Digital Camera

What digital camera shoots the best video in low light conditions?

I go to bars a lot where they have good bands play. I would like to buy a digital camera, not a camcorder to take video clips. What is the best camera out there? There is usually low light in bars.

You should look for a didital camera that has at least an 800 to1000 ISO rating. These settings are designed for low light situations. Basically, the higher the ISO number, the better the camera (or film) will operate in low light. See the link below for some tips, tricks on getting the best pictures in low-light situations.

Night vision cameras are ok, but they only capture in the Green color spectrum.

Cheers!

A USB flash drive consists of flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.1 or 2.0 interface. This rewritable and removable drive is much smaller than a floppy disk, and are lesser than 30 g (1 oz) in weight. The storage capacity of this drive in the year 2009 can be as large as 256 GB. In some flash drives 1 million write or erase cycles are possible and also have a 10-year data retention cycle.

Let me little more explaining :

Flash memory is a non-volatile computer storage which means that the data can be electrically erased and restored. This technology is also used in memory cards for general storage and transfer of data between computers and other digital devices. It is a specific type of EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) that is erased and programmed in large blocks; in early flash the entire chip had to be erased at once.

Now a days these drives are being used on a very large scale to transfer data between digital devices. But the corruption of these Flash Drives can also lead to a data loss situation. In these situations one has to move towards a data recovery software to recover the lost data. Although there are an ample os software available for data recovery solution but the user must go for the best.

What is my experience?

I have researched a lot on these software in order to recover windows data and found some good names . In my opinion the Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software is a prominent tool to get back the lost data from damaged or corrupted memory sticks. It is capable to restore the lost or accidentally deleted multimedia files, videos, photos, images and also the text files from inaccessible USB Pen drive removable medias.

The stellar phoenix windows data recovery software provides easy recovery of data from all removable media devices. Easily support pen drive in ranging capacities like 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and even higher capacity drives. This software supports easy recovery of entire multimedia and picture files like mpeg, tiff, midi, mp3, wav as well as text files of all the formats.

This data recovery software is safe being a read-only utility also user friendly program to recover files, damaged due to virus infection, hardware or software malfunction or power failure. Memory stick files regaining tool is compatible on windows operating system environment.

Software Features:

A strong program to regain the lost or deleted data from pen drives.

1. Supports all file formats including video files (avi, mp4, mpeg, m4v, asf), audio files (wav, ram, aac, wma, mpa), image files (jpg, tiff, gif, bmp, png), text files (doc, txt, dbt, wpd, wps) etc.

2. Can work with all the big names like Kingston, Sony, Sandisk, IBM, iBall, Super Flash, Super Talent and many others.

3. A user friendly graphical interface and easy-to-use application for all , both novice and experts.

Which Operating Systems Does it Support:

1. Windows 7, Windows VISTA, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000

2. Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows ME

Robin Watson is B-Tech student and is doing research on how does a windows data recovery software works safely to recover windows data either lost or deleted.

Sony Alpha

I want a 2x teleconverter for my Sony Alpha A350, but should i buy the more expensive one?

there are smaller japanese makes which are alot cheaper, but are they as good, im sure the more expensive - £200-300 is much better for clarity and quality, but is there really much difference?
thanks.

As long as the lenses you wan to use with it are compatible. Usually only lenses longer than 200 mm and have apertures wider than f/5.6 will work with such converters. It would be a shame to spend £200-300 for something you cannot use in the end.

The differences between OEM teleconverters and generics will show up in edge sharpness and colour aberrations some of the generic ones can even induce lens flare. There should also be a list of lenses that cannot auto-focus using the teleconverter

Just do your research before you spend a penny and you should end up with what you need

Canon Camcorder Vixia

What do I need to upload video from canon high-def VIXIA hv20 camcorder?

a firewire port on your computer... and a firewire cable. USB will not work. And a video editor that can handle DV and HDV - MovieMaker can't handle HDV unless it is the newest version... iMovieHD can handle HDV since version 5 (current version is 8).

The DV port on the miniDV tape based camcorder is always 4-pin. The firewire port on the Macintosh is always 6-pin. The firewire port on a traditional Windows machine can be either 4-pin or 6-pin... or, it may not have a firewire port at all. Since you didn't tell us what computer you have, it is impossible to know. If your computer does not have a firewire port, hopefully it has an available expansion slot so you can add one. Macs have had a firewire 400 port for about 10 years - standard. The only exception is the MacBook Air.

USB-firewire converter/adapters will not work.

LOTS of hard drive space. Imported HDV will use about 44 gig (yes, gig) of computer hard drive space per hour of imported HDV. It is suggested that a minimum of a 500 gig drive be used just for video project files.

A good CPU for importing, rendering transitions and titles and special effects and exporting to other file types - and rendering out to a DVD is a good idea. My Mac is 3-4 years old. A little slow, but it gets the job done. LOTS of RAM helps a lot.

Founded in August 1937 in Tokyo, Canon is a leading producer of imaging and optical products. With regional offices placed all around the world, Canon has become a global brand, producing quality printers, camcorders, and other products. Canon's development of the VIXIA camcorder line has really demonstrated their power and reputation in the industry. A recent release, the Canon VIXIA HF200 offers a wide range of features that, while costing the customer a bit more, gives way more as well. Look to the HF200 if you want a camcorder that packs more features than it looks like it can hold.

At the top of the feature list is the recording directly to a memory card. Rather than having to link the device up directly to a computer and transfer the video out, like most MiniDV camcorders require, the HF200 allows you to remove the memory card to view the video immediately. No transfers, no re-transfers, and a whole lot of saved time.

Surprisingly, the VIXIA HF200 weighs only 12 ounces flat. While other camcorders that don't quite match up with the HF200's features weigh upwards of two pounds, or 32 ounces, the HF200 keeps itself within a manageable weight. With all of the features it has, this is an excellent weight.

The HF200 records at up to 24Mbps, which is currently the highest recording quality available for any camcorder on the market. The common problem of recording a moving subject was virtually solved when Canon put the 24Mbps quality into the VIXIA HF200.

Canon's VIXIA HF200 takes face detection to a whole new level. While the earliest camcorders that had this detection ability tracked down only a few faces for each shot, the VIXIA HF200 can now fully detect up to 35 faces at once, with up to 9 frames shown at any one time

A Canon exclusive feature, the HF200 has instant auto focus, effectively reducing the time it takes to track into a subject. This is one of the major ways that moving subjects can now be accurately recorded. Changing subject is also extremely easy with this feature, available in Canon's newer camcorders.

The 24p cinema mode makes your video look professional. This cinema mode changes up the recording capture rate to match those used in actual movies. The camcorder can also change up the color so that the classic film look (a bit darker) is achieved.

If you're looking for a camera that offers a wide range of features, the Canon VIXIA HF200 is the way to go. While it is a bit more expensive than you would expect, the extra money you pay gets you the extra features. You can find a Canon VIXIA HF200 for around $600, a small price to pay for an extremely well upgraded set of features.
