Q. Or which brand do you prefer?
I'm looking into purchasing a DSLR camera but i'm stuck on which brand to get. I've owned both Nikon and Canon digital camera's and i've noticed that Nikon has a poor picture quality. I'm unsure if that is also the case with Nikon's DSLR camera's. I'm also only an amature photographer that focuses on landscape, marco and portrait shooting. Any Suggestions on lens's would be great too!

Answer
I like canon Compact cameras more then I do Nikon, but in the DSLR run, Canon and Nikon are basically the exact same in every way. Its like Coke v. Pepsi. You have people that like Canon, and you have people that like Nikon
Either way, you will have to buy the camera and an extra lens or two for the macro and the portraits
you will have to tell us a budget for all the equipment, because the cheapest you can make it is about $1000 for what you want to do.
If you are a beginner, you can look at the Nikon D3000, D5000, and D3100 and the Canon Rebel Xs, T1i, and T2i. All of these are under $1000 with one lens
if you are more intermediate, the Nikon D7000 is a great camera, followed by the D300s. and these two are $1500-$1800 with a single lens.
as for lenses, this is a good all-around lens that can do portraits somewhat and can do macro

Canon has their equivalent
then you have probably the best portrait lens:

along with another macro lens.

Canon digital camera?
Be B
I just got a canon digital camera model a720. This camera also takes short videos...I read the instruction manual, 2 times.
How do I get the videos off of the camera and to the computer?
Step by step please?
Answer
I don't know your camera's exact model but this is what I do for my cannon,
a) Pop the memory card out (should be an flap ont he side of your camera that you can push the card in and it then pops out)
b) you then insert it into your computer, or an external memory card reader which hooks into your computer via a USB port.
c) go to 'my computer' click your memory card and navigate to your video that you took and copy / cut and then paste it into a folder on your computer.
Voila, theres one way to do it. :-D
Number 2
a) your camera should have come with software (on a CD) and a cable.
b) install the software
c) hook your cable into your camera
d) do the same thing you do for taking off your pictures but somewhere in the stpes there should be an option to take the videos off the camera or take the pictures, choose videos.
Way 3 (this is just an idea, I'm not 100% sure on this one)
a) take that cable used in way 2 and plug in your camera to your computer, then you might be able to navigate from my computer to your camera and pull the files off similarly to way 1.
If you didn't get a CD or cable with your camera, then you need to return the camera or go ask the store that you bought it from. If you have a memory card slot on your computer (which many new computers do have) then use that, it's the easiest way to pull pictures, and videos off your camera.
Hope that was helpful ;-)
