Importing videos from Canon camera to computer?

canon digital camera eos rebel t3 image

BethAny

I connected the camera (canon eos rebel t3) which i just recently got, to a mac computer and the camera blinks red once and the lcd screen turns black.. i'm wondering why it does this.. nothing happens on the computer screen.. how do i get my videos onto the computer?
please help me.. i really need an answer.
thank you very much.

Answer
Unfortunately, Canon requires you copy the software that came with the camera in order to copy image files from the camera to your computer. You will need to find your installation disc that came with your T3 and install it on the Apple computer

This is why those of us who have been using digital cameras for over a decade, use card readers. No additonal software is needed. With an Apple computer, you can use the card reader and Finder to copy all the images to your computer. With a PC, you can use Windows Explorer to do the same thing

What is the difference between these two cameras?

Electricvi

I know that camera A comes with accesories, but there is no other difference between the cameras (Not even the price!). I am new to DSLR and SLR cameras, so I don't know much about them. Which buy would be better?

Camera A: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Canon-Black-EOS-Rebel-T3-Digital-SLR-Camera-Bundle-4GB-SD-Card-and-Bag-with-Additional-Bonus-16GB-Memory-Card-and-Tripod/21997675

Camera B: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Canon-12.2MP-5157B002AA/15754560?findingMethod=Recommendation:wm:RecentlyViewedItems
I realized that the camera not in the bundle comes supports RAW files, which are better to edit and are not compressed. Which one should I get based on that?

Answer
The bundle has accessories that you probably wouldn't buy elsewhere and it would be pricey if you try to buy them one by one. I would get the bundle.

What two lenses should I get with my Digital SLR Camera?

canon digital camera eos rebel t3 image

Carrie

This is the camera I will be getting Canon Black EOS Rebel T3 Digital SLR.
We take photos from everything from, portraits, flowers, insects, various events, a lot of outside stuff.

Answer
When I came upon your question you had added your favorite subjects. When I reentered the DSLR market after using bridge cameras and film cameras where you could focus as close as a 5x7 print, I realized that TWO extra lenses in addition to the lens 28-55mm that came with the camera was necessary. And if you want to get particular a third (portrait lens) is necessary.
The following is why if you read my comments, when giving advise to newbies, I often refer to DSLR's are "money pits".
With my new Pentax Kx I got the usual 28-55mm. Then added the 50-200mm lens. Makes a great all around kit. BUT then macro entered, I could not take flower,etc. So I looked around and bought the $850 100mm lens on the used market for about $500. (it is an earlier model lens from the film era,-thankyou Pentax). Now what to do about portraits. My wife and I are in our 70's so we don't want "crystal clear show every speck" pictures. I called Tiffen filter co. and they suggested a Tiffen Warm Soft F3 for $48.00. Works get but to my tastes I am going to go for abit softer yet. I use the "warm soft on the long end of my 50-200mm lens, usually about 150mm.

Hope my experiences & how I solved them help you.

Good Luck

do you guys know what the tax would be if i bought a Canon EOS Digital Rebel T3 12.2-Megapixel Digital SLR?

Lallal Lal

like the camera is 600. but do you guys know how much it would be with the tax? also, can this camera video record? the camera is called Canon - EOS Digital Rebel T3 12.2-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera it. i will buy it at best buy it makes a difference in the tax. the bestbuy is in orange county, california.

Answer
Not only does it vary from state to state, but it also varies from county to county and even in some municipalities.
If you figure 10% or $60 you should be on the safe side.
Best Buy doesn't ever have the best prices on anything-they're usually really kind of high in price.
If you order from www.adorama.com there should be no tax and no shipping charge to CA. It's worth waiting 2 days for the savings.
$549 at Adorama: http://www.adorama.com/ICAT3K.html
You'd save about $100 bucks at least. If you chose 3 day delivery at $15 it's still cheaper than the camera at Best Buy WITHOUT the tax.

What Digital SLR camera should I buy?

Hello. I am finally ready to upgrade my current Digital SLR camera (Sony) and need some advice. I want something that is fairly easy to use, takes great pictures and isn't too big since I will be using it to take pictures of my two year old and travel.

I was looking at the Canon EOS Rebel T3 w/18-55mm but would like some other suggestions. Any information would help! I don't know much about photography, but with the new camera I am hoping to educate myself a little more!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Answer
Depends on your budget, really. But you can get some cracking deals on ebay. Like the above answerer said, the D3100 is a good choice and is a lot cheaper than it used to be. Alternatively I would go for the D5100 - it is a little more expensive but has recently come down in price by about £80 due to the latest model (which really isn't worth the extra money) coming out. I AM a little biased to the D5100 because I've owned one for 4 months now and it's just fantastic for both video and image quality. The image quality beats even cameras that are a couple of hundred £s more, and is on a par with the D7000 which is around £675. You can probably pick up a D5100 for like £375 new off ebay, with kit lens.

Is the Canon EOS Rebel T3 a good starter SLR camera?

Zoe

I'm going shopping tomorrow morning on Black Friday and there is a deal for the Canon EOS Rebel T3 SRL camera. Is that a good beginner SRL camera?

Answer
By the way it's SLR (Single Lens Reflex) in this case a DSLR = Digital.

I'm a Canon guy and I only recommend what I own and therefore know. Canon dslr cameras in the Rebel line are serving me very well. I highly recommend anything in the Rebel line which the t3 is.

But know this, it's not a point & shoot pocket toy. It's a bit complicated. If you're interested in real photography this will be a good place to start. If you're only interested in pocket toy style snapping then I would suggest against a dslr.

Can you move photos to a different folder on a Canon EOS Rebel T3?

canon digital camera eos rebel t3 image

Madison

I'm kind of a neat freak, and I like to organize my photos on my camera. I have some photos on folder 100, and some photos on folder 105 which makes the photos on 105 always appear first on playback. Is there any way to move a photo to a different folder on a Canon EOS Rebel T3? I've tried already, and there's no information in the manual, so I'm just checking. Thank you!

Answer
Your digital camera will continue saving new photos into the folders "100", "105", etc... according to DCIM specification, whatever you'll rename them on your flash card. So you'll receive a mess of folders at the end.

Flash card is just a temporary place to store your photos, like other guys said here.

The friend of mine stored his photos on his large capacity flash card for a long time. He thought to move them to his computer once the flash card will be filled in. And at the end of the year his noname card reader damaged his entire flash card. He spent a lot of time trying to recover the photos but only 10-15% of the photos were recovered. Most of the digital memories were completely lost...
