Consumer Electronics - 9 September 2007

I want a really good camera, or one that takes fairly good pictures. Im looking into the Nikon D50 but im a little skeptical here, http://www.shopping.com/xPC-Nikon_D50_Digital_SLR_with_28_90mm_F_3_3_5_6_Lens , now the price is extremely cheap so im not sure if its a rip off. Anyone know? Or a good camera that isn't so expensive?

£135.50 to watch shite? I think this is scandalous. I don't see why we should have to pay this amount, or any amount come to think of it just to watch repeats of utter garbage. Anyone else feel like ripping their "TV receiving equipment" (as the letter states) out of the wall and hoying it straight out of the window in protest and utter disgust ??

First of all , anyone that can help , thank you very much. Ok , so I have a JVC DVD entertainment system connected to my living room TV. When the volume gets too loud they system shuts off. This forces me to take out the power supply plug , and put it in and out untill it turns back on. Anyone out there know what this is ???? I have owned the unit for about 2 years and nothing like this has ever happened? Again , any help is greatly appriciated =)

Well, I sang "get it shawty" using a cell phone, and I was wondering if I sound better if I use a camcorder. I currently don't have a camcorder, and I hope that my dad will buy one this christmas or something. lol.

i always wondered if a 8" sub is better than a 12" sub at the same wattage rating, and the same for a 12" and 15" and 15" to a 18" and all the variations there of. Is there a difference, or optimal size for in home use than in car audio use. in your opinion what is the best? thanks-Mitch.

I just bought a zenith DVD player model dvb-712. I bought it on a clearence shelfe no remote. I do have a logitech harmony remote I programed for the DVD player. I went to set up no option on aspect other than 4:3 and 16:9. I have it in the 16:9 atm but still only getting 480p. There is a resolution button on my remote but it does nothing but give me the circle with a bar in it. I,m just curious if I got bad remote info in my remote or if I'm just not holding my tongue correct.

im 13 and i am always using my friends cell phone to call my mom. i was wondering if a 13 year old girl should have a cell phone even if her sister doesnt. my sister would probably rarely use one but i use one almost all the time, how would i be able to convince my parents to get one for me if u think i should get one? and also i play soccer and volleyball and i do a lot of after school programs. and if i have nothing after school i go to my friends house so id have to phone my mom. how should i convince my parents to get one for me? or should i just leave it to the way it is? and what would be the best cell phone to get and cell phone plan?

Hi, I've just set up my freeview box in my new place and it won't even pick up most channels and the signal is so weak the ones it does pick up are unwatchable. What can I do to improve the this? I used the same aerial and digibox in my last house a few streets away and the reception was generally good. I've got an indoor aerial which came with a signal booster but the aerial itself isn't that big, so do I need to buy a better aerial or a better digibox? (I can't replace/connect to any aerial on the roof because it's a rented block of flats)

The last couple times I came to Europe I swapped my SIM card into a Motorola GSM phone and it worked fine. This time, I can get a strong signal from 4 different carrier networks including T-Mobile and Vodafone but I can not make any calls. I get an error saying "Call failed: not available" everytime I dial a number. I trieds to reach Sprint/Nextel but their web site says to call a US number but since my phone won't call out??? Any suggestions?

Seems anything taken at 1/1000 sec shutter priority is too dark; at full telephoto of 29mm Digital focal length). Fuji E900.
Shots that are OK are 1/500 sec, f/4, 12mm focal, ISO 80, also good 1/250, f/5.6 29MM
ISO 80.
But shots at 1/1000, f/5.6 29mm, ISO 80 too dark. I either have to lower shutter speed or not use focal length at 29mm to get proper exposure. No warning in viewfinder showing shot will be dark.
So is it me or should camera be serviced? These shots taken in bright sunlight.
