Is there a point and shoot digital camera with optical zoom while recording a video?

Is there a good quality point and shoot digital camera that allows for optical zoom while recording a video? Not digital zoom, which just crops the frame you already have and makes the video blurry and undefined, but optical zoom, which actually zooms into what ever you’re looking at without the blurriness of the digital zoom. Thanks so much for your help :)
Is there a camera with all of the qualities above that is compact. For example, a camera that could fit in a jacket pocket.

you can consider buying Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 12.1MP Digital Camera
# 27mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens;
# 18x optical zoom with POWER O.I.S.
# HD movies with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution; AVCHD Lite format
# 2.7-inch TFT LCD screen

Is it possible that someone can download a emailed digital tape recording to their digital tape recorder?

I want to email a tape recording of something to someone so that they can hear it, but be able to download it to their digital tape recorder to play it, because it is very long (20 hours) and I don’t want to disturb the integrity of it. I would like to send it to The Media. Is that possible?

Why not play it on their computer?
They can play it on their recorder only if it recognizes and plays back the format of your recorder.

You can send it as an attachment.

What is a good digital recording device for playing piano?

that is in the $100-$200 range.. My best friend is a pianist and he needs a better recording device so he can record songs and put them on a cd. I’m thinking of getting him one for his 19th birthday. =)

If he could use a keyboard set up to sound like a piano, it would be possible to download or buy some reasonable recording software either cheaply or for free, and all that would be needed on top is the cables to connect it to the computer. Or you can buy studio time relatively cheaply instead, and in that case it would be easy to record the actual piano live.

How do i downlaod recordings off a digital recording device onto my computer?

Its made by sony and it didn’t come with a cord but i have one that works.

You did not state which Sony digital recording device you have.

Most likely you can connect it to your computer via USB and turn it on. Then look for it in My Computer. It should show up as a new device. Click on it and look for a folder that says Audio or something else. Click on that and look for your recordings. They may be numbered by time and date and will be in .wav format or Mp3 format. From there, you can copy or drag them to where ever you want to save them on your hard drive.

Can someone recommend an inexpensive digital recording software.?

In my job I dictate reports into an analog recorder. Analog allows me to rewind and review my statements then either record over errors or continue from my last point. We are switching over to digital. Is there an inexpensive software I can buy that allows the same type of functions as analog.

audacity. it’s free.

What is the difference between linear and digital recording ?

I’m looking into purchasing a portable field recorder and wonder what are my best options….

All depending on what you want to record in the field. They both can basically do the same thing, it’s just a slight difference in quality and storage space. Digital is the easiest way to go.

how can digital voice recording be amplified and reduce background noise?

have an olympus 4100 digital voive recorder and have some background noise needs to be reduced and amplifi the voices.

The best method would be to run the audio the audio through an EQ. Human voice centers around 1000 hz. Use the controls on the EQ to raise the voices. You can isolate the back round noise by raising different frequency’s on the EQ. Once found, lower those frequency’s. HVAC noise is most likely the biggest problem. I suspect you will find that to be around 350-500 Hz. It would be best to use an EQ with level control. This will also allow you to do an overall gain of the signal.

external hard disks, with standard video jacks, connected to TV and receivers, used for digital recording ?

its a device exactly like old VCRs ( video cassette recorders ), but fuctioning completely digital. it records on its internal HDD.
it has multiple inputs for S-video, and standard composite cables.
what is that unit called ? i want to buy one, but i donno what to look for exactly !

thnx in advance

What you want is a DVR. You can get Standalone ones such as TiVo and some DVD recorders with built in HDD.

You can get providers DVRs, which are basically their receivers with an HDD that records their digital signal directly.

Lastly would be a computer DVR, which you can get a card for your computer that can record from antenna, cable or a box.
