Does TD30V have good distance 3D or is it limited to close ups like the TD20V?

Hi Robert Hosford, 3D distance for this Sony HDR-TD30V is the same as the HDR-TD20V (about 30 cm to 5 m (11 7/8 in. to 16 ft. 4 7/8 in.) -Ely

Good 3D effects come from a mix of close-up objects and distant ones caught in the same image. For example, I shot a video from a helicopter with the pilot and controls right in front of me and the scenery far below on the ground, and it still blows me away every time I watch it. But no, you don't see huge differences between a building 400' away and another 600' away. That would require the lenses to be spaced much wider than any hand held camera could possibly have.

I woul'dn't be able to tell you because I never used those other cameras. But I had no issue, what so ever with its focus. Try the review on the site dppreview is very detailed.

it is moderate for moving object. better use a lens with high speed AF. furthest distance? depends on how far the detail of object u need to capture.do not expect a perfect detail when reach distance more than 30 M

Bump. I'm in the same boat, don't care too much about 3D, just picture quality. Is the ST30 significantly better PQ than the S30?And just to confirm, the ST30 comes with the WiFi adapter while the S30 does not, right?

I thought that would matter. It doesn't unless you are doing landscapes. Anything within a hundred feet will be in 3D and be noticeable.Even objects 200-300 feet away are in distinct planes with each eye having them in a slightly different position. The lenses are "toed" in with convergence at about 7-8 feet which makes distant objects also in 3D. Like a brownie instant shot camera for 3D. Better 3D than "The Man of Steel" which is fake 3D. Use the wide angle only for best results.

Mark, yes it does take 3D photos as well. I feel the photos are on par with the Fuji W3. As an overall package and at the price it's being sold for now I wouldn't think twice about buying the video camera. 3D and 2D performance is incredible.

I am shooting on a Nikon 3200. I went with the 55-300 for its flexibility. It gives great depth of fields and allows me take great pics no matter what. Being in an austere environment this lens works great for long range and close range photograph. The longer 400mm lens has some problems and the 300mm gives better f-stop in my opinion. I found for cost and range of meters to be perfect. Clear shots, great DOF and quickness is great. I shot 90% free hand and have no vibration problems/blurry in my photos thanks to the VR.

Thank you for your response. I seem to do OK with close up but longer focal lengths give me a hard time. I may send it in just for them to check it out. I like the camera but I havent ever been so stymied before.

1. I do not think that the camera's manual is available online. If you contact the support email address (listed on the Amazon page as info@trivisiontech.com ), the support person should be able to send at least one of the three manuals to you as a PDF file. The support person sent to me the updated Quick Start Manual as a PDF file in July. 2. The NC-336PW cameras with a 3.8mm lens have a roughly 90 degree field of view. If you look at the video attached to my review (http://www.amazon.com/review/R2G1GDSB987DOD/ ), the road is 180 feet from the camera. With a 90 degree field of view, at a 180 foot distance, the camera is able to see 180 feet left to right. It is my understanding that the company transitioned from 3.8mm lenses to 6mm lens - I also have one of the cameras with a 6mm lens. If you look at the video attached to my review, you will see two trees to the right of the driveway. The TriVision NC-326PW (720P) and NC-306W cameras that I tested in that location were able to see from the left of that field of view to roughly half way between the two trees that are to the right of the driveway. The TriVision NC-336PW with 6mm lens will provide a more zoomed in view than the same camera with the 3.8mm lens, the 6mm camera is able to see just to the right of the second tree. 3. The motion detection feature provides up to four inclusion rectangles where motion detection will take place. There is no ignore function, but if you are careful how the camera is positioned, the four rectangular regions may be sufficient. For more information, see my answer here:

If you shoot sports or any other fast moving objects (such as small children), get the 7D. 8fps (7D) can really get you the shots that 5 fps (T4i) might miss. Don't expect big differences in image quality (dynamic range, etc), they are very close. I have a 40D (2007 vintage) myself, and rented a 7D last weekend to see how it performs. With the same 70-300L lens, there really wasn't much difference in image quality. T4i with it's tilting touch screen could be very useful. I have no comments on its focusing accuracy or speed though.

I Have upgraded from D300. I find the D=600 to be a good camera with full frame capability which is what I wanted to get. I would recommend it.

Besides the focal length and the "Vibration Reduction " feature, almost nothing. A while back the price for the 10-30mm was higher for the VR. Now that they are the same, like someone said, why bother unless you just like to have a full camera bag like myself.

I no longer have the vehicle on which this camera was installed, but my recollection is objects appear as normal size. The camera was mounted near the roof dripline of a Chevy Express van. From that vantage, it gave me a good view of the closed garage door as I backed into my yard. Although the camera doesn't display distance marks, with a little practice you can pretty well judge how close you are to things.

I have a T3i, and I agree with the other comments. I get excellent shots of the moon (using a Manual setting, but Auto focus), with wonderful detail. I would imagine it would perform the same on your newer T4i. I've also taken great shots of airplanes passing overhead. Once I took some close up shots of people's faces, with amazing detail; however, you can't be close to the subject, with a minimum of 70mm. It might be good for taking spy pictures!

The Panasonic HC-V720 is capable of both 2D and 3D videos alike. The quality of the video is quite superb regardless of what you are recording.

Ninan, I have the ZS3 and love it. I reviewed the H20 and it lacks a few things. Most notably, the lens only goes to 38mm on the wide end compared the the ZS3 which goes all the out to 25mm. That was enough for me to rule out the H20, so I don't know much more about it.I'd suggest going to the Panasonic global website at www.panasonic.net/avc/lumix and checking out their info on the ZS3. It is amazing.Then go to youtube and search for "tz7 night restaurant" and "20090514 ZS3 Sample Videos" to see some examples of the video and zoom. (note the ZS3 is known as the TZ7 in Europe).

I have found it best at 15 to approx. 40 ft. Up close it seems to blur. But, I am more than pleased with the Moultree D-444.
