Nikon Digital SLR camera

I want to buy a Nikon Digital SLR camera and is little confused amongst D40, D60, D80 and D90.

This is my first SLR camera although I've been using Digital camera for years. Although I've knowledge of maunual features but haven't used SLR camera's ever.

Can u help me decide the right Digital SLR camera model for me.
Well...the Nikon D40 is the smallest Megapixel in the group at 6.1 mp. The D60 bumps up to 10.2 with the same bit depth (color information). The D80 seems to have less features that the D60 with both having the same Megapixels. The D90 comes in with the best features over all. 12.3 Megapixels, 11-area autofocus , better frame rate at 4.5fps (frames per second) vs the others at 3fps. This is needed if you ever do any sports or action photography (including dance photography). Bigger LCD at 3” and higher pixels at 920,000 vs 230,000 and 2.5” on the others. A MUCH sharper image on the screen. Live View composition and brilliant playback of the D90's cinematic-quality 24-fps HD D-Movie mode. The D90 also uses a CMOS sensor which is more energy efficient than the CCD used in the others. This will give you longer battery life.

Based on the specs... the D90 would be the better choice. As a first time D-SLR buyer you might feel you out grow the D40 pretty fast...the D40x will be a little better but you wont outgrow the D90 for a long time.

Canon Lens

Does Telephoto Lens of Canon Powershot A70 (small digital camera)is compatible with new canon SLR camera. I already have a Canon Powershot A70 and want to buy a new SLR camera.
The “Lens” on the Canon A70 cannot be removed. This is a compact camera and the lens is permanently attached. There are other types of lenses that can be attached to the A70 like wide angel adapters and telephotos but the thread will be to small to mount on a D-SLR camera.

What do you do when Playback doesnt work properly?

I just bought a new camcorder. they play back part has lines that go through the video?? What do i do?
If it is a Tape based camcorder it is more likely a clogged head or in the worst case a broken head. If it is a Hard drive or Flash based it might be faulty firmware corrupting the file. Dvd could be same sort of thing. If it is only on the LCD screen and not the output from the A/V (Audio Video) cables then the screen is faulty. Best thing is to take it to your nearest BestBuy and let the Geek Squad take a look.

Digital SLR-Canon or Nikon

I want to buy a digital SLR camera preferably either Canon or Nikon. I have used digital camera before but this is my first SLR. Can you recommend me a good model which gives good pictures and is value for money.
I shoot with Sony a200 and a700 and very happy with both. I have also used Canon Xt, XTi and 40D. Very good cameras. Several friends have Nikon D40, D70 and D300 and they swear by them. The thing about cameras is the same as cars...everyone thinks the Brand they use is the best. If you don't have money invested in Lenses than you get a fresh start. The 3 leaders seem to be Canon, Nikon and Sony (the new kid in the D-SLR market). I would recommend trying the Canon XS and XSi, Nikon D60 and D80, and Sony a300 and a350. These are entry level cameras priced good for first time D-SLR camera owners and will be great daily shooters. They will also be good backup camera for when you are ready to step up to the Pro series of cameras.
Try taking a memory card with you to your nearest BestBuy and shoot a few photos with the above cameras then view them at home, see which images you like best and what camera feels good in YOUR hand.

which to buy

the canon fs100 flash camcoder. is this better than hard drive recorders. i want to playback on my tv
Hard Drive based camcorders and Flash Drive based are very similar in function and features. The Flash Based just have memory ONLY and you have to either clear the memory or change to an empty stick for long recordings. Most of the Hard Drive based systems now offer the choice of recording to the Flash memory or Hard Drive and some only use the Flash for Photos storage. The Hard Drive camcorders can be a little more expensive over Flash based. Both types have A/V (Audio Video) Outputs to connect to a TV for viewing.

Which camcorders have a remote?

The list of camcorders that come with supplied remote would be a long list. Starting with the Samsung SC-D382. Most of the camcorders list what comes in the box on the first page of the description or under the accessories page.

Do any camcorders record to USB "thumb" or "flash" drives?

I coach high school wrestling and would like to send each kid home with a movie that he could watch after each meet. I don't want to have to spend time transferring data. If I purchased a camcorder that recorded to a removable drive, I could purchase a drive for each athlete and not have to spend too much time transferring files. Please let me know if such a camera / camcorder exists.
Thanks Much!
There are many camcorders that use Flash Drive (SD and SDHC) media to record to. I am not aware of any using a USB Thumb. You could have a SD stick for each child and get a matching card reader for each stick. That would basically be the same as a USB setup...just adding a card reader.

Capture Rate

What's the best camera you offer with the highest possible capture rate for no more than $150?
If you are speaking of Frame Rate, that is the number of frames caught in 1 second of motion, the standard for camcorders is 29.97 fps (frames per second). Some camcorders also offer 24p (progressive) to give more of a feeling of film motion. If you are wanting to do slow motion playback (as seen in Time Warp tv show) you need to capture in 600 fps and higher.
Sometimes there is a confusion between Frame Rate and Shutter Rate. Shutter rate on a camcorder can be adjusted, Frame rate cannot on most camcorders. Changing the Shutter rate on a camcorder will create a “Strobe” like effect because the shutter will vary the amount of time the frame is exposed to an image.

What is the best kind of camcorder under $500.00 for taking ski movies

Light, stability and size of camcorder are all factors. Also, ease of editing movies.
Due to shooting conditions I would lean toward a Memory format camcorder over a Hard Drive or DvD based system. You might encounter some moisture/due and vibration issues that may cause recording problems. The Memory based camcorders will be the smallest, lightest and most reliable in this environment. There are lots of models under $500.
Editing will be pretty much the same as a Hard Drive system.

miniDV

Hi, good evening.

Is JVC GR-D850 a good performer recording in low light?

I want a camcorder for watching OVNIS, i mean for night use. The price must be under $350dlls.

The JVC GR-D850 dont have viewfinder. Is the viewfinder very important?

I dont mind extra features, just want a good performer in night use. Could you recommend a especific model?
The JVC GR-D850 looks to be a pretty good unit. It has a full color low light shooting mode that is automatic. To edit video your computer must have a Firewire (IEEE 1394) port and you will need a Firewire cable and editing software. If you have a standalone DvD Recorder you can copy your tapes to DvD with the A/V (Audio Video) Cables supplied.
You may want to consider one of the new Sony camcorders that have Super NightShot Plus which do very well in low light situation and still shot in full color compared to other models that shoot in green monochromatic. Most of these camcorders use either Memory stick or DvD...or both.
