Usapang Camera.

greeeaaat... makes me want to throw away my dv... *looks at dv cam*

Throw it in my direction ... hahahaha Free stuff FTW!!!

[oldblue]

Yeah tapes are so fussy...

I don't think I'll buy a digicam without MPEG4 anymore. So far the brands that have it are Kodak, Casio, Pentax, Sanyo and Samsung...

Sony and Canon don't include it because it'll hurt their camcorder sales...

Casios can stretch a 1GB card to 1 hour of 640x480x30fps video at low quality. High quality mode does 30mins per 1GB.

The Kodak advantage is you can zoom while filming. Casios can't, but Casios can take pictures while filming.


*oldblue, have you tried playing it on those MPEG4 DVD players?

the kodak also is also recording * 640x480 30fps. it's the v550 available in kodak stores. no i havent tried yet on mpeg4 dvd players, I played my kodak directly to a 29" JVC TV. hindi sya pixelated.

it's as big as a cellphone. when we're out, I only bring this cam, a 256MB sd card for pics, 2GB for video, an extra batt for video (got it for less than 1k)

sobrang convenient talaga. best of both worlds pa.

OT: does MPEG4 videos captured on digicams have better quality than those captured using a mini dv camcorder? especially when transferred to a DVD?

compared to a mini-dv, mas ok pa din quality ng tape. pero if you'll use it for simple spur of the moments video clips sa family/friends mo, sufficient na sya.

ako kasi I use the hard disk of a computer as my storage. for each 1 hour of vid on a 2GB, guess how much video I can store in a 80gb hdd. yun mini-dv, around 12GB per tape. ubos hdd mo. if you transfer and archive to DVD+R media, coversion takes a little less than 10 minutes. pero sa 12GB mini-dv video na nasa hdd, isang oras mahigit ulit aantayin mo para ma-compress sa DVD+R. sobrang waste of time, no wonder nilalangaw na mga mini-dv tapes sa malls, even yun mga sony na may maliit na dvd-r, useless na yun. mas ok pa yun JVC everio with microdrive

in the future daw, yun plasma or lcd tv, mayroon na lang card reader eh hehehe to play movies and video.

the only problem with the Kodak is it uses MPEG4 quicktime codec. if you're a windows media player fanatic, hindi ata ma-view mga videos. sa Mac no problem! Kodak + Mac like sisters

My older Olympus digicam uses Quicktime codecs too. All you have to do is download Quicktime player for windows from www.apple.com. You don't need to buy a MAC.

any good recommendations para sa 15-18k budget? siguro pwede na rin hanggang 20k kasi kung sa hidalgo ako bibili tapos sale pa daw sa end of september baka maka mura pa. hehehe

TIA

consider the casio z750 among your choices. it has lots of features, most you'd normally find in the more expensive brands..

also, it can record mpeg4 video as long as your SD card can take it (2 hrs for a 2GB SD at good quality setting - if you set to low quality, around double the length pa)

[Psylocke]

It's MPEG4 standard, not necessarily quicktime, there are codecs for almost any platform. Even my Palm device can play it.

[Psylocke]

the kodak also is also recording * 640x480 30fps. it's the v550 available in kodak stores. no i havent tried yet on mpeg4 dvd players, I played my kodak directly to a 29" JVC TV. hindi sya pixelated.

Where did you buy the spare batt? I was about to buy a V530 for my sister but backed out due to poor battery life... The store didn't sell spares

[Psylocke]

*Oldblue check out this gunnar thalin's deshaker plugin, it takes out the shakiness in our videos. Compare:

Guys tulong nman, bigay kayo ng magandang klaseng camera na worth 8,000 to 10,000 na pag kumukuha ka ng pics e parang photoshoot type Any brand would do

At that price range you already have few choices, but with limited features.
Try to buy the T3 Mag, there's lots of options/reviews you can find in there.

Check also the Pentax WPI, its 5MP and its 3-ft deep water proof for 30 min.
I mean as is na siya, no need to buy underwater case.

So many cameras to choose from, so confusing sometimes...

If you get your film by bulk at Hidalgo (kahit 6 rolls lang) the substantial difference in price will put a smile on your face knowing that you've just saved from about 25% (ex. Kodak ISO 200, 36) to 30% (ex. Fujifilm ISO 100, 36) of the films' mall-price. If you have it developed and printed either at Columbia and Konica-Minolta, they give you free film of the same number of exposures.

I envy you, man. The Nikon F100 is a superb camera. I don't think that film will die. It may not be as popular now as digital but it will exist alongside digital for thousands more years, hehehe

yup...I think this is for keeps...I will just buy a digital camera but will keep this one as a souvenir of sorts.....It is well taken care off....and I have a lot of good memories with this camera...yun nga lang ang bigat dala-dalahin....

All Canon A4xx should be avoided...

Most Canon Ixus are all style, no substance...

May I know your reasons for suggesting that all canon A4xx models be avoided?

Zoom range starts very narrow. Not versatile at all. Intentionally crippled by Canon.

yes. i agree. its because they cater to a different market segment, which is the beginner segment.

Thanks for the prompt response. But beyond the narrow zoom range, are there any other negative issues, like lens quality (relative to its price range) or craftsmanship?

Thanks again.

sa website ng compex bumaba na ung casio ex-s600 P15900 na lang. Tama ba ito?

Very limited video.

Other than those it's probably just fine...

Just bought a Sony DSC-W70 for 16K in Quiapo. The newer model W100 costs around 18K. Why Sony? My old digicam is a Sony and I am very satisfied with it.
