What type of camera do you use? Would you recommend it to others?
Comments (5)Don't have a digital camera, so can't help you there. I can tell you that if you're looking for a 35 mm point and shoot, you get what you pay for when you buy the cheap cameras. To get anything that lasts you're best off in the $100-200 range. Stay away from Vivitar. Consumer reports recommends the Olympus LT-Zoom 105, the Minolta Freedom Zoom Orion, the Canon Sure Short 105 zoom, or if you don't need as much zoom, the Canon Sure Shot 85 zoom is cheaper and just as good. I have an Olympus and it's been a great camera. Recommendations for digital cameras were the Olympus Camedia c-2020 zoom, the c-3030 zomm, and the Nokon Coolpix 800. Some less expensive choices were the Fujifilm FinePix 1400 zoom and the Kodak DC215 zoom....See MoreDo Not Use Your Cell Phone If You Are..............
Comments (3)I am sure it does, but she even changed batteries at the time and it didn't make any difference. The outside part is now normal and she can make and receive calls on it, but the inside screen is black. I will post more if it comes back on. At the time she was talking with me she commented how much she was sweating. I imagine she was holding it between her cheek and shoulder as she picked. We were making plans to go into town. When I dropped mine in the bucket of water and after it dried out and new battery, it still didn't light up on the inside, acted just like hers does. Sent it off to Verizon and they wanted $95 to fix it! No thanks. Sue...See MoreWhen do you replace your CD card for camera?
Comments (11)Remember the topic I did called something like, "I don't know how to.....?" Well, I should have added in the topic that I don't know how to work my camera except for the basic settings. lol. DH bought it for me, along with a tripod, zoom lens, wide lens, etc. It comes with a video that I never looked at. I've looked at the book but for the life of me I don't understand it, and when I take a picture it's a spur of the moment thing, not planned. I have never been able to take a picture at night unless it's the moon. I try to take pictures of Christmas lights at night, but the camera either won't "click" or the lights are awful. Honestly I'm about ready for a P&S camera like my last one. DH and I share an iphone and he uses the camera for work. I really don't need an iPhone so that doesn't bother me, but they do take great pictures....See MoreDo you use a PopSocket on your phone?
Comments (27)@linnea56 (zone 5b Chicago) they actually work better with a case. some phones (newer iphones) have glass on the back that's coated with some kind of anti fingerprint coating. this makes it very difficult to stick things directly to it, kind of like teflon. but I recently put a new pop socket on a case and had an extremely difficult time removing it. the version from a few years were repositionable. the new ones have much stronger adhesive. so be careful to place it correctly the first time! EDIT: if your case is made of silicone or fabric, a pop socket won't work....See More- 11 years ago
