I took over 200 pics with my 200 last month, wife took four rolls of film with the 35mm before it broke. The 200 is a nice camera back up. I also find it hard trying to juggle two cameras, so I take...
I had a similar situation- buy the 200 or wait for the 400. The 400 wouldn't be available until the week after I got back from a two week vacation. So, I bought the 200.
I know little about the 250....
The SSM mic will record your voice in surround sound. Played back, the inverviewees voice will come from the front speakers of your HT and your voice will come from the back. If you want more...
Oh, I am sorry, forgot to say... I used teh SSM mic from reasonproducts. Sometimes I wished I had a couple to sell to curious strangers.
If you're going to the electronics show, I appreciate it if...
I just got back from a carribean cruise to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel last night. I have to tell you, sometimes I record stuff I normally wouldn't record simply because I want to see how cool...
I have posted a while back about this. When I first got my 200, I was disappointed by the mediocre sound quality of the mics. In essence, it was two channel mono. See for yourself- play your...
I have gotten bad pics and good pics from the 200. If the light is low, they'll look grainy whatever you do. However, I have gotten some pretty good outdoor shots. The other hint is do use only the...
I love the digital zoom, but I never record with it> WHat do I use it for? A telescope!
For example, I am walking along the street and I see a street far ahead. Is it the right street or am I going...
I got a bu21 battery for $60 mailorder. I think it's made by a company called "High Capacity", or soemthing like that. A little label on it says that the lion cells were made in Japan, the battery...
Rhe Sony Vaio inluded software also burns to Mpeg2.Here's how it works, as far as I can tell:
Sony Vaio software
PV200 cam- DV output-hard drive-mpeg conversion- DVD
If you've read my posts, you'll see that I have said that the pv 200 can take some great pics with the circumstances.I am probably the biggest sujpporter of the 200's pic taking abilities. However,...
There are only two companies that make surround sound mics. One makes some real nice ones that start at $3K. The other is reasonproducts.com, which sells a little ssm that mounts on the camera for...
I think the mic is junk. I have used in it 'Vegas (hell, I live in NV!) and if you didn't get wind noise, it must have been a flukey still day. I can get wind noise real easily, and the filter...
I like using the SSM mic. It did a good job of picking up the ambient sounds in the jungle of Belize. Also, if you talk (like narrate), your voice will come out of the rear speakers during playback...
I considered both. Now, I am glad, super glad, that I didn't get DVD.
DV is cheaper and offers better pq. Sound? They should be the same, but the big variable is that most cameras have poor mics.
I...
In an echoey environment, even a super directional will pick up echo.
I recomend SSM surround sound mic, from real products (I think that's their name) for $60. It is about the size of a half dollar,...
Get a UV filter and a polarizer.
The UV filter will protect the lens. I got one on sale at Best Buy for $3.
The polarizer will really help bring out colors I used it in Cozumel and it really helped ...
