Camera

I’m interested in purchasing a polaroid since I love those types of cameras and the look of the photos, I also own a point and shoot but am looking into DSLR cameras as well. My question is which polaroid cameras are really good?

The SX-70 is probably the best quality Polaroid camera produced. Very high quality. The 600 series cameras are also worth looking at. Much cheaper than the SX-70 as well.

I’m thinking about a Canon or a Sony D SLR camera as I am familiar with the fuctions. I’m just confused about which one has better performance and technical aspects.

It’s DSLR, no spaces. Digital Single Lens Reflex.

Canon or Nikon would be the best. There are no cameras that would be made for students, and you could’ve helped us more with the budget and things you’d like

Canon EOS T3, Nikon D3100 are great for the price ~$500 – $650.

Here’s a DSLR Buying Guide – http://www.the-dslr-photographer.com/2009/11/which-dslr-to-buy/

None have better quality or any nonsense as that, it’s more about you.

What camera do you think would be the best camera to use for an unboxing and review video. I already have a desk to put the product on, i already have the lighting, i have the tripod, and even a laptop to edit. Plus a couple mics to commentate the video.

Any camera would work. People are always looking for reviews on every camera or product so there really isn’t one that is better to review than another.

OK, now I’m 13 and for the past year I’ve always been buying computer parts, camera lenses and musical instruments. I mean I have an i7 PC but still not contented, a 600D with a somewhat decent kit lens but still want a better lens, a guitar and a small 5 octave keyboard but still want I bloody real piano.

What should I do to stop this? I can’t say why all of a sudden I want to save money but I really do for a good reason

please help me

Just sell all that stuff except for the things you absolutely cannot get rid of and give your money to an adult you trust to handle.

On many videos that show live performances, such as kpop, there are cameras that would "fly" or rotate around the whole stage or rotate around the performers really quickly and all is done very smoothly. How are the cameras set up?
Flying through as in flying in-between the performers and really close to them without impeding the performance.

they set them up… kind of like how regular people use tripods.. but they have more complex machinery..

So I go to a lot of concerts, and the camera that I have doesn’t make the picture clear whether it be on flash or no flash, or the mode it is on and the zoom sucks (as in the further you zoom in the more grainy, pixaly, blurry the photo gets). I want a camera that takes clear pictures and it looks as though you were right there.

So what type of cameras are good for taking amazing concert shots?
Please and thank you.
I have a Pentax Optio W30 7.1 Megapixals

Canon and Nikon are always good camera brands.

I just got a nikon D3100 camera and it came with 2 lenses:
18-55mm VR Zoom- NIKKOR
and
55-200 VR Zoom- NIKKOR

whats the difference between them and what instance would i use one and not the other?

Put each lens in turn onto the camera and look through the viewfinder whilst adjusting the zoom.

You will see that the 18-55 will let you fit wide views into the photo such as interiors and landscapes.
The 22-200 will bring distant objects closer.

The effect you see in the viewfinder will be the same in the photos

I’m looking into buying an expensive camera and I noticed for nikon they offer a 12-megapixel digital camera for $100 dollars less then a 10.2-megapixel SLR camera.

Since I am Pretty much a camera newbie and really only know the higher the megapixel the better the picture, so my question is what is the difference between the two that I am missing here.

Which do you believe is the better buy?

There is a massive difference in the quality of photos and video when you compare compacts with fixed lenses (regardless of price or brand) and dSLRs. The main reason is the image sensor size not the pixel count.

You can ignore pixel counts because they don’t mean better quality images. A 10 megapixel compact and a 10 megapixel dSLR are very different. The image sensor in a compact is so small, that it would take 12 or more of them to cover the image sensor in an entry level dSLR.

That larger image sensor has less noise, can take cleaner shots in low light, has better dynamic range, detail, color and contrast when compared to the tiny sensor in a compacts, or the even smaller sensors used in cell phone cams.

You can also get compact-ish cameras with large image sensors like the Sony NEX line, 4/3rds cameras from Olympus and Panasonic and the new 1 series from Nikon like the J1. So you are paying for the image sensor, that’s the big difference.

So if video and photo image quality, speed etc is your top priority go with any kind of camera with a large image sensor. If compact size and low cost are your priority, just get a cheap compact.

Soo… I have a school contest. You have to make a film with a specific topic. I have my idea and everything…but I need a camera. I really want it to have awesome quality I already have a standard camera (that like takes pictures and everything, but has a video setting) Do you think a regular camera will be good? Or do you think I should get an actual video camera?If so, do you have any good recommendations? Perferbly something cheap. If you were me, what would you do?

just a standard camera will be fine , make you footage as still as possible , and take your time editing

I am looking for affordable lenses for my Sony F3 Camera. It has a PL Lens Mount. Does anyone know of a good source for lenses that can be used with this camera?

I have ordered several used lenses and camera bodies from KEH, and have never been disappointed. They also have a fair rating system and a good return policy.
