I am looking for a good digital camera I have been looking in to canon. I want it to task pics of wildlife me with fish and what not. me with deer too. so I'll need a good zoom if i can't speed down the lake fast enough to snap a pic of a bald eagle or the sunset. I like Canons power shot A560. What do you think?

I have a 5th generation video ipod, 80GB. I wanted to sync an album to my ipod through my sister's labtop, but for some reason the CD could not be read. So I used the computer to transfer the songs to my ipod that way. I did everything the way I always do. I waited until the updates were complete and then clicked the eject button. Now comes the bad part. I plugged my ipod back into the laptop and I noticed it took awhile to connect. So I restarted my ipod like I always do anytime it freezes on me. But nothing happened so I gave up and decided to listen to my music on my ipod. I look through the artists and I get a blank screen! I start freaking out so I restart it again thinking that it was a mistake but I still get the blank screen. All my music and videos are gone, but the pictures I had on my ipod are still there. Does anyone know what happened to my ipod?

And what is the difference between hardware and software ps2 backward compatibility? Do ps2 games still work with the 80GB ps3?

Are only bluray movies encoded and restricted by PAL or NTSC or are games affected too?

I'm getting a PS3 soon, and in my room I have just a 21" CRT TV. I''ve looked in to getting an LCD mainly for the PS3 but also for general TV and watching DVD's too. However, as my room isnt exactly spacious, 32" is the maximum i can fit. This means I wont be able to get the full HD (1080p). Is getting a 720p still worth it? And will the picture quality be much better than a standard CRT television on the PS3?

I was recently told by my cable provider that my current analog cable running through the house would need to be updated for digital cable for maximum picture quality. I really don't want to spend hundreds of $$$ to rewire my home with digital. Is there another option? Wireless cable transmitters perhaps (kind of like wifi except with TV Cable)? Is that even invented yet? Thanks!

So I've just received a Samsung HD850 player. I hooked it up to my HD TV via a HDMI connection, and made sure it was set to 1080i on the setup. Ran a standard DVD, and I found the same problem; despite being HDMI it produced an image probably worse than my XBOX 360 connected with a HD component. Huge macro blocks around moving people, quite severe blurred images, I'm talking semi image break-up in some parts!! It does it for some DVD's but not for others.
Any idea as to what is going wrong? I refuse to believe that any DVD should not give a clear picture on a supposedly HD upscaling DVD player.

I have a TV antenna from radio shack. The only channel it gets is channel 7. I don't need every channel in the universe, but a fer more would be nice. I've moved around the antennae, but nothing but channel 7. I do have 4 and 2 but they are not good enough quality- they only come out grainy with loud unwanted noise.

I'm looking for a way to play ps2 games in my 40Gb ps3. I know it doesn't come with the necessary chip to do direct emulation but maybe it could do some software emu like the one in the 80Gb version. Maybe I can get someone with an 80gb ps3 transfer me the emulator into my Hard drive & play my ps2 games. If this is the solution how do i do it? Or is there another solution?? help plz!

I have a normal DVD player. It does not play Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, but it does have component output (RGB) for HDTVs. If I connected it to my HDTV with component cables, would there be a noticeable picture quality increase? Would widescreen movies fill up the entire screen?

Considering Nuvi 360 or Nuvi 660. The latter has an FM transmitter as well as bigger screen size. Anyone have experience with either of these? What will the FM transmitter give me in the 660? Is it worth the extra $100+?

""If you use a program to create an audio CD from mp3s, you will lose the benefits of the compressed mp3 data format, and will only be able to fit a normal number of tracks on a CD. Normal CDs can only fit a certain number of minutes of audio on a single disc, as they store audio in uncompressed format.

To store a large number of mp3 tracks ona CD, you need to burn the CD as an "mp3 CD" or a "Data CD" (depending on the program you are using). This keeps the mp3 files in their compressed data-file format, rather than expanding them into audio files. I can normally get 150-170 mp3 files on a single CD-R, depending on the quality of the mp3 files (higher quality mp3 files take up more space, and therefore fewer canbe fit on a CD)." this was written as a response to a question "shouldnt i be able to fit more then 18 songs

What programs can i save a cd like this with, that is free preferably.
