I'm going to take my camera to get developed today, but I was just wondering how much more 1 hour development for doubles is compared to waiting a few days?

Under warranty my ex took her camera back to store where she purchased it. The manfunction was the flash. After almost 8 weeks store said her camera was in transit from Kodak.
I told her for any company to really make it right they should extend the warranty 8 more weeks. I know I'm not wrong to expect that. But would they? After all these companies say warranty is 1 year; not 1 year minus repair time.

I bought, and returned, a M&S 15" televsion. The istructions clearly stated that either the remote or the set top buttons could be used to tune the televsion. Thinking that would be a good fallback in case of loss or failure of the remote (or batteries), I was happy. When the dread time came, the set was stuck on a single Freeview channel and wouldn't change.
Marks & Spencer said that all their sets were like this although there was no warning anywhere in the literature or on the box.

I have since found similar configurations on some sets sold by Tesco.
It's apparently not a fault, it's a design "feature" and is commonplace for Freeview tuners in lots of cheaper televisons not to work with on-the-set-buttons.

Don't you think that this is the makers and retailers being misleading?

Even if you normally always use the remote there will be times when you can't for some reason or other.

im asking for a new digital camera for xmass cuz the 2 i had both were broken (screens cracked and pixilated cuz someone pressed their thumb against 1 and shatter the internal part of the screen and the second one got dropped on the floor) i want something thats small and preferable slim so i can put it in my purse or pocket but also with a tough screen so this doesnt happen again. im very careful now with who i let use my cameras!! money isnt really an option cuz my parents said pick 5 high end items so this will be one of the items.

I’d like to know more about Sidekick lx Call Quality and the what you meant by “We don’t normally use the Sidekick devices as phones. .”

I’ve never owned a Sidekick and I’m planning
on buying but the Sidekick lx. I use my phone
more than quite often to call my friends,
and it would be very very bad if I heard a
buzzing noise when talking on the phone.
Please emphasize for me
I really do not want to spend $300 for
a phone that might not even sasified me.

My old VHS player had a built in TVG. TVG keeps the characters from swearing by putting a substitute word in the closed captioning or just muting it, depending on what you set your Closed Captioning on.
Please, someone tell me of a DVD player that will have TVG. I want to watch DVDs and VHS but really don't want to give up TVG. I do have a TV with closed captioning.

Are there specific types or brands of DVD players that will work? Or is there something that is the equivalent of TVG that will block out swear words the way TVG does.

I don't watch things that are really bad but finding something perfectly clean is nearly impossible. Please don't be one of those people that judges me, just help me find what I need.

Thank you,

Uhura

When I say cheap I don't mean cheap quality, I would prefer walk-in stores rather than internet stores. Kodak is usually what I shoot, actually thats really all I shoot but I guess Im open to other suggestions. Thank You.

I am looking to get a digital camera (this will not be my first). I am still confused as to how many mp I should be looking for. All I do with my pctures is upload them on the computer and sometimes send them to the drug store and make 3x5 copies. I still want good pics but I just want to make sure I don't buy more than I need. Also, what should be the minimum? Thanks!
