Digital Cameras

Yes, when using a 35mm format film, the 50mm prime lens is considered a "normal" or "natural view" lens.

This does not hold true when using a Digital SLR camera (DSLR) because the sensor for most cameras is not 35mm size (36 by 24mm). Entry level and enthusiast level DSLRs often have sensors that are about half size (18 mm wide) and therefore the 50mm lens is equivalent to a slight zoom. A 35mm or 28mm prime lens is closer to that natural view.

Some of the more expensive DSLR cameras have a full size sensor and thus have the same magnification and characteristics of the 35mm film camera.

White balance is the term used to describe how does the camera balance the temperature of the image. As the name suggests, it's balancing the camera to the right temperature of color so that white is white.

Sensors are devices that can take the light let into the camera and convert the bits of data into colored pixels, "digitalizing" it, if you will. The two sensors are CCD (charge coupled device) and CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors. They each have their pros and cons and are used in different cameras for different reasons.

Yes, usually through a USB port. You should check the operating manual of your camera. If you don't have it, try searching the manufacturers web site. When you connect it to the computer most of time your comp will search for software automatically and then you follow the directions given.

Mega is a measurement of million.

Kilo is a measurement of Thousand.

Technically, it's 1024 multiples, not 1000.

Pixel = 1

Kilopixel = 1,024

Megapixel = 1,048,576

Gigapixel = 1,073,741,824

It depends on how many mega pixels your camera is. mine is 13.6 mega pixels, I have a 4 gig card and can only fit about 600 pictures on my card.

Photography is always going to be called "photography"

Pictures are photographs that are framed, and therefore properly developed. "Picture" is the more generic term, and includes any kind of visual representation, whether it is drawn, painted, photographed or produced by some other means. You could even call a naturally produced image a "picture". The word picture can even refer to a memory or mental process that is by nature completely immaterial. "Photograph" virtually always refers to a physical image created with chemical or digital imaging technology.

photography is more than a medium..?

how do I get the manual for amoviepix dv-80

A device that can take pictures and output them to your computer....

It depends on the size of the pictures.

If 1 picture is about 1MB, then 1TB= about one million pictures

A small picture may be 100KB, then 1TB= 10 million pictures.

Disk manufacturers make various claims which depend on the size of picture they think is typical.

One of the lightest digital camera is Casio EXILIM EX-M1 with its weight 86 g, but heaviest body has Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III - 1385 g.

With Canon body one you need some lens too, so with heaviest lens Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS USM (5375 g), the total weight could be 6 kg and 760 g.

So broadly we can say, that digital camera is 0-7 kilograms.

Yes. I've seen the red light cameras in Maryland flash.

Serial numbers are usually on the bottom of the camera. They may be very, very small. Some less-expensive cameras may not have them. If you can't find it, check the manual in the warranty registration section. There should be instructions there for finding it.

All I needed was a USB cable that will fit into the DV outlet on the camera. The camera came with a USB cable that fits into the outlet labeled TO PC, but this only works with PCs, not Macs, so I needed to buy a USB cable that fit into the outlet labeled DV. Then, it worked like a dream. I'm using a Panasonic Palmcorder miniDV Web Camera, Model No PV-DV2020D.

There are several choices available for someone looking to purchase a digital HD Camcorder. One can go online to sites such as E-bay, Amazon, or Craigslist. Someone can go to a store that sells electronics such as Best Buy, Wal-Mart, or Target. Or one can go directly to a manufacturer such as Samsung, Sony, or Panasonic.

If an individual is looking to purchase a new camera, the best places to start would be at discount retailers or sites. Coupons can sometimes be found for digital cameras on the manufacturer's website though it usually has to be purchased from the same webpage. A used digital camera would be a much better deal especially if one can be found at retailers like pawn shops or on eBay.

It can be dangerous, but it is possible. I have lost chargers and had to do it. But I wouldn't recommend it unless you pay close attention to it. The way I do it is I take a phone base. (A cordless phone base). I have 2 pieces of tin foil. I fold both pieces of tin foil so you have 2 long skinny pieces of tin foil, I then place each piece of the tin foil on the metal charging pieces of the wireless phone base. Then place one piece of tin foil on the - and one piece on the + of the battery. I then tape the tin foil to the battery and let it charge. Make sure you pay close attention to the battery so it doesn't over charge and start a fire.

Also, if you have a computer, you can take a USB cord and cut off the part that you would connect to a device (not the USB piece) then carefully separate the red wire and the black wire from the rest, Remove the casing from the wires. Place the red wire on the + on the battery, and then place the black wire on the - on the battery, then tape it on and let it charge, pay close attention, if it gets hot then you did something wrong and immediately remove the battery.

Try your "Save As" function and then where it says "type of file" look for *.jpg or *.jpeg. If it's there then your computer has the software to store the image in that format. If not, you may need to buy software, but most computers read at least jpegs.

A camcorder is a portable electronic device (generally a digital camera) for recording video images and audio onto a storage device. The camcorder contains both camera and recorder in one unit, hence its portmanteau name. This compares to previous technology where they would be separate.

The Wikipedia definition above is traditional definition of a camcorder. Nowadays, camcorder definition is larger and means any devices which can record various format movies. The most popular camcorders are High-definition camcorders.

The first digital camera was made in 1975. The camera weighed 8 pounds, recorded black and white images to a cassette tape, had a resolution of 0.01 megapixels, and took 23 seconds to capture its first image.

There is no such way to avoid parallax error, you just have to be careful.. :)

Nikon D60 is the best alternative for the Canon Rebel XSI.
