I am checking into this for you. Will have an answer soon.

The short answer is no. HP still stands behind their products and is only stopping the development, manufacturing and distribution of digital cameras. They are still going to sell cameras with the HP logo on them. They will just be sourced from another manufacturer.

There are many editing software packages we carry. Pinnacle makes a great system with capture hardware included. Adobe makes some of the best editing software available. I use Premiere Pro 2.0. I would suggest you try Premiere Elements 4. It is simpler to use and very affordable for first time editors.

When it comes to action shots the best thing to be is in manual mode with a FAST shutter speed. This will FREEZE the action. To achieve this, the camera should first be set to a HIGH ISO (Film Speed) of 800-1600 making the sensor more light sensitive. This can be found either in the menu settings or a special button on the camera. Next the shutter speed should be at 150 or more (the higher the better). This is what Freezes the action in place. Now looking through the viewfinder there is a meter at the bottom of the viewfinder. Looks like a -2....0....2+ with a little triangle below it. By adjusting your Aperture ( how much light is let in) setting the triangle will go up and down the scale. Try to get it as close to the middle mark as you can and shoot. Games are FAST paced so don’t be disappointed if many shots don’t turn out. The ones you get will be VERY cool and worth the missed shots. Try zooming in and panning (following one player as a target) this is GREAT with action shooting because it blurs the background while keeping the player frozen. Good luck.
