Photo & Video Equipment Recommendations

[Romano V]

I just ordered the Kodak V1233 more than 12 Megapixels for christmas.

Here the equipment http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/1634...syshare-v1233/

Photos and videos in HD

For safety i paid a little bit more than the price in case of problems.

I will use it in Paris with a russian girl, one other girl of Uzbekistan and in Ukraine / Moldova for 2008 campaign.

Can anybody suggest some software (preferably freeware) for adding (or superimposing) text on to digital pictures ?

For example, "ISG Members Only" or time-date stamp or "Bada Bing Club Models", whatever, etc etc.

I know this stuff exists because I see it all the time.

Just can't think of what it's called in order to do a search engine query.

You know, that thingamajig that can do whatchamacallit.

If you only want to type some text, use Paint in Windows.

One exp..there are other ways to do it if you want.

i tried making 20x30-inch prints with my eos 10d and 50 f1.4 lens and they look good, they look great at a normal viewing distance but if you look close at them they look alright.

i bet that 20x24-inch prints from 4x5-inch large format camera would look great. especially a close-up shots of her anus or pussy. imagine all the detail of the dynamic range of the 4x5-inch film has to offer.

i used to have the pentax 645 camera, mamiya rb67 pro-s, and mamiya rz67 pro ii. pentax 645 was really good if you moved a lot. the 6x7cm mamiyas were great for the studio/tripod settings. i never actually tried hasselblad, and the 360-degree winding knob/lever was kinda silly for me.

for the large format cameras i had old kodak metal 4x5 view camera, sinar f2 4x5 view camera and the wista 4x5 wooden field camera. my favorite one was the wista 4x5 because it was compact, light and easy to use. metal kodak was alright, very straightforward. but i did not like the sinar f2. i got it for a very good price from my friend and he included bunch of accessories and lens for it so i had to buy it. the camera takes a lot of tiome to learn to operate and it takes a lot of time to take a photo. i sold it 3 months aftre i got it.

right now i am converting my epson printer so i can use 6 black inks to make b/w prints only. if done right then i will be able to print 8.5x11-inch prints fast and easy and without chemicals.

as i told photography is a part of my work so...

if you make such prints you can easily use a normal slr camera 35 mm with a low speed film, (max 100 asa) if the lenses are good enough (that's usually the problem) you can get outstanding 30x40" prints, otherwise you have to go to bigger format, but they are bulky and heavy... that's the problem...

in my opinion a 8-10 megapixel file in jpeg format (of course shot not with pocket cameras, but with real ones) is far enoug for the needs we have, of course if you intend to make pussy posters :d they are not enough...

you could easily try a young teen in kiev, give her some photos and then she will fuck you to death for payment... but you have to carry some bags of equipment!

I'm using 8 megapixel with proper lens, and will soon go over to 10.2... Far enough... I do not mean pocket thiongs, real cameras! Like Canon or Nikon.

Frankly speaking we are not making a hard core magazine, we no not need any Hasslblad or so (digital with 22 or 33 Mega Pixel!!!) even with film...

Of course you have to use at maximum resolution always...

For "Pink" i use my Canon 50/1.4 and for Room pics my 10-22 EF-S all with a 580, or might be two 580 EX flashes... (ones used as Slave) 350-400 D body, far enough... in my opinion. If you still want to go to film in big format... Yes it's possible, but cost a lot of money, takes time and for what... Pussy posters in you office?

Is anyone using a medium or a large format film camera?

I want to buy a phone cam with a strong flash, minimum 3 or 5 megapix. Internet compatible. Any suggestions?

Piper1, the usual problem with phone cameras ar not the megapixel, but lenses...

For around 299 € in EU (where you have epprox 20% of VAT, but cheaper in duty free when leving EU) you can easily buy a SONY T100 series camera.

Basically big as a normal phone (i.e. smaller than a Nokia 9300, but with same weight and thikness), with inbuiold flash, optical zoom, etc. And a real wide screen. It's heavy and robust and you can just slip it (even without any protection since lenses are closed) in the pocket. The quality of full res pics is good and you can cut off details (pink!).

I think I'll buy one my sel soon just as a spare to my (to big and expencive) camera equipment.

Lokk here and do not confuse it with the Sony Ericsson T100 Mobile!!!

Happy photographing!

Sony K800i - 3.2 Megapixels, inbuilt flash, connection to net. Fairly robust too. Decent pictures have been obtained - much better than the usual phone camera quality on here

Hi It Travel,

Any chance I can get the girl contact, am interested in using her for my photo shoot. Thanks.

Hotlicks

But I can PM you the phone she is still in activity...

But I Photographed her also with my Canon 350 (dressed unfortunately)

[Hotlicks]

Good that I’m of some help…

We all hope to see your pictures soon!

By the way the girl is one of the most reactive you can find, surely not a beauty, but I will upload here some pics, most already seen…

I have to tell they have been worked and cut a little bit, made with my old Nikon 5400 (now I use it also because the quality of lenses is rather good, and it’s really small, and with a reserve battery in the pocket you can easily make 250 pics.). It’ also easy to find one used.

The first two pics are some pink, before and after tongue treatment!
I did not take pictures of her after this because we started fucking like rabbits… If she simulates she might get an award for special effects!

You can easily see the erected clito and the swollen lips, I do not remember who, but they called her, on the Ukraine Photo forum: The Helicopter.

Others are photos in bed, and in my favourite positions, where you do not need to notice her which hole you will take… Just go over her, hold her wrists and push it in as hard as you can (that the reason I’m searching in Europe lubricant with some anaesthetic, just for the little hole…)

I hope I will be with this little fucking machine at the end of the month, so be prepared for a lot of pics.

Mind that for good photos you might have even for a little camare a proper flash wich can be oriented on the roof for inirect light.

Have Fun and send yours!

Look at a Panasonic GS300. It is a 3 CCD model vs. most models in that price range which are single CCD's. The Panasonic uses miniDV tape for recording. The Panasonic is a good video camera in your price range, you should be able to find it cheaper that $600 depending where you buy it. You will always find video cameras with more features and better lenses, and it all depends what you want to pay.
The Panasonic is a good one to start with.

To see some reviews and evaluations use a google search such as "reviews Panasonic GS300", or such.

IMHO stay away from units that record either directly to DVD (small DVD in video camera) or that record to SD (usually compressed to MP4). This latter technology is catching up, but as yet does not have the quality of digital video to miniDV. Also, if you want to do serious editing and make nice videos of your mongering, not that many good video editors support mp4. All this will change over time, but that is the situation right now.

Second question from other poster, any video recorder that stores to miniDV, will attach and allow you to "capture" video to computer using "firewire" or the 1394 port (two names for the same thing). This is standard on all these types of video recorders. Camera that record directly to DVDs in the camera, usually only have a USB2 attachment.

As for digital cameras in your price range, I think you will get many suggestions. I have had good luck with Canons, Nikons, and Panasonics as far as good picture quality and ease of use. If you are new to this, ease of use will be of highest concern--i.e., you will probably never use many of the manual functions. If you are a serious photographer, you are in the wrong price range and wouldn't be asking for advice.
Also, make sure you touch and feel some of the different cameras. For example, I like the quality of photos on some of the new Nikon S series (the slim ones) (S7's, S8's, S9's), but, the shutter button is too damn small for my "fat" fingers, as are the Sony slim cameras, sometimes when I thried to press the shutter, I was not efficient and missed the shot.

Read some reviews, touch and feel some units, and start shooting movies with your ladies.

[Van Velen]

I second the previous poster's comment. However, I would like to add that I am looking for one that is compatible with a computer. That way I will be able to hook it up with my laptop and so digitally store my videos. Is this standard for all modern videocameras or is there a special sort equipped for this?

[HarryR]

I have looked at several cameras that were good for taking yourself in action. One of the requirements is that is must have a wide angle lens, of at least 28 mm in the 35 mm equivalent. Most "view" digital cameras have a no wider view than 35 mm, which does not get in enough of the action.

The camera that I did find was a Nikon CookPics 8400. It has the equivalent of a 24 mm to 70 mm zoom, so it can go very wide to get more of the action. however, it has a very "slow' lens, particulary at the 70 mm end (f4.9). But it is a 8 Mp camera and has a swivel viewing screen so you can see yourself in the screen while you hare hold the camera way from you.

The only trouble with these type of cameas and all "view" cameras is that the lenses are mostly crap. They don't compare in quality to the interchangeable lenses from the SLR cameras.

But this is my choice for self action.
