Im looking to buy a new video camera, I want one that i can put a fish eye lens on. I am not looking for a professional camera, just one i can get some narley snow footage on.

All details are on their home page.

I wanna buy fish eye lens but Im kind of confused about it. So what fish eye lens go with what pont and shoot diital camera

You will have to do that research yourself. http://www.dpreview.com. Look for cameras that have a lens thread listed on its specs.

Before you look, you may want to go to the Sony website and see what add-on lenses are available and for which cameras.

You may want to do a cost analysis of the basic P&S camera and the add-on lenses you want ... you may find that buying a DSLR, could cost about the same as a DSLR has a sensor that is over 15 times the size of point and shoot cameras and have interchangelble lenses as well.

I keep seeing videos where people have a slight fish-eye lens for their camera. For example, Mitchell Davis' 50 things video:

I really love the effect of it. I have a fish-eye camera, but i'm not sure where to get one of these lenses/camera or what its called.

It's an ordinary wide angle lens which is common on low cost cameras especially because it includes all of people when you are too close to them. On the other hand, you have to get really, really close to fill the picture with a person's face. If it were 35mm film, it would be 25-30mm lens instead of "normal" 50-55mm. Not sure what it is on video cameras.

i am making a snowboarding video and i want one of those cameras that has a fish eye effect. Do i need a specific camera or can i just use a video edditing software?

You can use a video editing software. Just add a pinch filter and blur the edges in a circular pattern. Then blur the outline. Or, you can buy the lens specifically for your camera online or something.

im new to ice fishing and have fished on about 2 ponds. and i have had absolutely no luck! i have not had one bite in about two days. and im fishing on a fairly small pond so its not like they can be to far. ive fished the sides, middle, just about everywhere i can think of. the water is only about 8 feet in the deepest parts. and even with an aqua vu fish camera i still have not even seen a fish approach my lure, or a fish period. and i know there are tons of fish in there because i fish there all summer. what could i be doing wrong!?! i have a small ice fishing pole, and i dont want to use tip ups because i find that extremely boring i want a pole in my hand. i have bunch of jigs, and tons of other ice fishing lures. the line is not visible to fish, and i am using berkley maggots. what am i doing wrong!?! what areas should i be targeting? fallen trees? or the deepest parts of the pond? the fish that are in the pond include bass, catfish, panfish, and odly enough a few coi. so what can i do!?!? i am realy desperate because i dont want to have cabin fever like i normaly do every year.

I would approach the pond with two tactics....both using live baits.

#1: Try using baitfish like minnows hooked lightly through the upper lip/nose so it can still open its mouth to breath. For the hook use a "small" leadhead jig of about 1/32 or even 1/64 ounce in weight. If you have an Aqua-Vu and you see NO fish, move your location until you do. If you can't see them, they can't see your bait either. The bass, catfish, and bigger panfish will be attracted to the activity of your minnow. The fish can be at any level of the 8 feet pond, but I would start near the bottom and work my way up gradually from there.

#2: I would repeat the same method above only I would use a different bait. Try using about a third of a nightcrawler and slide it on the hook just enough for the front end where you tore it off to be slipped up and over the leadhead. This is a method I created for fishing the jigs and it is called "turtleknecking" because if you do it right, the jig looks like it's wearing a turtleneck sweater. About half or two thirds of the worm will still extend away from the hook and the twisting gyrations of the worm almost always provide iIrresistibletemptations to fish. The alternative to the worm is to attach three or four maggots hooked once and lightly through their tails. They too will prove too enticing for most fish to resist. Using these methods, I have caught bass, northern pike, walleye, yellow perch, bluegills, crappie, a small muskie, and three kinds of trout. I use the method and similar baits with great success here in Alaska for catching grayling, trout, and landlocked salmon. It works! Go for it, and GOOD LUCK!

no it wouldn't be illegal, but it probably wouldn't be the smartest idea, because you could loose it.</p>

Any adaptations on fishing equipment would be nice as well. Ty!

With all the underwater cameras now available what is the best one to go with? Is there a review that has them all side by side?
I have a fish finder - the showdown. In my opinion way better than the Marcom and Vexilars at a better price using better technology - you can zoom in ANY portion of the water cloumn you want. Both means any depth, and any window size.

Please keep your answers to the cams only thanks

Thumbs up to Bobber, Cole and Curtis.

Aqua View is the "best", (although there ARE really expensive ones beyond the AV which, in my opinion, is overkill). I've got a Fish TV and it works fine, but I "baby it" because I know it isn't a very durable camera.

(Baby it? My Fish TV ALWAYS comes "inside" and stays in a warm environment when not in use; not just thrown in a bucket in the garage for next year.)

Most of my friends have Aqua Views. Here is a couple places where you can read reviews on the Aqua View - http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp;jsessionid=F0YBTEODJDDGZLAQBBJSCN3MCAEFIIWE?id=0062633020067a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntk=Products&QueryText=aqua+view&sort=all&Go.y=7&_D%3AhasJS=+&N=0&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form23&Go.x=26&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1

(Take the Cabelas reviews with a grain of salt. Obviously they have no idea HOW to use their camera! There are RULES to using a camera while Ice fishing! You don't just dump it down a hole and NOT expect fish to get spooked! If you dropped anything that size down a hole it would spook fish!

Cameras should strictly be used for finding structure and "watching your lure or bait". Thats it! You DON'T use it to FIND FISH! That's what your Vexilar/flasher is for!

You should drill another hole (about 4-5 Ft away) and point your camera AT your Ice jig. By watching the camera you can manipulate/work your lure JUST like a REAL fish. AND you get to see the reactions of the fish TO your lure. That's the "real deal" with cameras. )

Hope this helps ya?

Lake Mendota in WI to be exact
Should I go deeper, towards the middle, shallow waters, etc. I have an underwater fish camera and i've seen one northern swim by this whole winter. i've seen people catch them with tip ups but i rather not use that method. i want to know where they are feeding or just were they are located.

Big fish like to go out to eat in much the same fashion as we do and for most of the same reasons. (HUNGER!) We don't live at the local burger barn or pancake palace and neither do the fish. They prefer to hold in deeper water or in or above certain habitats, but when hunger happens, they head for the nearest find of fast food. If your Aqua-Vu (or ?) shows you an abundance of bait fish, it will just be a matter of time before the big fish and their big appetites will be showing up for the banquet. Northern tend to feed more so early in the morning and just before nightfall and those are the target times when I would be there looking for them. The challenge will be to offer them something they want as much as the bait fish they have already been accustomed to dining on. Good luck.

just bought a diana flash for my diana and fish eye lomo camera and would like to know how I can use it on my digital SLR camera which has a hot show. How can I get them to sync? Many thanks!

Unless you know the trigger voltage of the Diana flash I wouldn't risk your Canon 400D. Many older flash units had trigger voltages as high as 500 volts - more than enough to completely fry your DSLR. Your Canon likes a trigger voltage of 5 to 6 volts. I looked over a list of flash trigger voltages but the Diana wasn't listed.

I suggest buying a Canon flash for your Canon DSLR and using the Diana flash on the Diana.
