Streaming with Nikon coolpix p530?

I stream on twitch.tv which is a live broadcasting website.

I have this camera as a gift and want to use it for live streaming. Please advise:

1. How do I prevent the screen on the camera from turning off when I plug in the USB cable

2. How do I display my cameras screen onto my monitor (3rd part program etc?) Xsplit currently doesn't recognize it as a camera. Or anything else. So what do you suggest to make this happen?

Nikon Coolpix S6200 screen is all black?

My Nikon Coolpix S6200's screen is completely black, so I can't see anything in it when the camera is on. If I take a photo, the flash goes off, but if I try to look at the photo, the screen just stays black. Everything work properly except for this problem. I can change settings and everything else, but I just can't take photos.

Which camera and mic is better?

This summer, I'm shooting a documentary film on a factory, and I want to know which camera has a better picture outcome: the Nikon Coolpix 510, or the Canon Vixia HF R400. And, what are some cheap but great mics (under $50) I could possibly buy?
Thanks,
Riley

CAMERA DILEMMA! Sony Cyber-shot, or Nikon Coolpix?

I'm going travelling for 2 months, and need a small compact digital camera to take with me.

I've been going through so many cameras, and have finally narrowed it down to two:
- Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W180B or,
- Nikon Coolpix S2800

They both pretty much have the same specs - 20mp, CCD sensor, panoramic settings. I've been trawling through reviews to see if there is anything that distinguishes between the two but they've all been surprise surprise - the same sort of reviews.

There was one website which only rated the Nikon a 3/5, because of lacking features and battery life. This to me makes no difference.

At first I thought I'd go for the Sony, but the difference in price is only £20, but for the same sort of camera, is it worth spending the extra £20?

Has anyone got, or had either of these two cameras who could help me out in deciding which one to get?

Thanks everyone!

How many pictures/videos will fit on a 8gb SDHC card for 8mp camera?

I'm going to be buying a 8mp camera to take to me to Mexico in a month and I'd like to buy a storage card at the same time. I was wondering how many pictures will fit on this card? Also, how many minutes of video will fit on this card? If it helps, I'll be purchasing the Nikon Coolpix L18 camera. Thanks!

Should you format a memory card before using it?

I didn't format my last memory card before using it on my nikon coolpix camera… And often times I would go back to look at my pictures and several of them would come up as saying no picture memory found or something like that

would formatting ahead of time help this?
if so, how?

I liked Nikon a lil bit more because of this video.

But I don't know how Fujifilm would be in such situation.

Anyway, Which do you think I have to buy?
