I let a friend use it for a moment at the beach, and she gave it back to me broken. She briefly dropped it in the sand, and the camera is very touchy to begin with, so with the ocean air and the dirt it stopped working. The lens is stuck out fully extended and will not retract. When I turn it on, it powers up to a black screen and cites a 'lens error'. I have had a lot of problems with this camera in the past, but I NEED to use it tonight and so I was wondering if anyone knows of any tips or tricks for me to perhaps get it working again? The camera is a canon powershot http://www.itechnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/Canon-PowerShot-Sd1000-Digital-ELPH-Camera-2.jpg
Your friend should pay for a new camera because this one is toast.

Buying a Digital Camera? Tips on Making the Best Choice
Digital cameras are one of the top selling items in the electronics market today. They offer an ease of use and convenience that more conventional film driven cameras don’t have. Probably the most appealing part of using a digital camera is the instant gratification it gives with instantaneous feedback in the images they take.
The ability to download and save you digital images directly to your computer and then picking which pictures to print, email, or post to your Facebook page makes this type of camera a great choice for even the most novice of picture takers. And the ability to delete bad shots and save the good shots makes the learning curve much cheaper and easier.
The problem for the first time camera buyer is deciding which camera is the right choice for them? Just go to the local electronics store and you’ll see them lined up on the display; all different makes and models each with features that are hard to choose from. If you know someone who is knowledgeable about digital cameras take them with you to help make sense of all the choices. If not consider the following tips to get the most out of your camera shopping experience.
The first thing to look at is how many mega-pixels the camera is rated for. The higher the number the better the resolution (a sharper image) will be. This is important if you want to enlarge your pictures for printing or posting on the internet. The trade for more meg-pixels is price and those cameras with the highest meg-pixel per image will cost more then lesser cameras.
Another thing to look at is if the camera has an LCD screen and how big it is. A camera with a 2.5 inch or larger viewing screen makes it easier to set up and frame your picture. Be sure to check the cameras digital zoom strength as well. A 10x zoom capability is a good choice for getting those far away shots. Of course for really long shots a more powerful zoom is necessary but for beginning photographers 10x should suffice.
Red-eye is a problem for all photographers and choosing a camera with anti-red eye technology. This is a nice feature and most cameras have them but you do want to find one that allows you to turn it off and use a normal flash for certain picture taking situations.
Capturing life’s moments is what taking pictures is all about and a digital camera is a great way to do this. Just be sure to keep these tips in mind and before you know it you’ll be taking pictures that will bring a lifetime of memories.

1 Im getting an 8mega pixel digital camera for christmas. Any tips for getting awsome pics?
What can I take pics of?
And Idea how to get awsome snaps?(Like..of people doing things or animals or somthing)
any good tips for pics?
First and foremost ead the insturction manual that comes with it...Nowadays these little point and shoot cameras have an owners manual that is thicker than the camera itself but they are jam pakced with good tips...Here is greaqt one for the hollidays...tried and true by yours truly..IF your camera has teh ability to shut off the flash ( manual will say so if possible) then secure the camera to a fixed loaction ( like a pce of funiture etc) and take a time lapse photo of your tree. If you take it this way the tree when lit will come out all warm and aglow....the lights will shine softly and the light given off by the tree will bathe your room in a warm light...If you take it with the flash you will not see the Christmas tree lights.....and the room will be very very bright. Your tree will not look nearly as well as the former method justdescribed.There are plenty of tricks and treats you will find that you can do with this camera so ad up on it and enjoy...8 megapixels shouel give you good quality pictures up to a 16x20 blow-up poster...After taht 8 megapixels starts to degrade a bit

From 0, to earning up to 10 to 50 SwagBucks points EACH DAY, here are some tips that are sure to GET you that IPOD, PSP, Digital Cameras, or Amazon and Istore Gift Cards that you have been saving for: 1. The BEST way to earn Swag Bucks Points is to get your frends to help you out. Sign them up from your Referral Link and encourage them to use the search engine. You will get EACH, that's right, EACH point that your friend / referral gets from the searches (ranges from 1-3, 5, 10, 50 and 100 points!). Each of those friends signed under your referral has a potential AVERAGE of gaining 1-5 points each day. Add them up together, and that's a TOTAL of 10 - 50 or MORE points EACH day!
2. The most accessible way to gain points are to find SwagBucks Codes. These codes can generally be found on Twitter, Facebook Wall, and SwagBucks Links. Veteran members can easily spot these codes. So how do they spot it? The trick is to use a Widget.
3. The third BEST way of gaining points is by using the SwagBucks.com Search Engine. The key here is to 'REGULARLY' use their engine. FREQUENCY of searches, and/or CLICKS of sponsors at one time will not increase your chances of getting a point. The trick here, is to use their search engine every 6 hours or so. Like most people, I use the engine once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and then at night time just before hitting the sack. You can get as much as 1-3, 5, 10, 50 or 100 Swag Bucks Points!
4. the POLLS! If you're POLL question gets chosen, you get 10 hard SwagBucks Points! Ask yourself, "What POLL QUESTIONS would I personally answer if I were to see one?"
5. Putting up VIDEOS on Youtube. After getting your very first IPOD, or IPHONE from SwagBucks, post up videos with your referral links on em. You'd be amazed how many prospectives you can attract with this method!
and finally, my last yet least favorable way of gaining points,
6. The LESS popular Toolbar. You will have VERY easy access to your account, Swag Codes at your fingertips, and have the handy, dandy search bar just waiting for you at all time. The toolbar may also remind you to use SwagBucks regularly. Yes that's all true.. The only drawback, is that even after it's official release, there are still some major bugs. I would still go for the old fashion way, and use the search engine found at SwagBucks.com
So start searching, Find some Codes, and You will have that IPOD/GIFT CARDS that you have been saving for!
