Which should I get; Canon - Powershot 14.7-Megapixel Digital Camera and Canon - EOS Digital Rebel XSi 12.2-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera?

I'm finding the pros and cons for both of them. I have a one year old and I'm pregnant with baby #2, so I do take lots of pictures! We live in a house that doesn't have good lighting at all..if that makes a difference. I would like to take "professional-like" pictures of my kids (so I don't have to get them done at the portrait studio and spend money), but I also want the camera for everyday kind of things. When I say everyday things, I mean like bringing the camera along on Halloween while my kids would be going trick-or-treating for the first time or when they're opening their Christmas presents. I feel like I want the SLR, but do people use SLR cameras for things like that? I think that's where I kind of get indecisive about it. I also want a camera that has fast shutter speed (which they probably both offer).

Staff

First...Congratulations. One of the things about kids...they move pretty fast. Compact cameras sometimes don't. They sometimes have what is referred to as Shutter Lag Time. Compacts are great to just keep handy, for every day type shots, but the type of photos you are describing that you want would be easier to get with a D-SLR. Canon and Nikon both make a great camera however Sony has a Alpha 300 and 350 that have an articulated screen ( it folds out) so you can hold the camera low ...child level..without getting down on the ground yourself. Also in live view the Auto Focus still works. There is built in Super Steady Shot to stabilize the shakiness of the camera, and many other features that are great for parents and what your hoping to do with a camera. Stop by your nearest BestBuy and have a demonstration. Again...Congratulations!

Mini DVD Camcorders? How do you play your movies on your TV?

Staff

Quickest and easiest way is to plug into your TV AUX input connection (usually on the side or front panel) with the A/V (Audio Video) Cables that should have came with your camcorder. They are color coded to match up (Yellow to Yellow, Red to Red, White to White). Then go to the TV and set the INPUT AUX corresponding with the one you connected to with your remote. Press play on the camcorder and you should see the video and hear the audio. You can also connect to a VCR or Stand Alone DvD Burner using the same method and make a copy of the video to play back again later.

what is Burst mode

Staff

Bust mode is multiple photos take in secession to show a series or sequence of motion. For example a golf swing. Burst Mode is very popular in sports photography so as to not miss the action. Almost all cameras have a burst mode (even some compact cameras) but depending on the model may be very slow and limited to some being almost as fast as video. The average for entry level D-SLR is 3 frames per second. Then, depending on the speed of the camera and memory, it may take many seconds to record these images before the camera is ready to take the next set of photos. Some Higher End D-SLR cameras are so fast they will continue the shoot until you take your finger off the shutter release.

Looking for a camcorder with a view finder that provides good pictures. Any recommendation?

Staff

Viewfinders are another option that manufactures are cutting back on to reduce cost. Higher end Professional camcorders will generally have a viewfinder and sometimes a LCD screen. Consumer and Pro-sumer camcorders will most likely not have one. We do have some models with viewfinders available on line at http://www.bestbuybusiness.com/.

Which camera is best for when taking photos with a good lens

I want to take pictures at a sci fi convention next year and want pictures of the actors from the show not the back of people's head
Which camera has the lens I need.

Staff

All most every convention have restrictions on Flash Photography. They almost never allow it. Your “Point and Shoot” type camera will want to use a flash. Using a D-SLR will give you control over the sensitivity of the sensor allowing great shots in low/natural light. Plus the option of adding higher power Optical lenses for better zoom. Most of the cameras such as Sony and Canon have really good noise reduction for higher ISO “Sensitivity “ settings.
Don't be misled by the term “Point and Shoot”....all cameras are Point and Shoot. Be it a Compact...Advanced...or Digital-SLR. ALL cameras can be set to full AUTO. Only D-SLR cameras allow you full control in Manual mode.
There are many models of D-SLR that start at $499 ...not much more cost than a quality compact. Sometimes there are sale bundles that include the 300mm lens. Perfect for event photography.
Check your nearest BestBuy for current sales.

what is a a/v cable

Staff

The A/V cable is a Audio Video cable. Usually associated with camcorders so you can connect to a TV for viewing or a stand alone recorder for dubbing. When in reference to Digital Cameras it allows the image to be displayed on a TV screen after the photo is taken. Some cameras also allow you to use the TV as a live view like monitor.

are there any devises that act as a liason between a hi 8 cam corder and a pc?

i have an older hi8 camcorder and i want to be able to upload the video onto my computer...all i have is a/v outputs on the camera...are there any sort of devises that act as a liason between my camera and my pc?

Staff

This is more a question for the “Camcorders” section...but here goes. What you are looking for is commonly referred to as a “Bridge”. The Dazzle from Pinnacle is a popular option. It has 2 versions. One being just a DvD burning system and one with video editing software and features. Both connect to your USB port and use your A/V (Audio/Video) outputs on the camcorder.

How do i get a disk from the media card go to a kiosk and have a disk made?

I just bought a Sanyo VPCHD100,i hve a 2GB media card,do you do the same with that as you do with a regular digital camera take it to the store and have it transferred onto a disk

Staff

The reviews are pretty good for this Camcorder. Images are usually stored in their own folder on the media. You should be able to take them to any photo print location and have them printed and or transferred to CD normally. You can also transfer the photos to your computer from the camera using the USB connection, and if you have a CD Burner, burn your own disks.

IS THERE A DIGITAL CAMERA THAT ALSO RECORDS

Staff

If the question is”Records” video ...then...yes, there are many digital cameras that record video. Some cameras such as the Sony DSCT700/P record HD video. The list of Still Cameras that also record Video is too long to list here. Stop by your nearest Best Buy and browse around the cameras to find one that best meets your needs.

vista 64 bit o/s compatible question

ok. i'm trying to get into the digital age. just bought an hp desktop computer w/ vista duo core o/s. i want to get an hd camcorder (avchd format) please suggest models. also, will i be able to burn to dvd and play on a regular dvd player hooked to an analog tv.

Staff

There are a lot of Camcorders that record in the AVCHD format. Some starting under $599, depending on what format (Memory, DvD , Hard Drive or combination) you want to record to, what you need the Camcorder to shoot and what features interest you. As to the question of “ will i be able to burn to dvd and play on a regular dvd player hooked to an analog tv”. Yes, once the footage is converted to SD (Standard Definition) and burned as a DvD. You can copy a AVCHD file directly to a DvD and it will play as HD on a Blu-ray player in FULL HD.
