Consumer Electronics - 4 January 2007

In relation to the cameras, digital and optical have a zoom range of 1x to 20x or more. In layman’s term , what is the equivalent distance of 1x? is it 1x = 1ft?, or1x = 1 meter? If I need to get a better picture with a distance of 100 meters, what kind of camera must I purchase? With the same inquiry above, if I prefer a video camcorder, what are your suggestions? Thank you.

It's a loud "wonk" noise, doesn't seem to affect the TV's performance.

Our son received a Nintendo DS Lite for Christmas. My question is what is the safest and best way to clean the screens on it, especially the touch screen on the bottom? They are covered in fingerprints and spit spots! LOL from when he is screaming at the game and "sprays" a little. Any help is appreciated.

I recently bought a 60 GB Playstation 3 and it only got 55, and before that I bought an Ipod video 60 GB and it only had 55. Do they do it to save money or they don't have control over it? think about it an Ipod nano 2 gigabyte can cost up to $100, so are companies hoping that you will ignore it and move on?? And is not that I can return my ps3 for another one cause they're sold out.

Is there any way to find out if someone has caller id? Like a website that you can type in a phone number and it will tell you if they have caller id?

.xm files are music files but no one seems to know they exist. I was wondering if anybody has heard of it and how to convert it to .mp3. And NO it does not have anything to do with XM radio.

It's like a power strip, except with USB ports. You plug it into a USB port on the computer. It's a box that will expand your USB capabilities to about 8 ports. I want to buy one online, but I don't know what it's called. And also, what is the average price for one?

I just bought a digital vidio camera that records on to mini DVD's. It can also record to a memory stick/ SD card.

I noticed that cards vary in price say a 1Gig from $35 to $150 is there a marked difference in speed and quality for these cards ? They use terms like 100x, multi media type and various other notations. The $35 card has a lifetime warrenty so is it just a speed issue.

Is writing to mini DVD disks better than writing to SD Mem cards?

Thanks in advance

I want to take sharp shots in a gym which has low light. I bump up my ISO level to the highest (1600), I try and use the built in flash, and I try to get as close as I can to the action, and yet my pictures come out really poor like blurs, redish tint, low light areas, etc. I did try taking it all in RAW format but I do not have the time to edit all my pictures.

My question is, is Canons 28-55mm kit lens slower than normal lens (compared to other Canon f/3.5), and do I need to purchase lens with IS and a external flash unit. (I have a Canon Rebel XTi)

Regular ear buds (like for an ipod) hurt my ears after a short while. Is there anything like a bud made of soft silicone or the like?

Are my earphones crapping out or is it my ipod shuffle? I've heard static a few times but nothing more except today it was different. I heard a loud staticy sound and then it shocked my ear, it was slightly painful. Oddly enough, 3 times the static happened it was at the same location (at the bus loop). Any clue why that's happening or is it time for a new ipod?
