durable, simple digital cam - high quality

i'm looking for a digital camera that is durable / rugged / can take some wear and tear; has zoom; is simple to use and takes high quality pics. We don't need fancy features - point and shoot - but we need DURABLE. I thnk we have burned through 3 cameras this year. Price isn't the main concern - durable, good pictures is!

The Olympus SW series of cameras are Shock and Weather proof. You can see videos of the SW cameras in action here: http://www.getolympus.com/ and available cameras here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...

A family camcorder for first time users that will not frustrate?

We are a young family buying our first camcorder. We would like something that is eassy to use, has a "steady" feature and provides a reliable long lasting hard copy the kids can view in the future. We have a great Dell Studio laptop with vista home premium, roxio, burner and other features. Do any of these features help select the right camcorder for us?

Staff

The Sony DCR-DVD810 is a nifty little camcorder. It can record on DvD..or..Internal 8gig memory..or..Memory Stick Duo/Memory Stick PRO Duo. This way your not limited to just ONE media. You can also edit in camera and burn to DvD only what you want to keep thereby making a permanent hard copy. It also has Sony Super SteadyShot image stabilization and Super NightShot Plus.

I don't have an hd tv but will have one in the future. Can I transfer video from a high definition camcorder to a regular dvd recorder?

Staff

Yes. Using the A/V Cables (Audio Video) that should have been supplied with your camcorder and connect to the A/V Input of a stand alone DvD recorder. The video will be recorded in SD (Standard Definition). You can also use a bridge such as the Dazzle from Pinnacle to capture and create a DvD on a computer that has a DvD burner.

about mini dv camcorder

having problem playing back the recorded inmy camcorder, its making a fast blinking (an arrow up with a dash is blinking) and the scren is blue....

Staff

Is it all tapes causing this or only one? If it is ALL tapes it may be a tape loading error caused by a tray problem. You can try taking the tape out...leave the door open and power off the camera. Then take the battery out (still with the tape door open)...wait about 10-20 seconds. Keeping the door open...put the battery back into the camcorder, turn on the power. You should hear the camcorder make some movement sounds, close the door (again more movement sounds). This is the loading mechanism resetting it self (hopefully). Open the door and now try putting the tape in and loading as usual. If there is still a problem try taking it to your nearest BestBuy and let the Geek Squad take a look.

Who makes a camera smaller than standard width.

I need a camera with a body smaller that three inches wide for 3D photography. Something about 2 inches wide would do, so I can set two cameras side by side and have only 2 inches of separation between the lenses.

Staff

The push for compact cameras lately is for bigger LCD screens (3” or more), this inherently makes the camera bigger to accommodate the screen. One of the smallest cameras I could find with any decent resolution was ORION Ultra Compact 2 inch TFT Screen 1/2.5" CMOS 5 Mega Pixel Digital Camera (DCS-567) with dimensions of 3-1/4" x 2-1/8" x 7/8" . You could try searching for used of re-furbished cameras.

are there any camcorders for left hands.

i have a friend who only has a left hand he does not have a right arm and i am looking for a camcorder for hi

Staff

Camcorders that are a pistol grip style would work well for left handed people. The zoom and start/stop controls are on the back and can be used by either hand. Some models to look at would be the...Aiptek A-HD+, Insignia NS-DCC5HB09, Sanyo VPC-E2BL...Panasonic and some other manufactures have models too.

what is memory for ?

Staff

Some cameras have a small amount of memory built in as a connivance so if you have forgot to put memory in of the memory card is full you can still take some photos. Usually the is a very small amount of memory for just a few photos...10 to 15 pictures. The main memory slot and card is for the removable media. This makes it easier to transfer to computer and take more pictures by having extra sticks/cards with you. If a camera does NOT have any internal memory it will still take a photo but cannot save it. You will see it for just a few seconds on the LCD screen then the picture will disappear never to be seen again.

Sony DCR-DVD610 or Sony DCR-SR45, which one?

I'm from the old school Hi-8 cassettes, and am finally tired with the tapes getting destroyed. Looking to get something that I can transfer to a hard drive for "permanent" storage. The Sony models fit the price, and the specs look real interesting (to an amateur eye like mine). Not sure which way to go. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Staff

DvD based camcorders are a little tricker to edit and archive to computer with. Also the record lengths on DvD camcorders are much shorter. You may be happier with the DCR-SR45 because the hard drive is 30GB..that is a lot of record time...and because it is already hard drive based it will be easer to backup to the computer.

Im looking at the SONY DSLR-A350K 14.2 mp digital SLR camera and was womdering what the zoom translated to in optical. DT 18-70 mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens

should I look for a camera with a 18+ optical zoom, or is the lens better.

Best Answer
Staff

You would have to take 70mm * 1.6 (average sensor size) then divide by 50 ...which is... 112 / 50 = 2.24X factor.
Keep in mind this is OPTICAL ZOOM there is a 1.5 and 2 x DIGITAL ZOOM on the Sony a350 D-SLR cameras (small button on back in the upper right corner). You can also get higher zoom lenses (300mm – 1600mm) or add a teleconverter to smaller lenses. Adding a 2x teleconvertor to a 300mm f/4.6 lens will make it a higher zoom..600mm...but a slower lens...f/9.2. As the zoom is doubled the f stop is cut in half.

do I need to order memory cards for the D90 Nikon that I have ordered?

I ordered the Nicon D90 and the extra lense, now do I need to order separately the memory cards, flashes, tripod or bag?

Staff

The camera does not come with any of these items supplied. The Nikon D90 uses standard Secure Digital (SD) or |Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) memory. This does not have to be special ordered. It is available on shelf at the store. All of the items you mentioned are at most BestBuy stores and generally in stock. If you do not have a local BestBuy then yes, you will also need to order them.
