<p>My new <strong>Kodak zI8</strong> pocket video camera is wonderful in many ways. BUT the zoom stops-and-starts, and produces a squeak that is picked up on the audio track. Has anybody else had this experience? (I haven't seen it referenced in reviews.) Is it just a glitch in my camera, or a flaw with the model? Other than return it, any recommended self-administered fixes? Thanks!</p>

<p>There are several Digital SLR cameras on the market now that record HD video. I'd like to hear from people that have one why they like the one they use. --How is the sound? --Does it take a mic? --Any issues with importing the video into FCP? --Is the camera too shaky? --What lens do you like best? --Anything else I should look for when I buy one?</p>

<p>I would rather not use a green screen for this.</p>

<p>Hi, </p> <p>My question is about photo cameras. </p> <p>Is it reasonable to plan to shoot a short movie with a reflex camera like the Nikon D90 or the Nikon D5000? </p> <p>Can they be used for this?</p> <p>Thank you ! All the best. </p>

<p>I have a compact still camera (Ricoh GR1) that I'm using for some simple video projects. I'm wondering if I have any options to add the perception of nice depth of field after the video has been shot-- is this possible? Practical? What would I need to do that?</p>

<p>I work for a small nonprofit and we're just starting to explore how to use video in our communications and program work. I'm trying to decide what kind of camera to get for us. Ive heard a lot about Flip cameras, so I'm wondering if they're worth the ease of use? Would I be better off shooting on mini dv and then digitizing it?</p>

<p>simple mobile video lifecasting in the field (on-the-street) in real-time with a DV cam calls for a mobile broadband provider capable, persistent, reliable and dependable for minimum upload rate of 200Kbps for 320x240 at 11 FPS with decent audio. EVDO frequently drops below that rate, causing loss of stream. Worse yet, SprintPCS EVDO is limited to 5GB per month before the usurious overcharges kick in.</p> <p>How are you overcoming these issues?</p>

<p>Does the HPX170's HD quality match or exceed that of the HVX200? </p> <p>I was just curious if anyone has had a chance to field test these two cameras against each other. I am aware that the HVX200 has the tape bay and the HPX170 does not. I'm not interested in the SD qualities.</p> <p>Has anyone found links to footage of side by side comparisons?</p> <p>I was told the plastic for the HPX170's body seemed much cheaper and flimsier than that of the HVX200. Is this true? </p> <p>Lastly, can the lense adaptors for the HVX200 work with the HPX170?</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

<p>My company is interested in live streaming. Up until now the HF200 has served us well to record footage, but now they want to broadcast live.</p> <p>I can't get the computer to recognize the camera unless it's in playback mode.</p>

<p>I've been allocated a paltry $1700 to but a laptop and a video camera for a series of videos profiling people at a local company. I've done a lot of still photography, but I'm not really a video expert yet. From what I've read and even from questions on this site, it sounds like Macs generally have better and simpler video editing software and video workflow in general, so I'd love to get a mac to edit with. </p> <p>But here's the dilemma: I could get a basic macbook for $1000 and then have about $700 left for a camera and accessories, or I could get a windows laptop for basically $600 and get a way nicer camera (it needs to be a laptop, btw). I'm not sure which (a better camera or a mac) is going to help me get to a better end product / make my life easier.</p> <p>How much difference does a mac make? How much better result will I get from spending an extra $400 on a nicer camera? I want these profiles to look as professional as possible.</p>
