Many manufacturers offer proprietary lithium ion battery systems with their cameras. These are very sophisticated batteries with very long life. Sony's Infolithium battery system is perhaps the best example of this technology. In addition to offering very long life, this system can give an accurate measurement of the amount of operating time left on a charge. The negative side of lithium ion battery systems is that these proprietary systems tend to be very expensive.

Popular alkaline batteries are inexpensive and can be found anywhere, but their power is consumed at a rapid rate. If you're using all of your camera's features, you can deplete a set of alkaline batteries in about 30 minutes! You should consider spending a little more up front for a battery charger and some rechargeable batteries. Many cameras (including many HP Photosmart digital cameras) work with the popular, rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.

You can use any digital camera that can upload files to a computer in the formats supported by IMAGE STUDIO (BMP, JPEG, PNG and GIF). Please check the file format of the digital camera and the application software supplied with it. (In some cases you may need separate software for file conversion.) long as the image file format is supported by IMAGE STUDIO, you can use it regardless of your digital camera's resolution.

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.

AA rechargeable NiMH batteries, 4 AA rechargeable NiCad batteries, 4 single-use AA alkaline batteries, or 4 single-use AA lithium batteries. To avoid the danger of fire or explosion, do not mix different types of batteries. I've formatted my 16MB CompactFlash card in the camera but the pictures stop advancing after a while.

The features that make a good camera for product photography are not necessarily the features that are important for other types of photography like portraits or everyday family photos. That's not to say that the camera you choose for product photography won't work well for other uses, but you may weight the relative importance of the various features differently.

Any good still camera with S-Video will be okay. You will also need a video card with the S-Video / Composite input (for example Radeon 9200) or a USB adapter(for example Belkin F5U208).

Up until March 29, 2004 I was using an old Fuji FinePix 1400 Zoom digital camera (1.3 MP). On March 29, 2004 I began using a Fuji S7000 digital camera (6.6 MP). I love the new camera. Back to index

You can use any digital video camera that can upload files to a computer in the format supported by IMAGE STUDIO (AVI). Please check the file format of the digital video camera and the application software supplied with it. (In some cases you may need separate software for file conversion.)

Two kinds of batteries are widely available: Ni-CD (Nickel Cadmium) and Ni-MH (Nickel-Metal Hydride). There is a third type of rechargeable battery, Lithium Ion, that is becoming increasingly popular.The advantage of a Lithium Ion battery is that it offers better performance than the other two types. The disadvantage is that they do not come in the standard AA battery size, so you can''t use them with most cameras.

Unfortunately, it is. Digital cameras use alkaline batteries at a shockingly fast rate. (For an explanation why, see the following question). If you are using lots of alkaline batteries for your electronic devices you'll probably want to switch to rechargeable NiMH batteries ASAP. Not only will the NiMH batteries power a digital camera (or most other electronic devices) much longer than alkaline batteries will, but they are much less expensive to use.

The Kodak DC40 digital camera is available to GVU and CoC faculty, staff and students. The camera can be reserved and obtained in the GVU Front Office (Room CoC 242, 894-0075).

Probably, but depending upon your camera's support for standard external flashes, it may require some persistence and some workarounds:

All events we covered are taken with professional grade lenses and digital cameras. With a resolution of at least 2160x1440 pixels, 12-bit color capture, the images the camera captures can produce prints surpassing 35mm quality at 8x10 and even excellent prints at 11x14 and beyond. We will be happy to show you the quality of the larger prints, just contact us for a demonstration.

Although the small size of the individual pixels in CCD, CMOS, and Live-MOS image sensors enables them to capture even more detail than film, the sensitivity of the sensor elements is highly directional. That is, they respond best to light that strikes the elements straight on. With lenses designed for use with film, the light rays passing through the periphery of the lens strike the image sensor at an angle, and this tends to degrade picture quality at the periphery of the image area.

On Europe, Asia, and Latin American and all local transport tours, these facilities will be available in your hotel rooms. Remember to bring your adapters! For overland truck tours, you are unable to charge these on the truck. However, there are facilities en-route and at various campsites where you will have this opportunity. We advise to bring spares though!

The one that suits your needs!" Digital photographers require different features. These are noted on the specification lists on this site under each camera description. If you need help in choosing the right camera for your needs, read all of the specs and FAQ's, then give us a call. Ask for a sales rep in the digital department and tell him or her exactly what you want to be able to do with the camera and any special needs or applications.

batteries or alkaline batteries, the camera may turn off without displaying the battery level warning. With some type of alkaline batteries the camera will not turn on at all. (CRV3 cannot be used in the C-370 Camera)

We use Canon and Nikon 35mm-style digital SLR camera bodies and SLR-compatible lenses for all of our work, but these are generally too expensive for the average user. For digital cameras under $1,000 we have been impressed by the Nikon Coolpix and Minolta D'Image series of cameras.

I used the Minolta Freedom Escort QD 35mm for most of the trip. I also took pics with a Kodak disposable camera or two. About 90% of the shots in Romania were taken with my Romanian friend's digital camera. If you are curious what other things I brought with me on my 77-day European Pilgrimage, check out this page for what I packed.

All of today's cameras accept flash memory cards, such as a Memory Stick, CompactFlash card, or SD (Secure Digital) card. Plus, some cameras also come with embedded flash memory that allows you to store a handful of high-resolution photos. Whatever kind of memory a digital camera uses is reusable, meaning you can transfer or delete the images on it, then use it again for picture storage.

Car batteries or marine batteries are not recommended; use the heavy duty deep cycle Trojan 6 volt batteries, or the heavy duty deep cycle 2 volt commercial batteries, or similar batteries. Typically, 6 volt 220 amp hour golf cart or 395 amp hr deep cycle L-16 's are put together in series for 12, 24, or 48 volt strings and in parallel strings to increase amperage. Water Miser safety vents are recommended on these batteries as water recyclers.
