I need un-biased opinions regarding Divi Cam 525D

Hi Creative consumers!
I've been a loyal creative follower (if not yet proud owner) for quite some time. And I know this might sound exaggerated but I have been waiting for YEARS for the release of the 525 D in my country. When I learned that it's being sold this month I practically fainted (seriously)...However as great as the product sounds (and I've ordered one already) I'm still hoping for 525 D users to give me some ideas regarding the highs and lows of the product. It would really help me a lot -- if not on?deciding whether to buy it or not -- but at least so I'd know what to expect. Thanks a lot!!!

its got a good video, and high light sensitivity, i had no problems shooting during night time, concerts etc..
the digital camera side, is a bit ok, cant compare with a pure breed digicam. You need to fondle a lot with its settings to get a good focus, since its focus is fixed to a macro, a portrait and normal focus to infinity.
so in conclusion, the camera does more of a video capability than a digital camera.

    Hi, first of all, I'm very glad that Creative has a forum. Well, I own a MacBook and I plan to buy a DiVi CAM 525D.I read in this other thread that there are some codec and webcam issues. I just need to know if I will have problems downloading videos i recordedfrom the DiVi CAM 525D to my MacBook?I hope it's Plug and Play...

  • Q: Red eye reduction in Creative Divi Cam 525D

    Is there a red eye reduction facility in Creative Divi Cam 525D? I notice that there're only 3 modes for flash: auto, on, and off. Thanks.

    Hm, no red eye reduction. Can't rely on 525D to take important indoor pictures requiring flash then.

  • Creative divi cam 525d sample videos and shots

    here are some samples of videos and still shot of creative divi cam 525d
    shots taken with sun light.. auto exposure is pretty impressive. Never thought that still shots can be this good for a multi purpose toy cam (high resolution 5mp)

    Pros:
    - mp3 player sounds great even without bass and treble adjustments
    - still camera produce great results
    - auto exposure works great
    cons:
    - night mode option decreases fps (frames per seconds)
    - stabilization disables zooming for videos
    - zooming is not recommended.. they should have optical zoom instead of digital zoom..
    NOTE: night mode decreases the fps.
    . that's why creative indicated at the product specification (max 30fps).
    Read description from youtube.. to see the environment settings of each video

  • DiVi CAM 316 with 1GB SD?

    I just bought a DiVi CAM 316 and need to purchase SD card. Can the DiVi CAM 316 support 1 GB SD?
    Hope someone is able to help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi MC,
    Perhaps you could check the specifications that is printed on the box.
    If I'm not wrong, DiViCam 316 only supports up to 52MB of external memory capacity.
    In other words, the mp3 may have been uploaded into the 6MB internal memory instead of the 1GB SD Card.
    Well, hope this info helps and have a nice day!

  • What are the extra software pieces I need to connect a Flir A325 camera via GigE?

    I am going to be developing an application which includes 2 Flit A325 cameras (GigE).  The plan is to have one computer connected to the cameras with that camera computer sending messages via datasocket to the stand computer, which will have other DAQ connected to it. 
    What are the extra software pieces (besides regular LabVIEW) I will need on the camera computer?  IMAQdx?  Vision Module or toolkit?  I don't need automated inspection stuff. 
    Thanks,
    John

    Hello John,
    If you only need to acquire images from these cameras, you would just need the Vision Acquisition Software. This will provide you the NI-IMAQdx driver to take care of image acquisition from GigE cameras. If you need to do any image processing as well, such as thresholding or pattern matching, you would need the Vision Development Module.
    To send images over DataSocket, you can flatten the image to a string for it to be sent to the second computer, and then unflatten it on the other end. The following knowledgebase article has information on this: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/70A5D11517DBA50C86256E6A0070E5A7?OpenDocument  . I hope this helps!

  • DiVi CAM 428 world-wide release?

    So far I've checked all the online Creative store and only the Singapore store sells this DiVi CAM 428 and they are always out of stock.

  • Hi every i just bought an ipad 2 . en the cams resolution it's not very good. is the the max grafh. or do i need to do something to have cams hd???

    hi every i just bought an ipad 2 . en the cams resolution it's not very good. is the the max grafh. or do i need to do something to have cams hd???

    Both cameras on the iPad are low resolution, something like 1 meg each (the back camera is capable of 720P HD video). But the cameras are mainly aimed at FaceTime / Skype type video calls, and unless you have very good light you are unlikely to get good stills photos or videos from the iPad - you are better off using a compact camera or even your phone.

  • DiVi Cam 316 with Macintosh- need software

    Creative specs say camera generates MP-4 output, but files are in .asf format, and my iMovie won't read them. I can convert these files to AVI on a PC, then import the AVI files into iMovie for editing, but that requires two computers and isn't a portable solution. My question:
    Who knows of a Mac application that will convert from ASF to AVI, preferably using a codec with a fairly high compression rate
    (Microsoft RLE and Video codecs seem to work OK on the PC)?
    Thanks

  • I need to divi cam 428 driver please!

    i lost my inst. cd.. can someone send to me this driver by e-mail. my e-mail adress is : [email protected]. thank you..

    You can use Labwindow/CVI RS-232 library, if instrument has this interface. But better way is using VISA for that.
