Funny thing is I sold all my higher end HD sony handy cams and wanted something to maybe shoot a video with at home.Well I got one of these dang Webbies and in most any application around a pool table this little camera has as good of video quality as any camera I have had.....amazing !! Sorry all you fire wire streamers NO fire wire but USB is a option as well as composite and you can't beat the price .I found one refurbished with a warranty on Ebay for less than $100 shiped !!! Every pool player needs one for practice.....roll your own ,room owners and tournament directors ......stream your own. Sony ROCKS !!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bBToQ-c2hA&feature=related My only draw back is the internal battery but if you are using it in a static application ,just plug it in .

Monday nothin goin on so a good time to bump this up.

If Matt says this is a good camera you better beleive it.

His streaming was second to none. So it's obvious he knows good equipment when he see's it.

How long can you record with a memory stick?
 
Thanks for the info, going to look into getting one of these.

For streaming, do you need to record then stream, or does the PC pick this thing up as a web cam type device?

When you record on a lit table, do you need to pick a setting to reduce the white "Bloom" from the lights?

This cam won't work for streaming.
 
Thank you

This cam won't work for streaming.

Oh Technical God of Wisdom Pffft !!! its got a composite video out so you would need a video capture device or card to stream with it . I have only shot footage with it not streamed.......but coming from someone who could not tell me what kind of processor was in his computer I will just grin and bear it . Call Sharken maybe he can tell ya :rolleyes:

check to be sure

I believe that a 16 gb card will give you 4-5 hours.If you are using the battery and not the AC it will only last 2 hours tops on a single charge.
Check behind me on sony's web site to make sure.

Thanks Zilla , It would not let me give you any more rep.Just throwing out some ideas for those of us who pay for our own equipment and work out our own salvation.;)

http://com.puter.tv/sony-webbie-hd-mhspm1/5759/ this model has built in web cam mode for streaming .
Although it does not have the 5 x zoom . Does seem that both cameras have issues streaming with vista.

You get more personable all the time.

Prospective streamers,

Trust me, don't buy this cam for streaming. By the time you buy what you need to make a good stream, you could have bought a much better cam.

Like Earl says "A beauty, a real beauty " Ray , you are great in person or maybe youre just a good salesman ? You just jump in wherever and whenever on here like some self appointed leader .You even go as far as to start and end your own threads (strange). Maybe you spend too much time on the road these days,if you are talking to yourself and answering they say that's how it all starts.All I tried to do here was point some people in the direction of a "cheap" camera and you gotta put your two cents in. I really don't think I do that to much of anyone on here let alone you. Honestly, I have tried and tried to be nice to you and will continue to do so .I don't dislike you at all. I really feel for you and your actions at times and just don't understand it .If I did not like you or was not "personable" I would not of recomended your operation to the Seminoles instead of picking up the work for myself. What is really the kicker for me with you is you make streaming a foot race .Yes it's good to have nice quality streams and be on top of technology ,but what used to be great about it was people did it for the love of it ....some looked good some looked bad ,but hey , everyone doing it was having fun .....it was not a foot race to see who could be the best at it or make the most $$ .SDE gets my vote on quality and character , he is very quiet about it but has slowly improved over time .It just seems like whenever there is chance for you to be heard or put in the spot light you jump up for the dance.Well be careful my friend the sun don't shine on the same dogs rear end all day ....the earth moves. What is hip today ,tomorrow may be passe.I'm sure you will have a quick answer to jump in and once again end the thread and look like a dominant self appointed stream thread leader. Why not just call it the Big Truck thread and be done with it . I got a life .........geeeezus

You posted a camera in the stream section that is a bad choice for streaming. Yes I will jump in.

I appreciate the many people that have helped my show get where it is. I always appreciate critiques of my show, commentary and advertising. The ones that can't don't last long in this business.

Myself and the stream team are now helping other streams to achieve the same picture quality as The Bigtruck Show. I have made several wrong choices on equipment, which cost 1,000's of dollars. We are committed to sharing those experiences and looking out for anyone that wants to stream as an affiliate.

The little Sony is a cool cam for kicking around, but not as a streaming camera.

Have a nice day.

I recently got on on ebay. The maximum file size is 2gb which allows for about 20-25 minutes of recording. You can continue recording after that but in a different file.

When I transfer to a dvd using pmb it only allows me to put one file on a dvd. Have you found a way around that?

Never mind, I figured it out.
