I highly doubt it... but I dropped my digital camera about 3 feet off a table... the lens was open. It wouldn't shut... just made the "closing noise". I tried to force it close but it's just messed up.. Very frustrating..

ANY advice on how to fix it? Thanks in advance if so..

Bulb is a setting where it keeps the shutter open for however long you want it. I need it for a project and I'm very interested in photography. Where could I get one, and how much is the approximate cost?

I have a Sony CyberShot DSC-W5 digital camera that I purchased a year or so ago on Ebay. Browsing around on-line, it seems to be an expensive, well-rated camera. However, I can't seem to warm up to it. (I seriously miss my Pentax Optio!) I am always ending up with VERY blurry photos. It's not me, as I usually take great photos. After my baby shower this weekend, I was extremely dissapointed to find out that almost every single one of the photos taken with the camera (shot by someone other than myself) was blurry. Wondering what might be causing this. Do I have the settings wrong? Can battery life affect camera performance (camera seems to suck the life out of batteries VERY quickly)? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. If you can provide a website for reference, that would be great. Thanks!

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I got thinking about it today after a very close call with a table saw today while doing some home improvement on my Mom's house.

I almost cut of a few fingers when I bound some wood while cutting a weird angle and It made me think If I would have cut off my fingers how would I be able to persue my hobby of taking photos.

I have a 1996 Kodak DC210 Plus and I dont get that good quality. How will I get the best quality with this old 1 megapixel camera?

2007-11-07 13:32:53 · 4 answers · asked by The Man 2

I know sometimes better quality means "bigger" and "bulkier". Which is my problem with the G9. It is a bit large and as heavy as a brick! I just wanted to know, is the Canon G7 this big and heavy? Thank you!

I have a digital camera that i bought 3 years ago.
Everytime i upload the pictures i have to hold the usb cord tightly to the usb outlet on the camera to make it work.
Somtimes i have to giggle it and hold it in different positions.
I just did all that today and it wasnt working, and i got really frustrated, so i poked the inside of the usb with a needle and now the usb cord doesnt fit at all in the usb outlet.
It gets even worse, now my camera is functionless, all you can do is turn it on, but you cant view or take pictures, i can't even zoom.
WHAT DO I DO?
THIS IS MY SISTERS CAMERAAA TOO.
do i take it to bestbuy or future shop or do i have to buy her a new one? :(
PLEASE HELP!
