DSLR for Videography/Video Journalism and Photography/Photojournalism for me?

Dear Canon Community
I need assistance buying a DSLR camera. I am looking for a DSLR camera that has a headphone jack where I can monitor audio. I am also looking for a DSLR where I fully have manual control over shutter speed, aperture, and ISO during live video recording. I want to be able to adjust and view the changes while I am recording video.
I am looking do video journalism and photojournalism. I want to practice and improve my skills in photography and videography.  I am a beginner and will be a first time user. I have no price point.
Thank you.

I have collected some money want to spend it on a new DSLR camera, which could take my photography business to new heights. In the area where I live and work, customers check out the cameras and quality of the photos before placing the order. So Even I am not sure, which one to buy. There should be a free testing for few days of all the camera before buying one.
I am Shayari and I love Canon.
I am using EOS 600D, 700D.

  • Tightish on budget- need a decent dslr for creative photography and excellent video recording

    hey, I am in my early teens so am on a pretty tight budget I want my camera to last me a good while (so something that won’t get outdated) this means I am willing to pay slightly more. I need a camera for video and photograph- being a budding youtuber/photographer. I was thinking a dslr because I love the ability to change all settings and the control you get (shutter speed etc). So something to deliver excellent quality video and photos. Also, if you personally have instagram, would you mind checking mine out as I wish to get my photography skills up to scratch: benographer_.

  • In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

    Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

  • What MacBook Pro should I go with for music production/some video/ and photography

    Just don't know if I should go with a dual-core or a quad core for my music/video/ and photography. I do know I want
    16gb of ram but the price difference is pretty significant between a dual vs a quad.

    Honestly, from what you described it doesn't appear like you will be running many applications at once (not more than two or three) and you don't have any processor/RAM intensive applications that you'll be using (except maybe photoshop). Honestly, 4 GB of RAM should be plenty. I mean if you add more you'll start to see if a difference if you get to a point when you are using up close to the whole 4 GB, but if you are just going to play a few games, browse, the web, and type in word, 4 will give you more than enough. I have the same feelings on i5 to i7. You may see a difference, but not a HUGE difference in what you are doing. However, you said you were a casual gamer so if you play games often that are very graphic intensive and the performance while you play is very important to you, you may want to think of adding just a little more RAM (maybe not a full 8 GB) and you may also want to spring for the i7.

  • Notebooks that are good for Photography/Photo Editing,Video Editing and latest games.

    I'm a high school student who need to create a portfolio of artwork before graduation. I'm
    planning to become a photographer and filmmaker and I need a notebook for digital photography,
    video production and games (Like GTA IV,The Sims 3 and Crysis). I want to know the top
    notebooks that could handle photography,video Production and games. And I also want to know
    if I should go with a PC or a Macbook?

    My ex just purchased an MSI GT627-218US for $1299 - by all reviews and its specs and EXCELLENT notebook and amazing "bang for your buck".
    I'm probably going to be purchasing one myself in the next few months.
    One problem though:  Best Buy does NOT carry that laptop, or anything else made by MSI.  Probably 3/4 of BB's notebooks are HP.    (I have a very strong dislike for HP computers in terms of build quality.)

  • How to learn video compositing and design for media?

    Hi, I have some concerns about knowledge about digital compositings in After Effects.
    I recently started to do  much more in AE, and I have trouble with lack of knowlegde about this topic. I know how to do some stuff technicaly in AE, but I often got suggestions that I must learn more about motion media design and composition of video scenes, camera movement etc, because I trying to do some commercials for tv-i am volonteer currently. My boss request from me more professional results. So do you have some advices which is the best way to start with all of this, to be more successfull in motion design?
    All sugestions are welcome!!!
    Regards!

    There are lots of books about Visual Effects from lots of authors. Check Amazon.
    Go to Motionographer.com and look at good work. Try and figure out how they did it.
    Subscribe to a site like Total Training or Lynda.com or Video Copilot, or others and work through the tutorials.
    If you don't know how to draw, at least learn to draw stick figures and storyboard ideas, brain storm, talk with your friends, and come up with ideas. Then, try and do them.
    Listen to music, especially instrumental, and try and visualize movement to the music. Timing is as important as composition. Timing to audio is more important than composition.
    Look at great artwork from the masters to pop art. I've learned more about lighting for film and photography from spending time in museums and looking at books on great painters than I did from anything else.
    Mastering the tools isn't nearly as difficult as mastering the technique. The tools change all the time. The technique of good design and effective story telling don't depend on the software.

  • Video Card and PSU upgrade for HP pavilion p6310y?

    Hello,
    I am a mild gamer and I would like to upgrade my video card so I could play games like minecraft and maplestory without my frame rate dropping every 5-10 min.  When this happens it sounds like the fan in my computer is working really hard and the game is almost unplayable.  I also play a few games from steam such as Gmod and Borderlands, however the games that seem less graphic intensive give me more problems. 
    Should I and am I able to upgrade the video card and psu for this HP pavilion p6310y?  or possibly get a better card for these game without upgrading psu?

    Hi,
    Yuo might try updating the video driver from the NVIDIA web site.
    Your PC has a 300 watt power supply.  If you don't need DirectX 11 (used for better detail in newer games), then the NVIDIA GT 240 1GB or 512 MB DDR5 is about tops for a 300 watt power supply.

Will Ineed external hard drive every 5 months?? This can't be I've already resorted to getting rid of unsed applications such as garage band, iTunes,address book ect. I've trashed everything I could. what next ???
    My video files are massive, converting them to a different format doesn't reduce the size of them it just turns them into mp4 or apple pro res ect
    This iMac is for work only so there's no pictures, no music, no conacts, no messenger, no games, nonothing but videos!!

    Have a look at this: http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/

  • Macbook Pro for HD video -memory and external hard drive questions?

    Hi!
    I am a Macbook user, but I plan to purchase a Macbook Pro since I am now doing a lot of HD (not HDV) video editing. I live outside of the U.S. and cannot call the Apple Store, so was wondering if anyone can provide advice on the forum.
    I'm interested in either the 15-inch: 2.53GHz or 15-inch: 2.66GHz. is there a big difference in speed between these?
    -Is the 4GB memory the MBP comes with enough for HD video editing purposes, or would I opt for the 8GB? (here prices becomes a bit of an issue)
    - Is the 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm sufficient or would I upgrade to the 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm [Add $50.00]
    -I want to purchase an external firewire drive to store my media on-does anyone know if the G-Raid 500 would be good? Portability is a big issue for me since I travel very often.
    Thank you all so much for your help!!

    I looked at the 15inch and 17inch but chose the 17inch - and I am a filmmaker. I too travel on location extensively and usually carry a 15inch due to size-weight - but the 17inch is much better for HD. The video card and screen resolution in the 17inch is much better than than the 15inch but what clinched it for me was the 17inch has a CF reader and the 15inch only has a small SD card reader.
    Most video HD cams are shooting straight to CF cards now.
    I also upgraded to the 7200 rpm drive - a wise choice for $50 extra.
    Yes 4G ram will run Final Cut OK - but if you go from FCP to motion a lot then you will need 8G.

  • Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Not via Time Machine.   It cannot back up from a network location.
    The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
    EDIT:  And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port.  Second TC not required.

  • Is Mac book pro useful for Video Editing and VFX Work?

    Hi Apple Team and Final Cut Pro Team,
        I am Video Editor and Motion Graphic Artist. I do a lot of Video Editing work and I have to spend hours sitting in front of my Desktop and this is getting so hectic for me. So I'm thinking of buying a Mac book Pro. But before spending that much bucks, I need to be sure that I'm going for the best option available. below is the configuration I am planning to buy. Kindly suggest me whether this is the best option or not. If not, then Please suggest me your options.
    Configuration:-
    Screen:- 15.4 Inch retina display
    Processor:-  2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache
    Ram:- 16GB of 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory
    Graphic Card:- NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching

    I think a laptop is the best choice of all except when you need more power than you can get in a laptop. Even then "Both" is a great choice. In this instance, this laptop is more powerful than the largest Mac Mini that exists today, a great choice. You can't carry around an iMac or Mac Mini. The Macbook Pro Retina is the best thing out there. Again, except when your needs are greater than it can provide.
    Of course a good laptop can cost as much as a Mac Pro. They are fairly cost effective though when matched to a Mac Mini or iMac, although I did get my mini for under a thousand dollars with everything except monitors and external drive.. That Macbook Pro he's got is about $2,000..
    All a laptop is is a Mac Mini with it's own screen. So you get the best of both worlds, plus portability. Add monitors and mouse and keyboards and touchpad and external drives when you choose, or simply walk or drive away with your computer in your hand anywhere you go.  Try that with a Mini. A great advantage.
    Location stuff.. etc etc etc. Talk about chairs and whatnot, I like to lay in bed on my back with my laptop on my belly. Super relaxing. I too, get tired of sitting in that chair all the time. I don't care how good it is. I'm a truck driver. I know all about sitting for hours on end. It becomes torture.
    Both computers, that's the ticket.
    All of them if we're rich enough.
    $10,000 for a million dollars worth of equipment.
    The price of a good used car. Fantastic machines.
    On a side note, life without eating and drinking and ingesting stimulant drugs is a great life!
    Far and away more better than the stimulants ever could provide!!! Far, far superior. In all ways..

  • What preset MacBook pro would be better for video editing and eventually college?, What preset MacBook pro would be better for video editing and eventually college?

    Hi,
    I am thinking about getting a MacBook Pro.  My current computer is very very old and can not be used.  I would like to use it for video editing and eventually to use when I go to college.  I want to get one of the preset 13 inch MBPs.  I do not know which one will be better for my purposes.  Could anyone please help me??

    Any computer made today, Windows or Mac, will be MILES ahead of what you are now using.
    Raw CPU speed is not the total benchmark of a computer. Look at it this way. A 2.6GHz CPU made today is much faster then a 2.6GHz CPU made just a few years ago, like 3 years ago. the difference between a 2.6 and a 2.9GHz CPU is 3 tens of 1 GHz, 300MHz. The percentage difference is about 8-9 percent (.08-.09). Back when CPUs were listed in MHz, 120, 300, 600, if you have a 300MHz CPU and you replaced it with one that was 300MHz faster that was a Big Jump. You doubled the computing power. Today 300MHz, .3GHz, is next to nothing. Especially for the price jump.
    Note that when you make the switch you will either need to update your program, that means Re-Buying most of them, to work on the Mac OS or install a version of Windows in either a Boot Camp partition, Dual booting the Mac, or into a Virtual Machine software program to run the Windows version of those program.
    If you decide on a Mac buy the BASE model that is offered for the CPU speed you want. The RAM and hard drive can be upgraded by you for much less then what Apple charges for those upgrades. With the hard drive if you upgrade it to a larger and faster drive, Apple supplies 5400RPM drives, like a 7200RPM drive you get to Keep the original drive to use in any way you like. Like an external drive.

  • I am 12 and want a 13 inch Macbook for video editing and stuff I cannot do on my iPad.

    I need a Macbook for video editing and stuff I cannot do on my iPad (flash web browsing, iMovie or Final Cut Pro for YouTube, small games, photoshop, Reaktor 5, etc). I was thinking of buying the MacBook Air 13" refurbished intel core i5 for $999. I can pay up to $1,300 so I was thinking of getting the 13" MacBook Pro with retina display refurbished intel core i5 for $1,260. But then I couldn't buy many accessories or AppleCare. I do not really want to buy the non-retina MacBook Pro because it is not as portable and I am only 12 but I don't know much about how heavy it is because there is no apple store where I live but this is why I came here. So which MacBook should I buy? (I am probably going to wait until the new MacBooks in June 2013)

    Hilary:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Congratulations on your upcoming graduation and the really wonderful gift you anticipate from your parents. Unfortunately, I am unable to give you information about upcoming Apple products or promotions, as I honestly don't know.
    All my purchased music, and games, and videos, etc are on the computer I am currently using. Is there a way to transfer all of it to my new MacBook I will be receiving?
    If the computer you are currently using is a Mac, yes, it can be transferred. One of the difficulties with the new MacBook is that it does not have any firewire ports, which will make networking a bit of a pain, but it can be done. Post back after you have your new computer with specs and we will give you directions on how to do it.
    And are they going to make a new Macbook? So should I wait?
    While I do not have any specific information about upcoming products, it is fairly certain that Apple will be coming out with new products. Of course this is a continuing process so you can be waiting for a long time. I would, personally, go ahead and get one now, and that should certainly see you through college. By then who know what wonderful products will be available!
    Please do post back with further questions or comments, if you have any.

  • How to optimize macbook pro for video editing and 3d animation

    Hello Everybody - I've had a macbook pro for about 5 years now. It works great, havn't had any issues with it yet, but I've started doing more video editing and 3D animation work on it with FCP7 and Blender (usually using photoshop at the same time). Even when I quit all other programs, it's not really able to handle many things I try to do in Blender (for example cloth simulation) and I end up waiting a while with the wheel of death and then having to force quit. I'm not in the position to buy an entirely new macbook pro right now - so I'm wondering if there are any ways I can modify my current macbook to render it more able to handle the heavy processing load?
    Here are its specs:
    Processor - 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory - 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Startup Disk Macintosh HD 320 GB
    Software - Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
    Greatful for any advise, thanks!

    so I'm wondering if there are any ways I can modify my current macbook to render it more able to handle the heavy processing load?
    Honestly, IMO, no. Even if you were to upgrade your HDD to a SSD, and increase your RAM, your CPU and GPU just aren't equipped for the tasks you ask of it (and there is no way to upgrade either your CPU or GPU). It would improve performance to upgrade these parts on your machine, no question, but ultimately, the processors would act as a bottleneck for performance/
    The latest high end 15'' Macbook Pro vs your model:
    The CPU is 7X faster in Geekbench 3 64bit multicore benchmarks
    8X the dedicated VRAM as your GPU
    Almost 2X the RAM speed for compatible DIMMS.
    PCIe storage = 7X the RW speed of your HDD

  • Satellite P10-504 WXP driver for video, modem and SM bus controller

    I have just had to replace the hard disk in my P10-504 and I now have lots of problems!
    1 - I used the retore disks and XP home is installed BUT the video, modem and SM bus controller all all flagged in Control Panel and not having drivers installed! The modem I can live without but I would like the video to work properly and the SM bus controller is also pretty essentil. Guess what, I can't
    a) find my model listed on the Toshiba website and
    b) I can't find drivers for either the video or SM bus controller.
    I have downloaded the 'universal' Nvidia driver but it doesn't work! As for the SM bus controller, I've no idea where to look!
    Any ideas please?
    Thanks
    Tim

    Hi
    Your posting is a little surprise because all XP drivers for your notebook must be available on the Toshiba driver page.
    Did you choose the right notebook series and did you download and install all necessary drivers???
    As first its important to install the chipset utility and depending on installed graphic card
    You have to choose and to install the right display driver!
    Again! The drivers are on the page!
