Does anyone know if some one made a conversion kit for a Pentax film SLR to a digital camera?

21:46 0 comments

I hate to abandon my my Pentax film camera its a Super program SLR, I wandered if a replacement CCD back kit to convert it to the digital age.

Best Answer

No. Leica tried that about four years ago. The back cost more than a DSLR camera, so after a couple of years, Leica dropped that product.

Just buy a good Pentax DSLR and use the lenses you have on both. I still have 3, 35 mm SLR's which I use from time to time.

Answer by fhotoace on 01 Jan 2010 01:56:59

That would be nice but like fhotoace stated it is not available. I believe the manufacturers, at least at this time, are not very interested since it is more profitable to get all of us that are already invested in equipment to buy even more.

You mentioned you have Pentax, I think your lenses will work on the Pentax DSLRs but you should check and be certain of this. A good place to find out such details can be photo.net (1st link listed below) where there are forums and you can communicate with other photographers who may well have answers.

I think a camera that you could find of great interest and worth looking into is the Pentax K-x. It is a 12MP DSLR that with 18-55mm Zoom costs about $550.

It has impressive high ISO ability, and HD video. I am a Nikon user but I am interest in getting one.

Below, I listed links related to it, reviews, sample images from the camera, and sample of video from it.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer by Mark on 01 Jan 2010 02:13:02

None. Even for their MF cameras, there is no plan to make one. Kodak made some digital backs for high-end film cameras by Nikon and Canon at the very beginning of dSLR technology but that is already ancient history.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago when my developer started scanning my negatives for digital printing. Their process wasn't perfect so results were disappointing. I was forced to buy a Digital SLR for my next project just to finish it in time. I decided to stick with Pentax and kept my Spotmatics and MXs in the box. With my new K200d my old lenses worked flawlessly and gained focus confirmation (great for my aging eyesight) and Shake Reduction (a must for my trembling hands). The best part is I didn't have to learn anything new. I shoot in exactly the same way I did with film and everything works as it should.

How do I get sand out of my camera (Canon SD870 IS)?

21:45 0 comments

To anyone who knows about cameras or is technologically savvy:

I dropped my camera at the beach. It is a Canon SD870 8.0 Mega Pixels.

I got everything I could off the surface but tiny grains went under the automatic shutter and in between the telescopic sections. The camera still takes pictures, but there's a distinct grinding sound in the telescopic part when I turn the camera off and on and when I zoom in or out. Sometimes when I'm turning it on or off or zooming I get the error "Lens error, restart camera." Restarting usually fixes it, and it works, but I'm assuming this is bad for the long term life of my camera, which is about a year old and still working perfectly up to this point.

Questions:

I'm basically a novice when it comes to technology. Is it possible for me to fix this myself by opening up the camera? If so, how do I do that? The more details you provide the better.

Should I not chance fixing it myself and get it repaired? If so, where should I take it? Best Buy? Radio Shack? A

Best Answer

Oh my goodness!

You cold attempt to dismantle the camera yourself but more things could go wrong than just sand.

I know Canon will charge a minimum fee just to look at your camera ($100+).

Contact your local camera shops as see what they can offer.

The Canon SD870 is a nice camera and not cheap. Good luck and stay off the beach!

My eyes and cameras!!!?

21:45 0 comments

it's strange,
it has began for little while , when i am being pictured for a distance of 3 meters my eyes glow gold.
i removed red eye,i tried a lot of cameras , i have being pictured with many, pictured with a lot of positions and it's the same.
the strange thing that it glow only with a long distance but not so close.

that would be the flash/lighting, not your eyes.

Answer by allie on 01 Jan 2010 02:52:40

try a polarizing lens.

this can cure many of these problems.

Answer by mike H on 01 Jan 2010 03:14:00

Best Answer

It's normal actually.

It happens far away instead of close, because the further you're away from the camera, the narrower the angle of the flash to your eye, then reflects back to the camera.

The camera has red eye reduction turned on? Did you look into the pre-flash lights? You technically have to "blind" yourself looking at the lights so your eyes' pupil will close down.

Another trick is to not look at the camera. Look at the photographer's shoulder instead. I ask people to do that sometimes, and it helps. It's not very noticeable in the photo that you're looking away but the redeye is not there anymore.

If all those doesn't work, then it's you who have a special eye. Only way left is to edit the photo in photo editing software later on.

Answer by newonearth on 03 Jan 2010 12:24:08

A few years ago I tried an HP Photosmart. I returned it because it had incompatibility with my version of MS Works (I am told this probably wouldn't happen with newer versions of MS Works), and text looked muddy. I got a Canon iP 4600. It solves some of those problems. However, the newer HP Photosmarts use both a photo and a text black cartridge (as does the ip4600), so they probably have the text quality problem solved. If there isn't a software compatibility problem, the HP's might be a better choice. There is a little better selection of HP optimized paper than Canon, and it is easier to find. The Canon seems to drink a lot of ink.
The Canon has two different paper paths. The rear tray handles some media a little better than the HP's bottom tray. The Canon has built-in duplexing, while HP requires an optional device if you want to do duplexing. A catch is that to do duplex (two-sided) printing with the Canon, you have to use its bottom tray, and the Canon bottom tray is much more finicky and jam-prone than HP's.
The Canon's software and firmware seems to be better at recovering from and resuming a print job interrupted by a paper jam than HP.
My older HP Deskjet seemed to do navy blue very accurately. The Canon ip4600 makes it too electric, and the HP Photosmart I tried a bit royal blueish. The Photosmart seemed to do a better job than either on greens. The Canon has to have its settings tweaked to prevent a yellowish cast in photos.

What is a good digital camera that you would recommend?

21:44 0 comments

A good Digital Camera (point and shoot, casual, not a professional one) that doesn't require batteries, just charging? My camera right now uses AA batteries, and it's a little annoying because of how quickly it uses the batteries. I'd like one that charges.
One that's hardy and the pictures look nice and crisp. Basically a good camera.

I would suggest Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3 inch LCD

Digital SLRs...Nikon or Canon?

21:44 0 comments

I'm seriously considering buying an SLR Digital camera, but I'm torn as to whether I should buy a Nikon (D60, D3000, or D5000) or a Canon (EOS Digital Rebel XS or XSi). I'm not a professional photographer or anything, but I want something both for general use and for taking print-quality photos of my art (something I haven't been able to do with my point-and-shoot Digital camera).

Opinions?

If this is all you are shooting, I would suggest a bridge camera. Not exactly a point & shoot since you can control more but then again not exactly a DSLR because you don't have the full range of controls or lens swap ability. Panasonic makes a nice line of bridge cameras and they use Leica glass.

My personal preference for DSLR is Nikon because that is what I shoot with. Any 3 of those are good entry level cameras. If you intend to further your photography beyond general use or art photography, I suggest the D5000. It has a larger "pro-sumer" sensor and better ISO than the other two. That being said you are limited in auto focus abilities in all 3 of those cameras. Your lenses will have to be AF-S or AF-I which tend to be pricey. All 3 cameras do not have an auto focus motor built into the camera so if you need auto focus in your lenses, you need to buy lenses with the motor built in.

Answer by Nalo on 03 Jan 2010 04:28:11

Best Answer

There are a number of good brands so don't be sold on the idea one brand is better than another. I would keep your costs down. I would get a DSLR with a short zoom (like a 18-55mm) to start for around $425 to $750. Either a 10MP or 12MP will do just fine.

Below, I listed some links where you can look up reviews and see what camera works best for you.

The first link listed below is to a web page that lists the 5 DSLR cameras I am recommending. This list will let you compare features and specs, also it has links to reviews of the cameras, the reviews include sample images from the cameras.

Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and get the best price. Some of these dealers are including some nice extras, free shipping is very common, and sometimes they are offering a free memory card and/or camera bag. Sometimes you have to click in the "add to cart" button to see the actual price.

Here are some models that I think are well worth researching:

Nikon D3000 10MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $449
Nikon D5000 12MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $649

EOS Rebel XS 10MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm IS Lens - $449
EOS Rebel XSi (450D) 12MP DSLR w/EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens - $769

Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) - $550

Hope this helps. Pick a price range, some features you know you want, and even consider which camera feels good in your hand a factor. Plenty of great cameras, get one you like and start learning the principles of photography and you will be on your way to making some great images. Please fee free to contact me if you think I can be of any further help.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

digital camera question,?

21:43 0 comments

im kinda new to taking pictures that doesn't just consist of pointing and clicking, so last night i was trying to take a picture of the moon, and when i focused the camera i could see all the detail of the moon and the picture would of looked fine it it turned out that way, but when i took the picture and then looked at it, the moon was just a very bright object and absolutely no detail could be seen, if there something i am doing wrong, or somthing i have to do or what, any help please?
o and my camera isnt a slr its just a normal Digital Camera if that changes anything
when i change the shutter speed and the apterture thing i just get black pictures

Your camera is trying to meter the whole scene, including all the dark around the moon. Because of that the moon is overexposed. You need to set the camera to manual, set your aperture, then keep changing shutter speed (or vice versa) until you get the photo you want.

Had to edit answer. My mind doesn't work right early in the am. ;)

Answer by David on 03 Jan 2010 06:58:34

Best Answer

David has covered the problem with your camera metering the whole scene, thus overexposing the moon.

The proper exposure is the same as the one you would use during the day here on earth. Remember, the same sun shines on the moon as on the earth, so the sunny 16 rule applies. 1/ISO @ f/16 or some reciprocal of that.

Try with your exposure set to 1/400th second @ f/8 with the ISO set at 100.

Answer by fhotoace on 03 Jan 2010 07:06:19

You're not doing anything wrong, the camera is just picking up on the brightness of the moon, and because of the earth's rotation, the picture may also be slightly blurred.
If you have a landscape and/or portrait mode, this setting usually works the best, and you'll want to leave the flash on. If you also have a nearby object. (example: tree branches, buildings, etc.) This gives a very aesthetically pleasing picture, and with that mode and a flash, you get a nice foreground picture with the moon in the background. Of course this works better when you have a zooming lens on your camera. I have the capabilities of a 3x zoom with my lens, and then about 4x from that with digital zooming. (a total of 12x when combined.)
Good luck, and happy shooting ^_^

Answer by Fay on 03 Jan 2010 07:10:06

There is a way to do it without using the manual mode, which is to change the metering mode.

Most cameras will default to matrix metering these days, though some will use centre weight metering. These tend to be flummoxed by these situations. If you use spot or partial metering the camera will use the centre point to judge exposure, thus you can precisely meter on your subject and then recompose how you wish.

My OLYMPUS u700 digicam is in trouble...i mn i'm in trouble with it. Whenever I try to access different modes, it displays "WRITE-PROTECTED", and this message never disappears. I can't take any pic after dat. Any solution?

If you're using an SD card the only thing I can think of is the little slider is set to lock. If not that perhaps the card is corrupted.

Jim is right, but didn't answer very well. There's probably nothing wrong with your camera. Make sure the memory card is in the camera correctly. In your camera's menu, try formatting the memory card. If that doesn't work, buy a new memory card.
