Do I need a new digital camera or do I have more options? Well here's the deal. My digital camera will not charge what so ever. I connect it the computer with the USB cord to let it charge and the green light will go on & off I move it a certain way. So I thought, maybe the battery is completly dead, so I brought a new one & the same thing happened. Then I got an outlet charger and plugged it into that, & it still won't charge. Do I need a new camera or is there something else I can do?

What are the large memory cards for digital cameras called? I need to buy a new digital camera.? I need to buy a new digital camera that fits the larger SanDisk memory cards (not the small, more common ones) Unfortunately, I can't tell from the ads online what kind of memory cards cameras take.

How do I get old digital camera pictures onto my new digital camera? I just got a new Nikon Coolpix camera and I really like it, only I like being able to scroll old pictures I've taken with my camera. I plugged my memory card into my computer, transferred all of the photos to the new Nikon photo folder in the memory card and hoped that they would then show up. That didn't work though. Does anyone have any suggestions? They are all just jpg files and I don't see why my new camera can't see them in the play mode while I can see them in the memory card folder.

I have bought a new Digital camera (Fujifilm brand) that I can leave connected to my terminal, continuously.

The minute I got it I brought it home, put the battery and memory card in, and turned it on and played with the settings and took a few pictures.

For Christmas I want to ask for a new digital camera. What's a good one for AMAZING photography? Right now I have a Pentax camera. It's smaller and just takes normal pics, not really meant for photography, plus I want one with a bigger lense. Anyways, I've been getting into photography alot lately and I want to get a new camera for it. My friend told me that the Canon Rebel XT is good but I looked it up on Radioshack.com and it's pretty pricey. I'm looking for one maybe 300 or less. I'm not sure if there's any great ones out for that price, but if anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it! Also, has any tried the Fujifilm FinePix S1000 camera? I looked that up and it's only about 200 bucks, but I'm not sure if the quality is that great? Well once again, any suggestions would help! Thank you! (:
Can anyone recommend a 2 gb SD memory card for my new digital camera? I will be purchasing a new Canon Powershot S5 camera shortly (my first decent digital camera). I need to get an SD memory card, and I'd like 2 gb of storage. The trouble is, there are so many brands out there (Kingston, Panasonic, SanDisk, etc.) and so many types within each brand (I guess some are faster than others). My main criteria are: - reliability - price (under $50) - speed while taking photos with the camera - available at Circuit City where I'm purchasing the camera I am less concerned with speed for transferring photos to my computer - I won't be using the camera too often except on vacations, etc. Any and all opinions are appreciated. Thanks for the answers so far - I had heard about problems with some "off-brands" and that's why I asked the question. If anyone actually HAS one that they have been using and can recommend that particular brand, please do.
i want a new digital camera that is high quality? i'd like a new digital camera that is high quality, somewhat small not super super small just not huge. somewhere less then $500 i don't know if i can find a camera with these standards but i'm trying. i was also wondering what are the best brands to buy electronics from? thank you! :)
Can using a 'Generic' battery in my new Digital Camera damage it? I just bought a digital camera that uses a Canon Brand Li-ion battery. Aparantly, it lasts about 160 pictures with flash, which seems good! But the bad thing about rechargable batteries is if you run out of charge, you can't just go to the nearest store and buy some more. So I want to get an extra one or two for when I'm on vacation. Buying the replacment bettery from Canon is $70.00 plus shipping. I can find generic brands for SOOO much less, and they say that they're compatible with my camera. I'm worried about the chance that they could break or damage my camera, as well as if I can use my charger for the new generic battery. Has anyone used generic batteries for their camera, and if so, did they work okay? I'm torn because AA batteries in other cameras don't damage them even if you buy a cheap brand, but is it the same with specialized batteries... I'm not sure! My camera doesn't use AA or AAA, it uses a specialized Li-ion battery, looks like cracker, kind of, in shape.

I cannot operate this new Digital Camera? My wife got me this Sony Model:DSCW230 digital camera. She said the salesperson told her this thing is very simple to operate. That was two weeks ago. All I have been able to do is register the serial # on line. I have an old 35mm camera which works great. This new camera is killing me. I cannot figure it out to save my life. I have read the instructions over and over. I am ready to take it back. Are all these digital cameras this difficult, is it just this Sony camera, is it the way the instructions are written, or is it just me? Thanks to anyone who knows.

Getting a new digital camera? I've had my digital camera for about four years. It's a canon and when i first got it, it was just for recreational use. Now i'm on yearbook staff, and the camera is horrible. All the little things about the camera that didn't matter to me before, matter now. I end up taking a picture 5 times just to get one that's decent. So i'm getting a new camera. Do you have a suggestion of a camera that takes really good pictures, that doesn't cost a fortune?

I need a new digital camera? I am going out tonight to buy a new digital camera but was wondering where I should go/ what kind I should get.

I want to be able to zoom in and out and edit my pictures without them looking pixelated. I'm also into black/white photography so thats a must but it usually just comes programmed into the camera. Any ideas? I am wanting to spend up to about $300.00. Thanks!
What memory card should I purchase for my new digital camera? I just bought an Olympus Stylus 7000 digital camera. It says that it is compatible with both an xd card and micro sd card. I know the micro sd card is more universal and used for many other devices and that the xd card is basically for camera's only. My question pertains to performance, which card will perform better? Will they both store an image in equal quality and speed? Will one perform the more exotic functions of the camera while the other is mainly for standard pictures? Any help would be appreciated?

im thinking of buying a new digital camera? pardon my lack of knowledge when it comes to electronic gadgets. what exactly is a megapixel? and what are the differences? why is it that the higher the megapixel, the better the quality of the picture -- what makes it better? im thinking of investing some money on a digital camera, because after all, i love taking photos. i don't mind spending money, as long as i get what i want. i am torn between 2 cameras that i saw while shopping. one camera has a 12x zoom, and the other one is a sony cybershot t30 (the new one) what i like about the cybershot is that it captures the picture eventhough your hand shakes. (a common problem with me, whenever i press the button). which do you think would be a better investment? the sony t30 is more expensive than the other one. i think they are both 6 megapixels.
Digital camera does not power up even with new batteries - what is diagnosis & solution? I own a DSC-P52 Sony digital camera which runs on 2 standard alkaline AA batteries. I put in two new batteries in the camera. The camera powered up and showed full charge.

I tried with different batteries (not new but operating other devices). Still doesnt work. Any idea what this problem could be?

New technology in digital camera batteries?
