Why do only certain pictures download?

Unless there is a corruption or bad areas in the memory all photos should download. When you have taken photos and transferred all of them always Re-Format the memory not just Delete pictures. Formating will insure that the images a kept in one continuous file.
Some cameras also allow you to “Lock” photos as an erasure prevention safety. This may be found in the menu area.

What is the MM SLR lens equivalent of a digital 6x optical zoom?

My wife wants an SLR digital camera for taking distant pictures, but I do not think she willl end up using it due to the large lens that she will want to use. 1 gentleman told me that a 300MM SLR lens is the same as a 6x Optical zoon lense on a regular digital camera. Is this correct?
The “X” factor of zoom on camcorders and compact cameras is approximate. The sensor on compact cameras are very small, about the size of a dime. The sensor on D-SLR cameras are much bigger, slightly larger than a nickel. Most lenses are designed off the 35mm film equivalent. The image sensor on most D-SLRs are actually smaller than 35mm, so you would have to take 300mm * 1.6 (average sensor size) then divide by 50, which gives you 480 / 50 = 9.6X factor.
Keep in mind this is OPTICAL ZOOM there is no DIGITAL ZOOM on D-SLR cameras. With doublers and larger lenses she will get sharp beautiful photos from a much longer distance.

Which digital camera?

Today i'm buying my first digital camera but the only problem is : I dont know which one. I did the research on so many and still don't know wich to buy. The price that I can afford is up to 150$.Help woul be appreciated. I'm thinking between Kodak easy share or Samsung.
They both have similar specs for the models under $150. Both start with 3x optical zoom. When looking for a camera it is best to get the most Optical zoom before Digital zoom starts in. As a first Digital Camera either of these should be fine, however you will find yourself wanting more zoom capability.

Question about Dazzle

I was recommended by a Best Buy associate the Dazzle to convert the mini tapes of my camcorder to DVD. According to the instructions & website, I should be able totransfer directly to the DVD & not have to burn it to my computer first. The proble, is that it will only burn to the "hard disk" and keeps telling me that my (new) DVD-R is no good? Any thoughts, I am so frustrated!
There is many things that could cause this error. 1) Make sure you are using the correct type of DvD. Your burner may be either DvD-R or DvD+R, make sure you have the correct disk for that burner. If it is a DvD-R/+R you should be able to use BOTH types of disks. 2) You may be putting the disk in a CD burner not a DvD Burner. The Dazzle must have a DvD Burner present, not just a DvD Player, to work and the disk must be in the DvD Burner. 3) The model of DvD Burner you have installed may not be supported. Check for Dazzle update for latest version. I am not sure if the Dazzle works with DvD Ram. 4) Use a good quality brand of blank DvD. Cheap brands can sometimes have a lot of burning issues.

can i take still phottographs as well as video?

i want to buy a combo digicam as well cam corder so it will help me take both videos and still fotos with one equipment...is there any like that?
Almost all camcorders will take photos. Some will add a still image to the video that lasts about 10 seconds and if the camcorder has a memory card it can store it as an image file. The quality of a camcorder photo is OK but not as good as a photo from an actual digital camera. Also the photo is limited to the video screen resolution.

what the best camera out the right now

i might get a sony cyber shot DSC-T300 but i'm not sure
That is a hard question to answer. There is really not a BEST Camera. All have features that will make one camera more appealing for some than others. It is better to look at the track record of the manufacturing company. Do they have popular models and good customer reviews, innovators of technology or just copy cats, and how often models are returned due to problems and defects. This camera will be YOUR camera. Look for what is BEST for you.

Canon EOS Rebel XTI vs Nikon D60

Both SLR cameras have comparable specs and prices. Which do you recommend? I'm taking a cruise and want to shoot lots of pictures.
Sounds FUN! You may also want to consider the Sony a300 or a350. All 3 brands are very, very good cameras. Each have excellent features. You cant' go wrong with any of them. I shoot with both Canon 40D and Sony a200 (wish I had gotten the a350). Moisture and Spray will be an issue so make sure to get a ND (Neutral Density) Filter to help protect the lens and a camera that is Weather Resistant and or a camera cover such as Camera Armor. Take extra batteries.

I accidently reformated my disk

When I reformated my disk I lost all the vacation pics I had. I did take some new pics. Have I lost all of my pics from the beginning by taking new pictures? Can I retrive my first pics?
I have had this happen more than once. Both accidental erasure and memory errors. Chances are you may be able to recover some of the photos. There is several File Recovery programs available. I use R-Studio. You could take the memory to you nearest BestBuy and have the Geek Squad see what they can recover.

What does card protected mean?

Some Memory cards have a tiny slider along one edge that when set to “Protect” will disable the write function so no photos can be added to the memory. Just slide it to the other position. Some cameras also have this as a menu option to “Write Protect” the memory as a safe guard. Just re-enable the write function.

Shutter Speed

i need to know what camera has the fastest shutter speed that is less than 200 dollars. i dont need a real fancy camera but i am trying to take pictures of my baby and i always seem to miss the shot i am trying to get.
The missed shot is probably due to shutter “Lag” time rather than shutter speed. The Lag time is how much delay there is between when you push the shutter button...the camera checks focus...sets ISO speed...sets Aperture and Shutter...then finally takes the photo. By this time what you wanted to catch has already passed. This is one of the drawbacks to the compact cameras. Unfortunately the more inexpensiveness the camera is the longer this delay is. If you don't want to get involved with the D-SLR cameras I would suggest a Advanced Digital. You will get many of the features and speed of the D-SLR and still be under $350 or so.
