does this camera have full functionality in Eaglesoft. Capture and Save on click? Autofocus? are there any caveats

It works you need to set it up as a Twain. Buy it call Patterson imaging and they can help you out install it. If it doesn't work. Return it.

Yes, it does but I don't use that feature very often, it takes a few seconds, at least 5 to write the burst and that can be too slow for quick action, but if you are wanting a single burst set, it is reasonable. I have not had too much success with fast action capture with this camera. I use it for scenery and video, the sound capture is outstanding, see what it can do at youtube, look up ddupont, these were all from this camera.

It does. It has, like many, a "flower" setting which allows you to get right up close. Exactly how close I'm not sure. The technical specs probably tell you how close you can get before autofocus doesn't work. (which is what happens when you get too close)

I have used this camera on my emac for a year or two. It came with a Macam disc, but this program is easily downloaded. I was trying to source a webcam for a friend and I got an ancient logitech but with the macam softwear it came on straight away.Pat (Australia)

It has an automatic macro mode when the object is very close. Works reasonably well when I photograph coins.

This is my exact question. I bought the camera for video. We went to Costa Rica and although I switched back and forth between still and video, it only recorded video. The user guide doesn't shed any light on this problem. Luckily I also had my Canon ESO and a Nikon point and shoot. The still shots I took with this camera were when the other two weren't handy. Please, anybody, help!!!!!

I have had great results on auto and sport as I am mainly photographing birds. A hint you will loose focus if you zoom in to close, also when you make your first click wait for the green border to make sure your in focus with the right object. I am totally satisfied with the great results and clarity I get...I am putting together my photos into a book. Hope this helps

I have never tried to access the other menus. Or at least I don't remember as it's been a awhile. The camera defaults to camcorder once it's turned on. You might want to cycle through the menu a few times to see if you can locate the other commands that you're interested in.

Yes, I must wait for about a second or two for the camera to reach focus. This is in the program [P] mode, or the Auto. Also, if I see a perfect picture, there is a noticeable time lapse between when I press the button and the shutter "releases" [electronically]. This means that on many occasions I have to take another picture and hope for better.

with the foscam app, there is a button to capture video or take a still picture on demand. I just sent someone to http://wrice.blogspot.com/2013/06/recording-surveillance-video-from.html regarding setting up video capture as well from a computer.

It's normally very simple to use. Canon gives you enough option to play around with your options on automatic captures.

This camera shoots about 1.5 frames per second which is not fast but not that slow either. I was able to shoot birds and airplanes in flight without much problems. The catch is that you can't be in AUTO - I almost exclusively use PROGRAM mode. You have to set it in one of the 3 continuous shooting modes and it will shoot at about 1.5 frames per second at fixed focus, 0.7 fps in auto focus or Live View as long as you hold the shutter button down.

I've been flipping back and forth between the SD800 and the A710. And, your pics are now making me lean towards the A710. Two must-haves for my first digital camera are a view finder and image stabilization. Just one question for you, cjw333. I noticed that a couple of your motion shots were blurry. Was the stabilizer on? Thanks for sharing your photos. They're awesome.

Well I didn't have any luck making it work on any OS. They sent it with a third party software, the disk had a corrupt file and when I googled it for a fix it directed me to download it from another site. It's basically spam ware and opened up my computer to the free world. In researching it a bit I think lots of others users experienced the same issue. I would look elsewhere for a camera.

I gave the camera to a friend. She uses it to take photos of items to sell on eBay and she says it works great. I did not remember a button being on the camera. But I asked her to check for me. She said that nothing happened but she did get a message saying the button only works on "Windows Messenger." I hope that helps.

It has continuous shooting if you hold down the shutter button. It's not too quick but it's effective. I like mine!

Have you tried using the AF/AE lock button located on top of the camera just behind the shutter release? I just got this camera myself so haven't explored all the features but that button is supposed to help you track moderately fast moving subjects.
