Camera

digital cameras now just keep upping the mp’s. i was just curious how many mps pictures were before i had my digital camera and used the film i had to get developed?
in terms of quality, how many mps is equivalent.

Zero. Pixels (short for Picture Element) are only applicable to digital cameras. Film has light sensitive particles in it called "grain".

Cameras that used film did not have to be replaced very often unless they wore out … usually in about 30 to 40 years. All the technology was in the film. Every few years, new, better film was made. So a $1,000 35 mm camera really never had to be replaced unless you broke it.

Now since the technology is in the camera, you have to spend about $5,000 every two years to get the new technology. Who says digital is cheap? You can buy a lot of film for $5,000 … double that if you are a pro and need two cameras.

Here is the difference between a pro DSLR and entry level DSLR, side by side

You can see why pros buy pro cameras. Their performance in the critical Colour depth, Dynamic range and Low-light ISO is unsurpassed … until the next technology is released

If you like, you can digitize your film using a high quality film scanner. When I scan mine on my Nikon film scanner, I can get image files from 35 mm film that are 4,000 x 5,904 pixels or about 24 mp. If I scan my 6×6 cm images from my old Hasselblad, I can get image files that are 8,964 x 8,964 pixels or about 80 mp

The Bushnell Trophy cam uses SD cards, and so does my camera. My camera also has a preview screen. I want to use a digital camera to view the pictures taken by the Bushnell Trophy cam, but they don’t see it. Is there a digital camera that will work?
I found it! A Kodak EasyShare model c315 will view the pictures!

My friend had the same problem. He ended up calling the manufacturer.

You might try formatting the sd card in your camera first, apparently Bushnell uses either a FAT 16 or FAT 12 file system.

To quote their manual "You don’t need to be concerned about the file system format of the
BUSHNELL TROPHY CAM unless you have problems with reading the SD
card by your equipment. If this happens, please format the SD card in a
BUSHNELL TROPHY CAM or in a computer at first and then insert the card
into your camera to make a try."

Bushnell’s number is (800) 423-3537, I’m sure they would know!

so what kind of camera do you have? do you like the quality of pictures? are they really clear? i currently have one of those Olympus underwater cameras and while it is virtually indestructible i have had to sacrifice on the quality of the images
I’m looking to get a camera within the next couple months. from your own experience, what point and shoot camera takes the clearest photo:
also what high zoom digital cameras have the clearest or highest quality photos. i’m really not looking to spend more then a grand on a camera.
i appreciate your input or advice

I am 14 and I want to be a Movie Director when I get older. I have been looking at cameras for a while now and have bought quite a few, but none have worked well enough. My friends and I make videos for contests and I’ve been trying to introduce myself to the directing world.

Im looking for a camera that is within a reasonable price range, also any video editing software tips would be nice too. I would like to buy a camera that takes pictures and records video, but a camcorder would be fine too.

you can consider buying Sony HDR-FX7 3-CMOS Sensor HDV High-Definition Handycam Camcorder with 20x Optical Zoom

Onward we go to the compact cameras that I’ve found with a built-in interval timer (intervolometer). Please add to the list in the comments! I’m always looking for more compacts that have timers. Sorry that I lingered on the almost impossible to find Epsons but they served some other important points.

Updated: See how we did it here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTG58zlBlE8

OUR CHALLENGE: GUESS HOW WE DID THIS. This clip was shot on an I8910 HD phone, a new camera phone just released by Samsung with an 8 megapixel camera that can actually record and output video in HD format. It was shot in one take, with no post production or special effects of any kind. Everything you see here was done “in-camera”. Our challenge to you is to figure out how we did it. Hint: it’s worth watching in HD…
