I started trying to reset the shutter, but I didn't know what the contacts were when I took out the old batteries. Could you tell me how to do it manually as well? Also, what kind of film should I get for this camera? Beside film, what else do I need to start shooting?

I own a Powershot A60, I love all the manual features it allows but I cannot take pictures with "depth of field". Do you know of a similar digital camera that would allow me to create this effect? Is there a way to know which cameras can do it?

I`m having a weird problem with my adsl line.It works fine when I`m not on the phone.The minute I receive a call the connection(ADSL) will be lost. I only get reconnected when I change filters.I have about five filters that I recycle through. I have the ADSL nation XF 1e, Fujitsu excelsior FDX100-UK filters.BT came to check the line and found no problem with it. However, I could sometimes hear the modem dialling out on the phone line. I really do not know what else to do. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Okay, thanks for the tips about the differences between digital DSLR sand SLRs. It seems the SLRs are better for what I want. But here's the thing, I like my LCD screen sometimes when I'm taking pictures (instead of just viewing pictures that have already been taken) and I think I've gotten use to having manuel zoom. With this said, let me say that I am by no means looking to be a professional photographer. I'm just a regular person who loves to take pictures and I want to take pictures that are worth keeping. And most importatly, I want to take still shots from action scenes. Basically my question is... are there digitals DSLRs that can take upper quality action shots?? M price range is somewhere under $1,000ish. Don't be shy if it goes over, I'm flexible. Size isn't an issue either. Thanks.

Currently, I have a Kodak Z710. I would like to upgrade to a nice camera with removable lens. I don't get paid to take pictures, but I do enter a lot of contests at fairs and such. I would actually like to take up photography as a career, so I would use it a lot, also be putting the pictures on a lap top to photoshop. What are some good cameras that are under $1,500? Also, what are some good sites that have tips for photography settings and such and photoshopping?

I am going into 9th grade and I know I am going to be involved in a lot of after school activities.
I am also trying out for the volleyball team.
In the past when I asked my parents they said "use somebody else's if you need to "
How can I convince them??

...I just want a TV (19" or smaller) for my last year at college and probably won't own it longer than that. I need something that I can get shipped to my school address because I won't be able to travel with it. Do regular stores even sell them anymore...because everything I've found are way too expensive flat screen LCD, HDTV or something of the sort.

I am looking to get a 72mm Hoya filter for my Canon 28-135 IS USM lens that I use on my Canon Rebel XT. Have you used one before, if so, what is your opinion on them? I am looking for an affordable filter, and don't want to spend over $100... this seems to be for me but want to get a users opinion of them first.

PS-- I have looked at both the standard and the Pro-1 and am leaning to the Pro-1

i have a JVC LCD 32" TV which is now about 4 years old and a couple of days ago when i turned it on i could only hear the sound but no picture.
when i go to menu and reset the tv the picture will come back on and everything will be fine, but when i switch the tv to standby or off at the wall,the next time i use the tv the same things happens again.
I have gone through this process 4 times so far with the same results.(warrenty has now expired)

I have contacted JVC and they agree it is only a small problem but my nearest JVC engineer is 50 miles away and wants £60 call out charge with a further £60 for estimate that,s taken off should i agree to the repair.

i,m asking if anyone knows what the problem is, and will it be viable for me to purchase the part required and fit it myself. I am more than capable of soldering on a chip or replacing the part.
(thanks to all that answer)
