SDHC CARD

Must be for newer models??
Won't work on mine.
SD and SDHC may look like the same card but the SDHC is a fat32 format to use capacities above 2 gigabytes. SD readers and cameras that are SD only cannot use SDHC...but cameras that are SDHC can use both SD and SDHC. There were some compatibility issues with earlier versions of SDHC SD2.0 not working with certain brands of SDHC sticks. This can sometimes be fixed with a firmware update for the camera. Check your owners manual for the camera. If it a SDHC compatible camera then go to the manufactures site and look under support>downloads for any updates and follow the instructions. It is usually very simple to update the camera.

whick camera is best sony h10 or Fujifilm S2000?

Tough choice. The Sony has the better lens, Carl Zeiss Lens, Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery, Face Detection-2 ...but is only 8MP. The Fuji is 10MP and as the better zoom at 15x...but uses AA batteries. The Sony has more Manual Controls and more features....I'd lean towards the Sony.

High Quality Audio

I have professional audio recording equipment (pro tools) that I would like to sync recording with a camcorder. Is this possible and with which cameras?
If your looking to edit A roll video with B roll audio...this can be done in an editing program. Depending on the length of the project there might be a little drift over a long run of continuous footage, after 15minutes or so. This is due to variations in Frame Rate. Standard video is at 29.97fps with an option of either 32k or 48k audio recording on semi-pro camcorders. Most stand alone Audio Capture devices give you more options for kilohertz, anywhere from 12k to 48k (or more). If you record the audio in HQ you may have to change the hertz and still slightly adjust it during editing to keep in sync. When I'm working with B roll audio I usually record a little Nat Background Sound to use as a mask when I separate the audio track to re-sync. This helps fill in the hole that the edit makes. I just use the Nat Sound to fill in the silence.
If your Camcorder and Audio Recorder both have Time Code...syncing is much easier, but the Hertz must still match.

Which camera is best for taking action volleyball shots?

I have a Nikon camera D40 that I purchased at Costco. It doesnt seem to be fast enough to catch the action without blurring the picture. What can I do? Should I get a faster camera or am I doing something wrong?
Good Sports photography is a matter of Light and Shutter Speed and how fast the Burst mode of a camera is. The D40 is a good camera but at only 6.1 megapixels you will loose a lot in cropping. But lets address getting better photos with what you have first.
You need to be in Manual Mode.
Set the ISO on the camera to 800. Yes, this is high. Yes, it will give you a slightly grainy image, but it will remove the blur from having a too slow shutter speed. What is happening now is your shutter is staying open a long time to allow a lot of light to hit the sensor. When the ISO is set high it needs less light so the shutter can be set fast to “Freeze” the action.
Next set the Aperture to around 9 or 10. This is how much light is let in. The smaller the number (4 or less) the more light that is let in and the faster the shutter can be. The larger the number (22 or more) the less light and the shutter has to stay open longer. That is why a Lens with a small Aperture number, say 1.2 or 2.8 is called a “Fast Lens”, because you can use Higher Shutter speeds. This also affects the Depth of Field (DOF). When the Aperture number is low and the Shutter high, only things close to the camera will be in focus and thing will get progressively blurry the farther away they get.
With these 2 things set you now adjust the Shutter speed until the meter (you see it in the bottom of the view finder when you look through the eyepiece) is at the center position. Now you have the right exposure. Your now ready to start shooting. You may have to constantly adjust the Shutter while following the action.
There will be cropping. A higher megapixel camera would be better at this point. When you have a 6mp image and you crop out half you are left with only a 3mp image. Not much left. The higher megapixel you start with the better.
Quick note about “Burst Mode”. This is where the more expensive cameras come into play. Burst mode on the D40 is only 2.5 frames per second and it take several seconds to write the information and clear the buffer before you can start shooting again. The D90 shoots at 4.5fps and clears the buffer much faster. Higher end cameras are around 6fps and keep shooting as long as you keep the shutter button pushed.
And lastly a 300mm lens of any speed is desirable to zoom in on the action. Fast lens are very expensive but worth it in the long run. The faster the lens the lower you can keep the ISO and have sharper images with less or no grain (Noise).
Hope this helps....good luck.

Which camera has a GPS built in it?

Most of the cameras on the market today that do Geotagging are GPS capable and need the GPS unit to do the Geotagging. Some GPS hand held units will do this and there are some units that are just taggers like the GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr™ for Digital Cameras. I'm not aware of any cameras that have built in GPS yet.

What is the best camera for sports action photos?

I need a camera to capture my kids sports photos. I want to be able to get close ups from the stands. Also, are there ones that take still and video? I am new at the photography thing. I have a budget of up to $800.
The Best camera for Sports Action Photography is a D-SLR. The Nikon D90 with a 300mm zoom lens will take spectacular shots and can record video at 24p, but is well over the $800 budget. Very few D-SLR cameras have video capability. There are a lot to choose from that will be good for sports photography such as the Canon XS, Nikon D60 and Sony a300 to name a few. These would be great starter cameras, work well for sports and priced right to still allow you to add the 300mm lens for shooting from the stands.

Whats wrong with my Pro Duo?

I have a sony camera and I used the cable to download my pics to my computer. I didnt delete any pics from the card but now when I try to review my pics on my camera it says "no file" and acts like there isnt any pics on it. but then when i hook up my camera to the computer again they are all there. So my pics are still on the card but not showing up on the camera. this has happened to 3 of my cameras? how do i fix this and prevent it from happening again?
This has happened on several Sony cameras I have seen. Seems that when the camera is connected to a computer and used as a external storage device that the directory on the memory stick gets messed up and the camera cannot read the directory, subdirectory and folders anymore. The computer still sees them because it is looking at the cameras as a mass storage unit. This does happen more commonly when the names of the photos are changed on the memory stick while the camera is connected. Using a multi card reader seems to read the stick without corrupting the file system but if the names are changed on the stick the camera will not see them anymore.

What is the difference in digital and SLR?

The Digital uses a Sensor to basically scan a image delivered by the lens into digital components and stores this image on a removable media. The sensor is usually a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) or CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) and sets in the same area as the Film in a traditional camera. The sensor on compact and advanced digital cameras are about the size of a Dime. Sensors on a D-SLR come in twos sizes. Slightly larger than a nickel and the full size sensor (35mm film size).
Compact cameras have a LCD Screen that is used in place of a view finder (eyepiece) to compose the shot. This does not give a good representation of the final image. SLR (Single Lens Reflex) cameras allow the photographer to “See Through the Lens” via Eyepiece to compose a better shot. The image comes though the lens (TTL) and it reflected by a pentaprism or penta-mirror to the eyepiece. When the Shutter release button is pushed the Reflex Mirror (or Prism) flip out of the way and allows the image to be exposed to the sensor (or film).
