With occasional sports shooting you could get by with a D60 or D3000. The D5000 would be better for sports with the 4 FPS (Frames Per Second) still shooting and it can also record video.
DIGITAL CAMERA WITH WIDE ANGLE LENSE. I HAVE TO TAKE PHOTOS OF BLDGS SOME TIMES THE BLDGS ARE 300FEET LONG. I AM THINKING A WIDE ANGLE LENSE WOULD BE BETTER FOR GETTING AS MUCH OF THE BLDG IN THE PHOTO. IS THAT RIGHT? WHAT CAMERA IS BEST FOR THIS?
A wide angle lens would help by giving you a wider field of view. There will be a little distortion, commonly referred to as " Fisheye". Some lenses will have more of this than others.
The D5000 has many feathers over the D3000. Just a few being: More megapixels...12.3 vs 10.2. Faster frame rate with the D5000 at 4FPS (Frames Per Second). Plus the D5000 can shoot video.
As to the DX on lenses. The DX lens is primarily for smaller DX sensor camera and will cause vignetting (dark areas on edge of picture) on full frame sensor and film SLR cameras.
I have a wide angle lens and a zoom lens for an old Canon AE1. I want to purchase a digital SLR camera. Will these lenses fit any of the Canon Digital SLR models?
Usually older manual lenses are unusable on newer bodies. The D-SLR cameras needed auto focus lenses. Recently there have been some adapters surfacing for use of manual lenses on new bodies. Do a Google search for FD to EF/EOS Adapter.
This camera uses Memory Stick or Memory Stick Pro and was tested up to 1gig. You might be limited on finding much memory. I found a 512mb stick on line for $69. Not very cost effective for much older (release date 2003) 5mp camera. Rather than buy high priced older memory you might want to invest that into a newer camera with cheaper, easier to find memory.
How can I run my video from the camcorder to the computer to freeze frames
I want to run my video to my PC and stop on certain images and then be able to print that frame as a photo. I need to find the correct adapter cord to run from my camera.
You could take a look at the Dazzle from Pinnacle, it comes with the USB capture device and cables. You will need the A/V Cable the came with your camcorder. The software should have the freeze frame capability.

I'm looking for a small digital video camera to take pictures indoors and download to a website. I need it for my personal training. the sony webbie l
the sony webbie looks good, but I've seen some reviews that the flash is really weak and recording time is limited to 20 mintues and the battery is built in and camera has to be plugged in. are those real disadvantage?
If the area you are shooting in is well lit these limitations should not be much of an issue. It might be best to get the MHS-CM1 over the MHS-PM1. The MHS-CM1 has much better optics and a bigger screen that swivels. This will make it easier to set up your shots.

I am in need of a good photo editing program for my Nikon P80 camera. I have heard of Elements, Adobe Photoshop, etc, but don't know what I need for a 'serious amateur' hobbyist.
Photoshop Elements would be best. Most photographers use Photoshop CS. Getting Elements will teach you the basics of photo editing and when your ready for more you can move up to CS and feel right at home.

emailing videos
Can you record then download to a computer & then email a video to other people, for example a 30 to 45 minute video? What type of camera would be best for this type of activity if it is doable? Thanks
A video that is 30-45 minuets long will be a really big file. For it to be of any viewable quality it would be a couple of gigs big. To make a e-mail friendly size the quality would really suffer. You might want to break it up into 5min chunks. There are many software programs, such as Premier Elements, that would make this easy.
