What HD camera to buy?

I've got a school play that I'm filming for the music department and I'm interested in upgrading my Main camera, I'm needing help picking a camera that is vastly better than my FlipHD's but still affordable. I'm looking at max price of $500-$600, but cheaper (without sacraficing a lot of quality) would be better.
Last year my FlipHD cameras were okay, but nothing spectacular.I sold Standard Definiton DVDs so the quality wasn't great anyway, but now I'm looking at selling Bluray High Definition discs too so I need to up my game a little. I've posted a picture of what my Main FlipHD did at the play.
So far, I'm looking at the M500 or the M50, but other suggestions welcome.
Screencap: in 1280x720 resolution.

Hi In4longhaul,
The VIXIA HF M50 and VIXIA HF M500 are vary nice camcorders and should provide years of reliable service.
With a maximum F/Stop range f/1.8-3.0, the camcorders should be able to capture the plays nicely.

What Video camera to buy?

I am working with a not for profit group who is interested in putting some videos about members of the group as part of telling it's history.
I am considering buying a consumer camera, probably HD, and am wondering which camera's work well in this situation.I suspect that we will also be using some Sony studio camera footage if that makes a difference.
Thanks

I am no expert so I'll just tell you what works for me and what doesn't.
AVCHD as I've experience with my Panasonic HDC-SD9 absolutely *****! There is not better way to put it. The compression fragments are like a JPG compressed to leass than 40%. Also, the video cam ***** for low light, so anything I've done in low light has been unusable between the grain the fragments.
Now, as sad as it is, with my $1000 video camera sitting doing nothing, I have found my new love. My Canon SD960 IS. It does 720P video and it is nice. I've watched it directly off the camera on a 52" LCD and it was very nice. I'm guess that for what you are doing this might be a good choice. Not only does this camera do great video, it aslo take great pictures! After all, it's a camera that takes video, not the other way around.
Seriously, video on these devices (cameras) has gotten really good for general consumer use and it works for me for the most important thing in my life, my daughter (16 months now).
Do youself a favor and avoid AVCHD like the plague!
I won't even go into the nightmare I had editing, or even getting a computer good enough to edit AVCHD.
Curse Panasonic Video and HP Computer hardware. Curse you both!

What PowerShot camera to buy?

I have today an A2000 IS camera and want to get a new camera that the time between shots is shorter (the time from when I take a picture until I could take the next one).
Would appreciate a few models (not SLRs)

What camera to buy for taking close pictures of coins in mint state condition????

hi
what camera to buy for taking close pictures of coins in mint state condition????uncirculated coins ??

BetterWay wrote:
The camera is not so much of an issue here as making sure that you get the right glass(lens) .
Both Nikon and Canon have specialty lenses to allow Macro (1:1 or lifesize or greater magnification) images to be made.
I would also recommend that you get a good tripod and focusing rails to mount your camera on as most macro photography is best done using manual focus and moving the camera. This is due to the fact that macro lenses have a very shallow depth of field.
If you don't want to go to this extreme, then at least get a small sturdy tripod and always use a remote shutter release.
All of this is related to DSLR's.
If you want to go the PnS route, then look for one that emphasizes its macro capability and again, use a tripod. Again, the lens is the most important item here.
Actually, no - lens is not the most important - coins are highly reflective and as a result VERY difficult to light properly - the lighting equipment is going to be the most important.
Lens will be second most important - you can probably do fine for coin photography with one of the common pseudo-macro lenses that only do 1:2 and not 1:1. However a true 1:1 macro lens will give you the most flexibility.
Since the lighting equipment is the most important, the key here is going to be that the camera has support for an external flash. This is guaranteed for an SLR but rare in P&S cameras.

What Web Cam is compatible with the Mac mini

Hi everyone,
Thinking of buying a Mac mini to use with my Sony TV but I want to connect a web cam also. Does anyone know what web cam works with a Mac mini? Keen to get one but if I cannot find a compatible web cam I don't think I will. I have no wish to buy the apple monitor just for the use of a web cam.

2008 Mac Mini - what webcam can I buy for this computer?????

OMG help me. I have a 2008 Mac Mini - I need to skype and have tried a few webcams that either just don't work or there is no sound - I understand it nees to be the correct kind for mac... so what webcam can I use on this computer I've been researching for days and can't seem to find any definitive answers anywhere online.... what webcam can I buy for a mini mac 2008??

Try this:
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-960-000694/dp/B004FH O5Y6
Works for me and Skype, anyway.
The microphone will have to be built-in to the camera and USB-connected - like the one above (and NOT a pink 3.5mm plug!)
You also sure you're selecting the correct audio input on the webcams you've already tried?

What video cameras are compatible with Final Cut Express?

I live in Japan and was thinking of buying a Victor " Full High Definition" video camera (1920x1080). The only thing I was warned about by the salesperson is that unless I have a Blue-Ray DVD recorder/player, I will never be able to enjoy true Full HD after burning my video to a DVD. I guess regular DVD recorders/players can't support it yet.
I have searched to find a page that tells me what video camera is compatible with my iMac G5, but no luck. Any ideas on how to find out before buying a video camera? I would appreciate anyone's advice.
Thanks, Larry in Japan

You want to stay away from recordable-DVD and hard-disk camcorders,

Hope you don't mind me asking why? - As long as they've got a F/W connector how does the source media make any difference? - In fact, I would think that shuttling around would be faster with HD's or DVD's.....
I also believe the salesperson was trying to say that he's going to need a BluRay deck in order to be able to view his HD material on an appropriately equipped TV - Which is correct, no?
Thanks in advance for any comments,
Cheers,

What Video Camera?

Hi. Im planning on buying my first own video camera and also im planning on buying Express next month because i heard its more for beginners. Anyways i was wondering what video camera has really good quality. What I like to film is just daily life with my family and friends. I love being able to watch something later down the road and i want to be able to have a good image of that when it happens. Ive always been raised in a home of Sony products so thats pretty much all I know. (Im 20 by the way). But I was wanting to be open minded with my first video camera purchase and see what else is out there besides Sony. I was reffered already to get a min-DV camera. So I narrowed it down to 2 Sony ones.
These are the 2 and also I was wondering why such a big price difference of $250?

What other video cams do you guys suggest? My range is up to $650. Please help me out so I dont make a mistake on which to buy. Also please dont get in a fight over which is better. If you have a different suggestion than someone else let me know why you do also. Thanks for your time.
Black Macbook Intel-Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hello dietwater5,
the biggest difference between the HC-48 and the HC-96 is the size of the CCD, which in the end translates as picture quality. Another feature is the A/Vin of the HC-96, which makes it possible to capture video from analog sources.
In the price range you're targeting, I personally would try and see if I could get a good offer on a Panasonic PV-GS300 or PV-GS500. These camcorders come with 3 CCDs and offer very good image quality.
hope this helps

What computer should I buy for ID5.5?

I have an opportunity to do some work-at-home design using Indesign. The computer I'm using is a tired old PC. Dual 1.8 GHZ, 2 GB RAM.
It runs it but it's not fast.
Any advice on specific machines? I need to keep it under $1K so Mac Pro is out. But how are the minis?
I'm not counting out a new PC either. Just don't know what's good for this work.
I won't be running Photoshop much, maybe a touchup here and there and a little illustration art. But mainly just layout of magazines, newsletters, etc.
Thanks for all input!

5.5 wont be supported if you buy a new mac, and they all come with Yosemite now, and you CAN NOT DOWNGRADE ANY MAC to any OS lower than what it came out of the box with: it will come with Yosemite and that is your only option unless something NEWER comes along, but Macs are UPGRADE ONLY unless you want to break the warranty and hack the API (you can't just stick a disk in there and say "go ahead, I don't care"
Some users are having no issues with Yosemite and CS5.5, however I'm in a dual production crisis with ID5.5 on Yosemite vs ID5.5 on Mavericks on new i7 iMacs I've been supplying to a company. The resize in ID5.5 and Yosemite is so slow it hangs 3 different systems running Yosemite where they become unresponsive for about 10 minutes while the screen refreshes, but that behavior doesn't exist on the systems running Mavericks using the same files. I am looking at either returning those macs or offloading production to other systems but CC is far less of an option than virtualizing Win XP on those macs at this point.

What PSU should i buy?

Hey, i have an important question. I have seen a bunch of posts here on the forum about lack of juice out of PSU's with certain hardware configs....
I think i have the same problems here, flickering textures in games, when playing games they just quit and im back in windows.... and even sometimes it just hangs.... this is only when playing games or 3D rendering in 3D studio max.
Here are my system specs.
ESC K7S6A mainboard (bios version 1.0f )
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
512 MB DDR
WD 40GB/8mb cache (7200rpm)
WD 80GB/2mb cache (7200rpm)
LiteOn CDRW 48x
LiteOn CD/DVD 48x/24x
SB Audigy player 5.1
MSI G4Ti4600-VTD (also tested with MSI G4MX440)
3com Network card 10/100
Microsoft optical mouse
PSU 300w
Windows XP Professional Corp. (NL + SP1)
DirectX 9.0
nVidia 41.09 drivers for WinXP
I think that my PSU is not good (correct me if im wrong), what PSU should i buy with my specs? please give me a brand and typenumber...

Is there any way to check if the power supply is definetly causing problems - I just bought am G4MX440 and after installing it (was using 32meg TNT2), game graphics are all screwey
TO-AOT (blank screen)
Q3 (all i get in the menus is the firey surround 'quake 3')
GTA3 ('bout a hundred tiled menu windows)
After reading many of the posts I assumed it was my power supply, went back to where i bought it (both the pc and the card) to upgrade nah it's the card bring it back.
P4 1.5 on GA-8IDX
SONY DVD
PANASONIC 8*4*32 CD-R/W

directX 8.1 also tried 9
300W psu
3.3 - 14A | 160W combined
5 - 30A |
12 - 15A
These guys are selling all their P4 packages with various G4 and other card with 300W power supplies without issue (or so they say)
so any way to check for sure, will the rails dip significantly? I be grateful for any suggestions caus if i take it back you know it will sit on a shelf for a a few days b4 they get around to it - and i'm itching to try it out....
