What is the real advantage that a CMOS Carl Zeiss lens used in Sony HD camcorders offers, over the plain Carl Zeiss lens used in the lower, cheaper models? Assuming that I am referring to all 6 Megapixel camcorders that have the same optical zoom as well.

I would like to know, from those who have some knowledge about camera lenses, if the advantages offered are worth the extra price we have to pay for?

I bought a cell phone for my teen and before we got home she had gotten a text from an internet dating service. Then a few days later a text from someone none of us know. I would love to be able to have her phone enabled so that she could neither send or receive texts.

I have a mini dv camcorder and we have taped video on the cassettes. Is there a way that we can take what is stored on the cassettes and put in on disc format? Is there any other way to view the mini cassettes without viewing them through the camera? We know how to connect camcorder to TV to watch what was recorded but how could we view if the camcorder did not work? Thanks!

My parents have a TV with a built in DVR. I may be interested in getting one myself. I was told by a sales associate at Best Buy that this is bad, that if the DVR breaks, the TV will also be shot. Does anyone out there have an opinion on this matter?

You know how people buy sidekicks and buy a t-mobile pre paid card, the ones that you can use for like 30 days and you can use like aim and internet for 30 days till it expires. Can i buy instead of a Sidekick, like an unlocked treo and put that prepaid t-mobile sim card in and use it for 30 days so i can go like online and chat on aim? Or does it only have to be a sidekick?

It is okay when the colors are bright, but during dark scenes like in mystery or thrillers, I can't make out the picture because it is so dim. I have the settings at the brightest they can be. It is a JVC 27" that was brand new about 4 1/2 years ago. Is it worth it to fix it or should I just buy a new one? I am looking to only spend about $150-$200.

I understand that this is a safety precaution so that everyone knows the call is recorded but i just don't care about that for me there are more clever ways to achieve that than a stupid beep every 15 seconds or so!!!

I had about 200 songs and a couple days later they were gone? Thinking a key issue. But not sure? All the songs are still on my computer with no problems.
