Best Video Solution for The New Android Camera - Nikon COOLPIX S800C

Nikon announced the first camera using Android operating system - Nikon COOLPIX S800c on August 22, 2012. Until now, thanks to this smart camera, the gulf between smartphones and cameras is getting smaller.

As an Android smart device, Coolpix S800c has all the capabilities which other Android devices have. Users are allowed to use Google services. If you are in the mood, just play Angry Birds on the S800c if the battery limits. With built-in WiFi, beautiful images and recording videos can be confidently and quickly shared with friends and family, such as be uploaded to various social networks or other cloud services.

As a camera, Coolpix S800c really has strong abilities. It owns the wide and bright 3.5-inch touchscreen OLED monitor with resolutions of 1920 x 1080 (30 fps), 1280 x 720 (30 fps), and 640 x 480 (30 fps). You can not only shoot beaufitul 16.0 megapixel photos, but also Full HD videos, even in low light conditions. The optical 10x zoom NIKKOR lens covers from wide-angle 25-250mm, so either the largest group or action from afar is captured with clarity. For maximum creativity, the S800c has 18 filter effects, including the new Toy Camera effect, Pop and Super Vivid color filters, as well as Cross Process and Peripheral Darkening filters. USB and HDMI ports are also necessary in digital cameras. The storage included is 1.7GB.

The video format which Coolpix S800c only supports is MOV in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264. So, if you want to play videos on Coolpix S800c from sdcard or convert Coolpix S800c videos to more other formats, a video converter is enough.

It's interesting that the camera part of the S800c can run independently from Android while the operating system is still booting up. Rather than letting the camera stay on standby like most other Android devices, it uses a shut-down timer that activates once Android goes on standby. It means, when the camera's completely switched off, you will go straight into camera mode after hitting the power button. Then the interface goes back to smart mode after half a minute.

Additional, there is also built-in GPS in the smart device. It enables recording of shooting location information on stills and movies.

Nikon Coolplix S800c will arrive in US at $350 and UK at £379.

ASK

• I'm a london girl and I'm happy that Olympics is held in my city. I have use my dv and recorded many matches of my favorite basketball team in london olympics 2012. So how can i convert london olympics 2012 videos to iyoutube format? What do i need to convert london olympics 2012 dv-recording videos and uploat to youtube? Anyone knows?

Answer

London 2012 Olympic Games has already passed more than a half. I'm sure that many of you have record the meaningful videos by yourselves, maybe with TV Record Software on PC or DVs. And at the same time, most of you do want to share the recording videos on Youtube with others.

As we know, Youtube.com only supports several video formats:

• WebM files - Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codecs 
• .MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files - Typically supporting h264, mpeg4 video codecs, and AAC audio codec 
• .AVI - Many cameras output this format - typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM 
• .MPEGPS - Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio 
• .WMV 
• .FLV - Adobe-FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio

Different DV use different video formats. The most popular ones, such as AVCHD (.mts, .m2ts), .dv, .mod, and .tod are not in the list above. So, we need to make conversion first before uploading them to Youtube.

What we need:

• A professional video converter

Nowadays, finding a video converter on internet is not a hard thing. But notice if they support converting dv-recording video formats or not. Here is a free Video4Web converter, which can convert most part of video formats to popular video formats always used for web, such as .flv. After several steps, you will get what you want.

Step 1: Add dv-recording videos into Video4Web Converter

Step2: Choose the output video format

Step 3: Simple editing and setting. Video sharing websites always have time limited, and here you can crop videos.

Step 4: Convert and wait for the output videos

Finally, upload your recording videos to Youtube or show them on devices, such as iPad, iPhone, Galaxy Note and others.

How to Upload Canon Vixia HF M400 Videos to Youtube

ASK

• How to Upload Canon Vixia HF M400 Videos to Youtube?

Answer

The Vixia HF M400 uses the full AVCHD format for 1920 x 1080p high definition recording. It supports 24Mbps bit rate recording, the highest data-rate available in the AVCHD video format. It uses the same HD CMOS Pro image sensor found on the $1,500 HF G10 (and the $599 M40). According to Canon, this high-end sensor delivers much better low light performance and a much wider color gamut than traditional consumer-grade camcorder sensors. It does so, in part, because it uses fewer pixels that are larger in size and thus more sensitive to light. That's why the sensor has a resolution of 2-megapixels (so don't let the lower resolution figure scare you - less, in this case, is more).

There is a "Smart Auto" mode to automatically optimize your video exposure based on your shooting environment. You can also snap 2-megapixel still photos with the M400. There is a flash as well, which can aid in low light photography and keeping images crisp.

Since Youtube.com doesn't support AVCHD digital video format, including mts and m2ts, a m2ts to youtube converter is needed. After importing AVCHD videos to it, choose youtube video in output option.

How to add Sony Handycam HDR-CX130 videos into PowerPoint

ASK

• How to add Sony Handycam HDR-CX130 videos into PowerPoint?

Answer

Sony Handycam HDR-CX130 is an HD camcorder released by Sony, forming one half of the HD lineup in 2011. Flash memory cards are easy to swap out, nice design on the slot. Excellent recording in low-light conditions, picks up a fair amount of detail. Well balanced, easy to handle, feels comfortable while you shoot with it. Improved and more sensitive than before, the HDR-CX130's "Exmor R" CMOS sensor promises better footage in dim lighting conditions, such as indoors or at night. A 30x optical zoom lens and 42x extended zoom both find space, but the XR160's hard drive memory format was omitted in the CX130 in favor of a flash memory format, which accepts user-supplied SD cards. The camera shoots both 1920 x 1080 high definition videos and 3.3-megapixel still photos and ships in black, silver or blue.

With HDR-CX130, you will get output video in m2ts format. Absolutely, it is not available on Microsoft PowerPoint. Before adding Sony Handycam HDR-CX130 videos into PowerPoint, convert m2ts to avi. Then, follow the steps of inserting local videos into powerpoint.
