphones'...if you are serious about quality images you just don't use a smartphone camera.

Before I answered this question I realised that I was entering unfamiliar territory, I wouldn't put Nokia in the same basket as some other smartphone manufacturers...who have been milking the megapixel propaganda purely for profit...as I say I respect Nokia for their effort in research and development.

I apologise for the tone of my comment...honestly it isn't my intention to upset or offend anybody..

why do makes cameras with much more pixels than nikon?

18 megapixel camera nikon image

Juan

ive been looking at the best nikon cameras and they reach up to 12.3 or more pixels (nikon d700), but the canon ones reach 18 megapixels with not a very professional camera (EOS 50D)
is canon better than nikon in this way?

Answer
Hey,

Since you've been looking at such models, I thought you know about megapixels so far.

More megapixels on a camera is what makes beginners think that images are sharper, clearer, better looking. No, see, 50D has an APS-C sensor, that's smaller than Full Frame. And these sensors are just not good with so many megapixels, like 15. At least not today, because if you'd compare noise from D700 and 50D, you'd see that D700 wins. The difference will be huge.

And that's because Canon is in somekind of pixel war with themselves lately. If you take a look at G11, you'll see that it has less megapixels than G10. Maybe they finally got it.

The camer with 18 megapixels is 7D. I hope you understand that megapixels are not everything..

What is the best camera and lens to use for weddings?

splefka

Looking to buy another Pro camera and I'd like to know what other wedding photographers are using.

Answer
I got the Nikon D60 camera for Christmas, and it beat my old camera by a long shot. I love this thing!
Technical Details

* Extraordinary 10.2-megapixel DX-format Nikon picture quality
* Includes 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR and 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lenses
* 2.5-inch LCD screen; horizontal and vertical orientation are detected automatically
* Continuous shooting at 3 fps; Active Dust Reduction System with Airflow Control
* Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included)

If you want to buy the best camera, Nikon is the brand you want.
I evaluated the Sony, Canon and Nikon models, and in the end the 60 provide the right blend of megapixels, comfort while shooting, available Vibration Reduction lens combinations, and at a price point under $1000 for body and 2 lens, 18-70 VR and 55-200 VR. I have found these VR lens do indeed add an extra level of forgiveness in your shooting.

In last 30 days, we have taken shots of Vegas sites, the Grand Canyon and of many sites along the Nile in Egypt, daylight and night, and the results are very good even for an amateur such as myself.
Believe me it's the best choice for the money you got. BTW I used it on some weddings too because I'm a photographer

How to upload pictures from 35mm slr camera to computer?

slr camera 35mm image

Claudia C.

I have a fully manual 35mm slr camera and have taken beautiful pictures with it. Is there anyway that I can get those pictures on a disc, memory card, etc. when I go to the store to get my film developed? If so, how do I do that? I want to be able to save them to my computer and post them on various websites.

Answer
Most processors will include your photos on disc if you ask nicely.

Otherwise, it's scanning your prints/negatives individually - possible, but not much fun.

What is the difference between two camera brands?

Anon

I have chosen to take a photo class which has a requirement of either a slr camera or a 35mm camera. I was wondering what the difference between the camera's are and which is a better pick. Also, where can I get one of these camera for a reasonable price.

Answer
An slr camera uses 35mm film. If it's a digital camera you want they start at about $500 for the
Canon t3.

An slr film camera is available from several different companies and they start at about $150.
With film the body isn't so important because they all do the same thing. With a dslr there can be many differences in the body and it is very important.

Also the lens(s) you choose will be important. More so for the film camera but still quite important for the digital camera.

Bottom line: What's your budget? Can you affort $500 for a dslr? Do you want digital or film?
These are all questions you have to answer. Good Luck.

I have the P7000, and it is a pretty sophisticated advanced amateur camera. The good news though is that it has auto modes that allow you as a beginner to start using the camera, then as you advance, switch over to manual modes.

It has tons more features than the P500.

Some of the advanced features (at least for a point & shoot) are:

- Automatic, Video, Program/Aperture/Shutter/Manual exposure modes, and 3 user-defined modes.
- Exposure compensation dial.
- RAW and JPG capability.
- 1/1.7" sensor. While not as large as a DSLR, it is larger than the P500.
- fast f/2.8 lens (although it is a variable lens - up to f/5.6 at the telephoto end).
- Hot shoe - so you can use an external flash.
- You can use filters, such as a circular polarizer with an optional lens-tube attachment.
- Optical viewfinder as well as a LCD screen.
- Can use Nikon's ML-L3 infrared remote.
- Bracketing for Exposure, Color Balance, and Focus.
- Can manually focus the lens.
- Single and continuous shutter (but 1.5 frames per second isn't real fast).

Pretty impressive for a compact camera.

The good news is that although it has a MSRP of $499, you can buy them at Amazon and other places for under $400. Its the best camera in my view for $400.

The bad news; well not so bad. Is that it is being replaced soon with the P7100. This is not so bad news as the camera is only a year old, so this is pretty typical with cameras. But that means the price might even go down a bit, but caveat that with trying to find one in stock after the announcement.

I am hearing the P7100 will be announced in August 2011, and availability sometime next fall.

I also have a DSLR, but the P7000 is my go-to camera when I cannot take the DSLR due to it's size, weight, or if I am going somewhere where it could get damaged.

Easy point and shoot camera similar to canon t2i?

Emily

My aunt was blessed with a Canon t2i for last year's (2011) Christmas gift. And unless I am using it, it sits in her closet unused mainly because she has no idea how to use it. It KILLS me to see such a neglected DSLR, so I offered to buy it from her. The only thing is that if I did, she'd be left w/o a camera completely. So I figure I try to find an easy point and shoot that has the same quality as the t2i? The video accessory would be nice too, I just want to make a fair trade with her so she doesn't feel scammed. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Would like to add that the more basic, the better.

Answer
It is a very nice idea to buy your aunt a replacement camera, but what you do not know, a P&S camera cannot nearly approach the quality of a dSLR because it has a sensor that is much smaller than a dSLR, like 15 times smaller.

That said, look at the Canon G15 or Nikon Coolpix S7700

The Nikon has a slightly longer zoom range and has an articulated LCD screen. Both produce excellent images and may find their way into her hands more often than the nice T2i

Visit a store that sells both camera before you discuss this with your aunt. You should have some enough information to answer any questions she needs.

What is the cheapest way to get a digital SLR camera?

slr camera deals image

Ja

And don't say steal it!
I am a student photographer, and I used a standard canon digital camera, but I wan't something with more optical zoom that can be digital. I already have a canon film slr that my mom used to have, and frankly it is quite old and a hassle to carry around. I decided it might be best if I went ahead and invested in an slr, but i know those are extremely pricey! So, do you know where the best deals are for slr cameras, both on and offline?

Or, if not, do you know what the best slr STYLED digital cameras are that are out there?

Thank you so much!

Answer
Depending on how serious you are into photography and what type of photography you are doing. I would personally recommend a second hand or refurbished digital SLR for starters. I bought mine second hand and paid only 1/4th of the original price.I own Canon EOS 10D,you can see some of my photography on my website.

Then for the lens, the only problem with second hand is to be very very careful. You'll need to check and make sure that the glass has no marks and there is no dust inside, otherwise buy a new lens. Oh as you said you have a canon film slr, if it has autofocus lenses, you can use them with the digital slr so buy a body only and use existing lenses.

Also note that, because the digital slr doesn't have sensor same size as 35mm, so whichever lens you use, you have to multiply it by 1.6 so for example 17mm lens will be converted to approx 27mm on digital slr.

Hope this helps.

P.S. : To start a photography as a student, none of the compact digital or bridge cameras will help, u'll need digital slr (depending on how serious you are as i said). Otherwise yes there are some digital bridge cameras which provides you with almost all features of an SLR but too slow and quality is not same. A canon bridge camera for example is Canon PowerShot G series or Canon PowerShot S2IS.

Which Memory card should I get for my DSLR when recording video?

Rebel Alli

I received a Canon Rebel T4i/650d as a gift and I want to use it mainly for taking video. I want to avoid getting the error "movie recording has stopped automatically" since my friends have encountered it. What SD Card should I buy? What size, how many MBs, what class and does the brand matter? Also could you explain why the error happens? Is it because of the camera's sensor,battery or does it stop recording solely because of the memory card?

Answer
I agree with Jim A about SDHC Class 10 - preferably with a high write speed like the Sandisk Extreme cards. I disagree about using multiple cards. What's the point of splitting your video over 2 smaller cards. If one card fails you've only got 1/2 a video, which is pretty much useless. SD cards do fail, so it's good to have a backup, but I've never had one fail on me yet. If you are that concerned about failure take a hard drive backup device with you.

The difference in cost between 8GB, 16GB and 32GB means I rarely buy less than 16GB these days and usually 32GB. The combination of raw files and video can fill a 16GB card pretty quickly.

For video I wouldn't use a DSLR anyway. A proper camcorder would give you proper power-zoom which no DSLR can do. It would also be less likely to record camera noises such as AF. The AF on camcorders is usually smoother and faster and doesn't hunt as much. DSLRs are really not the best tool for shooting video. Why spend out on a 16 megapixel sensor when 1080p only needs 2MP?

Most DSLRs won't allow you to video for more than 30 minutes without a break whatever card you use. First of all the file systems on the cards are 32bit, so don't allow more than 4GB in a single file. Secondly there seems to be a lot of speculation that there are additional EU import duties if the camera can record more than about 30 minutes in a single go because then it is treated as a video camera. The third thing is keeping a sensor live for that length of time can cause overheat problems. Most top-end DSLRs can cope with that but cheaper ones may restrict maximum record length even further to ensure it's not a problem.

what would a .3 mexapixel camera's photo quality be described as?

0.3 megapixel camera image

Mary

i bought a cell phone with a 0.3 megapixel camera and i'm a little foggy on what that acutally means? so like does that mean the photos are smaller or in bad quality?

Answer
That does mean that the photos will be smaller in size but not necessarily bad quality. You may not be able to print them or use them as computer backgrounds in the present monitors but you can surely use them in mobile phone backgrounds or something similar.

The photograph will depend on the photographer. With proper use, the limits of even such a camera can be stretched.

What is the resolution of the cameras on the DSi?

Benjamin

I have searched the internet, and I have even looked at the other questions posted here. All of the responses are varied. Either someone says that both cameras on the DSi are 0.3 megapixels, or that the one on the front is 3 megapixels and the one inside is 0.3 megapixels. I just want to know which one is correct. Please respond.

Answer
They're both 0.3 megapixels - the photos, if you put them on your PC, are 640x480.

Unfortunately though, I've found out the hard way that the only photos you can have on your SD card for the DSi are ones actually taken by the DSi camera - no other photos will load. So just my two cents worth, but if you haven't got a DSi already, don't get it for the camera.

What recommendation for a digital camera brand and model?

highest megapixel for digital camera image

I would like to buy a digital camera but I'm not sure what to look at. Design is not an important aspect. What I would want is that it can produce a good quality picture and doesn't need much editing. I'm not so sure whether to pick a higher megapixel because some review states that higher doesn't mean better, though I'm not sure why. Could someone give me a guidance in choosing a good digital camera? Thanks. =)

What part of the specs should I be looking for to buy a good digital camera?

John H

ok, so I see many newsapaper ads from Best Buy and Circuit City over digital cameras running around $100.00. I don't get the megapixels thing and zoom. And some have high megapixels but to me the picture quality appears grainy. what i'm looking for is a thin sleek (if possible) camera that has excellent picture quality. Zoom so that I don't have to be so close to take a picture, and long battery life.

Answer
You'd better off with a 5-7 megapixel for a thin/sleek pocket camera. At this point, anything higher than that would be looks grainy/noisy especially in low light condition.

Long battery life means you'll need something with lithium battery.

Zoom... how much zoom do you need? For the usual social thing, 4x optical zoom should be enough.

Anyway. It sounds to me that the Canon Powershot SD1000 will fits you great. It's slim, takes good picture, and it has quite a good battery life. It's more than $100 though, but you get what you're paying for.

how to take a portraits picture with a bright background?

slr camera settings for outdoor portraits image

arun

i have a subject standing in a hall in front of me and his background was a big transparent glass with a bright sunlight outside,i tried a different settings but failed to take a good shot,i used 70-200 4l is usm. can any one suggest me a good setting and tips to make that shot perfect.
i want that sunlight as my subjects background.

Answer
The point is to expose for the sky. and using a SLR 35mm autofocus camera and flash, you can create flattering and dramatic outdoor portraits with ease
Technique:
With the flash turned off and your camera set in manual mode, use the cameraâs internal exposure metering system. Looking through the viewfinder, press the shutter button halfway to illuminate the internal panel. The exposure meter is generally in the center on the bottom as you look through the viewfinder. (-2â¦1â¦0â¦1â¦+2)
To make the adjustments, start by selecting either your f stop or shutter speed. Aim the camera towards the brightest part of the picture, in this case the sky. Using the meter as a guide, adjust your shutter speed and f stop until reading is centered at 0. With the exposure set, turn on your cameraâs flash, stand within a normal flash exposure range (6 â 10 ft.), focus on your subject and shoot.
Your flash will fill in and illuminate your subject nicely. If you desire more or less exposure on your subject, step forward or backwards accordingly. Some flash units can also be adjusted manually to allow shorter or longer bursts. This is also an option.
Very important, â always pay attention to the changing light. The sun going behind a cloud while you are shooting can affect the results of your image. The sky is no longer as bright as when the full sun was exposed so you will need to check your exposure meter again for the change in light.
Last, but certainly not least, be kind to your subject, donât have them facing so they are looking directly into the bright sunlight. They will appreciate it and it will help to avoid squinty, closed looking eyes.

Good luck

I want to take photos that I can post on a website. Should I buy a 5 mega-pixel or 7.2 mega-pixel camera?

sdn90036

Also, if you could recommend a specific digital camera that would be great. Thank you for answering my question.

Answer
Oops, after just spending about 20 minutes composing a more comprehensive answer, I accidentally closed the window. Now I don't have time to repeat everything.

The key points:

- Choose the camera based on the kind of photography you are doing rather than the resolution. Still life, action, available light, portrait, indoor/outdoor, etc. Make a list of the kinds of images you'll do, and take them to a camera store so you can discuss camera features with a knowledgeable clerk. Image stabilization is really important, I've learned. If you are shooting action pics, or need a quick recycle time between shots, be sure to check that feature on each model.

- Higher resolution is always better but if you are very price sensitive, then at least for web use, almost any popular camera that does what you want is going to be adequate.

- I have used the Nikon Coolpix, various Sony, Canon, Kodak, and Fuji cameras. I hated the Nikon, and in general do not care for the "compact" styles of cameras. The digital single lens reflex (SLR) style is best in most cases for anything but recreational use. (In fact, although the Nikon was pretty new and not cheap, I gave it away.)

- I settled recently on the Fuji S700 because of its combination of automatic and manual settings, lens quality and optical zoom (versus digital zoom), and high resolution. The entire kit (bag, accessories, etc.) was about $300 - but it's possible to get the camera much cheaper now. When you get your camera, it may be very smart to get the AC/DC adapter for it (extra charge) and if you need it, an inexpensive tripod. I also recommend getting the package of little film protector sheets that go over the face of the LCD display, and a lens cleaning kit with the drops (not just those papers).

- For only a little more than the cost of the Fuji, Panasonic offers what is probably the very best camera in the mid-priced, multi-feature category. I strongly recommend you check out the Panasonic Lumix FZ8 (the FZ18 is a slighty fancier version but pay attention to price difference). This camera is a combination of outstanding Leica lenses, Olympus operating features, and quality Panasonic electronics and manufacturing. This is probably the best camera for the money in the entire category. I didn't buy it because at the time the Fuji was $100 cheaper and the cash mattered a lot at that moment. I don't really have any regrets, but still ....

Good luck!
