Answer
You can use Windows Movie Maker, not the best program but it came free on your PC if you have XP or Vista. Open WMM and turn your camera on and put it playback and then capture your video with WMM. Add all your videos to the timeline and add menus and music, whatever. WMM has a HELP section whee you can learn all about it.

My advice is to get some good editing software. I use Pinnacle studio11 ultimate but there are many comparable softwares out there.

How much did a 1 megapixel digital camera cost in 2002?

What was the average cost?


Answer
I don't have any kind of real timeline other than my memory, but I believe the pixels were coming up by 2002. In the late 90s, the Sony Mavica range of digital cameras were about all there was available. They wrote to a floppy disc, and resolution was 1.5 megapixels if I remember correctly. Cost was near $1000. Photo quality was horrid, but it was digital, and had uses for web content and for putting small photos into Word documents.

Then as the new century rolled around, more point and shoot cameras started being produced. My first digital was a Nikon 990, 3.3 MP, which I got in early 2001. Cost was over $900 by the time I got a memory card and card reader. By the way, memory cards were VERY expensive at that time. A 2 gig CF card was an almost unheard of amount of storage, and it cost over $400. Most cards were only 256 MB or 512 MB. The Nikon 900 series of cameras were considered top of the line at the time, and even now can still give some decent photos. Most all cameras during this time frame were in the 2 MP area, so the 3.3 MP of the Nikon seemed really amazing.

DSLRs were almost non-existent. Canon was one of the first to produce a consumer DSLR, (it might have even been THE first). Anyway, the camera was the D30, and was 3 megapixels. I believe the price was over $5000 for the body. The D60 6 MP DSLR followed that, which was my first DSLR, which I still have and use. It became almost a cult item and was very hard to obtain. I had to pay almost $2500 for mine in 2002.

As each year has passed, cameras have become more prolific, much cheaper, and in most cases better.

Hope that is of some help to you.
