These images may be still photographs or moving images such as videos or movies. The term camera comes from the camera obscura (Latin for "dark chamber"), an early mechanism for projecting images. The modern camera evolved from the camera obscura. Cameras may work with the light of the visible spectrum or with other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. A camera generally consists of an enclosed hollow with an opening (aperture) at one end for light to enter, and a recording or viewing surface for capturing the light at the other end. A majority of cameras have a lens positioned in front of the camera's opening to gather the incoming light and focus all or part of the image on the recording surface. Most 20th century cameras used photographic film as a recording surface, while modern ones use an electronic camera sensor. The diameter of the aperture is often controlled by a diaphragm mechanism, but some cameras have a fixed-size aperture. A typical still camera takes one photo each time the user presses the shutter button. A typical movie camera continuously takes 24 film frames per second as long as the user holds down the shutter button, or until the shutter button is pressed a second time. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License what camera should I buy to replace the three I have? Q. I am tired of carrying 3 cameras everywhere I go! I have the following: (1) a small point and shoot digital camera, 2 years old, (needed for its convenient size, instant picture review, and ease of e-mailing pictures), (2) a Minolta Maxuum 35 mm, 17 years old, with various lenses (needed for taking wide angles, telephotos, and doing creative photography that the digital one can't handle), and (3) a digital tape (mini DV) camcorder, 3 years old. I have been carrying all three of them around all week while hiking in the Grand Canyon, and have decided I need to find one camera that will do everything I need! Don't want to spend a fortune, but want something that is fully digital, gives the quality and lens changing options of the Minolta,… [cont.] Asked by Sarah - Mon Aug 20 21:41:09 2007 - - 5 Answers - 1 Comments A. Edit: nvm, the Canon XTi and Nikon D80 do not allow movie clips. The prosumer Canon S5 IS does and it's the best choice after the previous two for photo shooting and versatility that I know of. (It has 12X zoom, it's compact, it has 8 mps, and it's a canon so the image quality should most likely be very good.) I don't think you can change the lens on it though. Use the features search under buying guide on dpreview.com. It's your best bet for a movie camera that allows you to change lens as well. Choose SLR-Like cameras because I didn't see any SLR cameras that allow movie shooting. These should all cost between 400-1000+. I keep editing my answer to your question because it's such a difficult and interesting question. I hope that you… [cont.] Answered by Chivalrous Chubbu - Mon Aug 20 21:51:57 2007 What waterproof digital camera should i get? Q. I am looking at getting a waterproof camera but i don't want to spend to much for it. I will probably buy it on amazon and $100 is about the most i'm willing to pay. I want a digital camera so that i can see my picture before developing them.It doesn't need to be an amazing camera, it just needs to take clear underwater pics and not leak or get ruined in the water. I also don't want a camera that has to be put in a waterproof case.
