Consumer Electronics - 30 September 2007

I don't know much about lens/zoom/etc...
I have a Canon Powershot A520, 4.0 megapixel, zoom lens 5.8-23.2mm 1:2.6-5.5.
I took a picture in movement/sports mode and the subject is still too far away. I want it to be closer. I zoomed my lens all the way as close as it would go. I see they sell a teleconverter lens 1.75x for my camera.
I want to be sure it's worth it to buy this lens or should I just get a newer better digital camera?
Will adding the lens onto it make the pictures any worse? I don't want to waste money on a lens to get a closer pic if some of it will be blurry or if it isn't going to make it alot closer. I would like to see some comparison pictures, one taken with camera like mine zoomed fully and then one with lens added on. Does anyone have one that can post some pics for me to reference? The converter lens is 149 or 199, I feel like I can add a few dollars and get a new camera that will zoom farther.
Please help me you camera experts!! Thanks!

Hey guys, I have comcast cable and I am trying to hook my Ps3 up, I have a ethernet cable running from the PS3 to the back of my modem but it is saying that it can't find a IP address, already talked to Sony, and they referred me to the comcast internet provider and of course they did not know what I was talking about. its not a wireless connection but its a wired connection. Please help!!!!!!

i just got a sony cybershot and i charged it for like 20 minutes and it won't turn on at all! I'd think that 20 mins would at least give it enough charge to turn on. is there a problem?

I'm not asking which is better. I'm asking which should I get. I want to know when both would get discontinued and when microsoft will release the new xbox 360's that don't break down as much. I had bought a gamecube about 2 months before they stopped making them, and I do not want to make that same mistake again. also, when will the psp get discontinued?

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THE WII OR DS, SO DON'T MENTION THEM.

I'm just upgrading to a newer model (Nokia pay-as-you-go) and don't want to retype everything. Is it all in the Sim card or do I need to buy cables or what? I'm no techno-chick. Thank you.

My birthday is coming up (im about to turn 14) and my mom said i can get a new game system. I already have 2 game systems. A PS2 and a PSP. i used to have a Gamecube but i gave it away because of the babyish games. Im not yet allowed to play M rated games, but will next year in high school.For some reason i have excluced the Nintendo Wii from my wish list because of the inferior graphics and sound, and the games. so now im down with the big 2, the Xbox 360 and the PS3. i like shooting games like Grand Theft Auto and Mercenaries . as a real shocker i havent ever played Halo. i want the ps3 because i can continue to play my ps2 games and connect with the psp. I can play Heavanly Sword and also have the new HOME system. i can play Time Crisis 4, but i feel guilty buying a game system that is $500 and that im not sure of the games that are going to come out.i want the 360, but there are 4 different kinds. Core,Pro,Elite and Halo 3. i can play bioshock & halo 3 & Gears of War. i need help!

I have an Xbox 360, but I have only had it for one year and it has had the ring of death TWICE! can you believe that. as I am waiting for Microsoft to return it to me. I have decided to get rid of it as obviously it is not a good investment. I had my PS2 for 4 years without ANY problems. Now I don't know too much on PS3 or Wii but would like to know which one would make sense? Are there any hardware issue on either systems. Any future games (I'm into sport and FPS). Please let me know as I need to make up my mind soon.
