Canon XL1S MiniDV Digital Camcorder |
Small enough to carry around and costing not much more than a top-of-the-line consumer camcorder, the XL1S produces such high-quality results that it is sure to be the top choice for many independent filmmakers who demand full features and controls. Like its predecessor, the XL1, this camera uses three separate 270,000 pixel CCDs (one for each primary color) for the best picture quality. The XL1S records digital audio, with two channels of 16 bit/48 KHz sound or four channels of 12 bit/32 KHz sound. The body is based on a magnesium-alloy frame for maximum durability. It ships with a 16x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilization, but is also compatible with other XL camcorder lenses. With an optional adapter, you can use Canon EF (EOS) still-camera lenses--some of which also featu.. |

Whats with bonehead "and now, only as Canon can do it better they are coming out with Canon XL2 in Feb 2004"...? people are just making stuff up about the fictional XL2.

CX6330 review from a new digital camera user (

Rating
: 40/50
)
I love this cameras features for the price. What I am not thrilled with is the Kodak Easy Share software. The cd bruner for my 2 month old computer is not compatible with the Kodak software that came with the camera, or the latest software available to download on Kodaks web site. I can still burn m..

Real World Digital Photography |
The title of Real World Digital Photography doesnt adequately indicate the scope and sheer practical usefulness of the information within. The book not only gives a clear breakdown of how to choose and use a digital camera, it also covers everything from sound photographic advice (lighting, framing, and cropping) to manipulation of digital images (primarily in Photoshop). This latter section is especially well-written, covering everything necessary for color correction: levels, histograms, the unsharp mask filter--all explained clearly but without an overwhelming amount of detail. This book is aimed at neither the casual consumer nor the professional digital photographer with $50,000 to spend. Rather, it is perfect for several types of professionals: graphic designers, design stu.. |

I have to disagree with a previous reviewer who said not to buy the book unless you own or plan to buy the same camera and software that the author uses. For one, you dont have to buy the software the author uses because THE SOFTWARE COMES WITH THE BOOK. Yes, free software! And that software is Phot..

Ive been a user of Photoshop Elements (1.0) for about 6 months. In addition to providing hidden tools within Elements (curves, channels, masks) this book provides good tips and suggestions for general digital photo editing and enhancements. The book is very detailed, but the accompanying cd provides..
