Hi, you can provide us the exact model number of the camera you are inquiring so that we can assist you further. -Ely

Hi, that is interesting and is misleading for sports or nature photographers like myself. I did buy it for the noted mb speed on the label as I need speed on my shoots, and it bothers me that elsewhere it is stated as being slower than what I am being lead to believe, and need. I don't think though that that would restrict video taping as I also use as spares ScanDisk 45MBs cards which were the fastest at one time, but they take video with no issues. One must also take in the frames per second and pixel size of the movie. High speed cards can handle hi def to low definition. The first thing I did was change the movie mode to one of the lowest standard on all cameras that can take videos, and it still didn't work.i also have Lexar cards. They have issues when taking too many pictures such as action shots in sports, but are fine for video and general picture taking. I tested it when I got home and it had no issues videoing, along with the older 45mbs cards and still couldn't figure out why the PNY wouldn't take videos. Thank you. Rob

I would think that just having a good hot shoe connection is the most relevant thing. I use a Vivitar 285HV sometimes, but it may be the lower trigger voltage version. It fires that unit just fine, as well as tripping the shutter on my camera, with a remote shutter cord that came with it.

In theory you can use an adapter sold by Sony so you could use the HVL-F58AM on the newer hot shoe found on the latest Sony cameras, but I never tried it.

I have Sony hx400v According to my knowledge, the difference between the model b and v is gps

CCD should be faster... but probably uses more battery... wonder if it has any heat problems with fast back to back shooting?

I quit using the standard battery about a week after I got this camera. Why? I bought an OPTEKA NP-FV70 BATTERY PACK. Actually, I bought 2 but only really needed 1 as it turns out. Yes, I am endorsing this OPTEKA product. This is a 8.4v 2500mAh battery. I always charge it on the camera itself. I do not ever endorse charging on a car charger, and that includes cellphones. Car chargers, in my experience, charge the batteries too quickly and get the batteries too hot, and excessive heat is one of the worst enemies of batteries. If I must charge in a car, I actually bought a power inverter, and I plug in the home charger to that, and that is, in my experience, a better way. Anyway, you asked about the battery life: The standard battery that comes with the camera should last you at least 30 minutes, and it could last you up to the 1.5 hours that coyote quoted. I seriously doubt you can get 3 hours on the standard battery, as the standard battery is much smaller than the one I mentioned, but I have not tried it. I put in an Amazon 32GB memory card, which is why I bought the 2500 mAh battery. I record on the highest resolution. I can get 3+ hours of HD recording on the memory card, and 3+ hours of life from this bigger battery. I have done a lot of video while deer hunting and videoed my stepsons wrestling matches, and the camera and battery have performed flawlessly so far. So, to recap, I am plugging this camera, that battery, and the Amazon SD class 10 memory card. You might also consider buying an external SD card reader. I have an older Dell, and the built-in card reader does not like to read cards, so I just bought a USB reader, and it works fine. You can also just leave the card in the camera and download directly from the camera to your computer. A couple other things to consider are a tripod or a mono-pod and a nylon case. I bought everything here on Amazon. For this type of equipment, you really can get a 1-stop shopping spree.

what would you need 1.3 megapixels for? regardless the images will still be crap, if you want real pictures go buy a nikon or canon, or standalone webcam for chat if you're that picky. On MSN .3 - 1.3 looks same, also saves bandwidth.bluetooth - go stick in a flush usb adapter, 15$. No bluetooth - one less way to waste battery.DVD drive - get your own standalone drive. no DVD - less weight, less battery drain.I like this low voltage core duo style, I'm gonna spring for the UL50vt.

how much do you think the battery lasts when shooting at 720 fps?Is an 8gb card enough to record with a fully charged battery?The thing is that I don´t want to spend the extra money if I don´t have to.

David Pogue wrote a piece in the NY Times on the subject, making some solid points in favor of mini-dv which ultimately turned me away from any non-tape-based cameras. If you feel like subjecting yourself further into this dead horse of a subject, the link to his piece is below:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/20/technology/circuits/20pogue.html

I've taken short vids. I've not tried long ones. There are two things limiting videos - battery and SD cardsize. My 8 gb card gives stores about 30 minutes at the default. The battery dies fairly quickly as well. As far as action or POV, if you can figure out how to mount it, why not? The camera has a 1/4-20 mounting thread. Or there's always duct tape :)

The large LEDs do use twice the current as most cameras. It does sound like a power supply issue / voltage problem at the camera. any way to see if you are getting 12volts at the camera in black & white mode? Agree with Sam on bigger powersupply & cable. I soldered my connections.

Definitely not. In fact, I started out with a 400W PS, if I recall correctly, when it just had the onboard video, added a separate viceo card, and then several months later had to upgrade to a 500W PS because the system just kept conking out because it couldn't handle the load with 400W.

Michael.....the recorder uses standard 120 volt. each camera also get attached to a four in one power cable, for example if you have four cameras then you will have two plugs to deal with one being the recorder and the other to power the four camera's. I have my system plugged into a Battery backup so if I loose power I dont lose recording time. Although Im not an electrician I do not believe that the system draws much power at all. Hope this helps

Hi, in this link you can see a comparison of both models: http://www.samsung.com/ve/consumer/cameras-camcorders/smart-cameras/productcompare?prda=EC-DV150FBPWPA&prdb=EC-DV300FBPRPA Basically have the same features, the only difference I see is the physical design

how do you switch modes of recording? on the camera or from the computer? and which is best for slow mo (if possible)?
