waterproof sports camera image
Q. I have a 'Kodak Play sport' waterproof film camera that I have recently been trying to film on. The film quality is brilliant, and the audio quality fairly good, but only on the camera. When I import it onto my computer, the audio and video in both WMP (Windows Media Player) and WMM (Windows Movie Maker).
Any suggestions on how I can:
a) Remove audio lag using WMM.
b) Stop audio lag altogether on my camera.
c) Suggest an alternative free media editing suite to do a) with.
Thanks,
MiJ.

Answer
Clarification: You are "filming". There is no *film* involved. The digital video (and audio) device you are using captures video.
As you indicated during playback, the audio and video are in synch. When the media file is transferred to the computer, the audio and video are not in synch. This symptom (also sometimes referred to as being "glitchy", is *usually* due to the computer for one or more of the following reasons:
* The computer's CPU is underpowered for dealing with the video recorded.
* The media player cannot deal with the video.
* The computer does not have enough RAM.
* The computer does not have enough available hard drive space.
* The computer is doing other work using CPU cycles that the video needs to play properly.
For playback only, try VLC player from http://www.videolan.org/ as it is more robust than WMP. As for editors - in the Windows environment, Sony Vegas usually floats to the top... But not knowing the computer environment makes this a SWAG...

What camera would photographers use while taking photos of bodyboarders/surfers?
Dixeynormo
What specific cameras would they use? What brand/model and what protective cases would be used in order to make it water proof/strong enough against the oceans force
Answer
You want a tele or telezoom lens, the faster the aperture the better.
Something like a 70-200 f2.8 is the classic sports shooters lens, and most of them have the benefit of being internal focus and remaining a constant length as you zoom (an important factor with housings, as often they cannot extend with the lens.
You want a camera with a good fast frame rate and with as many cross type focus sensors as possible, so look at a Nikon D300s or Canon EOS 7D. There are cheaper cameras out there, but they lack the same speed and / or AF sophistication.
Sigma do a good 70-200 f2.8 (the EX DG II) which is far less expensive than the branded Canon or Nikon lenses)
Aquapac do a good flexible waterproof lining, which is good to 5meters depth.
