Digital Camera - Read Reviews, Deals & Updates

Less than $100, and probably much less. There isn't a lot of money in old film bodies, with a few exceptions. Your Pentax is not one of the exceptions.

invest in a USB Card Reader (available at walmart, bestbuy, amazon etc...) for about $15
Plug the card reader into your USB Port on your computer.
Remove memory card from your camera, and insert into the Card reader.
Follow instructions from the card reader to open your memory card.
Find pictures and copy them directly to your computer's hard drive.

This will eliminate any problems that you might have with plugging the camera directly into your computer, and using the camera specific software.

It costs the same to replace an LCD screen no matter how big the chip is. If it does not effect your ability to use the camera, just wait until you are ready to buy a new camera in a couple of years

Test the lens.
1) Lens off camera, no lens caps. Look at the iris - it should be small.
2) Mount to camera. Look at iris. It should be very large.
3) Select Aperture priority and set a small aperture - f/16 or so.
4) Look into the lens and fire of a shot or two - does the iris become small, then go large again after the shot? If so, your lens is probably working fine. Lenses rarely break.

I'm willing to bet my house, car and even my camera collection that they will not warranty a camera living in a country other than the one in which it was bought (legal definition of country - not geographic). You could register with Canon in Malaysia and send it back to them for warranty repair.

It's certainly worth asking the question, but they don't want to be seen supporting grey importations as it damages their reputation with NZ dealers.

I used to live in the US, moved to the UK and brought a load of gear with me - and I've had to send items back to the US under warranty - and it's not as though I 'grey-imported' to save money - I actually lived there and registered at my US address; and they still wouldn't transfer warranties to the UK counterpart.

And I'm not just talking cameras - my mountain bike was bought in the US and Kona UK don't want to know - my Light and Motion light units had to be sent back to LA for repair (at my cost, of course) even though they have a UK presence.

You want to rotate video - rotating a recorded video is pretty easy, but you have to know where to look. You didn't say if you have a Microsoft Windows PC or a Mac. I'll assume a Windows PC:

If you have Windows XP, you can use the free Microsoft Windows Movie Maker to rotate your video. See this link for detail on rotating a video with WMM.

The newer version of Windows Movie Maker (the one that comes with Windows Vista) has the rotate tool also, but the interface is a little different. You'll have to do the following:

1) Import the movie

2) Add your movie to the "Storyboard" section (you can drag it there)

3) Right click the Sotryboarded movie, and choose "Effects".

4) Scroll down the list. You'll see choices for "Rotate 180", "Rotate 270" and "Rotate 90". Double-click one of these options and click "OK".

Your video will then be rotated. At that point, just export your video (choose "Publish movie" from the File menu). You should now have a second video, only this one is properly rotated.

sounds like a problem for an authorized Sony repair shop.
unfortunately, this error is common with this camera.
If your camera is under warranty, I would recommend submitting a claim to Sony's warranty dept. If not, ebay usually has reputable sellers who will fix "Lens error" on most digital cameras for a "fixed Price"

Search ebay for "lens error" and you should find several hits...

recently completed auctions on ebay have ended anywhere between $30-100 for camera body, lens and flash. It would probably depend on the quality of the items, but hopefully that will give you a ballpark estimate.

Just the flash drive will work.

No, you use either one of the other.

Take it in to an authorized Nikon service location or contact Nikon.

This can lead to frying of your camera electronics so get it fixed ASAP.

camera would work fine.
you would possibly need a voltage converter in order to use the battery charger, but everything else would work fine.

Because the D3000 doesn't have a built-in wireless "commander" function. So you need to use an SU-800 to control other flash wirelessly.

The TL220 is one of my favorite cameras and it does have a shutter burst mode! You cannot change this setting if you are in Auto Mode though.

(I would tell you how to turn it on, but I need it in my hands to do it.)

Here's a PDF manual of the 4004s, which is very similar to the 4004.

VR has few lens elements inside the lens that move in response to the lens movement, counteracting the movement. This movement occurs in vertical and horizontal axis reducing the 'shake' helping the user to hold the camera steady even at slower shutter speeds. Usually 2-3 stops are gained by this (though Nikon claims 3-4).
VR is not effective in macro work since the movement in macro is usually perpendicular to the movement the VR elements can move in the lens. Using a tripod is also more effective without the VR.

That being said, the addition of extra elements has some effects on the image quality. I have seen VR lenses to be slightly softer than the ones without. Though surprisingly the chromatic aberrations are similar in VR and non-VR counterparts.

Whatever be the case, rest assured, you have picked the right one. If it's VR your wife can hand-hold in many long focal length shots, if it's without VR you can expect slightly better sharpness.

I had this issue too. I turned on my camera and it picked up on the new addition. :) I'd try that and see if that works. If not, try a different USB port. If that fails as well, read the manual on your camera.

It has a shutter - you can't control it though.

The joys of idiot proof cameras basically.

I would recommend you
