Have just been to the camera shop and they sadi that it's the sensor and it won't be worth repairing............oh well, better start saving.......

Oh flip. Thanks folks. I've had it for about 5 years and am just trying to move it off auto.....perhaps it's gone into a state of shock??!!

Hi. Not sure if I am posting this in the right place. I have a compact Canon S60 powershot. I have recently noticed that the LCD screen is flickering when I switch it on to take a photo and also the top third of the screen is darker than the rest (a bit like a tinted sunvisor across the...

Thanks very much for all your suggestions..very much appreciated.....sorry for delay in replying but I've been away for a few days. Thanks again....great site....I'll be back :)

yeah.....i'm looking for a compact just for the ease of carrying it around with me.....

sorry folks.....not used this site very much and this question must've been asked lots but with my limited computer skills i couldn't find any info. i am looking for a compact camera with wide angle and optical zoom (want to take landscapes and pics of pet dog) that takes sharp photos. i'm a...

Don't know if I am supposed to post this here but I just wanted to ask....with flickr's advanced search, like you say ryank, I can search by camera and then look at photos taken with that particular camera...am I able to then ask the person who has taken the shot any questions?

I only joined a couple of weeks ago. I'm very much a novice and everyone has been very friendly and helpful. Don't be scared to ask :)

Thanks for the latest suggestions folks (not sure what 'contacts?' and the flashing face means from hepburn...I am well and truly a novice I'm afraid :) )

That's a great site....thanks very much. Some fab photos so no excuses with my compact :)

Thanks for all the continued 'welcomes' - very friendly place :) gribb 99 - near Whitby, again a great place for photography Thanks for reply Jimmy - am going to get out snapping and then back here pestering :)

Thanks for that folks. I can certainly only get better! I need to get out and start shooting! Only reg'd here on Saturday - have already learnt how to find replies to my threads without scrolling through to find my original thread and have also realised that 'oof' isn't a spelling mistake! :)...

Thanks for that. Yeah...I thought that I would really like to get 'into' photography so thought about getting a DSLR but my little compact can do soooo much more than I can that i definitely need to get my head around that first :) (I'm surprised my camera hasn't left me through boredom :) )

This is my 2nd question today after registering yesterday...brill! I've posted this on the 'welcome forum' but not sure if that was the right forum so putting it here as well......I'm very much a novice and I have a Canon Powershot S60 compact point and shoot (have had for 3 years or so and it...

That's just what I did wontolla....tried to abbreviate 'though'. It is addictive...I'm going to have to turn computer off 'cos I haven't done anything today other than look at this site! Be back soon though :)
