I have a canon ixus and tried to use the "zoom browser" to change the names of the files because it defaults to date which is rubbish - but I can't get it to change anything. I am getting angrier and angrier. Please help a desperate woman.

I've always had SLRs (right now, I have a Cannon Rebel 2000). My main reason for taking photos is to see if I can capture the beauty of the subject with an interesting composition and I'm very excited when I feel like I've taken a good photo. I'm ready to move to digital and am trying to decide between an SLR and a point and shoot. I'll probably get an SLR because I'm used to the quality and control. I don't always use all the features, but I do like to switch to manual focus, turn off the flash, use a macro setting, etc. However, it would also be really nice to finally have a light camera small enough to fit into my purse for spontaneous social situations. I also like the idea of a powerful zoom. Have the non-SLR digital cameras gotten to the place where the picture quality is comparable to SLRs and the flexibility while shooting is similar? Ultimately, quality pictures is more important than convenience to me, but I don't want to discount non-SLRs if there are ones that I might like.

Why Is This?

I had an olympus (FE-100). One day while trying to juggle with an armload of misc. I regretably decided to go ahead and drop my camera, along with a few others, into the KFC bag I was bringing my b/f on break. As luck would have it, green bean juice spilled out from those quality carry-out containers and invaded my camera. I turned it on to see if it still worked after I had cleaned up the juice and it did, for a second, and then went dark. The lense is stuck out and I havn't been able to get it working since. It's not exactly a high end model camera so I think I would feel silly taking it to a specialized camera shop where the repair price would exceed the value.
Maybe it wouldn't?
Maybe there is an alternative to try?
Maybe this has happened to you...?

I wear two hearing aids. I can sort of hear without them, but would like to be able to carry on a conversation with a reasonable response. So far the best I've been able to come up with is speakerphone, but I'm hoping someone knows of a 'loud' volume adjustable.

I bought a Japan Nintendo Wii and decided to use it in Canada. However, Japanese appliances/electronics require 100v of power. The Wii came with an AC Adaptor where INPUT: AC 100V 94VA 50/60Hz and OUTPUT: DC 12V 3.7A. Therefore, will it be fine for me to simply connect my console+adaptor to a Canada electrical socket (providing 110V)?

My dorm room has no cable set up and I wanted to get a slingbox so I can watch tv on my laptop. I was wondering, though, if there was a way to send the signal to another tv so that it's a bigger screen and my roommate and I can watch it...Thanks.

My father just gave me a set of old 901's from the 80's. I have the speakers and the stand but not the equalizer that belongs with it (we have yet to find it). I am dying to get these speakers up and running. I wanted to know if the speakers can go without the EQ until I can buy or find one? I can deal with the sound being sub par for the time being. I just wanted to know if not using an EQ would either damage the speakers or if the sound would be so bad as to not want to listen to them. If they sound good (but not great) I will gladly set them up and save up to get the EQ.

Thanks!

In two weeks my Verizon contract expires in which my wife and I have a family shared plan. We want to switch to Cingular because I have purchased an iPhone. We want to keep our current telephone numbers. Also, my wife will not be getting an iPhone, just a regular phone.

Question - What is the process in doing this? Do we go into Cingular and establish a family plan and have them transport both of our telelphone numbers from Verizon? Can I even do that with mine or do I have to activate on iTunes? I'm worried that if my wife signs on first with a family plan that her number will port over, but mine will not. The reason we want to get her phone first is because we can get a free phone (Razr) for her if she signs a contract. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The reason I'm asking, is that I'm not sure if mine is working. Theres some static, but no real audio. I'm sure it's wired correctly. Will it only pass a certain frequency band at certain times, like other surround sound speakers or a sub? Is that why I'm not hearing anything when I check?
