Useful tool
2009-07-01I've had this card for a couple of months now. The main use is for back up work. It worked smoothly so far. I've had no problems. The only disadvantage to it is that it does not come with a cover.
Just Failed - Lost Pictures & Video
2009-07-01I just bought one of these for my Canon A590. Seeemed like a really good deal for a 4GB SDHC Class 6 card. Performed well for a few months then "BAM!" - all pictures were lost. Tried several image recovery tools and recovered about 40% of the media I had acquired over the past week. That's 60% of my "memories" I lost which are worth a lot more than this piece of trash. Put a little extra money in something you know is reliable. If anyone even mentions data loss in a review, stay away!
Card Completely Died After A Few Months
2009-07-01The card has worked fine for the past few months. I turned on my camera this evening and my camera gave an error saying it needed to be formatted. Luckily I only lost the last 10 or so pictures I'd taken but it was annoying to have the card die so soon. This card has tons of reviews and a very high rating so I may have just gotten a dud. I'm trying another Transcend model to see if I get better results.
Memory Card
2009-06-30Lots of memory for pictures movies or what ever- Got the card for coolpix 90 Nikon- perfect- I might go to the 16GB or 32GB but the 8GB seems like it has plenty of memory to spare
Excellent
2009-06-29This was used for an overseas trip, under harsh conditions, with humidity, rain and heat. I was wondering how it would hold up, and it just worked great. Can't think of a single complaint.

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc.
There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder.
Technology
It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...

Camera Parts & Features - these are standard or basic features on a camera. Your camera may have different features. If you have any questions, please e-mail me.
View Finder - A small eyepiece or screen on the camera that allows you to see the image you're recording. (The camera also acts as a VCR, so you can play back and watch what you have already recorded through the view finder).
White Balance - If you ever ended up with yellow-tinted video, chances are you forgot to white balance. It's worthwhile to white balance every time you use your camera to get the highest quality video. If your camera doesn't have this feature, it may have an automatic or internal system. What white balancing does is adjust the intensity of the colors being recorded according to the existing light. Make sure you white balance every time the lighting conditions change; if you record video inside and then go outside, your lighting conditions have changed and you need to instruc ...
