The Evolution Of The Video Camera
It?s incredible to think just how far camcorder technology has come and evolved from its humble beginnings. Video cameras, like all forms of technology and gizmos and gadgets, have improved and become more user-friendly and more innovative over the years. That?s nothing new, and there?s no reason to trump the advancement of the video camera onto a higher pedestal than anything else. But, when one looks at the history, timeline and growth of the video camera, it is remarkable to see where it has come from, where it has gone, and where it will venture to in the future.
Video cameras emerged as large, bulky and cumbersome devices that required tapes or reels to record and store the moving pictures. The either rested uncomfortably upon the shoulder, or stood on tripods or legs. Their movement and portability was severely hindered and limited by wires, cords or cables. Only specialized technicians and trained individuals could operate them. And, perhaps most stunning of all, video cameras could only record, broadcast and play back in black and white.
Fast forward (another innovation on the video camcorder) to the digital age, and we are now inundated with brand upon brand of digital camcorder. Some dwell in the higher price range, with all the requisite bells & whistles and features. While others are more simple and affordable. Most do not require tapes ? which, upon further reflection, were probably larger than today?s digital camcorders ? to record and playback the movie. Nowadays, today?s video cameras are built with a hard drive included in the unit, so that it can store the movie right on the device itself. Which, in and of itself, also shows how far computer technology has evolved over the years.
Digital video cameras have improved and advanced so much that they are now not just limited to the traditional video camera venue. Camcorders are now found in a variety of devices, including cellular phones, portable digital assistants, hand-held video game consoles and a whole host of other portable devices. Whereas before, perhaps only an important event warranted to use of the video camera, today?s generation uses the video camera in the same regard as they would a pair of scissors ? they are a tool of convenience.
Digital video camcorders appear to be everywhere these days, even if we are oblivious to their locations and whereabouts. Certainly, the hand-held video camera will always be in favor and in style. But, more and more people are choosing to own a digital video camera that is part of another item altogether, rather than just a stand-alone item. And, just as interesting as the technology itself, is how it is being used. Video cameras are being used regularly to document, record, create and share. Perhaps they have always been employed for that purpose, but they are now playing an even greater role in society, media and culture.

Introduction to the Nikon D300
Introduction to the Nikon D300
The Introduction to the Nikon D300 DVD makes it easy to understand your camera s controls and settings. Examples of images and separate chapters on controls, white balance, RAW files, ISO, Auto Focus, Auto settings and more will help you to master your camera for optimal images.
Customer Review: New To The D300, Get Started With This Video
The sky is blue; we all know that, RIGHT? Ask a blind person what "blue" is and, if having been blind all their lives, would not know the concept of color and therefore would not know to ask, "what color the sky is." When I picked up the D300 in late November '07, all I had was the users manual. It covered many features, but by no means covered some of the great features that I was "blind" to. At the time, no videos were out; the camera was just too new. The most advanced camera I have used to this point is the D80 and the F5. Picking up the D300 and getting started is pretty easy if you have shot with a D70, D80, D200 or the like. However, there were many features of the D300 that I did not have a concept of or expected. The D300 camera has many features that this video will present that you did not even know to ask. The video will not teach you how to take better photos with the D300, but will introduce many of the features of your tool that you should find very useful.
Customer Review: So glad I purchased this.
I am a new DSLR user, so getting to know my D300 was a dual task of learning the camera and basic photography. What I liked most about this DVD is that it promotes a personal plan, or ritual, for shooting. The narrator talks quite fast, but as the other poster said you can always go back and replay the DVD, which I have done many times. As I rewatched the DVD I realized that the information is not padded, but is tightly packed clean essential information. It even recommends several assignments to do to practice what is taught. I have discovered that if I really know all the ins and outs of my camera this knowledge triggers possibilities when I am in a shooting situation. Since I am a beginner to DSLR, I had everything to learn.

Customer Review: Pretty good for visual learners
The ads for this item and the back of the DVD case read: "All you need is this training DVD and about ninety minutes, and you'll have the knowledge and the confidence to create the images you want." This very considerably overstates the case. You cannot learn what you need to know about the 40D in ninety days, much less ninety minutes. I feel rushed when watching the DVD. It doesn't give you time to manipulate your camera while watching the DVD. I know that I can turn it off and come back to it, but it would be helpful if I could manipulate my camera while watching the instructions. Still, this is a very useful DVD for those trying to learn the 40D, and I recommend it.
Customer Review: Nice instruction video
Nicely done video. High quality, good topics, etc. Shows you basic and more advanced functions of 40D. Looking forward to buy more products from this publisher.

Customer Review: Good buy
Very good content. Done in a studio, but applies to the outside world just the same. My only complaint is that it didn't play on my TV, just the computer, and I had to download a video codex pack to be able to do even that. I would like to relax in fromt of the TV to watch this at my leisure.
Watch it a few times to sort of soak it all in. Lots of great tips, much better themn just reading about how to do sometning.
