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.

Battery life in digital cameras?

I have a Kodak EasyShare C340, it's older, about 2 years now, and I'm thinking of buying a new one. I travel a lot, and the one I have now has a terrible battery life. I bought 3 rechargable batteries for it, and two chargers, so I would have one for travel. Even so, I have to recharge the battery so much, it becomes a hassle. I can't go half of a day without having to change the battery. Even if the camera is off, it still loses charge. (?) This takes away from the trip, and I am not able to take pictures as easily. In other words, I really want a camera that has long battery life - I don't take many pictures, but I would like it to last a day. As I said before, I don't keep it on constantly either, and I don't shoot much video - which I know takes up battery charge. I just want a camera that can capture life's moments with me.

Staff

Oddly enough Digital-SLR camera batteries seem to last longer than Compact Camera batteries. I have a charged battery in my Canon 40D that is still fully charged and it has been in the camera for about 5 days now, even after about 20 shots. Compact cameras are a little more power hungry. You may want to check into the Fujifilm FinePix line. Some models boast a 500+ photo battery life.

Okay to sacrifice zoom ability for megapixel count?

I found a compact camera that I like, but it has a lower zoom capability (28-105 mm equivalent) than some of the slightly bigger models I’ve seen (35-210 mm equivalent). Would it be okay to sacrifice high zoom capability if it’s a high meg camera? I’m thinking if the photos are high quality, I could just zoom/crop the photos on my computer.

Staff

That really is a personal preference. Flat answer…Yes you could. By cropping a 10 megapixel photo after enlarging it to 300 (or more) PPI you may…repeat…may get results YOU are happy with. Keep in mind that the sensor on a “point and shoot” camera is only about the size of an eraser head, and is NOT very forgiving when you start enlarging the image. The sensor on a Digital-SLR is bigger than a dime….a lot more data to work with. If the image quality and the zoom are important factor then you may want to look at an entry level Digital-SLR. The Canon Digital Rebel XT or XTi and the Nikon D40 or D40x would be a good place to start.

Is there a fix for this?

I have a Kodak C613. Is there a shade to put on thr LCD Screen. In sunlight you can't see anything, you just hope you are pointing it properly.

Staff

Delkin Devices has several models of universal point and shoot LCD shades. These are fold out covers that help protect the LCD when folded down and block the sun when open.
