Canon Powershot Sx10 Question...?

I Have a Canon PowerShot SX10 and i want to put a Canon - 55-250mm f/4-5.6 Telephoto Zoom Lens
on it but First of all I don't know if i Need a adapter or if i don't need one. If i do need one Will you please tell me what i need.

Best Answer

I think that camera does not allow for interchangeable lenses. Below I listed a site that has discussion forums (photo.net) and you can ask in the appropriate Canon forum and find out.

Hope this helps.

Answer by Mark on 01 Jan 2010 12:35:32

You need a dSLR. The one you have is a point and shoot, you can't change lenses on those.

Answer by Pam on 01 Jan 2010 01:47:10

The SX10 IS is a point & shoot camera with a FIXED 20x optical zoom lens, so of course you can't add on a lens.

You already have 560mm...how much more do you need?

What software do you need to run a Canon EOS D60 on your computer, so you can view your pictures?

I just got a new camera, Canon EOS D60 and i don't have the software to view the pictures on my MAC OS X 10.5.8
Can some one provide a link to a download pleaseee!!!

Best Answer

You'll want a Canon EOS Viewer Utility. Check the link below for Mac.

Or contact Canon 1-800-OKCANON.

Answer by Mandy on 01 Jan 2010 02:01:17

Don't bother with cables or special software!

The easiest and best method to download photos and video from your camera to your computer is via a little USB card reader (which are quite cheap these days).

Card readers also work for moving photos from the computer onto a card.

Plug the reader into a USB port and insert the memory card.
It will show up as a drive, and you can simply drag and drop the photos across to the folder of your choice.

My samsung digimax s500 (camera) won't turn on?

I put brand new batteries in my camera and the light flashes but it won't turn on. When the light flashes it clicks and will make crackeling noises every once in a while. I got the lens to come out and the screen to turn on for a little bit, but the screen showed a dead battery symbol then turned off and the lens is still out. I got this camera about two years ago.

If the ONLY option is repair, where do i send it, how much will it cost, and how long will it take???

Best Answer

I would try these things first:

Do a camera re-set
Do a camera firmware update
Buy a new camera

The cost of repair will most likely be almost as much or more than the camera is worth.

I included the Samsung link below to get you started. Hopefully you can get it up and running.

      Can anyone recommend a good entry-level DSLR with exposure auto bracketing?

      I really want to buy a DSLR camera, owing to my fascination with HDR photography from stuckincustoms. As the market for DSLR cameras is an expensive minefield, can anyone suggest an ideal camera, ideal for HDR photography without breaking the bank. For starters, I am aware a Nikon D60 would be a good investment, but do not feel committed to spending a small fortune, without having used one before.
      Thanks in advance :)

      You're aware that HDR photos are done in software.

      I own and recommend the Rebel XS at 10.1mp. Superb photos and build. I find it very easy to learn and use but you've got to read the book.

      Here's some of the shots I've taken - no HDR's I don't want to buy that software.

      Answer by Jim A on 03 Jan 2010 04:45:39
      Best Answer

      The best way to know all those intimate details of the D60, follow this link and do some research.

      [URL Truncated]

      If you think the cost of a Nikon D60 is a small fortune, I wonder what you think the investment is for a pro who has a couple of D3's and an full compliment of lenses from ultra wide to extreme telephoto?

      Just take your time and decide what you want and then buy it.

      If you can still find a Nikon D40, it too can shoot the necessary image files to produce HDRI images and "auto-bracketing" really is NOT important.

      1) your camera will be on a tripod
      2) you will be using the shutter speed to make the changes in exposure (aperture changes will cause depth of field shifts)
      3) learning to use your camera in a methodical way will assure better results than attempting to get as many shots in the shortest time will ever produce.

      Just think of shooting HDRI images as a fully manual process. It is much more like using a 4x5 view camera than shooting sports or action photography where follow focus and timing are super important.

      HDRI is a methodical process.

      * choose the subject.
      * set up the camera no a tripod
      * compose the image.
      * chose the best normal exposure.
      * using the shutter speed, take one overexposed image and one under exposed image.
      * use the three images when combining them to make an HDRI image.

      While HDRI images are sort of fun, they have already become cliché in the world of photo art much like the selective colour within a black and white shot has.

      Choosing which camera system to marry based upon producing HDRI images may not be the best way to choose.

      Look further into the possibilities of your photo goals and pick the best camera system, not body ... after all, you will be replacing the body in a few years, but the lenses you have will last for decades.

      I am just looking for a new camera too and I have found great ones. The best one is the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS. It usually costs $249.00 but I found it at besbtuy.com for $199.00

      If you are not sure which one takes better pictures, I would go to Flickr.com and search a camera model. You will get pictures of the camera but also pictures that were taken with that camera you searched. To be sure, in the details of the photo find the camera model that was used to take the picture. I would also see the original size to see the actual quality of the photo. Trust me, it's the best way I found to be able to know if a camera takes good pictures. I would later see the add-ons and effects you can do with the camera models.

        Best Answer

        The quick answer to this VERY common question is "No".

        The more detailed answer is this: sometimes it is possible, but it isn't a good solution. You would need to have the right camera, cable, software and drivers.
        Then you need to set it all up to work, which can be a big pain.
        Even if you DO get it working, you are now causing wear and tear on what might be a fairly/very expensive camera.
        Webcams start at about $20.oo. They do the job well, they are usually easy to set up, and they can STAY set up - you won't want to quickly grab your webcam on the way out the door, only so you have to start setting up all over again next time you want to use it.

        Check out the websites of Logitech, Creative, and Microsoft.
        All make good webcams.
        Check the features carefully if you want to have those fancy video effects, because not every cam supports them.
        Figure out which models you like, then google for the best price.

        If you are still determined to use your still camera, then read your manual - if it is possible, it would be a good selling point, so the manual will tell you how to do it.

          yea 1000D is defiantly better and you can tell just by appearance and it has a nice lense also

          Answer by madmax18765 on 02 Jan 2010 06:11:34
          Best Answer

          Well, these are two cameras that are similar in the fact that they're both mid-level DSLRs. The 500D is slightly above the Rebel XSi line, and the 1000D is slightly below. It depends on what you want to do.

          The 1000D is slightly gimped, with only ISO 1600 (meaning that you won't be able to take pictures in darker places without heavy blurring and/or noise). However, my experience with the 500D isn't that different, even with ISO 3200; it takes somewhat blurry photos and cannot autofocus well in darker environments.

          The 500D has a video feature which is a nice add-on, and has a really intuitive interface. I haven't used the 1000D, but it has only a slightly smaller LCD (2.5" compared to 500D's 3.0"). The 500D has a very nicely updated screen, which is nearly scratch resistant in my opinion (car keys, coins, sand, etc), but attracts grease (it can be wiped off easily though). The 500D screen is fairly bright, even in direct sunlight (important for looking at photos).

          I would have to say, the 500D is better in almost every aspect. However, the 1000D is almost $100 less than the 500D, so it would depend on what you want.

          Answer by Cain A on 02 Jan 2010 06:21:31

          Below I listed a link to a web page with a side by side listing of the 2 cameras you are researching. This web page will allow you to compare features and specs and has links to reviews of both cameras. These reviews include sample images.

          Just a few quick thoughts, make a list of what you are willing to spend, features you must have, and features you would like to have. Do you want video? Check out which camera has better high ISO performance which can be very valuable when shooting in low light.

          Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and get the best price. Some of these dealers are including some nice extras, free shipping is very common, and sometimes they are offering a free memory card and/or camera bag. Sometimes you have to click in the "add to cart" button to see the actual price.

          Hope this helps.

          My computer is completely custom. When I plug in my camera, nothing happens. Zilch.

          I've had this same problem with my iPod also (via USB) but it reads my iPod now no problem.

          I have all the correct software installed, too. And I tried all of my USB ports, not just this one. Why the heck won't it recognize my camera?


          I use this portable USB port thing where it will light up blue if the thing is recognized, but it's not doing that for my camera.
          and believe me, its NOT my USB cable I'm using, and it's NOT my camera. The camera is turned on and everything when I'm doing this, but my computer won't even say "unknown device" or ANYTHING at all

          You have the latest version of Easyshare software right?
          I'ts best to plug the camera directly into a USB port on your computer to debug things.

          It may show up as another disk drive or as a yellow question mark. If the latter, then right click and select "uninstall", then scan for hardware changes again.

          Best bet is to simply buy a USB 2.0 SDHC Memory card reader/writer. You will never have to worry about drivers/connections again. They are $10 at places like Walmart/Target/Best Buy or $5 shipped or less from overseas internet dealers.

          I need help with my Nikon D40?

          I want to take pictures of people drawing words in sparklers and car lights and stuff on the road.
          All I want to know is EXACTLY how to set the shuttle speed. Step by step. If it involves the knob for different effects or whatever... explain that too please.

          Also.... MASP
          What do each of them mean and what should I do about them?

          Best Answer

          To write graffiti with sparklers, pen lights and LEDs' you need to 1) place the camera on a tripod, 2) set the cameras shutter speed on bulb (page 43) and 3) hold the shutter open until your friends have finished writing.

          You can adjust the exposure by using the lenses aperture.

          Did you get a users manual with your camera?

          M = manual
          A = aperture
          S = shutter
          P = program.

          They are the metering modes available on your camera and on pages 39-45. They will explain how to use them to get the proper exposure

          Can I prolong the exposure time on my Canon SD1100 IS?

          If so, how?
          I'd like to do light writing.
          I can't go past 2 seconds, but online it says I can go to 15!

          Best Answer

          Yes you can. Just look up...'Long Shutter' in the Index of your User Guide and it will direct you to the appropriate page. You'll be able to set your exposure from 1 to 15 seconds.


          Edit...Have you even read your User Guide? Forget about what online says and get out your manual. You can definitely select an exposure of up to 15 seconds...Your manual gives you directions on page 99!

            I cant upload my picutres from my new Nikon Coolpix camera!?

            I just got a new Nikon Coolpix camera and I currently have 93 pictures I would like to upload. When I plugged the usb cord into my camera and computer, it asked if I would like to open with the finepix viewer and I clicked ok. It started downloading picture 1 to 93 and it stopped at picture number 7. It then froze and stayed like that for 10 minutes until I shut it down. I tried it again and it did the same thing. Only to pic. 7. Am I able to upload my pictures on the finepix viewer?

            Best Answer

            invest in a USB Card Reader (available at walmart, bestbuy, amazon etc...) for about $15
            Plug the card reader into your USB Port on your computer.
            Remove memory card from your camera, and insert into the Card reader.
            Follow instructions from the card reader to open your memory card.
            Find pictures and copy them directly to your computer's hard drive.

            This will eliminate any problems that you might have with plugging the camera directly into your computer, and using the camera specific software.

            Do you still have your receipts and packaging etc? Cameras generally come with a 12 month warranty or longer if you've paid extra. I'm not sure if the scratches would count as faults or not though. I suggest talking to the place you bought the camera from, or contacting the manufacturer and asking them.

            please i need help.. this is not like this before.. when i look at the center of the lens, it has black that block the lens... i think this is the iris. but i think its stock or broken. i dont have any idea what is this.. and when i capture sumthin, the blur at the background is not normal. instead of forming a circle, its not circle anymore.... please help...

            Best Answer

            Test the lens.
            1) Lens off camera, no lens caps. Look at the iris - it should be small.
            2) Mount to camera. Look at iris. It should be very large.
            3) Select Aperture priority and set a small aperture - f/16 or so.
            4) Look into the lens and fire of a shot or two - does the iris become small, then go large again after the shot? If so, your lens is probably working fine. Lenses rarely break.

            Answer by Mick on 06 Jan 2010 02:09:29

            I think it has something to do with the aperature.
            Go to the mode dial "A", and move the front finger dial (by your right index finger) to the right until the aperature is as big as you can get it. This should change the size of the "iris".

            Canon warranty registration.?

            I bought my Canon 500d body from Malaysia a week ago, and I'm wondering if I can register in New Zealand's Canon website because I live in NZ.

            Best Answer

            I'm willing to bet my house, car and even my camera collection that they will not warranty a camera living in a country other than the one in which it was bought (legal definition of country - not geographic). You could register with Canon in Malaysia and send it back to them for warranty repair.

            It's certainly worth asking the question, but they don't want to be seen supporting grey importations as it damages their reputation with NZ dealers.

            I used to live in the US, moved to the UK and brought a load of gear with me - and I've had to send items back to the US under warranty - and it's not as though I 'grey-imported' to save money - I actually lived there and registered at my US address; and they still wouldn't transfer warranties to the UK counterpart.

            And I'm not just talking cameras - my mountain bike was bought in the US and Kona UK don't want to know - my Light and Motion light units had to be sent back to LA for repair (at my cost, of course) even though they have a UK presence.

            Best Answer

            You want to rotate video - rotating a recorded video is pretty easy, but you have to know where to look. You didn't say if you have a Microsoft Windows PC or a Mac. I'll assume a Windows PC:

            If you have Windows XP, you can use the free Microsoft Windows Movie Maker to rotate your video. See this link for detail on rotating a video with WMM.
            [URL Truncated]

            The newer version of Windows Movie Maker (the one that comes with Windows Vista) has the rotate tool also, but the interface is a little different. You'll have to do the following:

            1) Import the movie

            2) Add your movie to the "Storyboard" section (you can drag it there)

            3) Right click the Sotryboarded movie, and choose "Effects".

            4) Scroll down the list. You'll see choices for "Rotate 180", "Rotate 270" and "Rotate 90". Double-click one of these options and click "OK".

            Your video will then be rotated. At that point, just export your video (choose "Publish movie" from the File menu). You should now have a second video, only this one is properly rotated.

It also makes a funny noise like it's straining. Does anyone else's camera do this? Help! After it tries for a few seconds it just stops and then on the screen says lens error. what is going on??

            Best Answer

            sounds like a problem for an authorized Sony repair shop.
            unfortunately, this error is common with this camera.
            If your camera is under warranty, I would recommend submitting a claim to Sony's warranty dept. If not, ebay usually has reputable sellers who will fix "Lens error" on most digital cameras for a "fixed Price"

            What's the difference between the Nikon 55-200mm DX AF-S Lens & the Nikon 55-200mm DX VR Lens?

            My wife and I are new to the Digital SLR scene and enjoy taking photos with it. After using her friend's 200mm lens, we decided to get our own. Now I'm not sure if I had picked out the right one. Experienced photographers, please us out! Thanks :P

            To make it simple for you to choose: The 55-200mm VR will give you sharper pictures (if you're the nit picking type) but most importantly, the VR (vibration reduction) will reduce blur when shooting, especially at 200mm, you really do need them.

            Just get the VR version.

            Answer by rollakid on 07 Jan 2010 08:10:26

            The VR (Vibration Reduction) this can add on $50 or so but it is totally worth it. It reduces motion blur and keeps it a bit steadier looking when zoomed into that 200mm

            Answer by kevin.fetterman on 07 Jan 2010 08:10:58
            Best Answer

            VR has few lens elements inside the lens that move in response to the lens movement, counteracting the movement. This movement occurs in vertical and horizontal axis reducing the 'shake' helping the user to hold the camera steady even at slower shutter speeds. Usually 2-3 stops are gained by this (though Nikon claims 3-4).
            VR is not effective in macro work since the movement in macro is usually perpendicular to the movement the VR elements can move in the lens. Using a tripod is also more effective without the VR.

            That being said, the addition of extra elements has some effects on the image quality. I have seen VR lenses to be slightly softer than the ones without. Though surprisingly the chromatic aberrations are similar in VR and non-VR counterparts.

            Whatever be the case, rest assured, you have picked the right one. If it's VR your wife can hand-hold in many long focal length shots, if it's without VR you can expect slightly better sharpness.

            Shutter Speed on a Nikon L100?

            I honestly dont even know if my camera has this option! Any pointers on how to find it? I've searched the book, but it remains a mystery. :(

            Oh, it's certainly got a shutter speed. Probably a few!
            But, alas, they are ALL controlled by the camera, as is the Aperture size.

            There is nothing you can do in manual-mode on this camera. I feel sorry for you if you've moved 'up' to this camera from a compact in the hope of furthering your photography skills. It was aimed squarely at non-photographers (with no interest in photography) who wanted more zoominess than their compact offered them.

            But at least you can shoot in Sepia or Cyanotype! Gotta think of something positive, haven't I?
            Edit: You're better off not shooting in 'creative' modes, however...

              Best Camera that fits these guidelines?

              Well, I'm going on a trip to Spain and Africa for a Spanish club thing.

              Sooo, It's pretty expensive and I'm already trying to rake in money so I can at least go without any luxuries to bring with.

              But I would love to have a Digital Camera that isn't like the crappy one I have now (It's a huge experience after all!)

              So a camera with these would be great:
              -Good picture quality with excellent zoom.
              -Small
              -The highest I'll go is $150
              -Takes good pictures in buildings.

              Think you can help me?
              Also, if it's not too much to ask, It could be a cute camera ;D
              But hey, just do what you can.

              Canon G10 .v. Canon G11 - which one is better?

              The Canon G10 has 14 x mp yet the newest release of the Canon G11 only has 10 x mp - I would have thought that any new releases would be better than before, so really the G11 should have more mp than the G10 but it does not - so at the end of the day, which one would you purchase and why?

              The G11 has less megapixels but is said to have better performance in low-light. Being an upgrade from G10, the G11 also has a couple of new features that the G10 didn't have.
              I would choose the G11.

              More megapixels doesn't automatically guarantee better image quality. With compact sized cameras (which have a small image sensor) more MP usually means MORE noise.

              The new G11 is actually better and produces less image noise than the G10...because it has LESS Megapixels.

              Canon knows this and that is why they reduced the megapixels on the G11.

              So, don't be fooled by the megapixel hype and be confident in choosing the G11 over the G10.

              whats the point of having a larger image size on a dslr camera?

              i have a d60 and i was wondering what the difference was between having small medium and large image sizes. Does it make the picture sharper or anything? thanks

              The larger the image the greater the detail. In many cases the greater the detail the larger you can print the image and the easier it is to edit photos without losing detail in the edit.

              Technically it doesn't make the image any sharper, when we talk about sharpness that's usually a function of the lens and focusing. Semantics I suppose but that's the way it is.

              Best Answer

              I'd ignore the small and medium sizes in general photography.
              They have their uses:
              Small is the best bet when doing stop motion work. It's still much higher res than your final output video but having small images makes the rendering much less painful. But how many stop motion videos have you done?
              Medium might be of interest if you're in the middle of nowhere and have no spare card. Rather than not take photos, you might want to select medium to squeeze a few images in. No excuse for using it, really. Take spare cards.
              You should stick with Large to give yourself the best chance at getting the shot you want - it may need cropping (to fit the 10x8 print size if nothing else) and you have the maximum number of pixels available.
              Using smaller pixel-depths doesn't make your pictures sharper. In fact, the camera still uses all the pixels on the sensor but uses jiggery-pokery to produce a smaller image. Jiggery-pokery always degrades an image. Saving in jpg is also jiggery-pokery.

              Answer by Mick on 09 Jan 2010 09:33:48

              When you choose the larger quality image size, it creates a bigger image file compared to shooting one of the lower (smaller file size) settings. So the "large" setting is best if you are interested in making bigger prints, in this case it can be a "higher quality" image because it has more information (ie detail) to provide for a larger print.

              The advantage comes into play if you are going to make a larger print when printing you should stay at 180dpi resolution or higher (300 dpi often preferred).

              . 3872 x 2592 (Large, 10.0 MP) - so this is the large in the D60 which comes out to about 8 by 13 inches at 300dpi

              . 2896 x 1944 (Medium, 5.6 MP) - this is medium on the D60 which comes out to about 6.5 by 9.5 inches at 300dpi.

              So you can see that even going from just large to medium there is a difference. If you are printing in sizes the size of medium or smaller then it does not matter but if you like making really good quality prints bigger then keeping the camera quality high is important.

              I even shooting in the RAW (called "NEF" in Nikon cameras) files for my work because it provides me greater quality control on tonal scale, especially keeping highlights proper.

              Hope this helps.

              SLR Camera -- is this a good deal?

              Is this a good deal? Would it make more sense to buy the camera separately and save up for a better telephoto lense, or is this satisfactory for beginner-intermediate photography? Thanks!

              Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens
              [URL Truncated]

              Review:My journey with DSLRs began back in 2003 with the original Digital Rebel. DSLRs changed my photography for the better like nothing else. Five years and some 25,000 shots later, it's still going strong. Along the way I upgraded to the Canon 30D, which is a fantastic camera as well. When the 40D was announced, I decided to wait until the 50D sometime in 2009, but wanted a newer backup/second body for my photography needs. So when the XSi/450D was announced, it sounded like a perfect fit for my needs.

              I got it from Amazon.com three days ago, and have given it a pretty good workout since then, having shot about 650 shots under a variety of shooting conditions and with a number of different Canon and third-party lenses. The following are my impressions.

              The build feels very good. The camera feels wonderfully light yet well built. I'm 6ft tall with average size hands, and the camera feels good in my hand. The battery grip, to me, defeats the purpose of having a small, light DSLR, so I opted for a Hakuba/Opteka grip (it's a plate that screws into the tripod socket that enables you to use the excellent Canon E1 hand strap with it) and I couldn't be happier. I'm not a fan of neck straps, so this works well for me (see the uploaded photo for the configuration).

              Most of the menu buttons on the back feel different from the ones on the original Digital Rebel and the 30D; the XSi buttons feel more tactile and have a definite "click" to them when you press them. The exception are the Exposure Lock (*) and AF selector buttons, which have retained the deeper, softer feel of the older cameras. Just different, not better or worse, for me.

              The LCD is now 3" with 230K pixels. The playback images look great, and probably because of the higher resolution of the sensor, there's a very slight delay when you zoom in to 10x while the image loads and displays properly. People coming from other cameras or brands might not even notice it--I only did so because of the difference between it and my two other Canon DSLRs (which have lower resolution sensors). The viewing angle of the LCD screen (how clearly you can see the screen from side and up and down) is excellent; you can still see the screen holding the camera almost straight up for an overhead shot (more on this later). I'd estimate the viewing angle is about 160-170 degrees both horizontally and vertically.

              The Digital Rebel has a separate status screen above the main LCD screen, and the 30D had one on top of the camera, so I wasn't sure if I was going to like the big LCD acting as the status screen and no top screen. I'm happy to say that this arrangement works well, at least for me. The back screen makes it really easy to take all the settings at a glance. The viewfinder is much larger and brighter than that in the Digital Rebel. A humongously welcome feature for me is the always displayed ISO value in the viewfinder.

              The camera is only 1/2 of the image quality equation, the other being the lenses being used. Coupled with my favorite lens, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L telephoto lens, the XSi turns out fantastic images. The supplied kit lens is very light and compact for being an image stabilized lens, and turns out good performance. The IS is certainly very useful.

              Two features that used to be missing from the Digital Rebels and found in the more expensive DSLRs are now featured in the XSi: spot-metering and flash exposure compensation (these may have been available in the previous Digital Rebel model, the XTi, as well). The inclusion of those two features make the camera a much more complete and compelling photographic tool. The timer function now has a custom mode, where it'll count down from 10 seconds then take a number of shots (specified by you) in succession. No more running back and forth to reset the timer after each shot! There's also the traditional 2-second timer.

              Let's talk for a minute about sensor and the ISO values. XSi/450D has five ISO values you can choose: 100 (best image quality), 200, 400, 800, and 1600. Higher ISO increases the camera sensor's sensitivity to light, thus you can achieve faster shutter speeeds for a given lighting condition. However, the trade-off is that the sensor "noise" (think grain for film photography) increases with higher ISO, so you get a degraded image quality in return for less blurred photos from hand shakes (thanks to faster shutter speed). This may come in handy in situations where flash photography is not permitted, such as a museum or a concert or theater. HOWEVER, compared to point-and-shoot digital cameras, the larger sensors of DSLRs, including the XSi, means that even at ISO 800 and 1600 you get very usable images right out of the camera. Running the images shot at those ISO settings through any number of third-party noise reduction software will i
