I need camera & camcorder advice.

I am looking for a camcorder or camera with video capability for under $300.
I have been researching to the best of my ability, but there are so many options on the market.
Must haves:
- rechargeable battery.
- great sound
- vivid picture/video during day and night.

Hello ibelievemoon,
There's a lot of choices out there and I've recently found that it's easier to find a camera first that includes video capabilities. Since your looking for a camcorder able to deliver stills, the first camcorder that comes to mind is the GoPro HERO3 HD Camcorder. I'm currently enrolled in school studying video production. One of the cameras our program is looking to purchase and add to their inventory is the GoPro for its convenience in handling and versatility. When you have a moment, check it out by clicking here.
Come on back and let me know what you think.

Need help finding a camera/camcorder

I'm wanting a digital camera/camcorder that I can use the camcorder portion and when I play it back on my computer, I want to be able to pull still shots from the footage. Is this a matter of just having the right software or is there a make/model of electronics I should be looking for?

That's a software thing. I BELIEVE some Canon DSLRs have an additional feature of taking high-res stills while recording HD video when you press the shutter button.
However, there's no way to retroactively pull high-res photos from previously recorded footage, so your stills will be limited to a shade under 2 megapixels (1920x1080) for a 1080p camcorder.

Looking for a camera/camcorder to record presentations

I'm looking for a camera or camcorder that I can use to record a full day of presentations for my organization. The digital camera I have now can only record 10 minutes of video.
Any and all suggestions would be most appreciated!

If you are going to record video all day, you really need a camcorder. In an ideal world, you would also have someone to run it for you. But, in case you can't, choose one that has a remote control (Sony's PJ650, for example) to allow you to start/stop and zoom. It has 32gb on board, and offers a SDXC card slot to accommodate up to a 1tb memory card.

Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split i have a new laptop and now it keeps asking for the old ID or it'll erase my apps bought on theold account.

Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
It depends on how amicable the split is...

Need a help / advice & guidance whether to switch on my Career in SAP-PM from core industries after spending my 09 years of experience in Core field that to in Maintenance.

Hello Adviser /expert,
Need a help / advice & guidance whether to switch on my Career in SAP-PM from core industries after spending my 09 years of experience in Core field that to in Maintenance.
As now i m thinking to do SAP-PM certified course from authorized SAP partner in India that to Pune.
So any one can suggest authorized SAP partner in India that to Pune.
My introduction (About myself): - I had done my Diploma in Mechanical and had total 09 years of experience in Mechanical Maintenance field that to in different manufacturing company such as Steel, Auto Ancillary & Cotton plant.
Whether its right decision to change my career from Core sector to SAP-PM..??
Is there very good scope in SAP-Pm for me after 09 years of Core Maintenance field..???
Guide me
Warm Regard
Ravin

Ravindra,
SAP PM is very niche Module, very in demand module, at the same time, being niche, getting into it and getting 1 implementation is also difficult.
your decision of joining SAP authorized training is the best option, as a certified consultant, you have more chances to get a break as fresher and you can continue working on it, else it would waste of your intellectual energy.
you just search sap.com training or email them or chat with them, they will give u the training center details,
but very less training classes are available. Try you will get lucky soon

Camera / Camcorder stopped working

Hi,
I don't know if this was a one-off bug or maybe a problem in the making. But I went to the Verizon store at 8am Thursday 7/15 and got the Droid-X. By 3pm Saturday 9/17 the camera / camcorder just stopped working. Black screen. No button functionality. Did a battery removal "reboot" and also a hard factory reset. Didn't fix it.
My replacement Droid came 7/22 and it seems fine now. Sad news was - on my very first trip to Philadelphia - I had no camera / camcorder on the phone to document my trip. Oh well. Guess that means I have to make a return trip

B33's answers do make alot of sense, but I'd like to add a possibility if I could. You may try running in safe mode, and see if your cameras and recorder works then... if so, then the culprit messing up your vid cam and sound recorder is one of your 3rd party apps. Safe mode disables these for diagnostic purposes. Worth a shot...

Need an expert advice in Implementing continuous delivery across environments

Hi All,
I need an expert advice/solution in implementing continuous delivery in our project. (PF Screenshot)
Deployment goes like this..
Dev checks in -> TFS Builds - > RM Invokes -> using PS/DSC -> Copies the binaries to DIT environemnt's IIS virtual dir -> Manual replacement of Web.config files (since we have many environments)- > App runs
PS/DSC does following things : Copies binaries using X copy , Uploads SP excel reports , Executing Dacpac scripts etc ..
Now the chanllenge earlier faced was wrt Web.Config files was, for every DIT environment many configurations, conn strings would change. In order to overcome this , Implemented Web.config transformations( like Web.DIT1.Config .... Web.DIT6.config in my solution
explorer.
Added a custom MSBuild script in my .csproj file and before triggerig the build defination I 'd change in Process tab- > Basic - > Configuration = DIT1 (based on requirement) and triggers . )
It perfectly deploys to the DIT 1 without manually replacing WEb.config files.
1) Now the blocker for me, Can we achieve this without Web.config transformations ? Since I don't want to expose the sensitive date in config files is there any way to implementing the same ?
2) I wanted to have continuous deployments from DIT to SIT and from SIT to UAT etc , How can we achevive the same ?
I m planning to implement the same with web.config tokenizing in RM?
Looking for some expert advice in achieving the same?
Many Thanks ,
Abraham Dhanyaraj

HI Abraham,
Instead of having web config transformations to set config values for each environment do the following.
1. Have one transformation config say for example web.release.config which will contain tokens understood by RM (starting and ending with double underscore) for each config value.
<log4net>
<appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
<file value="__log4netLogFile__" xdt:Transform="Replace" />
</appender>
</log4net>
<ClientsSection>
<Clients xdt:Transform="Replace">
<add Id="__ClientId1__" Secret="__SecretCode1__" RedirectUrl="__RedirectUrl1__"></add>
<add Id="__ClientId2__" Secret="__SecretCode2__" RedirectUrl="__RedirectUrl2__"></add>
</Clients>
</ClientsSection>
<appSettings xdt:Transform="Replace">
<add key="MinCaps" value="2" />
<add key="MinSymbols" value="1" />
<add key="MinNumerics" value="1" />
<add key="MinLength" value="6" />
<add key="MaxLength" value="" />
<add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
<add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
<add key="PreserveLoginUrl" value="true" />
<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="WebPortalName" value="__WebPortalName__" />
<add key="TimeZoneFrom" value="Pacific Standard Time"/>
<add key="TimeZoneTo" value="Mountain Standard Time"/>
</appSettings>
The TFS builds can generate output with above formatted configs with web config transformation.
2. Then in RM server templates change the config files to have values depending on the environment. You can do this using a custom deployment component or default xcopy deployment component to set parameters.
3. Then in the release template set the config values.
Cheers!

Eek! My cover is blown... Camcorder advice needed...

Please excuse the bizzarre Thread Title, but i think it sums up my situation perfectly. Basically, i've been using iMovie and iDVD to make some gorgeous home movies reently, and everyone's been doing the usual "Wow! How did you do that?" sort of thing. That's the joy of iLife I suppose- you get high-quality results from next to near no effort.
But now i've been asked to help shoot a 45 minute mini-film for a (prestigious) local drama group, who really liked all of my iMovie projects. Trouble is, i've only got a tiny little Panasonic 3CCD Camcorder, and...well, i think i'm expected to bring something that resembles more of a bazooka than this meagre little thing. They're after 'high-quality'- video, and i'm not sure if i can provide. Shooting iMovie home-movies is one thing, but this...
So I really need advice on getting the most out of my camera and getting my 'film' to look as good as expected. I've thought about the idea of buying a 'wide-conversion lens' but i've got no idea whether it'll give me nice widescreen shots or just fuzz up the quality. And as for lighting- any hints? All of my projects have been outdoors where they look great, but i'm meant to shoot indoors for this. In the dark.
I've also thought of upgrading to FCE, as i could do with some more 'pro'-like abilities, but I won't have forever to learn how to use it.
Basically I'm just an iMovie user who's been mistaken for Steven Speilberg and has just been given a $60m make-or-break contract. What am i to do?
(Please forgive the melodrama in this post, i'm just getting into character)

Oh, and just for the record, the camcroder serial number is NV-GS140

1. As mentioned before, DO go to see them rehearse, so that you know what they'll be doing, and note down specially interesting or tricky moments which might be difficult to shoot - e.g; two people at opposite ends of wherever they're performing; where should you put the camera to make sure they're both in shot? ..or would it be better to use two cameras ..one to capture each of them? ..etc.
2. You say you have several mics, but several mics at several positions will capture different audio, and it looks awful onscreen afterwards if the sound cuts at the same moment as every camera cut: the audio needs to be consistent even while the picture cuts from one shot to another. So think - and experiment - where would be the best place to put your main mic to get proper coverage of all the sound..? (..or attach a cheap radio mic to each person..) and then record that master audio from your main mic into one 'master' camera which you keep running all the time, or into a reliable audio recorder whose speed won't drift ..e.g; a mini-disc recorder. See 8 below.
3. As suggested by Karsten and Matt, get hold of a few other camcorders for close-ups, long shots, etc, and keep one 'master' camcorder running. But make sure that those other cameras can shoot OK in indoor light. Don't forget to set the White Balance correctly on all cameras, so that if you're shooting by indoor (electric) light you have the camera(s) set up to 'light-bulb' white-balance, NOT 'sun' or 'cloudy' setting, or everything will come out blue!
4. Your 3-chip Panny should be excellent for low light, and has a superb lens. But do get used to handling it, and setting it up, for low light indoors: shutter speed of a fiftieth or a twenty-fifth; maybe turn the gain up a couple of notches (if it has a Gain or AE Shift control); put it on a tripod, or other steadying device, and turn the SIS image stabilisation OFF (for a sharper picture) and use only the optical zoom (NOT the super-magnifying blurry digital zoom); plug an external mic into the mic socket, and put headphones in the headphone socket to be SURE of what the sound is like, and that you're not picking up motor noise from the camera.
5. If it's a play on a stage, you'll have limited freedom to put cameras just anywhere, so watch the rehearsals (see 1 above) to choose your camera placement. If it's being 'staged' specially for you to shoot as a movie, you can put cameras anywhere, and you can ask the actors to repeat scenes (..but don't get on their nerves!..) so that you can shoot the same scene from different positions, for close-ups, etc. Handheld looks dreadful when it's seen afterwards on a big screen, unless you have very steady hands, or unless the onscreen character is going through some emotional turbulence, so keep the camera very steady, on a tripod or (easier to carry around and manipulate) a monopod. If it's being 'staged' specially for you to shoot, ensure that the lighting is consistent ..so that if actor A has light on the right of their face, try to keep it that way: audiences will get confused if the lighting changes from one side of the face to the other (..has s/he crossed the room? ..turned to face the other way..? ..turned through 180 degrees?..)
6. Don't get over-ambitious. Don't try to be overly 'smart'. They'll be very pleased to see 'their' production on tape, or onscreen. They probably don't want to see an 'arty' version of what they've been doing, with twisted camera angles, excruciating close-ups, complex tracking shots (..no offence to "Rope"!..) ..As long as it's easy on the eye and everyone's visible, and everyone can be heard, and the picture doesn't wobble, they'll probably be perfectly happy! So don't get worried.
7. Don't go over the top with fancy effects, so that the effects detract from the story: it may be a brilliant shot to you, but they're more interested in the story being comprehensible, not the fact that you had to hang upside down by your ankle to get the shot, or that you had to merge three different transitions in iMovie to get that hazy ripple-dissolve. Don't 'show off' ..they won't like it or appreciate it.
8. The sound is even more important than the picture! If the picture's a little dim, it doesn't matter too much, as long as everyone can be heard (like listening to the radio) ..but if the sound's inaudible it'll be awful (like watching TV but with the sound turned off) and it just won't make sense. This can't be stressed too much: make sure your mic(s) pick up all the sound c-l-e-a-r-l-y and consistently ..and don't rely on the built-in mic on any camera.
9. Use a long-running, large-capacity battery - or get several normal batteries. Do NOT just rely on the one battery which came with the camera: it will NOT last long enough. Check and see if the camera loses its settings if you remove and swap the battery, as it might change back to automatic shutter speed when you swap batteries, and thus you may lose your low-light settings. DO splash out on a high-capacity battery or several extra ones which you keep fully charged! If you're keeping a 'master camera' running for a consistent 'overall shot', keep that camera plugged into the mains if possible (..and if running off the mains, use headphones to check that it's not recording any 'mains hum').
10. Be confident. If you appear to know what you're doing, they'll be happy to do what you ask. If you seem unsure, or vague, or don't know if your equipment's working, they'll get frustrated and they'll give poor performances ..then everyone will be upset! ..Be friendly, confident, but not bossy.
In the end, it's only a movie..!
11. Oh; you asked about a wide-angle lens; yes: get a wide-angle ..but try several in a shop before you choose one. Some may cut off the extreme corners of the picture, but that may not be noticeable in the viewfinder, as the viewfinder may NOT show the whole picture! [Shoot something, accurately, with the camera's normal lens at its widest angle, getting in shot, say, a room from exactly the door frame to a window frame, or having two other identifiable markers at the extreme edges of the shot. Import that clip into iMovie, and see if what's onscreen in iMovie is exactly what you shot ..or if iMovie shows more than your viewfinder showed! ..That way you'll know if you can rely on your finder to see to the edges of your shot. The very, extreme edges probably won't show on a normal TV, as the extreme margins are normally lost anyway, but you want to be sure that an add-on wide-angle will NOT crop the corners off your picture.]
Some designs of wide-angle do NOT let you zoom to the full extent (..the picture may go out of focus..) so always try before you buy. You want a .5x or x4.5 wide-angle for it to be worthwhile. Sony wide-angles are very expensive, and often don't give more than x.7 (about a third) extra width. Other makes, e.g; Hama, may give 50% extra width (.5x) but may give a slightly fuzzy view. Spend half a day at Tottenham Court Road and New Oxford Street in London - if you're anywhere near there - to try every wide-angle in every shop ..otherwise try every wide-angle in Jessops, Dixons and every other camera shop in town. Keene Electronics sell a huge variety of w/a lenses, but you can't try before you buy!
Some w/a lenses give a curved-edge 'semi-fisheye' effect, but a few do keep vertical lines vertical. You probably want as little as possible 'fisheye' effect, so that the audience can concentrate on the action, not on the peculiar curved look.. DO check that you can zoom (..i.e; choose your degree of closeness..) thro' your chosen w/a, otherwise you'll be limited as to where you can put the camera. Be careful that a w/a lens doesn't 'see' an external mic fixed on top of the camera!
Er, tha-tha-that's all, folks!

Camcorder advice needed

I am planning to purchase a new camcorder soon. Unlike my previous recorders, I want this one to be compatible with my iMac for editing purposes (deleting video scenes and adding music) followed by the burning of DVDs. I have a lengthy list of camcorders which are supposedly compatible from the "iMovie '08: Camcorder Support" bulletin. I have purchased iLife '08 (but haven't received it yet) which I presume contains iMovie '08 to upgrade from my present iMovie HD v 6.0.3. I assume that iMovie '08 is what I will use for editing purposes. I have decided that High Definition is not worth it for me since I want to archive my videos on DVDs for TV viewing. My understanding is that there is no simple or inexpensive way for me to burn any HD media with my present configuration. However, I do want to get a HDD recorder so that I don't have to bother with tapes or mini DVDs as I have in the past. I thought that the SD (standard definition) camcorders required firewire cable for connecting between the camcorder and the iMac however I see a note on the Camcorder Support bulletin which says "If your compatible device has both a USB and FireWire port, you will only need to use the USB port to work with iMovie '08". So am I correct in my conclusion to get a SD rather than HD camcorder for my purposes with USB connection to my iMac and that the HDD will not be problematic? Also if anyone can recommend a camcorder(s) for my purposes, I would appreciate that info as well. Thanks.

Hi
As I see it You aim to one goal and look the other way.
iMovie'08 & 09 are very different to iMovie 1 to HD 6 - a compleatly different tool.
iM'08 & 09 aim for - web/net publications - not good for DVDs (discards every second line
resulting in a quality equal to VHS VCR tapes)
iM 1 to HD6 - are for DVDs and full quality SD-video
If You want DVDs to Your TV and SD-video then You should use an editor made for this
eg. iMovie HD 6, FinalCut Express or Pro
And if Your movies are meant to be a time document - only storage that are secure
(what that will mean ?) are on tapes.
So if DVD and family memoires - then a miniDV tape Camera and iMovie HD 6 or FCE.
If short speed demanding clips to be sent to the web - iMovie'08 & 09 are the proper tools.
Yours Bengt W

Best camera/camcorder for a concert?

Hi, I'm going to a concert in a month and I really want a camera or camcorder that is less than $300 and can provide good video, I'm not so much looking for good pictures I just want good video quality and sound. Also nothing professional or bulky, just something I can easily but in my bag. Any advice on what cameras are good for this? I'm looking more for a digital camera than a camcorder. I'm thinking maybe the canon powershot ELPH 300 HS or 110 HS? But any other cameras I'm more than willing to look into. Thanks so much!!

Hi Michelle_15,
With your budget you will need to stick with Point-and-Shoot cameras, and it sounds like you want something relatively small anyway. Both models you listed should do an adequate job of capturing video of this concert, but keep in mind no Point-and-Shoot camera will do a great job of video capture in dark environments like concerts.
Thanks,

Need camera with decent audio

I need a video camera for a limited private purpose--i need to video tape my guitar lessons. That way i can learn a lot more and forget less.
I got a little RCA Small Wonder which seemed perfect for what i need, it takes adequate quality videos, it fits in your pocket, and i tried it out the other night, the video was just what i need. But the audio is very bad, much of it has a lot of distortionm hard to listen to. I can't think of any way to make the audio better. It sounded like it was too close to the speaker, but it was about as far a way from the speaker as it could get in that room, several feet, and the volume being played through the speaker was not very loud.
I was looking at some cameras on the web but wasn't finding much about audio quality. I would like to get something not expensive, for this limited use, but i'll spend what i have to. I don't know anything about video cameras and don't know what i'm looking for though.
i dont' suppose there's any way of getting better sound out of the little RCA camcorde?

Da Nam wrote:> Just experiment with the distance from your guitar to find the best audio reproduction (too close and you'll get distorttion - too far away and you'll pick up extraneous sounds - you can always frame the shot with the zoom on the camera - I'd advise the use of a cheap tripod which'll save you from trouble positioning the camcorder, although you could try a small beanbag.
BTW - I assume you'll be using iMovie to edit with (assuming you need to edit at all!), saving your video to the internal drive as Canon equipment can cause problems when used with Final Cut.
it's hard to test the sound using the speaker on the camera, it's pretty bad, even when it sounds nice on the computer.
I did get a little tripod, and used it.
yes, i'll use iMovie. i just need any program that will let me play the videos and which has FF/RWD. that's the only one i have. DivXplayer doesn't have controls. quicktime won't play the audio.

Need some Tech Advice -- Harddrive configuation

I've searched the last week or so, just seeing what everyone else has asked, what others have suggested and/or done. So I've gotta ask a couple of questions myself.
System Specs:
G5 Quad Core 2.5Ghz
8GB of RAM
Pair of 500GB Hard Drives (currently two separate drives)
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500
Dual 30" Displays
There are 2 500GB drives in the computer, but the 2nd one is not being utilized currently. The boot/primary drive has less than 1GB available. System performance is sluggish. 2 applications that are being used are Photoshop CS2 and Aperture. All images are shot with a Canon 1Ds in RAW.
I like the idea of RAID0 in regard to speed, but don't like the idea of no redundancy. This 500GB drive was filled up from February of this year, so hard drives get filled up quickly. What can anyone recommend for a means to increase capacity, performance and stability.
Hardware RAID configuration? Software RAID configuration? External Enclosure? Based on what I've read here, hardware RAID, though more expensive, would be a better solution compared to SoftRAID. External enclosure would need to be FW800 vs. USB2.0.
The thing I'm trying to stay away from would be a 1TB RAID0 and then another 1TB RAID0 as a means for backup.
I currently have the 250GB drive that came with the computer, so I could set that drive back up as the boot drive, then take the pair of 500GB drives to store all the data. Just looking for the advice of the more experienced.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for everyone's time.

don,
After posting this and searching further, I found this:
http://www.caldigit.com/S2VRDuo.asp
I am actully looking at CalDigit's SATA RAID too.
This 2-bay RAID subsystem provides amazing functions that none of FireWire drive can compete. If it is at 150MB/s as they claimed, it is 2 times faster than FireWire 800 RAID.
I also checked with B&H, the price of such GREAT SATA RAID with 4-port Mac Pro compatible SATA card is fairly inexpensive. (only 500+ bucks for 500GB)
Or if you want to use firewire interface, your best bet is to get the new CalDigit FW800 dual bay array, FireWire VR, which is hot swapable and cooled by a nice quiet fan. This might be the best and give you most flexibility (can be upgraded to larger capacity if needed, supports RAID 0, 1 and JBOD, same as their S2VR Duo):

Need for some advice

hi.
i am getting started with swing, and i was wondering if i am making some right choices. Meanwhile i dont know where to start.
I want to create an graphical editor for my thesis.
That means that I need to implement:
- a tree with a hierarchy of concepts
- draw several kind of graphs/ diagrams (drag and drop the concepts from the tree and create the nodes, connect them with each other with edges, extend a graph with other type of nodes...)
- docks with properties for the edges. there with be various kind of edges, so the properties will have to comply with the type of the edge.
- docks with tools for the graphs, e.g. edges, types of nodes.
- save the created 'project' somehow... and load the saved ones.
- .. and other stuff that i guess will come during the develpment.
So the questions are:
1. is swing enough? if not, what should i use?
2. from where to start to?! how to organize my code? packages/ objects, is there a desing pattern for this kind of java projects? (e.g. web applications have mvc for start, factory, observers...). Is there a book that i could read?
3. how to save the created object/project?
- docks will be separate JFrames?
Can someone advice me on this?
I will be grad to provide you more information for the project if it is needed.

ok, i ve done some work for this editor, and more questions came up.
since now, i can drag a node of a tree and 'drop' it to a panel (GraphPanel). The 'drop' means that the panel is re-painted, drawing some Ellipses:
public class GraphPanel extends JPanel implements Transferable {
     // holds all the nodes of my graph
     Set<GNode> nodes; // a node has a name (string) and a Point
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
          super.paintComponent(g); // clear
          // repaint
          Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
          for (GNode n : nodes) {
               Ellipse2D.Float circle = new Ellipse2D.Float(
                    (float)n.getPoint().getX(), (float)n.getPoint().getY(), 20, 20);
               g2d.setColor(new Color(204, 159, 42));
               g2d.fill(circle);
               g2d.setColor(Color.black);
               g2d.drawString(
                    n.getName(), (int)n.getPoint().getX()+20, (int)n.getPoint().getY());
}while the JPanel implements Transferable and the TranferHandler of the JPanel accepts only the String (i only need the name of the node of a JTree) and importData() adds a new node each time a string flavor is tranfered.
The bad thing is that (a) i repaint all the panel each time.. -ok this is dummy-, (b) the nodes cannot be draggable, neither i can add mouse listeners, (c) it is realy dummy...
So.. how should i draw the nodes? Should I extend JComponent and add() an Image (e.g. an image with just a circle) in it and a Label, and add() a component to the GraphPanel on every drop?
The next thing is to be able to draw an edge among two nodes. How the edge should be implemented?
Thanks in advance (again).
