    Weekly Photo Contest - Jul 14 thru Jul 20 - Why did you take a picture of that?

    This is a close up of the board at Epcot that updates you with the wait times for rides... My daughter was so excited when she looked closely and said, "HIDDEN MICKEYS! Mom take a picture!" So I obliged. I'm sure some thought I was very strange - and my husband wondered what it was of when...

    extended warranties

    I've usually scoffed at the extended warranties - but when I bought my S3 - I went ahead and got it - it was 50 bucks, but I figured what the heck - I found the camera at a good price, so I'd add it on. that was April 2007. It was a 2 year warranty. Fast forward to May 2008 - stupid me left...

    Ok Photographers, How old are you?

    I recall my parents having a camera with a flash cube on the end? I guess it only could flash four times - LOL? Then it progressed to a longer flash thingie - maybe that had 10 flashes on it? OMG - I found this on youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eGZX_4EIEU I remember getting a...

    Underwater/waterproof cameras, cases and housings

    Does anyone have any recommendations for any underwater/waterproof casing for the Canon S5 (or similar sized bridge cameras)? I'd love to have a safe means of taking my camera around the water without being ultra paranoid of dropping it or even the seaspray getting on the lens. I googled and...

    Critique Picture

    How about this one? Why - I have no idea. Just picked a cool picture. Although I think my fave is that cool purple starfish. :) http://photos.barbierifamily.org/gallery/4634766_yVEhB#273583862_VB7Ue-A-LB

    choosing a camera for a child

    I wanted to add that I've never been thanked more for a present from my daughter! She was thanking us days later for the camera as well - and she isn't that excitable of a child - she's thankful - but not still gushing thank yous and hugs out of nowhere days later! She was soooooo excited...

    choosing a camera for a child

    We just got our 8 year old a Samsung S73 for her birthday. My 11 year old has a Samsung S630 which is essentially the same camera, just less megapixels. They come in cute colors (11 year old has pink, 8 year old just got a turquoise blue one). They are easy to use, they have fun kid/tween...

    Fix it or Buy new??

    I would call Canon first and talk to someone there. perhaps it's some sort of defect.

    New camera with dead pixels *updated*

    I would take it back too. It is brand new - for what you paid, it should be PERFECT!

    Canon S5

    Well - I figured out what the problem was - after I went out and bought a Sandisk Extreme sd card...which I guess I didn't really need after all....LOL apparently the problem was with playing the video from the memory card - I had stuck the memory card in my laptop and was playing the videos...

    Canon S5

    okay - I wiped my card of pictures and then formatted it - took another video and it skipped again. It's like it gets hung up and repeats whatever is said three times, then it moves forward and gets hung up again and the sound is repeated. Not clear at all. I will try the 32 mg card and see...

    extended warranties

    My 14 month old S3 fell off an end table two weeks ago - I had purchased the extended warranty from Staples. I called Staples (and was freaking because I only had the receipt - not the warranty info - I think I pulled it out at some point and forgot to refile it - bad habit of mine LOL). The...

    Canon S5

    it's pretty bad when my daughter's pink Samsung >$100 camera records smooth video - LOL - and my S5 doesn't! How do you format the memory card? I admit that I probably never did that! I think I popped it in when I got the S3 last year and just started taking pictures and didn't have any...

    Canon S5

    So do you think the problem is in my memory card?? Here's what I have. I don't really understand the "specs" if I could even find the comparisons online. I know this wasn't expensive though. What is the SDHC? How does that differ from SD?
