Video-capture capability is now available in selected models of cellphones, digicams, and other portable consumer electronic devices such as media players. Typically only digital cameras offer videos that are of useful quality for anything other than a novelty. The marketing approach is to claim 320 X 240 video is “VHS quality,” and 640 X 480 video is “DVD quality.” A few cameras can offer 800 X 600 resolution, and a recent development is High Definition (720p) in cameras such as the Sanyo Xacti HD1.

All are limited somewhat by having to serve as both cameras and camcorders. Compared to a dedicated camcorder they have poor low light performance, limited options, and many do not offer zoom during filming. (This is because the noise from the zooming motor is heard on the clip, only a few digicams have a manual zoom.) Many either have fixed focus lenses, or autofocus lenses that are sluggish and noisy compared to a camcorder.

The quality varies widely depending on the compression format used and the type of device. Frame rates can range from 30 FPS down to 10 FPS, or can be variable, slowing down in dark settings. The length of clips can also vary from “unlimited” (up to the capacity of the storage media) down to a few minutes.

Is this camera for sale ad. too good to be true? Need help.?

Question by Enrico: Is this camera for sale ad. too good to be true? Need help.?
Ok, I’ve been looking for a Nikon D3 and I found this ad from a seller on ebay. He wants $ 2,200 and that seems low. It looks quite sketchy and it seems to be a fraud but I’m no entirely sure so I’m seeking some advice. The seller has 99.8% positive feedback but he mostly sells items from Ikea so that doesn’t add up as well.
Anyway, thanks in advance!

I bought this book yesterday, and I’m looking forward to making my way through it. I plan on reading it carefully. Much of it is familiar, but the new bits of knowledge I’ve already picked up are helpful ones. I started a Google Document so that I can keep track of what I’m learning from the book and refer to it as a study guide.

By the end of this year, I intend on being a much better photographer than I currently am. That is going to require a lot of practice and a lot of study, and I’m ready for the challenge.
