Here are some more information for Slr Pro:

Canon video cameras are amongst the best and most sought after camcorders on the market, and they have been for well over a decade. No matter what can be said of individual models, their product as a whole is known to be solidly built, user friendly, and have top notch components. Canon video camera lenses and their image processors are built and designed to meet the needs and expectations of consumers today.

Finding the right Canon video camera for yourself can be hard though. Unlike many other brands, Canon tends to release new models frequently and they also have a whole slew of video cameras available on the market at any given time. Add to this the overstock most stores will have carrying over from year to year and the result is more selection than you'll know what to do with.

When the time comes to start narrowing down your search, there are many places to get your information from. Magazines are other sources for professional reviews are great, as is the input from store clerks and even from the manufacture's website and brochures as well. If you're looking for Canon video camera reviews though, one of the best sources is from other consumers just like you.

The internet has brought about a whole revolution on how consumers can leave feedback after using a product and video cameras are no exception. There is blog upon blog dedicated to video cameras where average consumers can weigh in with their opinions. For that matter, there are blogs on video editing and other such things that provide reviews of specific video cameras as well, and of course this isn't just for Canon.

Another great place to find user reviews is on the websites of the very stores that sell the products. It's becoming increasingly common for these sites to open themselves up to user feedback, good or bad, which actually tends to work out in the store's favour either way.

Consumer reviews like this can be a lot better for research purposes than other reviews. More so than the typical pro reviews that you can find in magazines and webzines; consumer feedback tends to be direct and to the point. They don't hide under fancy language or high tech terminology. In many cases the reviews are quite short as well and you can take a lot more in that way.

Another great thing about this time of video camera reviewing is that it's done by people who are using the camera in the ways it was intended to be used. They aren't putting it through a bunch of standardized tests or mechanically shifting from one feature to the next. This means the feedback and rating they give won't be based on a whole bunch of things you don't care about.

Lastly, if there is a common problem with the Canon video camera you are considering, you can be sure that there are many people screaming about it on the internet. If you can't find a whole bunch of comments loudly chanting that a certain something is wrong with the video camera, you can be pretty assured that you won't find much wrong with it either.

Digital Slr Or Compact Camera You Decide?

One of my hobbies is photography. Now I'm no professional but I enjoy taking good professional quality photos. I had to weigh up whether to go for a compact digital camera or a Digital SLR. I was fortunate back in the eighties to own a 35mm SLR camera. The picture quality was fantastic. Much better than that of a compact camera. The ability to alter settings and change lenses to pull subjects closer or move them away was far superior to that of the compact 35mm camera.Fast forward to today and not a lot has changed. The Digital compact cameras quality has gained a great deal on the Digital SLR but is still behind, in my opinion.

 Both benefit in the fact you can see the result instantly after the shot has been taken but the DLSR is far superior in the ability to change that shot, on the spot and in so many ways. One thing with the compacts is the lack of depth of field. You take the picture and the whole picture will try it's best to be in focus. With DSLR you can have the subject in focus and blur the background which creates very simple but effective results.I use a DSLR - Canon EOS 400D. I have had this for 18 months so has now been surpassed in the Canon range. It doesn't have 'Live View' which means you have to compose the shot through the view finder. However the newer Canons have this now. It came with a 18mm-55mm standard Canon lens but also in the package was a Tamron 200mm Zoom Lens. I bought a Lowepro Slingshot A100W bag and SanDisk 4GB Compact Flash Card, separately.

Out of the box you can stick it on auto and never leave that setting if you want to. However this defeats the object of having so much power and scope over your shots by using the auto setting. Remember it's digital so you can experiment over and over again with different settings until you get it bang on. If you were to leave it on auto forever you might as well buy a compact camera.The clarity of the shot has to be seen to be believed. At 10.1MP you have a serious camera that gives you nigh on professional results. Many Professionals that have the top end of the Canon EOS range at £5,000 plus would tell you different. Remember they have to justify the £5000 plus price tag so they will find the tiniest detail different but to you and me the pictures look near enough the same.

 I went to Turkey in the summer and the pictures I took with my camera I could never have achieved with a compact camera. The scenery was a photographers dream and I managed to fill the 4GB card with top quality pictures. The ability to capture in RAW is also a bonus fo the semi-serious photographer. With RAW there is no compression like with JPEG and it's as it says the RAW picture.You have the option to change the white balance when your back on the computer. Yes you can bodge it up when it's a JPEG but is no where near as effective as RAW. Give it go yourself.

 The darkroom side of it is up to you. I use Adobe Photoshop. It cost approx £500 but is what the pros use. There are loads of magazines out there with tips on how to use Photoshop but I recommend getting a decent book on it. It is a huge piece of software but you can make dreamy portraits and Andy Warhole popart with a little practice and tuition. There is also Photoshop Elements for under £100 but I understand that this is a scaled down version of the Professional version and would be good for the begginer to intermediate.

 Your friends and family might scoff at you with your bigger camera and bag and some might say 'what do you want all that for when you can get a camera that fits in your pocket'. Believe me when they see your laptop slideshow through an HDTV they will be green with envy and clambering to copy your photos or even buy them.

 All in all my Canon EOS 400D might be old at 18months old but will be staying with me for some years to come. I can live with shooting through the viewfinder. Maybe your so used to the new cameras that you need to hold the camera out in front of you. The choice is yours.

What are some pros/cons for the Sony Alpha 200 SLR camera?

i'm new to the proffesional camera business, and im wondering if this would be a great 'begginner' camera for me.
Also, if anyone owns this camera, can you tell me some pro's and con's about it?

Thanks in Advance.

IMO the best feature of the A200 is the in-camera image stabilization. Plus the fact that Sony has a Carl Zeiss T* line of lenses. Also, the ability to use every legacy Minolta Maxxum AF lens made since 1985 is a major plus.

Cons?

You'll never have to pay for image stabilization when you buy a lens.

You'll be different from the Nikon/Canon herd.
