I'm not really sure where else to post this query.

Has anyone used an infrared filter on their camcorder or digital cam? I've been looking for one,and it seems like there's a specific size the filter must be,in order to work properly.
Any inputs on this?

You want to shoot IR? For your camcorder you will be able to do so only if you have nightshot.
For digicam your camera should be able to take 30 sec exposures or more.

Hey folks! Me dummy dummy when it comes to cameras and am looking to buy a new digital camera. The most important criteria is ease of use and good picture quality.

A recent visit to one of the digital shops in Noida had me drooling over the Cybershot T70 but the price was quite oomph (20k).

Please suggest a good buy below 15k.

How do the Cannon/Coolpix (Nikkon)/Sony Cybershot compare?

Also by what factor would it be cheaper to buy a camera from US as compared to India?

Kodak digital Camara C763 not good.

I am not convinced with kodak battery and picture quality of Kodak digi cam C763 which i baught few months back.

Even after full charge its getting switch off once a while taking photos. Picture quality is no where comparable with Canoon, Fuji Film digital camaras.

I am soon planning to buy Canoon or Fuji film digi cam.

Regards,

Ravi.

Sorry, i am mot aware of chennai, even for bangalore I had to ask for others help here. Since you have already posted, members aware about chennai grey markets can help you here.

You can also check on ebay, I saw some ppl from chennai selling on ebay, you can opt for COD, so that you can check.

Hi,

I need your advices on my digital camera. The Specs are as below.
MAKE: OLYMPUS.
Model: C-310 Zoom (Olympus Camedia D-540 Zoom)
3.2 m.p
3x Op. zoom (f-2.9~5)
1.8" LCD screen.
Super macro mode (shooting from as close as 2 cm)
5 scene program.
Movie recording.
16MB memory card.

This camera is around 4 years old. I want to exchange this camera to any new make with higher specs. Can this be done ion Bangalore. If yes, then what shop. OR can I put in more memory card. I went to GKVale and he was of the opinion that I canot use higher memory card for this camera. Do you guys got any idea on this.

Nowadays, there are lot of advts in paper that Kodak cameras as they are selling as lesser rates. How is the quality/picture of Kodak Camera? Is it reliable?

Need your advice.

Kodak cameras aint that good for picture quality.. My friend had and she broke it.. cos she wasnt happy with the camera.

The good cameras are
Sony
Nikon
Olympus

snaronikar · 13th November 2007, 13:39

In continuation of the above post, can I upgrade my memory card from 16MB to 1 GB? When I asked GK Vale photo shop, (in Vijayanagar), they suggested me that the current camera is not compatiable with the new card? Is that so ?

tsk1979 · 13th November 2007, 14:21

GK Vale told you a lie.
Most cameras in 2003 support upto 4GB cards

There are definiteley better ways to get rid of something you don't like...i would have happily agreed to take it from her free of cost and of course, also bear the shipping charges.
