This is a quick and simple lesson on how to change your focus squares on an SLR Camera. For this example I use the Canon 40D. I hope you enjoy it! The entire DVD training (over three hours worth) can be ordered from: michaelthementor.com
SO I have been into video creation for awhile, and I finally got me some nice software for the editing but, the sad part is is that I am so limited in choices and quality because my camera that I use to record my videos with is a digital still-photo camera that just happens to have a record feature on it, but it only gets 30FPS and pixel quality is terrible!
Camcorder doesn’t cut it either since I want quality. Not saying that ALL camcorders are HORRIBLE but they tend not to offer some of the things I am looking for, and so I am trying to do research on a good amateur recording camera, but I just can’t find anything. so far I like both the Canon XL2 for a couple reasons: 1 I Trust canon with good quality products because my Digital SLR and still-frame point-and-shoot are both Canon products, plus it has th ability to buy more lenses for later when I may need a separate Lens. and its somewhat cheap.
While on the other hand the Panasonic DVX 100a is a good offer too (and, excuse my videography illiteracy but, it has a cover over the mic to block wind out.)
so (and it doesn’t have to be these two cameras) what exactly do you guys recommend for a amateur like me?
I am looking for a compact digital camera with the following features:
10+ megapixels
5+ optical zoom
16:9 aspect ratio
very high resolution
Less than 0
The goal is to travel overseas and take some great pics, then upload them onto my 40" LCD TV, and use my tv as a digital picture frame.
The closest I’ve seen so far is the spec on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2S I found on Newegg (not sure if it’s accurate). I’m just looking for something slightly cheaper than 0. I’d like to know if the Canon Powershot features the same 16:9 resolution.

I need help finding the best camera that can be triggered via wireless or USB and transmit photos to location nearby (less than 100 feet) where they can be processed/edited to crop portions and to add background and frames. Need high resolution.
Is Nikon or Canon best? Is there one software package that does all this or do I need a control package like control pro and another for capture and processing.
