I have an ancient cheap Acer scanner that works just fine for me the
few times I need it.
The one thing it does miserably though is scanning black and white
photos out of books.  I've tried scanning pictures from old high

I need help selecting a camera that will be used primarilty to take
pictures of items that I want to sell on ebay.  I typically sell
medium sized items such as guitars, monitors, and such.  There is no
need for the pictures to be highly detailed.  What camera should I

I have a Coolpix 5400 which I use with 256MB Viking Interworks CF cards.
I seem to have quite a few problems reading/writing and just losing all
the pictures on the card or suddenly wants formatting. Is it the camera
or is it the cards. I've written a number on each one to see if ...

There's a gadget called a "Hoodman" -- it's a black flip-up cover for the
LCD on your digital camera.  I got it for my D70s and found it looks cool,

A85. I guess I'll have to see what is announced next week

I've been using Ofoto.com to make online albums that friends and family
around the country can check out.  Lately I've noticed that the quality of
their online images has deteriorated to the point where I don't want to use
them anymore.  Does anybody know of any good alternatives?

I have 2 pictures disappeared from my smart media card on my Olympus
C-2000Z.
I think they were deleted accidentally during transport.
Can any body help to recover these pictures please?.

I have a cheapo Kodak CX7300, anyway I know it captures to intermedia
bmp files on the memory, so that it can snap away while still
processing the last file.
But there's no mode to just keep the bmp file for maybe special

I'm considering this as a backup for my Canon Digital Rebel. It's a
consumer-grade 4 megapixel P & S camera.
Obviously I wouldn't consider it in the same grade as cameras like the Nikon
Coolpix 5400 or 5700, Canon Powershot G3, but if it's in the same league as

I'm thinking about getting this for general zoom telephoto for my 20D.
How is this lens for shapeness in outdoor working?

I bought this camera second hand with a cracked LCD screen. I can use the

able to buy this scrren as a spare part?
Thank you in advance
