A digital format camerea (Digital8 or MiniDV) allows you to hook the camera to your computer, download the footage and edit it easily. Analogue cameras like the Hi8 one you linked to CAN transfer to...
The biggest problem with dirt cheap tripods is that compromises have to be made in order to make it cheap also doom it to mediocrity in actual use.. Usually, it is in the smoothness of the panhead...
I am using the Lowepro Edit 160 (http://www.lowepro.com/pages/series/edit/edit160.html) and I love it. The charger and other power paraphenalia tucks into a copartment underneath, and the front...
I like the Slik EZ-Pod. It has a quick release, and I like the easily adjustable spring loaded top section. It is fairly compact when completely collapsed as well. I just wish it used the same...
With the 4:1:1 signal of most consumer cameras, keying can be a terribly strenuous task. It is not impossible, but you certainly dont want to try it with a single chip...
I dont see them coming up with an FCE HD. I can see FCE3, with some added functionality (batch capturing, etc.), but Apple generally doesnt add the higer end functionality in order to keep the...
I am not sure you can. I believe you either capture the whole thing, or scrub through your footage and mark and import the parts you want. Sadly, FCE does not offer batch capture, so you have to...
Side by side, even the relatively small difference seems like a lot. However, in the hand, there really isnt a lot of difference. I actually found that the GS200 seems a little small for my...
my job is conspiring to keep me from getting any decent footage with my new baby! :( When a customer wants to spend 2000 dollars, you cant run off to take pictures of cars and girls, so I missed my...
No, I havent forgotten. I have just been amazingly busy with work, and not had a chance to shoot anything I would care to share. Cars driving by my house are not that interesting, I am afraid. ...
Panasonic Canada lists the GS400 as having Mega Optical Image Stabilization. Panasonic US lists it the same way. I would say they just left the EIS deignation for the stabilizer in the menu,...
Pretty much any computer store or electronics retailer will carry what you need. Usually a 4-6 pin Firewire cable, and if you computer does not have it, a Firewire PCI card.
that's exactly it, freako. A bitstream is a bitstream. If you get a lot of drop outs, you might want to try a better cable, but I cant see ever needing a 50 dollar "Monster" cable. Now, speaker...
I would think a Canon XL1S would be a huge improvement in virtually every realm over a TRV730. And since the XL2 will release very soon, I suspect that you might find some really good deals on...
