Yes, you must supply your own Digital SLR camera. Algonquin College’s Photography Program provides much of the equipment required, however, as a prerequisite for acceptance to our program you must have as a minimum the following camera and 2 accessories: A good used Nikon D70s digital SLR camera is also fine. If, you shop around you may find a great deal with several lenses at a reasonable price.

SLR is a Single Lens Reflex camera. The single lens part refers to the fact that it is using a single lens for capturing images and displaying on the viewfinder. The reflex part refers to the use of some mechanism for reflecting light towards the viewfinder. SLR is a preferred style of camera because it allows the photographer to see exactly what will be captured by the film or sensor without any parallax or distortion.

The good news is, unless you are shooting close-up pictures of jewelry, you don't need an expensive camera to take good product shots. If you are shooting pictures for use on websites and not for print, you can get a good camera for less than $200. The quality of your images is going to depend much less on the sophistication of your camera and much more on your lighting and how well you operate the camera.

A Point-and-Shoot digital camera is an all-in-one camera: the lens and flash are built in. An SLR digital camera looks and functions just like a 35mm camera body. You may interchange lenses and flashes with compatible accessories.

While they're more expensive and still considerably larger than point & shoot cameras, digital SLRs offer more control over the picture-taking process including extensive exposure adjustment, quicker shutter response time with virtually no lag, and the benefits of detachable lenses. Most importantly, digital SLRs are the camera of choice for serious photographers because they allow for more flexibility and creativity while offering generally superior picture quality.

At the highest resolution the SD-14 produces files of about 13 megabytes, in RAW format. Medium resolution produces about 6.6 megabyte files, and the lowest resolution about 3.3 megabyte files. In JPEG mode, the file size range from about 7.5MB to as small as .3 MB

No! Digital cameras are nice, but not necessary. Pictures taken with a good quality camera are fine and can be scanned in with a scanner. If you prefer, many drug stores and other photo processing centers can digitize your picture -- put your pictures on a floppy disk or CDROM -- for a few extra dollars. For easy uploading, make sure they store pictures in the jpeg format.

No. Although digital cameras are convenient, you can scan your film camera negatives or prints and submit the files to Image Showcase. There is no denying the convenience of digital cameras and the turn-around time of the results they produce, but film cameras still have a lot going for them - especially if you have a large collection of images on film and are used to making images this way. The benefits of a film camera is that you can scan the negative to almost whatever digital size you like.

You need some way of getting a JPEG or GIF file (an image file) onto your computer. The image file can be on your desktop, your hard drive, a floppy, ZIP disk, CD, or any other "drive". The file can come from a scanner, digital camera, video camera, a photo CD or disk (from your photo processor), from an email (if you have a friend who can send you your images), or from a website.

You can use any VHS, S-VHS, 8mm, Hi-8 or digital camera that has a "video out" port. Most VHS, S-VHS, and 8mm camcorders come with a RCA out. This works good. Hi-8 and digital camcorders usually have a s-video out port. This is better. If your camera is a digital camera, we will use the firewire port. This is the BEST. The other key factor to check on your camera is that it has a manually adjustable shutter speed. We recommend at least 1/1000th and up.

One major upgrade needed by almost all digital cameras is a higher capacity memory card. You should buy as large a...

Spare batteries and media cards/storage are must-haves. Here are my accessories - roughly, in order of importance: Recharger and spare set of rechargable batteries/power supply. 2200 mAh batteries are best (if your camera takes AA-type batteries). A quick charger that allows both slow and fast charging (slow preserves battery life; fast charges them within an hour when you're pressed for time) is great -- and they often come with car adapters. Extra media storage.

In an SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera, the user is seeing exactly what the camera is seeing through a series of...

The "SLR" part of Digital SLR stands for "single lens reflex," a camera system in which light passes through the lens and is reflected by a mirror to the camera's optical viewfinder, giving the user a clear image of their subject. When the shutter is pressed on a DSLR, the mirror flips out of the way and the image is projected onto an imaging sensor to "capture" the picture. (In a traditional SLR, the image is projected onto film.)

Depends on your budget and what kind of system you have currently. If you don’t have much invested in film then the whole D-SLR market is open to you, but if you’re already heavily invested in Nikon, Canon, or Pentax lenses, then it makes obvious sense to review what these brands have available. Pentax only offers the one body at this time, whereas Nikon and Canon have a range of bodies with varying resolution and performance specifications.

Some cameras are designed for this, so you should check your manual. It's rare to find this feature in high quality digital cameras, but lower quality multifunction cameras with CMOS sensors sometimes offer this. See, for example, AipTek. If your camera doesn't already support some webcam features, you may still be able to do it if you have a video capture card (or USB device) of some kind, by connecting the video out from your camera to the video in on your PC.

unlimited number of images can be shot, if sufficient storage is available. That means if you don't like one picture, just reshoot it. Film deteriorates and fades; digital images don't. A digital photo stored to disk will never fade, yellow, wrinkle, or scratch. The disk might fail, and that particular version may be lost, but if you can recover it, it looks as good as the original. With film, there is just one original.

PENTAX bundles each digital product with everything you need to start using the product right away. However, a variety of optional and replacement accessories are available to help make your picture taking experience even more convenient. For example, many users purchase a spare rechargeable battery (or an AA battery charger depending on your camera model). AC adapters, cases, and replacement cables are also available. PENTAX offers a waterproof casing for the 430RS to allow use it underwater.

With the addition of an accessory cable (which is not included with the MicroSync?), the MicroSync? transmitter and receiver can be used to remotely fire most SLR cameras. Your SLR camera must have an electronic shutter release input (which most modern, professional cameras have). The SLR camera that you have determines which cable that you need to connect the MicroSync? receiver to your camera's electronic shutter release input.

It depends. Are you going to view images on a computer monitor? If so you will only need 1024 x 768 or about 3/4 of a Megapixel. Are you going to print the images? If so, how big and at what resolution. To print an 8x10 at a good resolution, you will need at least 3 Megapixels. Fortunately, most all digital cameras today have resolution at this level. What if your camera has more than three megapixels? You may want to dial back the resolution to make the files smaller and more managable.

No. You can take pictures with a normal film camera and then ask your local camera store to put the images on to a Photo CD. You can then upload images directly from the CD. Images stored on a Picture CD are usually at a resolution of approx 1024 x 1536 pixels (this is the width and height of the image) and in JPEG format. Mention that you require the images to be viewed on your PC. The quality of the pictures will be far better than is required to be viewed on the internet.
