old 8 mm camcorder how to convert

My sony camcorder died and I want to transfer all the 8mm tapes to a dvd. I have the burner but I need a device that fits the tape so it can go into my vcr to be converted. Does best buy sell this?

Staff

There is no adapter to covert a 8mm tape to VHS (1/2 inch) tape players. The formats are completely incompatible. If you can, get a Digital 8. These camcorders will also play back 8mm and Hi 8 tapes. This would allow you to plug into a stand alone DvD recorder or connect to a computer and capture your footage.

Do they make digial cameras that can be charged with a car charger?

Staff

There are some cameras that charge thru the USB port on the camera and there are some Auto Accessory to USB Adapter. The safest way is with a DC to AC Power Inverter and just plug the camera charger into this. You can find the inverter at your local BestBuy.

what is the best digital camera for sporting event?

I have gone to sporting events and need a camera that can take pictures of action shots. My camera cant zoom in close enough and cant take clear stable pictures.
Can you tell me what camera either slim or dsr would be the best for sporting events?

Staff

Sporting events means fast, ever changing action. The camera you need to get this shot is a D-SLR. The Nikon D40x package would be a good choice. It comes with 2 lenses. One for close up shots and one for getting in close to the action from far away. You can also add more lenses as your needs grow. The D-SLR camera gives you complete control in manual mode and full auto mode, just like a compact (point and shoot) when you want it. You can also change the sensitivity of the sensor (ISO) to freeze the action as it happens. This also helps make more stable pictures. D-SLR cameras are also much faster when you push the shutter button and have rapid shot to catch the full range of motion.

What is the best camera for stop motion action?

I need a camera with the stop motion action feature in it. What is the best one for the lowest price?

Staff

Check out the Canon GL2, it has Interval recording which allows for the capture of time elapsed motion videography (stop motion). The GL2 can be programmed to record at various intervals for varying amounts of time. This referred to as a Pro-sumer grade camcorder. You can find the Canon GL2 at www.BestBuyBusiness.com
Another way to do stop motion is with a Digital Camera. Take one photo per frame movement and edit them together as a sequence in an editing program such as Adobe Premier or Window Movie Maker.

Formatting mini DVDs in a Sony

I bought the Sony DVD308 camcorder and when I first inserted the DVD, I was asked to format it to one of 2 ratios (I can't remember specifically what the 2 choices were, but one was widescreen). How do I know what format to choose? If I choose the widescreen format, can I change it after it's formatted?

Staff

The two choices were Widescreen (16:9) and Standard (4:3). Once you have shot the video in Widescreen it is forever in Widescreen. Played back on a standard set you will either get a tall looking picture or, on some sets, a letterbox effect. You can mix Wide and Standard on one disk by changing the format ratio before recording.

I have a HP Pavvillion dv9000 laptop and was wondering what do i need to connect my memory stick ( sony ) digital camera to save pictures on my laptop

Staff

Depending on the model of camera, you should be able to connect directly to the computer thru the cameras USB connection port. If you do not have the cable for the camera, then stop by you local BestBuy to get the correct cable. Another option is a Multi Card reader that plugs into your computer. Sony uses several different memory sticks so look for a card reader that works with your stick or get a converter for your memory stick.

what is a a good camcorder thats under $500 and produces high quality video

Staff

Camcorder image quality depends on many factors. The Size/Diameter of lens, LUX (Light Sensitivity) Type, Number and Size of Sensor (1/4, 1/3, 1/6, 1CCD, 3CCD, Cmos..ect) and Scan lines of Resolution (480 to 1080). When looking for a good quality image in an inexpensive camcorder, look at the Sensor size and Scan Lines first. Only larger more expensive camcorders will have 3CCD and Bigger Lenses. There are too many good models under $500 to list here. Start with Sony, Canon, Panasonic and JVC. They all make broadcast video equipment and have been in the pro arena for some time.

Can I transfer my videos from a mini DV to a DVD?? If so, how?

Staff

There are two basic ways to do this. The easiest and fastest is to connect to a stand alone DvD Recorder with the A/V (Audio Video) Cable that came with your camcorder. If your camcorder has a S-Video connector, or better yet, a Firewire (IEEE 1394) connection and the DvD Recorder does also you’ll get the best quality with these type of connections. DvD Recorders are reasonably priced now.
The next option is not as easy and takes longer. The footage will have to be captured to a computer and then burned to a DvD. This requires: Software (to edit and burn to the DvD), correct cables and ports (Firewire or USB 2.0), and a DvD Burner in your computer. The footage will be captured in real time (if there is 1 hour of footage it will take 1 hour to capture). Than you have to edit (if any is needed) and then burn the disk. Edit and burning may take another couple of hours.

if i want to load my pic from my camera to my computer what is that cable called?

Staff

Depending on your camera it should use either a USB cable that plugs directly into your camera or a docking station that plugs into the USB port on your computer and your camera connects to the station. If it is USB, then the connector on your camera may be specific to your manufacturer and may have to be ordered from them. Unless you need the cable/station to charge the camera it is better to get a Multi Card Reader. This allows you to upload your photos and not have the camera busy being connected to the computer. The DYNEX Multi Card Reader is one of the fastest I’ve used.

Staff

Contact the manufacture to see if there is anything that can be done. If it is only 2 months old there may be a defect or recall on that model. Only way to know is through the manufacture.
