Doing more with the iSight
Doing more with the iSight
01/16/2004 01:01 PMThe iSight came close to being the biggest disappointments of my
new Mac experience. It looks gorgeous and appears to integrate
seamlessly with iChat AV, although as I don't currently have any
contacts with an iSight I haven't been able to try video conferencing
yet. The dissapointment is that there was no clear way of using it to
capture video directly - a feature that I reasonably expected from
iMovie. Apple's knowledge base knocks the point home pretty clearly:
iSight
is intended for use as a video conferencing camera, and does not
output the DV format necessary for capturing video with
iMovie.
Well that sucks. Thanksfully before writing the thing off
completely I did some Googling and turned up this excellent O'Reilly
article: Ma
king Movies with the Apple iSight, which shows how Apple's free QuickTime
Broadcaster software can be used to capture footage straight from
the iSight to disk.
Surprisingly for Apple the procedure is far from transparent, but
at least it's possible.
Oh, and the biggest disappointment? The fabled backlit keyboard,
which tends to be drowned out by the light from the laptop screen
making it more of a gimmick than a useful feature.
Sony's 3 CCD HDV HDR-FX1 Camcorder
Sony's 3 CCD HDV HDR-FX1 Camcorder
09/07/2004 06:47 AM
Sony's new 3 CCD HDV camcorder, the HDR-FX1, has
been formally introduced by the company after an initial preview at
this year's CeBit. What makes it so special? Well, along with a host
of other interesting features, the FX1 has the ability to capture
video in 1080i at 60 interlaced frames per second. Add into that a
projected street price of only around $3,500 and the FX1 becomes a
pretty amazing piece of gear, and definitely one that will get most
prosumer and semi-pro film makers all hot and bothered. The FX1 should
be available in November, and a hands-on with the press is expected
tomorrow (so expect to see more news). (Thanks, David!)

11/06/2003 03:00 AMJust got word of a new camcorder phone from Samsung that can record up
to two hours of video. But it gets even better. The SCH-V410 can also
double as a remote control for a TV or DVD player, take still digital
pictures (with flash), and play music stored on it without having to
open up the phone. It also has a 262,000 color internal LCD screen, an
external OLED screen, and support for video-on-demand services. The
V410 is just for the South Korean market, but Samsung is planning to
make a PCS version of it called the SPH-V4300 which could conceivably
be sold here in the US....

The first thing that comes to mind when seeing
Sony's DCR-DVD7E is that it looks rather like a Discman, but this is
of course only because it must make room for a DVD-R, DVD-RW, or
DVD+RW to use as recording media. The unit, announced yesterday in
Europe, has a 2.5-inch LCD viewfinder on the back, and despite perhaps
looking a bit unimpressive, the lens does a respectable 10x optical
zoom. No idea what it's going to cost when it hits European shelves in
May.

camcorder in Japan on Oct. 15, and worldwide by the end of the year,
the company said in an announcement Tuesday. While the camcorder is
compatible with Japan's HDV high-definition digital video format,
users cannot store video on Sony's Blu-ray Disc format. The HDR-FX1
camcorder is Sony's first step in promoting high definition video as
the standard format for home-use camcorders, but its price makes it
too expensive for most families initially, the company said.

New tape-less digital camcorder from Pretec that
records entirely to SD memory cards and doubles as a 2.1 megapixel
still camera. The DV-4200 captures video at 30 frames per second,
which means you might actually want to use this to record those
special moments, unlike Panasonic's very similar SV-AV30, which
records at only 15 frames per second.

Sony DCR-PC350 Camcorder Reviewed
07/09/2004 01:27 PM
CamCorderInfo has the first review I've seen of the
Sony DCR-PC350, the new pocket-sized camcorder with the 3.31-megapixel
sensor. Sadly, although it's a pretty decent review in general, they
don't talk too much about the still image quality, something I'm sure
many of us would like to know more about, since one of the major
selling points of the DCR-PC350 is its function as a convergence
device. Still, there is some good information in there, including talk
of a "Cinematic Effect" setting that shoots video progressively,
tweaks the color, and drops every fifth frame in an effort to emulate
the look of film. And it works, sort of, at least as an interesting
effect (although they say it ends up looking more like 8mm film than
fancy, Hollywood-quality stuff.)

11/19/2003 11:36 PMThe iSight's overall picture quality was noticeably better than that
of the other cameras. It almost always provided a sharp, crisply
defined image and did the best job with movement and backlighting. The
Pyro slightly edged out the iBot in image quality, but the two were
closely matched. The Fire-i had the lowest overall picture quality,
but it made up for this in other areas. By Matthew Honan (Macworld via
