  • Testing my Panasonic VDR-D300

    Testing my new Camcorder Panasonic VDR-D300, It’s very good but I had problems to vonvert to AVI. These software has been used for this video: *FlasKMPEG: convert VRO to AVI *Windows Movie Maker: add some effects. *DVD-RAM disc: record the video. The good: Decent low-light performance; vibrant color; solid battery life; acceptable still quality. The bad: Optical zoom is only 10X; no analog input; no video light. The bottom line: Rivaling its MiniDV competitors in a variety of shooting conditions, the Panasonic VDR-D300 doesn’t force you to compromise video quality for the convenience of shooting directly on DVD. Image quality of Panasonic VDR-D300 The Panasonic VDR-D300’s image quality is among the best that we’ve seen in a consumer DVD camcorder. Image sharpness is above average for a DVD camcorder, approaching that of MiniDV cameras such as Panasonic’s PV-GS65. We noticed far fewer video-compression artifacts typical of DVD-based units. Outdoors, video looked very good, with accurate, saturated color and no visible chromatic aberration or color fringing. The only noticeable visual oddities were some very subtle jagged edges we saw when we zoomed in tight on rounded objects. Indoors, the three CCDs come into play to offer far better color in low-light situations than you’d get with single-CCD cameras. In dimly lit rooms, there was noticeable graininess in the footage, but color remained accurate and saturated down to a light level where most single-CCD cameras would be

  • Nikon D90 vs Canon 550D Durability Test (Part 1)*

    People always question how tough the more basic level DSLRs are and treat them like delicate objects. But are they really tough enough to take the abuse that one might give it during daily life? Does a magnesium alloy body mean everything when it comes to “tough bodies”? We take these two DSLRs and put them through some extreme tests that you might possibly be able to relate to during your daily lives. Watch the video to see if they survive these rigorous tests. *As it turned out, the budget of this video was limited, so a 400D was used and Kai’s own Nikon D70.

  • Nikon D60 verses Canon Rebel XS/ Canon EOS 1000d

    Nikon D60 verses the Canon Rebel XS (Canon EOS 1000d). 10 points to compare and contrast the user-friendliness of each. This video looks at the differences in: -changing the settings -flash exp. comp. -WB icons -quietness of camera -focal points -exposure compensation -holds in hand -deleting photos -f-number changes -live view There are more differences that I preferred in either the Canon or Nikon. This is the top 10, with 5 pros for the Canon and 5 for the Nikon. EDIT: Thanks to “joshthegreat666 ” for pointing out a confusing point in my video. Yes, exposure compensation can be changed in manual in both cameras, naturally. When I made this video, I was new to SLRs. The Nikon was obvious on how to use this feature and with the Canon it was a ‘hidden feature’, as I call it. One has to press the shutter button down halfway and than it is possible to see this.

  • Nikon D300 GPS feature walk through

    A demonstration of how the GPS interface works and what to expect. The built-in GPS interface requires the GPS receiver to be set to protocol NEMA IN NEMA OUT. It may require you to purchase two cables. The serial cable for your GPS and the GPS cable for your Camera. The Nikon MC-35 has a male 9 pin serial interface. The company I mention at the end of the video is JOBO.
