I Have a Canon PowerShot SX10 and i want to put a Canon - 55-250mm f/4-5.6 Telephoto Zoom Lens
on it but First of all I don't know if i Need a adapter or if i don't need one. If i do need one Will you please tell me what i need.
I think that camera does not allow for interchangeable lenses. Below I listed a site that has discussion forums (photo.net) and you can ask in the appropriate Canon forum and find out.
Hope this helps.

You need a dSLR. The one you have is a point and shoot, you can't change lenses on those.
Answer by Pam on 01 Jan 2010 01:47:10The SX10 IS is a point & shoot camera with a FIXED 20x optical zoom lens, so of course you can't add on a lens.
You already have 560mm...how much more do you need?
I just got a new camera, Canon EOS D60 and i don't have the software to view the pictures on my MAC OS X 10.5.8
Can some one provide a link to a download pleaseee!!!
You'll want a Canon EOS Viewer Utility. Check the link below for Mac.
Or contact Canon 1-800-OKCANON.
Don't bother with cables or special software!
The easiest and best method to download photos and video from your camera to your computer is via a little USB card reader (which are quite cheap these days).
Card readers also work for moving photos from the computer onto a card.
Plug the reader into a USB port and insert the memory card.
It will show up as a drive, and you can simply drag and drop the photos across to the folder of your choice.

I put brand new batteries in my camera and the light flashes but it won't turn on. When the light flashes it clicks and will make crackeling noises every once in a while. I got the lens to come out and the screen to turn on for a little bit, but the screen showed a dead battery symbol then turned off and the lens is still out. I got this camera about two years ago.
If the ONLY option is repair, where do i send it, how much will it cost, and how long will it take???
I would try these things first:
Do a camera re-set
Do a camera firmware update
Buy a new camera
The cost of repair will most likely be almost as much or more than the camera is worth.
I included the Samsung link below to get you started. Hopefully you can get it up and running.
It flashes a red light saying low battery, but then won't charge when I plug it in to my computer or wall. I talked to customer service, but they weren't much help. Any dieas what to do.
You could have a defective battery (even if it's new).
I found some instructions at the link below on charging your camera. Maybe that will fix it.
i am willing to spend up to 300$.

I have an ipod touch and I have a Fujifilm FinePix camera. Does anyone know of any case that will fit both my ipod and camera without either of them getting scratched? Thanks.
Maybe it is time to get one of the many small camera bags that have a few compartments in them. Then you'll have room for the camera, the ipod, spare batteries, memory cards and perhaps even your wallet :-)
Answer by selina_555 on 02 Jan 2010 02:14:35Why not get a camera bag that's large enough to put the camera inside along with accessories such as batteries, cell phone, memory cards, car keys even an I-pod. What a great idea, why didn't I think about that.

is there a camera that is better?
does it takes good pictures in the dark (of fireworks etc)
I would recommend you to go with Fujifilm Finepix F200EXR Digital Camera good at low light conditions
Revolutionary new 12 Megapixel switchable sensor
5x 28mm wide angle lens and large 3 inch LCD screen
Film simulation modes (Velvia, PROVIA, astia, black and white, sepia)
Ultra high sensitivity in low light: to ISO 12800 (at reduced resolution)
Dual image stabilisation and super intelligent flash
I want a camera that can record up to ten minutes of video..but can also take pictures.
It also has to be 0-150 dollars..
can anyone help me plzz
Sony Camera are great.
Sony cybershot to be exact!
I got one for $89 at shoppers drug mart, and i've had it for 2 years with out a problem!
Good Luck!
You might go to cannonusa.com but can't say as that you'll find a camera your describing for under maybe a thousand bucks. I could be wrong.
Many cell phones have this ability but you know that they are not in that price range.
I don't really know how much 150 dollars is, as we work in pounds over here :).
But I would really recommend you get the SAMSUNG ST50.
Its 12.2 MP and it only cost me £120. It's absolutely amazing,
you can consider this one Canon PowerShot SD1200IS 10 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD but the video quality wont be that good
[URL Truncated]
you can go for this Canon PowerShot SD780IS12.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD it records in HD movie recording - $199

I would suggest Nikon Coolpix L20 10MP Digital Camera with 3.6 Optical Zoom and 3 inch LCD
Answer by Sam on 03 Jan 2010 03:21:30I have a Sony Cybershot that works AMAZING! It was a great price of $90-$140. I'm very picky to what I get and I tell you the money I bought it for was worth it. It has video sound. Different settings of light and shooting. Many options and easy to handle with no confusions. Here's a link of the camera I bought.

Nikon D3000 and Canon Rebel XSi, I know the price of both cameras, which one is better?
Canon Rebel XSi
12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor , Canon's EF-S 18-55mm, f3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens, also Canon's EOS Integrated Cleaning System, Live View Function, a powerful DIGIC III Image Processor
Nikon D3000 is a better camera
Answer by Star on 05 Jan 2010 12:10:34I really want to buy a DSLR camera, owing to my fascination with HDR photography from stuckincustoms. As the market for DSLR cameras is an expensive minefield, can anyone suggest an ideal camera, ideal for HDR photography without breaking the bank. For starters, I am aware a Nikon D60 would be a good investment, but do not feel committed to spending a small fortune, without having used one before.
Thanks in advance :)
You're aware that HDR photos are done in software.
I own and recommend the Rebel XS at 10.1mp. Superb photos and build. I find it very easy to learn and use but you've got to read the book.
Here's some of the shots I've taken - no HDR's I don't want to buy that software.
[URL Truncated]
The best way to know all those intimate details of the D60, follow this link and do some research.
[URL Truncated]
If you think the cost of a Nikon D60 is a small fortune, I wonder what you think the investment is for a pro who has a couple of D3's and an full compliment of lenses from ultra wide to extreme telephoto?
Just take your time and decide what you want and then buy it.
If you can still find a Nikon D40, it too can shoot the necessary image files to produce HDRI images and "auto-bracketing" really is NOT important.
1) your camera will be on a tripod
2) you will be using the shutter speed to make the changes in exposure (aperture changes will cause depth of field shifts)
3) learning to use your camera in a methodical way will assure better results than attempting to get as many shots in the shortest time will ever produce.
Just think of shooting HDRI images as a fully manual process. It is much more like using a 4x5 view camera than shooting sports or action photography where follow focus and timing are super important.
HDRI is a methodical process.
* choose the subject.
* set up the camera no a tripod
* compose the image.
* chose the best normal exposure.
* using the shutter speed, take one overexposed image and one under exposed image.
* use the three images when combining them to make an HDRI image.
While HDRI images are sort of fun, they have already become cliché in the world of photo art much like the selective colour within a black and white shot has.
Choosing which camera system to marry based upon producing HDRI images may not be the best way to choose.
Look further into the possibilities of your photo goals and pick the best camera system, not body ... after all, you will be replacing the body in a few years, but the lenses you have will last for decades.
Kodaks are the best
Answer by Dj C on 03 Jan 2010 07:48:48Here is an option to look into: Pentax K-x
Here is an excerpt from the Pentax website page on the K-x page:
"HDR Image Capture
True HDR image capture blends 3 bracketed images into a single picture with outstanding shadow, highlight, and midrange detail."
Below are a few links that have more information.
Just another option to consider.

i want to by a Digital camara with my christmas money. is there any good quality but low priced camras tht anyone would recomend ? and if its cuute tht helps too.
thankks :)
this is like a normal camara for a 13 year old not a high tec one. & i want it to be like $50 bucks maybe ?
There's the Panasonic's Lumix DMC-TZ7 which is overall a really good camera, it costs around $260.
But if that's a bit too much the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS ELPH is around $150 and still a good camera.
And if that's still too much then the Nikon Coolpix L20 is like $90 and is pretty good.
I hope I helped =)
I would suggestion these good quality Digital cameras for price under $200 :
1.Canon PowerShot SD780IS : 12.1-megapixel, 3x optical zoom lens with Optical Image Stabilizer, 2.5-inch widescreen PureColor LCD II screen, Record video in beautiful high definition, Face Detection Self-Timer, Intelligent Contrast Correction, Red-eye Correction, etc.

There you go^^
I am just looking for a new camera too and I have found great ones. The best one is the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS. It usually costs $249.00 but I found it at besbtuy.com for $199.00
If you are not sure which one takes better pictures, I would go to Flickr.com and search a camera model. You will get pictures of the camera but also pictures that were taken with that camera you searched. To be sure, in the details of the photo find the camera model that was used to take the picture. I would also see the original size to see the actual quality of the photo. Trust me, it's the best way I found to be able to know if a camera takes good pictures. I would later see the add-ons and effects you can do with the camera models.
Kodaks are the best
Answer by Dj C on 03 Jan 2010 07:48:20No, but it does shoot videos.
Answer by Carl_the_Truth on 03 Jan 2010 11:10:07The quick answer to this VERY common question is "No".
The more detailed answer is this: sometimes it is possible, but it isn't a good solution. You would need to have the right camera, cable, software and drivers.
Then you need to set it all up to work, which can be a big pain.
Even if you DO get it working, you are now causing wear and tear on what might be a fairly/very expensive camera.
Webcams start at about $20.oo. They do the job well, they are usually easy to set up, and they can STAY set up - you won't want to quickly grab your webcam on the way out the door, only so you have to start setting up all over again next time you want to use it.
Check out the websites of Logitech, Creative, and Microsoft.
All make good webcams.
Check the features carefully if you want to have those fancy video effects, because not every cam supports them.
Figure out which models you like, then google for the best price.
If you are still determined to use your still camera, then read your manual - if it is possible, it would be a good selling point, so the manual will tell you how to do it.
If you did a quick search here on YA, you would find MANY instant answers to this. [URL Truncated]
My friend dropped my camera. Now the lens pops out with this click noise and goes right back in and says lens error..I want to fix it at home and not pay for it. Any way I can do that
Do you really think it is worth the (extremely high) risk of you actually making it worse?
Answer by selina_555 on 03 Jan 2010 11:58:50I would love to know why you repeated this very strange question THREE times, in the camera section, no less?
Just in case others also have a hard time figuring out that question - let me repeat it for you:
Is there a certain amount of friends to have on my space?
Which, I think, actually means:
Is there a limit to the amount of friends you can have on myspace?
Thank you my dahling Selina for clearing this up.
Now that we understand what it is, what does this have to do with cameras?
See the importance of correct spelling? Even the Yahoo! Answers logic programming couldn't figure this out.

I would get the Sony out of those two. If you want an even better camera, you should get a canon because they are good quality and have great features. I have the Canon A 390 XS.
Answer by Peter H on 03 Jan 2010 02:20:12im having trouble transfering photos from my Digital Camera as i dont have a port for the memory card but i also cant find the usb for my camera, where could i get hold of one that works with my camera. (i have a few but none that fit)
Unless your manual states otherwise, camera USB cords are pretty generic and can be found at BestBuy or anyplace that sells camera stuff. You can also get an external usb card reader, very handy to have. (around 10 dollars).
Answer by snowwillow20 on 03 Jan 2010 02:32:41You should be able to buy one either online or a a Best Buy, Radio Shack, or any decent electronics store.
You are probably looking for what's called a Mini-A, but take your camera to be sure!
Well you find the USB cables online. They are common normally and I use the following site for my electronics:

500D looks cooler but Sam says I should buy 1000D... should i listen to that little twerp? :)
yea 1000D is defiantly better and you can tell just by appearance and it has a nice lense also
Answer by madmax18765 on 02 Jan 2010 06:11:34Well, these are two cameras that are similar in the fact that they're both mid-level DSLRs. The 500D is slightly above the Rebel XSi line, and the 1000D is slightly below. It depends on what you want to do.
The 1000D is slightly gimped, with only ISO 1600 (meaning that you won't be able to take pictures in darker places without heavy blurring and/or noise). However, my experience with the 500D isn't that different, even with ISO 3200; it takes somewhat blurry photos and cannot autofocus well in darker environments.
The 500D has a video feature which is a nice add-on, and has a really intuitive interface. I haven't used the 1000D, but it has only a slightly smaller LCD (2.5" compared to 500D's 3.0"). The 500D has a very nicely updated screen, which is nearly scratch resistant in my opinion (car keys, coins, sand, etc), but attracts grease (it can be wiped off easily though). The 500D screen is fairly bright, even in direct sunlight (important for looking at photos).
I would have to say, the 500D is better in almost every aspect. However, the 1000D is almost $100 less than the 500D, so it would depend on what you want.
Below I listed a link to a web page with a side by side listing of the 2 cameras you are researching. This web page will allow you to compare features and specs and has links to reviews of both cameras. These reviews include sample images.
Just a few quick thoughts, make a list of what you are willing to spend, features you must have, and features you would like to have. Do you want video? Check out which camera has better high ISO performance which can be very valuable when shooting in low light.
Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and get the best price. Some of these dealers are including some nice extras, free shipping is very common, and sometimes they are offering a free memory card and/or camera bag. Sometimes you have to click in the "add to cart" button to see the actual price.
Hope this helps.

My computer is completely custom. When I plug in my camera, nothing happens. Zilch.
I've had this same problem with my iPod also (via USB) but it reads my iPod now no problem.
I have all the correct software installed, too. And I tried all of my USB ports, not just this one. Why the heck won't it recognize my camera?
I use this portable USB port thing where it will light up blue if the thing is recognized, but it's not doing that for my camera.
and believe me, its NOT my USB cable I'm using, and it's NOT my camera. The camera is turned on and everything when I'm doing this, but my computer won't even say "unknown device" or ANYTHING at all
You have the latest version of Easyshare software right?
I'ts best to plug the camera directly into a USB port on your computer to debug things.
You can try Start > control panel > Performance and Maintenance > system > Hardware tab > Device Manager > click on your computer icon, then right click and "scan for hardware changes"
It may show up as another disk drive or as a yellow question mark. If the latter, then right click and select "uninstall", then scan for hardware changes again.
Best bet is to simply buy a USB 2.0 SDHC Memory card reader/writer. You will never have to worry about drivers/connections again. They are $10 at places like Walmart/Target/Best Buy or $5 shipped or less from overseas internet dealers.
I want to take pictures of people drawing words in sparklers and car lights and stuff on the road.
All I want to know is EXACTLY how to set the shuttle speed. Step by step. If it involves the knob for different effects or whatever... explain that too please.
Also.... MASP
What do each of them mean and what should I do about them?
To write graffiti with sparklers, pen lights and LEDs' you need to 1) place the camera on a tripod, 2) set the cameras shutter speed on bulb (page 43) and 3) hold the shutter open until your friends have finished writing.
You can adjust the exposure by using the lenses aperture.
Did you get a users manual with your camera?
M = manual
A = aperture
S = shutter
P = program.
They are the metering modes available on your camera and on pages 39-45. They will explain how to use them to get the proper exposure
If so, how?
I'd like to do light writing.
I can't go past 2 seconds, but online it says I can go to 15!
Yes you can. Just look up...'Long Shutter' in the Index of your User Guide and it will direct you to the appropriate page. You'll be able to set your exposure from 1 to 15 seconds.
Edit...Have you even read your User Guide? Forget about what online says and get out your manual. You can definitely select an exposure of up to 15 seconds...Your manual gives you directions on page 99!
