Consumer Electronics - 12 December 2007

I'm going to buy one or the other. Both have pros and cons in equal measures, and as a result I simply can't decide between them.

S5600 Pros...
9 megapixels and Fujis super CCD technology.
10x optical zoom which also handles macro extremely well.
Fixed lens which prevents dust from getting to the sensor.
Live preview in the LCD which also tilts to allow photos from awkward angles.
Will do videos.
Low cost at around £200 (that's over £100 cheaper than the pentax), which means it's the closest thing you can buy to a DSLR for that price.

S9600 Cons...
Electronic viewfinder.
Non interchangeable lenses (I know I quoted this as a pro, but I also see it as a con for different reasons).
It's not a DSLR.

K100D Pros...
Larger sensor.
Optical viewfinder.
Interchangeable lenses.
Faster shooting in burst modes.
It's a DSLR.

K100D Cons...
Kit lens only has a 3x zoom.
Interchangeable lenses means dust on sensors.
Lower megapixel count.
Much higher price tag.

Should I get the 80GB or the 40GB. I plan on downloading alot of stuff, putting music on the system, and maybe for photos. I don't have any PS2 or PS1 games. Also, when is PS4 coming out?

I'm keen to buy one of these but really don't know which is better.
Not taking the price into consideration, which is the better system?

I have a Kodak EasyShare CD33 digital camera that is not working properly. It is not yet 2 years old. I don't know what the life expectancy is for these cameras. Anyway, the problems I am having are: #1 I cannot transfer pictures to my computer any longer and #2 When the camera is turned on the viewfinder shows nothing so I can't take pictures and I can't review what's there already. I have checked out help sites, etc. and the only solution I found was to upgrade the program. It said it would help but it didn't. Is there anything else I can do or does the camera need servicing and...would it be worth it to have it serviced?

Here is my set up. I have a yamaha 6.1 system that does not support hdmi, so I haved an optical cable going from the ps3 to the yamaha system for sound.
As far as teh ps3 goes, I have a standard 19 pin hdmi, male to male cable. My question here is, do the HDMI cables that have the compenent cable end (blue red green) give better picture quality? Or am I good with my hdmi cable?
PS. should I set the ps3 to FULL hdmi or limited?

I just bought a new HDTV with 1080p and I'm contemplating whether to buy a PS3 or just a regular Blu-Ray player. The PS3 has great features for the same price as a regular Blu-Ray player, but I'm not much of a gamer, so I'm wondering if the PS3 upconverts DVD movies to at least 1080i.

I bought a new HDTV and want to watch DVD's. I don't want to buy a DVD player that you put one DVD in, then take it out and put in another one. I have a stereo that holds 50 CD's and you can just pick a number and play it. Is there such a thing as a DVD player that holds several DVD's and you can just pick which one you want to play? Thank you in advance.

I have the 60gb model. The only game i have so far is heavenly sword. Here's the problem. I press the ps button on the controller to turn on the system when it's in standby mode, then i insert heavenly sword into the disc drive and it loads, but right after it says playstation 3 on the screen it kind of freezes. The screen goes blank. I think the ps3 still tries to load it beacause it makes that sound but it won't load. I then press the ps button and choose " quit game". This does nothing. The screen freezes again and the only way to stop the game is to eject it. Then the second time i insert the disc it works. Does th system have a problem or does this just happen?

Ok, for christmas this year im undecided on which console to get. So if you own one give me a suggestion based on the following, thanks. I greatly enjoy playing online thats what i like the most, and alot of my friends play 360 live . I do not really want to spend alot as this is a more secondary system to my wii; to feed my hardcore gamer. so i would get the lowest version of the console because its all thats really needed. I do enjoy good graphics and blu-ray but i dont even have a HD tv. I do like how the PS3 is really reliable, but i take very good care of my systems either way. I like how the PS3 is very strong and will stay around awhile as well as new games reaching their full potential, rather than 360 having like 2 more years before something new, so I get my moneys worth. I also love the epic feeling PS3 brings. I hate the fact 360 makes you buy the wireless USB for internet. (i cant use eth-net cable) What do you guys think?
