nikon camera lens for d3100 image
29thdawn
I'm looking for a camera from Nikon or Cannon that is good for taking pictures, and shooting videos. I've thought about the Nikon d3100, but I'm still not sure. I've heard that the quality of the pictures/videos depends on the lens. What camera and lens would be good for shooting videos and doesn't cost a whole lot? Thanks!
Answer
Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 seconds or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes.
You can get a Canon ZR960 for $250. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a Mic jack. You need a firewire (IEEE1394) card ($25 to 30) for the computer and a firewire cable (less than 10) to be able to transfer video to your computer. To say this is not HD, think about this. It would cost in excess of $3500 to get a HD camcorder that could equal the video Quality of a $250 Canon MiniDV tape camcorder.
If you want great pictures, either get a separate digital camera or use the one on the camcorder. The digital camera will give you better pictures than the camcorder ever can

What camera lens should I purchase for shallow depth of field?
green27
I own a Nikon D3100 (18-55 mm lens) and I really want to do more with my camera than what this lens allows. I'm looking for a lens that will give me really shallow depth of field, any suggestions? In addition to purchasing that lens, I am also looking to purchase a zoom lens. Any suggestions for that, too?
Price is definitely a factor, but I do want good quality, so I'm looking for a good compromise.

Before I go on there is one thing you should know. You can do anything with any lens. You just have to understand its limitations. You can take a wide angle shot with a telephoto lens if you back up far enough. You can take a closeup with a wide angle lens if you stay close enough. You can blur the background if you position your subject as far away to the background as possible with you staying as close as possible to the subject. while using the smallest f/number on your lens. It just so happens that there are lenses that can do some jobs better than others. Don't put your kit lens down. It's a good one if you know exactly how to get the best out of it.
