I made a few videos.and I want to get them from the video camera to the computer. How would I do that? I plugged in the cord and nothing happened, I turned on the camera.and still nothing. It is from Sony and on the side it says Carl Zeiss Vario - Sonnar Super Steady Shot. What do I do to upload it? Step by step.please so an 11 year old could understand it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ron from Great Camera... if youre willing to learnI make my living as a photographer. And I agree with the old adage that the best camera is the one you have with you.If Im working I put together the gear I need to get the job done... I have a lot of it after 40 years. A lot of this gear is heavy to lug around and so darned expensive that double checking to see if its safe is not a joy. But thats how you get great shots.That only makes up a part of my life. The rest of the time Im being a normal human being. One of the things I enjoy daily is taking my dogs for a walk... and they are big and single-minded. Packing a dslr and dealing with them is just too much and way too risky. For years Ive packed a subcompact (usually Sonys) that, at a reach, could capture that unexpected opportunity. I wear them on a long lanyard around my neck that goes to my big front pocket and keep it in an easily accessible a neoprene sleeve... sometimes a cut down wool sock top (so it comes out easier and faster).The HX99 seemed too good to be true... and if you leave it on Program or Automatic you will more often than not get mediocre shots (as with every camera). One reviewer said the menu was impossible to understand. One said he didnt need another camera with endless ways to get a bad shot. Its a complicated and unbelievably feature rich serious camera and a casual photographer would be better off buying something thats easier to use.But for a professional photographer with the patience and experience to realize the full potential of the camera... its a little miracle.It is full of compromises (what camera isnt)... but in the right hands you can pull professional images from it. Usable commercial images. Its that good.Word of advice: Sony has pulled this amazing little camera off by fitting it inside a very narrow window of prosumer perimeters. For example dont be greedy. The zoom is unbelievable. And pretty darn crisp from end to end. And outside with plenty of light you can get a great image at full some using ISO 100. But dont try any additional crops or digital zooming. Your zoom is your crop. Keep that in mind and Ive taken usable shots at up to ISO 800. The stabilization is amazing... and I use a lot of Nikon VR lenses. I cant speak to the video yet, but even offering 4k at 30fps is pretty exceptional. And the little Ive done so far leads me to believe that the same guidelines I mentioned for photos will be the same for video.In conclusion... if you want a point and shoot for family photos you are wasting your money on this camera. If you fit into the category that I do in my photography... and believe that the best camera is the one you have with you... this camera will challenge and delight you.P.S. If you are hamfisted and prone to dropping things this may not be the camera for you. This is not a camera to throw in your back pocket. It is built lighter than its much more expensive brothers... lighter in construction... but a real featherweight machine on the positive side, because of it.Ron Thierfelder
