Need more details.  Which cybershot?  There's a huge range of Cybershots.  What don't you like about it?  What features/capaibilites are you looking for?  What do you want to take pictures of?
There's plenty better than anything in Sony's CyberShot line (such as Sony's Alpha line of DSLRs and the NEX mirrorless cameras), however whether you can find something better AND within your price limits is a different story (None of the Alphas or the NEXs, or equivalent cameras from other manufacturers, come close to your price requirements.  Entry-level DSLR kits start at around $500).

  • How do you "power search"on the new  itunes?

    How does one power search on the new itunes? Is it still possible?

    In addition, since that search window is part of the iTunes' Main Page, I have to wait for that page to load before I can do my search. Before, I could click on the Power Search link, and it would abandon the load and bring me to the Power Search page. Now, since the Main Page takes so long to load, I have to wait for that to finish before I can search.
    In other words, I have to wait for iTunes to show me what it wants me to buy, before I can tell it what I want to buy.
    Kinda like going into a record store and getting a saleman who tries to sell me the latest hits before he will listen to what it is I came in to buy. The attitude is completely wrong.

  • New camera, can't edit RAW, CS5.1

    Camera: Canon G16
    Computer: Macbook pro 2012
    OS: 10.9.1
    Adobe: CS5.1
    Just recently bought G16. Now can no longer open files in Camera Raw. I get the error "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format of one or more files. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your version of the photoshop camera raw plug in" and then gives me a link.
    I've searched through the link, the adobe site, and I've download and installed updates but no luck. Can someone help me out? I am missing my Camera Raw!

    Well, if you had bothered to read a few threads here, your new camera won't work in your old Photoshop...either update to the current Photoshop or download the free DNG Converter and convert the camera's raw file to DNG.

  • Got a new camera? Can't open the raw files?

    Just use Forum Search.

    At the top of the forum is an FAQ with two topics called:
    Why doesn't my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
    Camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw
    The top FAQ explains that we provide new camera updates every quarter, and that we provide early access to Camera Raw releases on Adobe Labs. Unfortunately, we can't give specifics on dates and all models that will be supported.
    The second FAQ gives specifics about what cameras are currently supported and when support was added.
    Unfortunately, it's not being very effective. Clearly, lots of people wade in here asking the same questions, over and over again.
    I suppose that there's two possible attitudes to this:
    1. People are lazy/stupid/busy/insert-excuse-here to read the forum instructions, and it doesn't matter how easy you make it, they'll still not read it.
    2. Improve usability. The ACR forum design and precise wording could be tweaked, to make it easier/quicker for users to find answers.
    For what it's worth, I think we fall somewhere between the two.  Obviously, some people will still ask the #1 question no matter how obvious you make it.  But I do think that there's nothing wrong in making things stand out more, especially when conventional forum layouts become so boring that people fail to see the useful information.
    Someone clearly updates the announcement bar. This stands out. Couldn't they also pick out topical discussions with links to workarounds? e.g....
    Nikon D750 support will be available with Camera Raw & DNG Converter 8.7. Release candidate available from Adobe Labs.
    Canon 7D mk.II support will be available with Camera Raw & DNG Converter 8.7, but is as yet unsupported.
    Camera Raw updates are released every 3–4 months. Camera Raw 8.6 was released on July 28 2014. Camera Raw FAQs.

  • New camera, Organiser, website, & captions - (this is a rather specialised question)

    I have a large website picture gallery, which used Elements Organiser and JAlbum. The captions were simply transferred from Organiser to the website, which was great. I have many Nikon cameras.
    Having purchased a new camera for specific purposes, (an Olympus 550) I have hit an unexpected and curious problem. Although the captions are displayed in the normal manner in Organiser, when it opens on the website it displays - either ''latest pictures-042.jpg'' (see http://www.natureandpictures.co.uk/albums/LATEST%20PICTURES/slides/latest%20pictures-042. html ) or ''OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA'' (see http://www.natureandpictures.co.uk/albums/LATEST%20PICTURES/slides/latest%20pictures-100. html ) On the index page, it shows no caption at all.
    Being a writer/photographer dependant on such things, could anyone recommend me any adjustment that may be made to Organiser. I have tried repeatedly to type in a caption and it only happens with this camera.
    Thank you,
    Ian Julian

    Ian,
    For the photos taken with the Olympus camera, I would expect that when you viewed the Caption in the Organizer it would have shown as "OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA". At least that is what I have experienced when I viewed in the Organizer photos taken by an Olympus 8080 and multiple other Olympus cameras. It appears that the cameras are placing that text in the field that the Organizer uses as Caption.
    I don't have a web site but I do sometimes make slide shows where I choose to automatically display the Caption and this Olympus text would appear. My solution for the photos from Olympus cameras is to clear the caption field -
    Do you have the "Organize Your Photos with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3" book? - if yes, look at page 106
    If not, here is a summary
    - Find > By Caption and enter Olympus
    - select all photos returned by that Find
    - Edit > Add Caption then check Replace Existing Captions and blank out the caption
    find the relevant photos by searching
    Multiple Select the thumbnails for the Olympus camera photos, choose Update Caption, then clear the text and hit enter.

  • New camera for use with IM09

    Looking at upgrading my camcorder and trying to figure out which would be best with IM09...
    This is what I have been looking at...
    http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/576009-REG/Canon3085B001_VIXIA_HG20_AVCHDHard.html#features
    I tend to lean towards the Canons, but how does this JVC compare?
    http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/572458-REG/JVCGZ_HD30US_GZ_HD30_Everio_HighDefinition.html#features
    Then the other questions I have are:
    Should I got HD based or stay MiniDV?
    The Canon says it records progressive footage at 60i, does that mean it is not true progressive?
    Will an MiniDV HD cam improve my standard MiniDV captures, will it up scale them?
    Thanks for the help...

    I believe the real answer is not HDV vs ACHDV but progressive vs interlaced format. Imovie works better with progressive vs interlaced. However, shooting in 1080 60p needs a mac pro to really edit properly. Plus you need to trick imovie to consume it. However, I would still look into shooting progressive. Do a search on progressive and there are a few threads on it.
    Yes, I have discovered that by working with IM09 with my standard DV cam. But it appears to me that both of the new formats will record in 30p and 24p (at least on the canon line). So will I not be importing progressive with either? Your right that is my top priority (and the major reason for getting a new cam) is to be able to record and import in progressive format...
    The more I read, the more I am tending to lean toward HDV. I just want to make sure the qualities are the same...

  • New camera questions

    It's time for a new camera and it looks like it's not going to be a DV tape camera this time.  I'm considering the Canon VIXIA HF G30 so if anyone has any feedback on that particular camera that would be much appreciated.  On to the questions....
    1) I generally produce the edited output on traditional DVDs - no need for Blu Ray, at least not yet.  Will PrE downres the video to SD?
    2) Can I mix DV-AVI and AVCHD or MP4 in the same project so long as I am producing SD output?   Occasionally I need two or three cameras and I'm not ready to buy several of these.
    3) Preferences on AVCHD vs MP4? 
    Thanks everyone!
    Bob

    Scaling down - just be aware that your AVCHD shooting 1920x1080 is around 2.1 megapixels whereas DVD (assuming NTSC) is 720x480 which is 0.35 megapixels. So your output resolution will only be 1/6th that of your shot footage. Flipping that equation means that the downsizing process discards 5/6ths of the image resolution. Your output DVD will be of lower quality. There are so many posts on these forums complaining of poor quality when converting HD to SD - when this is an inevitability. I think what many do is connect their camera to the TV to watch their raw footage (naturally in glorious HD) and are then disappointed when they edit it and convert it to DVD. So long as you are prepared for this in advance you should be fine.
    PRE can cope with mixed footage on the timeline, it's just not generally considered sensible. What most recommend is creating an HD project for your HD clips, output it to an SD DV-AVI Type 2 file and import that to an SD project containing your other SD clips. But you could also do some experimentation - put all your clips into an SD project and see what the output looks like or put all your clips into an HD project and see what an SD output from that project looks like.
    PRE natively edits AVCHD so go with that.
    Searching 'Canon Vixia' will give you a lot more discussion results that may be helpful.

  • Does anyone know how to do a text search in the new Safari for iPad iOS 7?

    Does anyone know how to do a text search in the new Safari for iPad iOS 7?

    The feature has been removed to make safari even less useable. You need to download a third party browser like atomic web browser to get the functionality you want back.
    Like many new IOS 7 "features", safari on the ipad is a FAIL.
    At least you can now bury safari in a folder containing hundreds of icons that you can only view 9 at a time.

  • I have updated my PSE9 and still can not open the RAW files from my new camera, I get an error?

    I bought a new camera (Canon T5i) and took photos in RAW, tried to open them in PSE9 and they wouldn't open. I got the following error...
    Canon RAW Codec found a new CR2 file that is not supported by the installed version.
    You can download the Canon RAW Codec update program from the link below.
    (Canon Server)
    I have been to the link & downloaded what update it had. I have also done the available updates on my PSE9 and I am still getting this error messge. When I called Canon regarding this they said I needed to contact Adobe.
    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or not doing so I can open these files???

    The T5 is supported by Camera RAW 8.4 which needs PSE12. You can use the Canon software to convert RAW to TIF or the Adobe DNG Converter. The converter will convert the CR2 files to Adobes RAW DNG format that will open in PSE9's RAW processor. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#downloads.

  • Hi please can you help me. I have photoshop CS5 extended, I bought a new camera Nikon D610 I want to edit my photos adobe camera raw , but when I try to open photoshop CS5 it will not open. Please can you tell me how to download and install the camera raw

    HI bought a new camera Nikon D610 , I am using adobe photoshop CS5 extended, I want to edit my photos in camera raw but it is not possible to do so . I need to download camera raw plugin for CS5 can some tell me how to do so or if there is a link for the camera plugin.
    Many thanks Pitt.

    For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC.  Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version  6.7

  • I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Element

    I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.

    How did you try to install ACR 8.8.  The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
    There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma.  This one tells you what your camera needs:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html   This one tells you what version of software you need:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6.  (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
    To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13.   Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
    The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter.  Download and install it from here for FREE:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890  Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use.  That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom.  DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless.  There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

  • Using Aperture with an external Hard Drive and my new camera (Nikon D300s)

    I have an older MacBook pro- basically had option upgrade comp or camera- went with the new Nikon D300s... my pro was maxed out so a friend helped me transfer my library to my external Harddrive (had a tra- after transfer of my library looking at only 721mb left (just a few photos)) but here is the issue- we have it set up when i load my cards that they go right to the external- but two things happen- my raw photos show as 'unsupported format' AND I can't figure out how to edit.... seriously so frustrated I am ready to go with a micro-puker computer and photoshop... this is NUTS! any help... o and I run AP 2 and I ain't dumping any more money in apple until they can show me they are working again... this is eating my profits!

    Well... I am going to say I am not ashamed to admit that I am not 100% sure. I basically gave my computer to my friend who is a computer guru as I was trying to download my first shoot with my new camera and I got a "not enough memory" message- and kinda freaked out.
    I have a WD external HD so it is mac friendly-
    I don't know how he moved it-- I know he said when he set it up to transfer it took close to 14 hours as it is USB (I know I can and should get a firewire port for it) - and to be truthful I don't know if it is referenced or managed. I know that I plug in the external and make sure it shows in on my computer then plug in my card reader and when i plug in my CF card... aperture opens and I set up a new project and it saves to the hard drive... yet is still showing on my aperture lib- so I am confused... and of course my "free" apple care ran out 6 months ago so I can't just call them or drive to denver and have them show me the solution... and I need one as I have a HUGE photo job in like 4 days

  • Creative Cloud is always empty and I cannot update LR and PS and cannot open RAW files from my new camera!

    My Creative Cloud is always empty.  I've had this trouble for over a year.  I cannot update Lightroom because of it and Photoshop does not update properly.  I cannot open the RAW files from my new camera, a Nikon D750.  Each time I want to update, I have to talk to you and delete things and reinstall things but it doesn't fix it properly!
    I have contacted Adobe before and always have to go through a tedious delete stuff and reinstall, then next time it happens all over again.
    I'm really fed up with it and want to know how to fix it properly.  I am in the UK, if that makes any difference.

  • Problems downloading photos from new camera into i photo macbook pro os  ver 10.6.8, new camera Olympus VR340, iphoto version 9.2.3 -- any thoughts?

    Have a "vintage macbook pro running snow leopard os vers. 10.6.8.  Just bought a new camera -- Olympus VR 340.  Yesterday the photos downloaded into iphoto with no problerms.  Today they won't -- in fact -- iphoto just has the turning wheel and won't function (version 9.2.8).  Any thoughs about what the problem is and how to get it to work again? Never had problems with iphoto before -- with multiple cameras.
    thanks.

    Quit iPhoto, then go to Users / your home folder / Library / Preferences.
    In that folder you will find two files named com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    trash both files, then restart iPhoto.
    Next go to iPhoto/Preferences and make sure you have selected Connecting Camera Opens: iPhoto
