I've been to dpreview.com and read tons of reviews on many different cameras and I just can't decide what to do. I began looking at the Canon S3 IS, but once I actually saw it in the store, the pop-out screen is TINY and the store model was defective so the employee suggested the Panasonic DMC-FZ8, which unlike Canon supports shooting in RAW but also has much bigger noise issues.

I'm looking for something with at least 12X optical zoom, as I'm big into nature photography, at least 6 megapixels, and just overall versatility as I photograph whatever inspires me at the time, in all kinds of environments (low-light concerts, outdoor sports, landscapes, indoor portraits, etc).

I still don't really understand the benefits of shooting in RAW either, to see if that should be a priority feature for me or not, so would someone be nice enough to explain it to me in real-world terms?

And if you personally own a super-zoom camera, which one do you have and why did you choose it?

they seem biased towards Mets & Yankees, even when they aren't annouving a game with either team in it. And they are incredibly boring and insult my intelligence with elemenatry baseball facts. agree ? disagree ?

Wouldn't you like to have CBS or NBC have baseball's game of the week and World Series/Playoffs instead of Fox ??

how electricity do you think your average PC power supply uses in a month. How much would it raise your electric bill.

I have had 2 computers given to me and I already have 2 computers. I want to attach the new ones to the network, but If it raises my electric much, I want to pass on them.

I like to play pool and drink and chain smoke and listen to loud music-basically I like going to a bar. My husband will stay home and babysit while I go to a regular hangout spot. I get surprised looks all the time when I tell people (usually guys) that my husband lets me go out alone. Why is this so surprising? It isn't like I wear revealing clothes-I usually wear jeans & halter- and I don't try to pick anyone up- I just like to play pool--So, why is there such a problem with my being out alone??

Why are we building the worlds largest & most expensive embassy there? Shouldn't the American people have been
aware before now that we've spent $592 MILLION on Bush's
embassy in Iraq? I thought we were just there to liberate the Iraqi's and then eventually leave?

I am trying to start dating again. I live a straight edge christian lifestyle. The problem I am running into is that younger women are living a promisuous lifestyle. Constant partying. I like to have a good time, but in moderation. If I date older women, alot of them are unable to bear children, and are mentally broken due to what they did in their youth. They are broken down physically, more often than not, having multiple children by multiple guys. I feel like if I don't lessen my values, I am never going to be able to have a relationship. Yet if I do lessen those values and settle for a physically busted up alcoholic mental trainwreck, I am just asking for a failed relationship. What's a man to do?

My husband and I are kind of in a struggle for 'control' of the finances. He makes a lot of big decisions without me yet makes no payments [he works but doesn't physically handle the finances] on bills. While I understand he's trying his best to do what's right it's very frustrating. I would love for us to have one person 'in charge' [particularly me--LOL] who does everything [pays the bills and manages the accounts] but for us to discuss things together. This is the way it normally is but he has his moments when he just has an idea and he’s going to do it--without really knowing what he’s getting us into.

How do you handle finances in your marriage?

Do you have any suggestions on how we can be more successful and have less tension when it comes finances? We aren’t in debt and have excellent credit but it feels like we are constantly having to make our moves around mistakes or misunderstandings that my husband has/makes.

Thanks!

My intimate friend and I have been hanging around closely since 4 months up till now, ever since this time we share common subjects and humor and share each others happy and bad moments. He knows that I had a bad experience before and told me "Please, don't let your past pain destroys your present happiness, you are complete girl in my eyes, a girl any man would like to spend the rest of his life with." I honestly like him and his advice then he goes telling me "Allow me the chance to rebuild in you the confidence about men, is it possible that it can be you and me in the future?" Is he trying to cheer me up and advice me or is really having some feelings for me? I like him and I guess he likes me when he says "I like you much and you are special to me". So can be that trustworthy person especially when he says "Take enough time and am willing to wait whatever it takes and for many years". Though I like him am afraid to ruin our close friendship if we failed as lovers? any advice?

Stan came in last night minus his collar and limping slightly. I couldn't see anything wrong, he was eating and chasing our other cat around but this morning there is an open wound on his leg which I think must have been an abcess. He hadn't shown any signs of having one. Should I leave it alone to heal or use warm salt water? Vets aren't open till Monday and as he's eating/drinking OK and beginning to put his weight properly on it I want to try and avoid a large unnecessary bill also, he's a very nervous cat and I don't want to put added strain on him if it can be avoided. Any advice?

I have a boyfriend who is more then i could ever dream of. I didnt know it was possible to love someone this much until I met him. I really never dreamed i could be this happy and it gets better everyday.

We talk about getting engaged on our one year anniversary (and getting married after two years- one year engagement) and although IM SURE hes the one (and thats not my question) im wondering what the general publics opinion would be when hearing we got engaged after "only" one year. (by the way.. im 24, hes 23)

I dont really care what other people think but it is always nice to here other peoples opinions on things! (haha.. i guess its just nice to here what people would be saying behind my back... b/c i know everyone on here is honest!)

On June 1st, 2006, my bff told me that she was glad that God brought us together and that she loved me. This year, I told her that I didn't want to be friends anymore bcuz of what one of my other bffs did. We used to talk a lot last year (me and my current bff, the one that told me she loved me), but now we only talk once or twice every two to three months. I love this friend, but I want things to go back to how they were last year. Plz help me. PS: I don't know what she meant by telling me that she loved me, but I love her as a friend and as a person. That is it. Oh, and we're both girls. If that helps.
