How can you resize home made videos from a Cannon Powershot SD900 digital camera?

Jan 05, 2008 by damnitsmegan | Posted in Cameras

I made alot of videos that i want to upload on youtuve and myspace video, but they said that the file is too large :(

Is there some program I can download to resize it?

I don't know about file limits of MySpace Video, but with YouTube, you are allowed files of up to 1GB (or 10 minutes) in size. That would be roughly 8 minutes of high quality movies taken with your Canon.
So, if your movies are less than 1GB in total size (or only a few minutes long) then you should easily be able to upload them.
But, generally it's easier in upload times if you compress your movies.
You can use Windows MovieMaker (which is included in XP). You can tell the program how much you want to compress (or what size) you want to make your movies. It's also a good idea to edit your movies (to cut any useless or unnecessary bits out). You can even add a soundtrack etc...

Where can I find a waterproof camera case for a Canon PowerShot SD900 Digital Camera?

Apr 12, 2008 by gofaster | Posted in Cameras

I saw the underwater housings, but where can I find a water proof case/ camera bag?

I've walked considerable distances in the pouring rain with $3000 worth of gear in my Crumpler camera bag. No problem at all. And I imagine that all other brands offer a similar degree of weather protection. On the cheap, use any old bag but wrap your camera in a plastic bag first.
But if the camera absolutely, positively has to be water-proof... as in dunking it in a swimming pool... you will need an underwater housing. That, or take your chances with a Tupperware container.

How do I make something happen when I connect it?
Why isn't it working?

Did you install the software that comes with the camera before you connect your camera to the computer?

What is the difference between the Canon Powershot SD1000 and SD900?

May 24, 2007 by lil miss | Posted in Cameras

What are the pros and cons of each?

The SD1000 is newer, but it has JUST CAUGHT UP WITH the SD900 by incorporating the Digic III image processor that the SD900 has had all along. In any other area, the SD900 is equal or better than the SD1000. The most important feature is the sensor, which is double the size of the SD1000 sensor. It also has more pixels. Its continuous drive is just slightly faster and the lens is just a very slight bit longer.

After answering questions here for about 8 months, I finally decided to get a Canon Powershot SD900. After about one month of using the SD900, I am so happy with it that I bought one to give to my niece as an engagement present. I am that confident in the camera.

It's hard to keep up with the flourish of new cameras, but I think the SD900 is still the tops. It has 10 MP and it's the only SD that has the larger 1/1.8" sensor, which is nearly twice as big as the sensor in any of the other SD cameras. This generally translates into better image quality with lower noise. It's the one that I bought as my own personal pocket camera.

Here are a couple of reviews for the SD900:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonsd900/
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/sd900.html
http://web1.popphoto.com/cameras/3468/test-canon-powershot-sd900-digital-elph.html

Be sure to note that the reviews are many pages long so you don't stop after page one. Check the sample images, also. You can enlarge these to full size images if you click on the link below the picture. You will have to then put your cursor in the white space to the right of the picture and click once. After that, you can pass your cursor over the image and it will turn into a magnifier. Click it as a magnifier once and the image will go to full size and you can really examine the detail or look for artifacts like fringing or noise.

Here is one photo I put on-line that I took with the SD900. Click on "All Sizes" and view this as large as possible and check out the birds. (They are NOT digital noise!) Look at the tips of the branches of the trees to evaluate sharpness. This was taken right after sunset and there were no enhancements in afterprocessing. http://www.flickr.com/photos/7189769@N04/409551806/

Here's another photo with no post-processing at all. It was taken at the full 111 mm (equiv) zoom. It was taken in the fully automatic mode with no help from me at all. The horizon is crooked because the camera was resting on the top of my car. I did not want to alter anything, because this is part of a 3-image series comparing optical zoom with cropping to digital zoom. You can look at the other pictures while you are there and see why optical zoom is all that matters.

expert photographers canon powershot SD870 or canon powershot SD900??

Nov 27, 2007 by oemgeeitsrosalee | Posted in Cameras

ok so im ready to buy a GREAT digital camera and am stuck between these two. the sd870 has less mega pixels with 8 and the sd900 has 10. Also it has less sensor which i know is important but the sd870 has image stabilization and a better wide range. the sd870 also has a bigger lcd screen buck lacks a viewfinder. so which should i get is image stabilization THAT important or is megapixels and the sensor more important.

get the one with a viewfinder and more mega pixels. A view finder at least gives you the option of using it and therefore stabilizing the camera more (holding it up to your face).

Canon Powershot SD900?

Jul 19, 2007 by Sapph | Posted in Cameras

How much is it?
Is it a good buy?
Or is there other models out there that are better than that of the Canon Powershot SD900?
Is it useful and efficient?

If you want to see some SD900 photos, go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/tags/sd900 From there, you can also choose to "See all public photos tagged with SD900" if you want. Some of these are not so much beautiful photos as they are to illustrate a point for answers, but you can still look at the image to evaluate the quality. If they have been altered, I will mention that in the description.

B&H Photo has the SD900 for $325 right now. This is a good price. Many of us trust and recommend B&H Photo. I have been using them for many years without a single problem. B&H Photo is available through a link at Yahoo! Shopping, www.bhphoto.com or at 1-800-622-4987. See also http://www.resellerratings.com/store/B_H_Photo_Video_Pro_Audio

Beach Camera is another excellent company.

The only other ultra-compact Powershot I'd consider is the SD850-IS. You have to love the "IS," but you've also got to love the larger sensor in the SD900.

Canon Powershot SD900 or Casio Exilim EX-Z1000?

Jan 09, 2008 by ♫ g0ddess on my knees ♫ | Posted in Cameras

i'm thinking of buying a digital camera, and i narrowed my choices to these two:
Canon Powershot SD900
Casio Exilim EX-Z1000

i want a camera that uses SD cards, so i can just plug it in the computer to transfer pictures.. also, i use the camera to capture moments that don't last too long, so it'd be good if i can just point and click without sacrificing quality.. i need a fast camera that isn't too bulky and won't die on me after only a few shots..

if u got other suggestions, i'd appreciate it too..^-^

I would go for the Canon, simply because it was what I used when I was in school and for a first in photography prize I got a Powershot A530. Mine only has 5mega pixels and I understand the SD900 and the EX-Z1000 has 10mega pixels.

You said you only want point-and-click, so maybe choose the cheaper one of the two? To me they're basically the same, and if you're not a professional photographer, then that's what I would choose.

Also, it's up to the quality of your batteries on how long the camera will last. I suggest buying rechargeable batteries with the camera as well, whichever one you end up choosing.

can somebody give me the feedback on Canon PowerShot SD900 Digital Camera ASAP.?????

Does the Canon PowerShot SD990 take good concert pics?

Jan 03, 2009 by angels_fall_without_u | Posted in Cameras

I have a Canon PowerShot SD1000 and it doesn't do very well when it comes to concerts. The main problem is that I don't use flash and that makes the picture blurry. I have to hold it at a stillness that my hand can't achieve with out help. Does the Canon PowerShot SD900 have better image stabilization?

While image stabilization can help, it is not the cure for your blur problem although I just checked and neither the SD 1000 nor the SD 900 have IS ... look at the SD1100 IS or SD990 IS with manual controls

What you need is a camera that you can adjust the f/stop and shutter speed manually. You see, the lighting on the stage is such that the promoter can video tape the whole concert. That means that there is plenty of light to get good shots using a digital camera. You just need to be able to control the camera ... P&S cameras attempt to control all the exposures, so can be fooled by almost any thing that interferes with the way the cameras sees the scene.

I shoot about two or three concerts a year. I set my cameras ISO to 1600 and then meter the stage at the start of the first set. I meter the scene with the lens one stop down (to give me some depth of field and a little sharper image). That assures me that the shutter speed I am using is at least 1/250th of a second. I then set the mode to manual and use those settings throughout the whole concert. To correct for any slight exposure differences from say the lead guitar to the drummer, I also shoot in RAW. This gives me the ultimate control if I need it.
