Looking for compatible camera

i also am in the market for a new camcorder that is compatible with my imac OS X system and FCE. i like the sony hdrsr1 but i'm not sure if it will work and i will be able to edit from this. does anyone know? should i just stick to mini dv and be safe in this case? does anyone have any suggestions for a camera that i could edit on this system with and still have it be a good quality camera as far as picture quality, priced under $1500?
imac g5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

the ADCHD codec isn't supported (yet) on Macs ... probably with some forthcoming QT update..?
actually, FCE supports miniDV devices only.. standard or HiDef ...
(ok, antique Digital8 too ... )
the 3ccd devices of Panasonic have an excellent reputation concerning pic quality ...

  • 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.

  • Looking for a camera to take pictures of little (fast moving) kids

    I am looking for a camera that will take picutres of my little ones (3 and 1).  My old point and shoot (Nikon Cool pix I think) camera takes forever to focus and take the picture after I push the button so the kids have already moved by that time.  And it also takes forever to 'record the picture' to be able to take another.  I was looking at the Canon T3 or T3i.  What are the real differences between the two?  I used the compare feature on the website but that didn't really help me out.

    You are correct to move to a DSLR for faster auto focus, faster response and faster saving images compared to a compact camera.
    T3i costs more, has more resolution, and has a flip out screen compared to the T3.
    You would be smarter to consider Nikon DSLR's for cross-type focus points for faster auto-focussing.  Canon DSLR's do not have focus assist lighting which can have a harder time to autofocus in low light when indoors.

    Go the store to try it out the DSLR's.  If you want more auto-focussing, consider a good external flash, they have illumination lasers.

  • Looking for compatible DVD/RW drive for Satellite A30

    Hi!
    As the most people who have the A30-303 laptop model with Mat****a UJ-811 ODD the same with me I need to change this drive and I looking for compatible model with this one.
    The only one I know is the connection type is atapi and we need the same dimension for the new drive to be compatible with the old one, and if someone knows something else about the compatibility of optical drives that would be very useful for me (and specific for this model)
    Thanks

    Thanks JohnnyS for your reply!
    I made a search in some computer shops in Athens, so first I found a NEC 7543A (55 euros) but I found some reading problems with the CDs so I change with LG T10N (65 euros) because until now I never had any problem with this firm, as about mat****a my opinion is after this failure device (UJ-811 I already changed during the warranty period ) it would be not good to take another mat****a.
    So if someone with the same model looking for DVD/RW I thing the LG T10N is working fine in this model read write everything and very fast.
    Thanks

  • Looking for Video Camera to measure crack length??????

    I need to measure crack length in fatigue test of an Aluminium sample automatically. For example, the camera can take shots (Images) every 4000 cycles (fatigue load cycles), maybe more cycles.
    For my test, I need to measure both sides crack length (right side and left side of specimen centre line), shown in Fig1.  So I need to take shots both crack tips at the same time, which means camera must have a large field view and the resolution should measure 0.01mm, to see both crack tips clearly. At the end, I must be able to acquire images from Labview. I can save all the images into my fold from Labview, then I can measure crack lengths in left and right side from every image.
    Would you please give me any suggestions on the characteristic/specifications of this kind of camera?
     What kind of camera can I use? How much this kind of camera? Where can I order this kind of camera?

    Do you have the software that will analyze your images? If not, your camera is not your major cost here. 
    But for just cameras, check out edmund optics (edmundoptics.com I think).  They have a camera selector guide that will at least give you an idea of the specs you actually need and the price range to look at.

  • Looking For A Camera For Our Church

    I need to buy a camcorder for our church.  It will be used to show live video during services and to record special events such as weddings.  The main features I am looking for are:
    (1) Flash memory
    (2) Ability to handle low light conditions
    (3) Audio input connection
    That last item seems to be the challenge.  I want to be able to input audio from our mixer, but it seems that you have to go to to the high-end (> $3,000) cameras to get a line-level audio input connection.  We would like to stay under $1,000.  Does anyone know of a camera that would meet my needs and still be affordable?
    Alternatively, could we use the external mic input and adjust the mixer output level down to a level equivalent to a condenser mic?
    Your help would be appreciated!
    THANKS

    I think you already solved your problem in your description - use a lower end unit with a mic input and find an adapter from line-level to mic input levels.
    I believe active XLR-to-3.5mm stereo adapters exist and are $100-200.  I see passive ones (not sure how well they will actually work) for $10-20.
    For the camcorder itself, Canon's HF series are a good bet.  I have an HF100 and it's great.  Current offering that is likely your best bet is the HF200.  The HF S200 will be replacing it soon, however at a few hundred dollars extra.

  • Looking for a camera. . .

    I was interested in the Nikon p80 but after reading some reviews Im not sure if its what I want...heard its not for people who arent experienced with anything other than point and shoot cameras.
    This is what Im looking for, and reviews/advice would be helpful.
    -good optical/digital zoom
    -7/8+ megapixels
    -big viewing screen
    -efficiency in low light
     -beautiful pictures
    -easy to use or learn to use
    -price range of about $300-$500

    Hey dt4d,
    Although the Nikon p80 has a more advanced capability than the average point and shoot camera, it can also be set to operate the same as any point and shoot camera would. The most significant difference between the Nikon p80 and the average point and shoot camera is the lens on the p80 has a significantly more telephoto capability, which should allow you to shoot much more distant subjects. With $300 to $500 to spend there are very few point and shoot cameras that would be outside of your price range. When deciding what to purchase my first concern is always quality of construction, because when I spend $300 to $500 I want it to last a long time. In my personal opinion the best point and shoot camera on the market right now is the Canon G10, which retails for $499.99 on BestBuy.com. With the Canon G10 you would sacrifice some of the lens reach that the Nikon p80 has, but I feel like the quality of construction of the G10 outweighs the longer focal length of the p80. The Nikon p80 is also a great camera, and with a budget of $300 to $500 there are many options for you. I would suggest going to a Best Buy® store and start trying some out. I hope this helps out!

  • Looking for a camera with the flip photo capability of the iPhone~ any suggestions?

    Looking for a digital (small) camera that would allow me to see myself when taking a photo without having to flip the camera completely around... Are there any suggestions on where I should start to look/recommendations? New to the camera world!

    How much do you want to spend?  What do you think about the D5200?  With a DSLR sensor, the image quality will be incredible compared to an iPhone.  Need more light?  Just add an external flash.

  • Help!  looking for internet camera compatible with Mac

    I need help! I purchased a Mac recently and so far I am very happy with it. However, we just had a baby and I'd like to see and hear my baby from my computer at work. At work we use PCs and at home we havea iBook G4. I bought a D-link wireless G internet camera, the DCS-950G, but I could not install it because it requires you to have a PC for initial installation. I've looked around the web but I've been unable to find an internet camera that works with the Mac. I am desperate and frustrated! Does aynone know of an wireless internet camera that works with the Mac? I'd greatly appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks.

    Hello B Real Brad
    You do not say which DV camcorder you have. The exact answers to your questions depend upon your camcorder's features and user guide instructions. If you experience problems when you try your camcorder, check your camcorder's users guide instructions. That having been said, here are the answers to your posted questions:> Do I need to have a firewire cable to successfully use it through iChat ...
    Firewire will be easiest. If you have a Firewire cable to download your DV Video to iMovie, that one will work fine.
    ... or can I use the normal usb cable?
    Depending upon your camcorder, that may work with additional software and or hardware, but, if your camcorder offers it, Firewire will me much easier.
    .. is the quality ... better using a DV camcorder ... ?
    Usually. This depends on which camcorder you compare with which webcam.
    Some people like the image quality of their camcorders better. See John Kennedy's "Cameras and Image Quality", the Sat - October 30, 2004, blog for a comparison. (John's is a very high quality camcorder.)
    See this link for my reasons for using a webcam when I do not need portability or highest possible quality. Some of the reasons may be of interest to you.For specifics on how to get going, see my recent response to Tony Keogh. Although Tony asks specifically about a particular Sony model, the specific suggestions I made there should apply to your camcorder, too.
    If the above do not get you going, I suggest that you start your own topic and give as many specifics as possible about your system, your problem, and what you have already tried. Your questions deserve the individual attention they will get in a separate topic.
    Here are a couple of other suggestions for your consideration:
    (1) I see from your other posts that you use Miglia TVMini. Be aware that some AV devices and third-party items can cause possible hardware or software conflicts with iChat.
    (2) Also, your system info shows that you are using 10.4.4. I suggest that you update to the latest available version of Tiger using the following method:- Repair permissions.
    - Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (PPC).
    - Finish with another Permissions Repair.The latest Combo Update offers several additions and improvements over the older versions.
    Cheers,

  • Looking for a camera with no shutter lag!

    Currently I have a KODAK normal everyday digital camera...  Since I had my son, I have been very aggravated with this camera due to the shutter lag.  By the time I press the button, in the 5 second delay, my son has already turned his head and all I have is a blur for a picture.
    I am looking to get a new camera, possibly a DSLR in the price range of about $400-$450
    I know the DSLR camera is big and bulky, but my pictures will totally be worth it!
    Can someone give me any suggestions on which camera I should get? 
    Thanks so much!

    No camera has zero shutter lag, but DSLRs have significantly lower shutter lag than most point and shoots.
    You'll probably be fine with any of the entry-level kits (body + lens).
    Note, a few things can contribute to a perception of shutter lag which aren't actually shutter lag:
    1)  Autofocus performance.  DSLRs blow away point and shoots here due to fundamental differences in the way their AF systems operate (contrast detect in P&S or mirrorless vs phase detect in SLR - phase detect is MUCH faster).  Nikon's SLRs tend to be the king when it comes to AF performance.  With P&S cameras, this can often be worked around by "prefocusing" (on most cameras, pushing the shutter halfway down and waiting for "that moment", and some P&S cameras permit manual focus.  (I got some great pictures at Sea World with a Panasonic DMC-LX1 this way - I was up in the stands so just set manual focus to infinity and shot away.)
    2)  Flash recycle time - Most cameras won't trip the shutter if the flash is in use and not ready.  The builtin flash of SLRs is only a minor improvement here, but an external flash can greatly improve this performance aspect.  Plus off-camera flash opens up a whole new world of lighting techniques - see strobist.blogspot.com

  • Looking for the camera raw plugin for Nikon d3100

    Hello!
    I'm familiar with how to install a camera raw plugin for photoshop.  However, I've had a difficult time finding the correct download link for the Nikon d3100 for ps cs4.  Will you please point me in the right direction with a link or otherwise?  Thanks so much!

    ACR - Adobe Camera Raw versions are specific to the version of Photoshop you have.
    They don't provide updates to your version for cameras that were released much later.
    You need to download the LATEST version of DNR Converter and use this to convert a FOLDER that contains your D3100 files to DNGs which then can be opened in your older version of ACR for Photoshop CS4.
    The Adobe DNG Converter, a free utility that converts files from more than 350 cameras to DNG, enables you to easily convert camera-specific raw files to a more universal DNG raw file.
