I need help on finding the right video camera

I am a high school student and I make short films. I use final cut express. I'm getting ready to do a short film for a film festival. I really want a new video camera but i don't know what to get. The price range is under 2000. If anyone knows what would be the best i would really appreciate the input.
Thanks

At the moment i have been using a Sony GC1 for small stuff but other videos i use a panasonic, im not sure of the name i don't have it with me.
The quality is really bad on the sony mainly because its just a net sharing cam and the panasonic is not mine so i dont have full access.
I really want something with good quality, 24p, can work with my macbook, just an overall good camera that will endure a lot of use.

  • Help me find the right digital camera for my wife for Christmas!

    Hi guys,
        I have been scouring Best Buy for days trying to figure out which digital camera to go with.  My wife wants a new one for Christmas, but she doesn't want a traditional point and shoot setup, nor a full DSLR (simply becuase I can't afford it!). Plus, my budget is $200-$300.
    I've been looking at a factory refurbished Olympus SP-800UZ model for $230 in the outlet center, but I'm not sure if it's a good camera or not. 
    So, any ideas of which camera to get her? 
    She wants something with over 12 MP, something with a nice zoom, and something that has the look and feel of a DSLR.
    Any suggestions in my price range?  Thanks!

    As to the specific camera you mentioned - yes, it's excellent. Note the Lens Focal Length(s), 35mm equivalent 28-840mm and the 30x optical zoom. Impressive for the price range. You could stop here and be satisfied, assuming you added a memory card since it only has 2mb of internal memory. (don't worry, they are cheap, this one takes SD only). 
    Still, I would consider what I said above, take a quick look before going the 'Refurbished' route.

  • Need help in finding the number of occurrences of a pattern.

    Hi All,
    I need help in finding the number of occurrences of a pattern in a table's column's data.
    Consider sample data - one row's column from a table:
    "S-S-S-A-S-S-P-S-S-B-S-A-P-S-S-C"
    My requirement is:
    I should get the count of S's which are immediately preceded by A or P.
    for the above data i should get count as 3+2+1=6 (S-S-S-A, S-S-P, S-A)
    The pattern data is stored as VARCHAR2 type.
    Thanks in advance,

    I am sure there exists a better way then this one:
    SQL> with dt as
      2  (select 'S-S-S-A-S-S-P-S-S-B-S-A-P-S-S-C' str from dual)
      3  SELECT SUM(Regexp_count(Regexp_substr(str, '(S\-?)+(A|P)+', 1,
      4                                     Regexp_count(str, '(S\-?)+(A|P)+') - (
      5                                                  LEVEL - 1 )), 'S')) len
      6  FROM   dt
      7  CONNECT BY LEVEL <= Regexp_count(str, '(S\-?)+(A|P)+')
      8  /

    var texts = doc.stories.everyItem().textStyleRanges.everyItem().getElements();
    var pstyle = "Following paragraph styles have more leadings:\r\r";

  • Need help to find the correct .MIB-file

    Hi.
    We are using some Nexus 7009 chassis on my work and a program called "SNMPc" that receives traps from our Nexus devices.
    The program do not have the new Nexus 7000 MIBs so we are only getting "pure text" from Nexus.
    We need to download the right type of MIB file so we can get a better understanding of what is happening on the Nexus.
    We can ONLY use ".mib" extensions but Cisco currently only offering ".traps", ".my" and ".oid" files what I can find.
    This is an example message we get:
    ciscoMgmt.706.0.1 [1] ifName.437260288 (DisplayString): Ethernet3/2 [2] ciscoMgmt.706.1.1.0 (Integer): 5 [3] ciscoMgmt.706.1.2.0 (Integer): 5 [4] ciscoMgmt.706.1.3.0 (Integer): 5 [5] ciscoMgmt.706.1.4.0 (Integer): 5 [6] ciscoMgmt.706.1.5.0 (Integer): 5 [7] ciscoMgmt.706.1.6.0 (Integer): 5 [8] ciscoMgmt.706.1.7.0 (Integer): 5 [9] ciscoMgmt.706.1.8.0 (Integer): 4 [10] ciscoMgmt.706.1.9.0 (Integer): 5 [11] ciscoMgmt.706.1.10.0 (Integer): 5 [12] ciscoMgmt.706.1.11.0 (Integer): 5 [13] snmpTrapEnterprise.0 (ObjectID): ciscoMgmt.706
    We can see that the trap name is: 1.3.6.1.4.1.56.12.1.1.0.1
    Can someone help me get the right MIB?

    Silly question but have your tried changing the file extension of the .my files to .mib  ?  I typically have to do something like that for net-snmp with Cisco MIB files...

  • Can Someone Help Me Find The Right KVM?

    I have a tough set-up and I'm finding the search to be overwhelming. I'm hoping someone who's been through this before can help me find the best KVM for my needs. Here's what I have:
    Apple Dual 553mHz G4
    • Upgraded dual montior video PCI card (ADC and DVI ports)
    Apple G5 QUAD
    • Stock dual DVI ported video PCI Express card
    Monitors
    • 2 Apple 17" displays (ADC)
    • 1 Wacom 18" Display (DVI)
    I also have 1 Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter
    Can I find a dual monitor KVM to use between these 2-machines and leave the third monitor on the G5 only? How about 3-monitor KVM? What are my options here? I'm so confused by all of this.
    i really want the G5 to be able to use all three monitors at once. It doesn't matter to me how many the G4 gets. If the KVM doesn't work I'm just going to suck it up and buy a second video card for the G5 (and DVI adapter) and run all 3 monitors on the G5 and use Remote Access for the G4.

    with respects to the dual DVI KVM... there are a couple of options out there.
    as far as 3 monitor KVM, there really are no such products, however, there are DVI matrix swtiches that will allow you to manually (or through presets) switch any input to any output, to include mirroring monitors on various inputs. however, with anything DVI, there may potentially be hot switch issues with resolution and synch, handshake, peripheral control, etc...
    let me just shoot you a couple of links...
    for dual DVI KVM...

    sorry to just shoot a bunch of links to you. in my experience, i've generally just used VGA for KVM setups and also there are many pitfalls with compatibility in certain setups that are almost impossible to avoid without trial and error and blind luck.

  • Buying the right video camera

    Hello everyone,
    I work for a community centre in Montréal and we are looking for a video camera that would be fully compatible with our new iMac and iMovie.
    We are basically filming kids participating in activities and then editing the footage.
    From what I have been reading so far, it seems a camera which records images on a tape would be the best. We have a small JVC camera which records images on a hard drive and importing the images in iMovie is a bit complicated...
    Would you have a suggestion for a small video camera ?
    Thank you !
    And Happy day !
    Mathieu
    Imac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Welcome to discussions, Bembrops
    iMovie runs on QuickTime. QuickTime 'sees'the timecode on your video. When it stops, QuickTime stops.
    So, this sounds like a timecode prolem that is happening when you import.
    Perhaps simply geting rid of the imovie perference files will help.
    Close Imovie.
    Then locate a file named com.apple.imovie.plist and get rid of it. Then empty the trash, run a permissions repair with disk utility and restart. That should do it. The files you need to delete are found in:
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist
    Also, Canon cameras don't always play nice with imovie. Especially if the camera is daisy-chained thru another firewire device. Having said this, I think I'd try a shorter Firewire cable.

  • Need help finding the right digital camera, PLEASE! :0)

    I am looking to upgrade from my current digital camera that is abou 6 yrs old.  While it is a good camera, I am not quite happy with the delay when taking pics.  I am looking for a camera that has a really good zoom (10x or greater) and has a fast shutter speed.  I am usually taking photos of my children who area always on the move whether it be sports or school plays.  Thank you in advance for any and all input! 

    Fast shutter speed or low shutter lag?  There's a difference.  Almost any camera is capable of very fast shutter speeds, but the shutter lag (from pressing the button to actually taking a picture) is a whole different story.
    In general, with a few rare exceptions, if you want to reduce shutter lag significantly you need to purchase a DSLR.  Neary all point-and-shoots use an autofocus technique called "contrast detection autofocus" which is very slow.  DSLRs use a much more sophisticated (and faster) autofocus system.
    You can sometimes work around this by getting a point and shoot that has manual focus.  Focus manually on the area you want to be in focus (such as the stage at a play) and shoot whenever your subject is in that area.

  • Need help in finding the root cause the error 'Could not find function:'

    Hi fokls,
    In my workflow notification , when I click on the notification to process it , it says ' 'Could not find function:' error.
    I found the this message is coming out from the Fnd_new_messages table from the message_name 'FND_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND'.
    Here are my questions ...
    1. FND_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND - Is it a oracle Seeded message ?
    2. If so the error I am getting is a oracle product Bug ?
    And In between , I am getting this error for few transaction only. ( out of 100 , i am getting this error at the rate of 5 per 100 ... or less)
    3 .If its a oracle product bug then , how is 95 out of 100 transaction are succssfully wokring ?
    4. If is a custom bug , how it os not though for some other 95 transaction ?
    5. Can I expect it as Data issue ? If so what kind of data issue.
    Folks , any kind of info will be really , realy helpful for me ... please let me know your inputs for me.
    Thansk to all in advance
    Raghu

    In the error message 'Could not find function:' after colon what function name it is giving.
    'FND_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND' is a seeded message only.
    As you are saying the error was throwing only for 5% or less notifications, is the error throwing for same kind of notifications? I mean the item type and message are same for these erroneous notifications?
    It can be that some function in particular type of workflow is error-ed out does not exists, when responding to those kind of notifications it might be throwing error.
    Please check that.

  • Need help in deciding the right SAP certification.

    Hello Expert,
    Need some help in deciding upon an SAP certification. I am 4+ years experienced in SAP ABAP. Is there any value add in doing ABAP certification or should i go ahead and do something on the lines of Netweaver, MDM or CRM ???
    Please advise.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Josin George

    Hi Josin
    CRM surely has a good future so you could spend time and efforts in learning more into that on the job.
    As for certification, I recommend that you work for more 2 years and go for the Professional certification (ABAP) rather than "Associate". It will be a value addition for sure.
    Please search these forums and also take others' opinions relating to CRM / ABAP certifications.
    Cheers!
