Read the book, Googled, given Sony digital camera and a color printer for Christmas. Don't understand how I can print directly from the camera. Is there an extra cable needed? If this is a simple yes/no answer, I would appreciate it. Dumb and dumber when it comes to pictures, have a throwaway which is the only thing I ever use. Hate to ask the person who gave it to me, as he's too busy. Is there a cable that pops into the little hole in the camera so I can chose a pic and print it right from the camera? Excuse the ignorance. Thanks!

Digital Camera
I have a digital camera that is only about 2 years old. I used it one day and it was fine. My husband used it the next day and the display does not show the picture or any information. I have not taken it into a camera shop yet but plan to as soon as I can get there. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem before? Can it be fixed? Is it expensive? I hope I don't have to buy a new camera. It still works, I just cannot preview the pictures, take videos, see the battery life or how many pictures I have taken, change settings or anything because I can't see the display.
Second to this note, if I do have to get a new one I am looking for suggestions. I currently have a Sony, so I would like to use the same memory cards (very expensive and I have 3). BUT, I do not like the delay on my current camera and would like a digital without delay but had a hard time finding one when I bought this camera. Of course, small and compact size is also a feature that I like.
Does anyone that has a digital camera with only the LCD screen and not the viewer know where you can
find a shader to put over the LCD screen for washout.
Got new digital camera, resistent at first and now those darn batteries
am having loads of fun taking my furkid's pictures. The question I have is my batteries have already played out after a very short period of time. What do most of you do regarding keeping a supply of batteries around. Do you have ways to prolong the life, do you buy loads at a time, do you buy in bulk? Thanks.
Just bought a Kodak digital camera without optical viewer and find the LCD screen is very difficult
to see what you are taking in bright sunlight. I just read on the internet this happens with many cameras. Any suggestions for this. I dont want to spend tons of money on a camera because I dont use them that often but I am not very happy with this. I tried to get a camera with the optical viewer but almost none of them except the really high end had this. A lot of people complain about this LCD washout. Just wondered if there is any fix for this without getting another camera. This is a Kodak Easyshare. Great in cloudy weather or inside but the sun is another story. 
Camera, need a new one looking at the
Canon PowerShot SD850 or Cannon PowerShot SD100 and HP R927..Does anyone have one of these and how do they like them? 
Take mine out but do not use the camera often...sm
and the one time I left them in, they were drained. Could have been the type of battery I used, though (cheap ones).
what kind of camera?
.
camera tricks!
I don't know how he does the mind-reading stuff. Can't blame that on a camera trick.
It's a BUG on the camera lens.
obviously
You should have bought different camera. We went
xx
I don't have a video camera right now....sm
because ours was stolen. I will have to invest in another one though. Good idea!
Yeah and now she is saying she didn't know the camera was on her
C'mon, this was no joke. She was expecting the win - she even put her arms up and smiled at first until she realized it was not her name called and then probably got embarrassed causing that "what!" reaction. Watch it again. That's what happened IMO. lol
Camera lens advice
Would like to get DD a camera lens for Christmas. She uses a Canon Rebel SLR film camera. I would like to get her a zoom lens, but don't know where to begin so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Would like to keep it under $200 which I know might not be realistic. Is buying a used lens off ebay a good idea?
She takes the camera with her everywhere and probably shoots close to a roll of film a week so I know it will get used a lot.
Thanks.
My camera is 2 years old and I hate it
Digital camera, that is. It is a Canon Power shot and it takes the worst pictures ever. Every human in it has red eyes. I have the red eye reduction on and it does not help.
So, can anyone recommend a digital camera they like that doesn't cost hundreds?
Any decent camera shop
that has any kind of processing service should be able to handle the conversion. You might want to call around and get prices. They probably will charge per slide. Nowadays, they'll probably also put digital versions of the pictures onto a CD for you. They can even create a DVD slideshow with background music. My mother had a bunch of old family slides converted some years ago, onto a VHS tape.
Of course, if you want to do it the REALLY old-fashioned way, and you don't care too much how good the prints are... I once set up the projector and screen, and actually photographed the screen, and thus got prints. At the time, I was on such a tight budget, and the cost of making a print from a slide was something ridiculous, and I only wanted the photos for a reference point, so I could see them without having to set up the equipment every time I needed to refer to one.... I'm sure there are much better options out there nowadays. In fact, I should look into it myself....
Digital TV
This new switchover to digital has caused quite a bit of problems in my area. We are over 100 miles from the tv stations and if I am lucky, I get one station that pops on and off. I am looking to buy a big antenna for the roof, however, I am the only one here right now. No man to rely on to climb on the roof. I have been looking in the yellow pages and all I see is cable and satellite, which I refuse to use, I prefer FREE tv. Anyway, does anyone know what type of worker installs antennas? Electrical contractor or just a handyman? I appreciate any help as I dont know anything about antennas. Thank you!
I think it can be both digital only or printed (sm)
if I understand it correctly. But you have to have a pretty good printer to print your page creation, I would say, or be able to send the image to a photo shop.
The CM Memory Manager program is actually pretty affordable so far as they go; I think it's 40 dollars. I used some of the free organizing softwares out there but none of them really quite worked with my brain right, if that makes sense, and the CM one did. But then again, I also use their photo organizing system as well, and it's sort of based on that. Plus I could do red eye fixes and light editing, which takes many of my pictures from just mediocre to good.
As an aside, the paper products and tools that CM has ARE pretty expensive compared to some other brands, but the quality is really high. You can go to the bank on the archival quality of their papers, unlike the stuff you find at the discount stores. (I was surprised to find that there's no law controlling the claim of 'acid free' or 'archival safe' it means nothing legally!) Then again, they're not the only good stuff out there, either, which is what some try to tell you. That was true a decade ago, perhaps, but not anymore. JMHO.
What about a digital frame?
DH and his sister are getting one for his parents, don't know what brand but think he ordered off newegg.com. Don't how much you're spending but I think there are some smaller ones you can get for under 100. Of course, if they're not savvy on electronics, like my mom, you might have to set it up and don't know what that involves since I've never seen one myself.
with a digital TV you need a VHF/UHF antenna.
I can also be a rabbit-ear antenna that you connect to your TV and put next to the digital TV. Not necessarily a roof-top antenna.
The closer to a window and the higher it is positioned, the better it will work.
RE: Digital Cameras - has anyone ever had a problem with your (sm)
digital camera and the LCD not displaying? Is there a fuse or something that possibly burns out??
The new digital ones give excellent
pictures and you probably won't have to get any of those extra pictures they used to have to do a lot. They can see better all the way out to the skin, so if you have a mole or something it won't cause confusion; they can see exactly what's going on. Therefore it's worth calling around and seeing if digital mammography is available at any centers in your area.
I believe it is going to end the cycle of mammo/US/bx my mom has had to go thru in the past that always turned out to be just scar tissue (after the first benign bx).
Regarding digital phone messages
Can anyone here tell me how I can download messages from my digital phone answering machine to a disk, computer, Zune MP3 player, or other separate device, or if this is even possible with a digital phone that did not come with that capability?
The phone is a Siemens Gigaset 4015 and is about 8 years old. One of the messages I am wanting to download is a precious message that my son left about 3 years ago and I would really like to be able to make sure I do not lose it.
TIA! 
Bought digital TV still no luck
I bought a new TV that has digital in it and an antenna that was compatible with digital back in February but when the switch happened last week, I now get if I am lucky one channel every few days. I used to have an antenna on the roof but someone stole it and I never replaced it because the analog worked well out here but the digital does not.
If you have a digital TV, you need a VHF/UHF antenna, no converter box....sm
If you do not have a digital TV, you need a coverter box and a VHF/UHF antenna.
And in both cases you have to do a channel re-scan.
She had a digital TV, I made the same assumption - sm
when I first responded. So now she need to know what kind of antenna to get, and she wanted to know who could put it up. In that respect I would look in the Yellow pages under antenna or TV/satellite installation. That should put her on the right track.
Anyone with digital camers do you take the batteries out when not using or leave them in. nm

Nikon Cool Pix (pics?) digital
Got a Nikon from my husband last Christmas and I love it. It is easy to work, is digital, software is simple, camera is small, but not too small. Pixels are terrific and the features are many. I would recommend it. It is on sale most of the time at Costco. The add on memory is fairly affordable too and I love to just keep the camera with us and add pictures until I have free time to upload them. Another thing I love about is that the battery stays charged for a long, long time. It takes beautiful pictures too!
Saw a digital photo keychain HSN few weeks ago that

Here is a funny pertaining to switching to digital TV in February

Anyone know where you can buy accessories for a Kodak digital such as Kodak batteries, SD card,
carrying case, etc. all at one place. Thanks
