Mr. X-CLU$


I plan on doing some YouTube videos in the future, but the problem is that my room is kinda dark, and my cellphone is terrible when it comes to dark areas. Are there any cameras for $200 or under for low light situations?
If not in my price range, anything not too expensive is fine.



Answer
Your question #1: What is the best camcorder/camera for low light situations?
Response: Any camcorder with a large lens diameter (to let light in to the camcorder/camera) and large imaging chip (to process what little light comes in through the lens when it is dark.

Your question #2: "Are there any cameras for $200 or under for low light situations?"
Response: No.

"not too expensive" means different things to different people.

Consumer grade camcorders start at the low end with small (less than 30mm) diameter lenses and small (less than 1/6") single imaging chip. As the price goes up, the lens diameters and imaging chips get larger. At around $400, the lens diameter is around 37mm and the imaging chips can get as large as 1/4". At around $800 the lens diameter is around 43mm and the imaging chips approach 1/3". At around $1,200 the lens diameter is around 58mm and the imaging chips are around 1/3". As you continue up the price spectrum to high-end consumer (sometimes called "prosumer") camcorders, $3,000 finds 72mm lens diameter with 3CCD or 3CMOS 1/3" imaging chip arrays - these do quite well under low-light conditions.

So... what can you do if you can't afford a camcorder/camera that can behave well under low light conditions? It depends what you are capturing to video, but one relatively easy way (assuming you will be editing the video with a half decent editor) is to add LOTS of light so your room is no longer dark - then, using your editor, make it look dark... This is call shooting "day for night".

When you go this route, use whatever camera/camcorder you want - and make the investment in lighting and a decent video editor - not a camera/camcorder. For $200, assuming your computer has a fast CPU, 4 gig RAM or more and lots of hard drive space - Sony Vegas is affordable and a couple or three worklights from the hardware store like

would be plenty.

I wish to transfer Data from my old computer to the new, both using windows XP. What is the Definition of a?

Serial cable, i have a cable that fits, i want to check connections, i have a meter`.


Answer
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here but here's my best attempt at an answer.

A serial cable means a cable where data is sent 1 bit at a time. It normally refers to a 9 pin RS232 cable which is pretty old technology. USB, firewire and ethernet cables are all serial too. All of them in theory could be used to transfer data between 2 computers.

If I were you I'd get a usb flash drive or portable hard drive if there's alot of data.

If you want to test your cable, the wikipedia page on RS232 has pinout information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rs232#Pinouts
but generally, if the cable fits then use it.

I believe it's normal that the rx and tx lines crossover (ie, rx connects to tx on the other computer and tx connects to rx on the other computer).
