How to copy from camera?

I have a JVC GR-DA30U, I was wanting to know how and what i need to copy my tapes to a dvd on my computer. Any advice will be helpful. Thanks
The JVC GR-DA30U is a Mini-DV camcorder and has a i-link (Firewire IEEE1394) connection port on the camera body. If you have a Firewire port on your computer you can capture footage to your computer with editing software or if you have Vista just connecting the camera and turning it on will let Vista know to step you through the capturing process. If you don't have any of these you can get a Dazzle from Pinnacle to capture using A/V (Audio Video) cables then burn a DvD.

what camera does the flash automatically for you

All camera with a built in flash will automatically enable when in auto mode. Some models with a Pop-Up flash will either pop-up or give you an indication that the flash needs to be opened.

i dont know what camera i should get can you help?

Well i need a new video camera i make youtube videos i want a video camera that i can hold with my palm and is fairly small and i want it to have a good battery life. and an sd card slot and doesint need alot of light to make it clear if you know what i mean. and that is good quility and is in the range of 100-200 dollars :) thanks.
There are plenty of Camcorders that work well for YouTube Videos that are in that price range. The pistol grip style camcorders are easy to use palm wise. However part of what you pay for on more expensive camcorders is low light reliability. Inexpensive models are not usually good in low light. Battery life will be about same for all models, averaging around 45mins unless you change to a high capacity battery that might get up to 2hrs.

Nikon Coolpix P80 OR Nikon SLR D40

I've a budget of $500 and want to buy a advanced camera then by current Canon Powershot A70. I'm confused between Nikon Coolpix P80 and Nikon SLR D 40. I know these are 2 different technologies but since I've a low budget, I'm confused whether I should buy low end D40 Nikon SLR or buy advanced digital camera Nikon Coolpix P40.
Both are good cameras and will give you good photos. The difference is the D-SLR will grow with you as you grow as a photographer. An Advanced camera will not. Also the Sensor on a D-SLR is larger and that will give you better clarity, color and light sensitivity. Evan thow the Coolpix P80 is a 10.1 megapixel and the D40 is a 6.1, the image will be noticeably better on the D40. Battery life will be longer on a D-SLR. You have Changeable lenses vs a fixed lens on an Advanced. No Shutter lag time and faster burst mode on a D-SLR. As far as ease of use...ALL D-SLR cameras have a FULL Auto mode that make them a Point-and Shoot.
True that Advanced Cameras have a “Movie Mode”...but consider that this mode is designed for e-mail quality video and may be seldom used.

good mid priced camera

i'm looking for a camera that i can take portraits with. not sure about an advanced or an slr? i don't want to spend $1000's, but i don't want a cheapie either, i have between $250-500 to spend. i also want one that has a QUICK recovery and i don't need video. Help!!! also, what does a 15-66mm lens do?
thanks
Portrait Photography will require a good camera, some lights and or reflectors and maybe some backdrops. Getting an Advanced camera will not give you the control you will want for portrait work. I do portraits with a Sony a200 and get Great results. To start in at entry level D-SLR...look at the:
Sony a300
Canon XS
Nikon D60
They are slightly higher than your budget but you will not regret the choice. Also BestBuy often have these on sale and with special bundles.
A 15-66mm lens is a type of telephoto lens. There should also be a number for f-stop..such as f/4 – 5.6 (or similar). This lens you be better suited for macro work and floral. It could be used for portrait on the long end (50-66). A good portrait lens would be 18-70mm for indoors and a 35-200mm for out doors.

taping football games from press box

i need to tape football games from press box .which recorder would be best suited for this ?
Most of the press boxes I've seen are usually up high and way at the back. This presents some video recording challenges. The main one being distance from the field. Get a camcorder that has the highest Optical Zoom. A high digital zoom will give you a unwanted “Jaggy” look and no detail. The Canon FS11 would be a good choice with its 37x Optical Zoom. It is available online only. You can read more about by following this link: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...

Do i need a special program or cable?

How can i download a home video from my Sonny DVD Camcorder to my computer?
DvD Camcorders are tricky to edit with. The theory being since it is already a DvD that you go directly from camera to player and watch on TV. If a DvD camcorder has a USB port it is usually for exporting the photos from the memory. One way to get the video on your computer is with DvD Ripping software. There are many programs for this. Some are easy to use but generally they are complicated and take a long time to convert the footage. The easiest way is to get a Dazzle from Pinnacle to capture the footage on a computer. It connects by USB and gives you a Audio Video input to patch your camera into so you can record the footage.

Are some cameras not compatible with all computers

Some cameras when connected directly to a computer with a USB cable might have some compatibility issues. Differences in operating systems (Vista, XP, Win2000, Mac OS) may require patches or updates.
A multi card reader would pretty much take of this and free up the camera. As for the image file itself, almost all cameras now use standard J-Peg format for storage that is readable on all computer systems.

good nighttime pics

I am looking for a digital camers that take good outdoor pictures at nighttime? Any recomendations?
Most cameras will want to use a flash for night time shooting because of the Auto setup in Compact Cameras. Digital-SLR cameras give you the most control in night time and low light shooting conditions. With the ability to add faster lenses (lets more light in), increasing the ISO (Sensitivity of the sensor) and Manual Shutter control (how long you can keep the Shutter open) night shooting becomes easy and fun. You don't have to have a fast lens for night shooting....just increasing the ISO and Shutter length will get really good results too. Google “Low Light Photography” to get tips on this kind of photography.

After recording in AVCHD can I make a SD video?

I purchased a Sony HDR-SR11 Handycam and the Sony VRD-MC5 DVD recorder. I need to get my DVD's to a lower quality until I can buy a DVD player that is AVCHD compatible. Is this possible?
From what I can tell....yes. The Sony VRD-MC5 DVD can copy to DvD from ANY source. Just connect using the A/V (Audio Video) cables to copy in SD (Standard Definition) from an HD (High Definition) source. If you use a AVCHD video from a Memory Stick in the built in card reader it will just copy the file to a Disk that will play in HD on a Blu-Ray player. This will most likely happen when you connect using the USB cable too. When you connect using the A/V connections the video would be dropped down to SD.
