This is 100% a true story told to me directly. My friend said he
picked up a 17" monitor (generic model) and could feel a fairly strong
electric shock down in his midsection. The monitor was completely
sealed at the time but powered on. I have heard similar stories about

I'm looking to get my first digital camera. I have a few 'needs', so I
guess I'll start with those.
Need 1: I NEED the camera to be able to take great macro shots. I
collect coins, and want to be able to set the camera up on a copy stand

I managed to strip the thread for mounting my FinePix S5000 on a tripod. Any
advice about what to do?
Fuji say they can repair it but will not give me a quote until they see the
camera.

I just got a Sony cybershot DSC-F55V.

Can someone help me out with this:

I just spent my Sunday afternoon doing some rather unscientific testing of
my new Canon 17-40mm lens. Despite having a digital P&S for several years
(and using the manual controls quite a bit) I found myself like a fish out
of water with a new DSLR. Suddenly I had a camera where ...

Two days ago i asked the question about if the 70-200mm f/4 L lens is
worth its money. It seems everyone agrees it would be the best choice
for that range. Most of you were telling me that my choice for 18-125mm
Sigma is not so good. I am planning on getting a Canon 20D and I am

Folks

with their media.  Can anyone comment?  I can get a 256MB MS Pro for pretty
cheap...

Maybe I will be glad that I have waited to test the 350xl. From reading from
some of the first reports is that the first run of the 350XL is much better
out of the gate than the 20D ever was. The pictures seem to be sharper, no
banding issues, no lockups, and the built in flash ...

I'm after a small camera that does good video.  I was going to go for the
IXUS 30 (640x480 at 30 fps) but noticed that Pixmania UK didn't show it in
their Top 10. They have the Coolpix 5200 as no. 1 which does the same video
spec. but is a 5 M pxl camera for the price of the 3 M ...
