Consumer Electronics - 13 November 2007

last summer, i had a very crappy camera (it would only let me take about 10 pictures and then i had to erase and start over)that i took to camp and my mom sent me a 64 MB card. when i put that card in, it would still only let me take about 5 pictures so i got a new camera. the other day, i found that card and completely forgetting that it didn't work, i put it in my camera to see what was on it. now, my 1 GB card will only let me take 9 pictures.

i'm going out of town next week and i would really love to have my camera to take pictures with... can anyone help me? is it possible for my camera to have a virus? and what can i do to get rid of it?

please and thank you

I am getting it for my wife, who is studying photography. I am getting two lenses, but I really am confused which are better. Is a Nikon 18-55 mm lense better than a 18-135 mm? And is a Tamron 70-300 mm lense better than a Nikon 70-300 mm lense? I was told that for the first lense, the 18-55 mm lense was faster than the 135 mm. For the later, I was told that the Tamron had auto capabilities, and the Nikon 70-300 only had manual adjustments. Does this sound right? Thanks for any advice.

Truth is the creator of FF7 stated he is very excited about the idea of a remake but Squaresoft has made no official announcement of a remake. They have indeed shown the remake of the opening but even then squaresoft officially stated that no remake was in progress. However I feel it is only a matter of time. If they can make a Final Fantasy X-2 which was simply an apolling display of reusing graphics then surely they can take the greatest selling game and remake it. They have to know it would make a profit. Heck, a FF7 remake would actually make people have a reason to buy a PS3. If sony isn't careful the PS3 will be they're end just like Sega...

my husband is a bit of a gamer and has always enjoyed racing and stealth games. hes also a fan of rpg games like grand theft auto. hes got a ps2 now, hes on his second. its starting to bite the dust however. we've also got a nintendo wii, but i was looking to upgrade the ps2. naturally, that would point me towards a ps3 but at a 499.99 price tag for the one thats backwards compatible, i was debating the xbox 360 at the middle level, the 399.99 package (all canadian currencies).ive heard him complain about how he doesnt like xbox controllers, but he will use one at a buddies house. ive also heard him comment how he likes the larger selection of games on the xbox 360. i dont know which one to buy him! what do you think a young guy would prefer? and what is most cost efficient (we have a young baby so i dont want to go TOO crazy). thanks!

I bought a camera form fingerhut in the states. I got it a few days later, getting the two year extended waranty, a memory chip for it, a tripod, bateries. I inserted the memory card and I recieved 2000 some photos I can take. I take a few and turn it off. Then turn it on and it says I can only take 18 photos and the pics that i took erlyer are no longer there. The cam being on I take out the memory chip and it says I can take one photo. I reinsert the chi[p and back to 18 photos with none in memory. Well i try turning it off then on, off then on, and after a while I get the photos I took and the 2000 some pictures I can take like it was before. But what is happening?!?!?!? Why?

Most gaming sites online have given AC huge praises. 5 stars, 9/10, etc. One site in particular, though, IGN, gave it a somewhat less than enthusiatic review. They said it actually gets boring with little, tedious missions that really slow things down. Another big gripe was that only five minutes into the game, a huge spoiler is revealed which makes everything else very anti-climatic. I am going to purchase the game and see for myself, but I was curious to see if anyone here has an early review of the game and would like to comment on some of these opinions by IGN. The called it the first next-gen major disapointment.

What is the advantage to a receiver that has HDMI pass through and that doesn't upconvert the other video that is inputted? Most have 2 hdmi inputs. I understand if your TV has one hdmi input, then its useful. But if the TV has 2 inputs, and you put everything through the receiver, you will need 3 hdmi cables. Obviously if the receiver can decode the audio via the hdmi, great, but most don't do that yet. I know if you have 2 hdmi sources, you are getting rid of one less input on the tv, and won't have to change the tv and receiver, but is that the only advantage? Anything that I am missing? Please enlighten me.

Ive noticed that there is a docking bay to slide a new HD into the PS3 - can this be done?

I seriously thought 60gb would be fine but around 5gb of that was taken up by firmware leaving around 50-55gb actually usabel, and after 4 game saves, 4 demos and my favourite albums (pherhaps around 40I think) I only have 30gb left!?

Also,is there a way to defrag the HD - like you can on a PC to help stopfile corruption from the head moving about on the HD?

Thanks, btw im having much fun on VF5 and Oblivion. I really hink that SOny should preload the GT demo, and the £1.99 games - not cos imtight but to make it a more attractive package. Im well happy with my PS3 -its so futuristic in that it IS a total entertainment centre in one.
