I need to replace my wife's aged S30 with something equivalent in both size & capabilities.

Hello...we have owned our S30 for over 10 years & it has proved to be a great camera for almost everything but somebody got sand in the mechinism & I suspect it's also been dropped by a couple of grandkids.  I am looking for something with similar capabilities & size for Christmas....any thoughts or recomendations.
Thanks in advance,
Billgr0248

At 3 MP and 3x zoom, S30 is a rather large and bulky camera for today's standard of point and shots.
Right now B&H has Canon PowerShot A3400 IS for $69
 - L I N K -
that compare to S3, the difference are like day and night, including HD video capability on this little monster.
But then if your wife has shown signs of need to grow out of PnS, may be its a good time to consider a more capable camera even an entry level DSLR such as T4i or EOS M but those come at a price tag and unless really needed, I am sure she will appreciate a fully automatic small camera instead of here old one.
Merry Christmas to you all.

  • I am interested in replacing my contact management software(act) with something on my Ipad.

    I am interestuing in replacing my current contact management system(Act) with something on my Ipad.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I would need to transfer it from my PC.

    Does the Contact Managemet system need to be on the PC?  We have software called BlackBook - it's a server-based contact management system on the Mac, and it has a CardDAV server so we can get the contacts on our iPads and iPhones. 
    Does that help?  Here's their website

  • I need to replace a color on my image with a specific color from another part of the image.  How?!

    I have spent over 2 hours trying to figure out how to replace a color on one part of my image with a specific color shown on another part of the image.  So far I have been able to go to "Replace Color" on my Adobe Photoshop version, but it seems that I can only change the hue and brightness of the color that it currently is.  I need to use a specific color so this does not help me.  Does anyone know how to complete the task I am referring to?
    Also, please keep in mind that I am using Adobe Photoshop 6.0, not a fancy cs version or anything.  So it's pretty old school...
    Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated!  Thank you.

    Hi brookehelene,
    You might consider making a selection the object and using a color fill layer set to the color blend mode instead of replace color.
    I used the same picture as kendallplant did and changed the color on the same flower by sampling the pink color from the flower to the right)
    (click on the screenshots below for larger views)
    1. Select>Color Range
       (i used color range because the dialog is somewhat similar to the replace color dialog, except one is making a selection instead of replacing a color)
       (there are many other ways to make the selection such as the magic wand, so if your more familar with the other selection tools you can use those instead to make your selection)
    2. Use the eyedroppers and fuzziness slider in the color range dialog to make the selection of the object.
       (in the screenshot below the white areas are selected and black areas are not)
       (your selection probably won't be perfect, but you can paint on the layer mask to refine the selection)
    3. After you press the okay in the color range dialog you'll see the selection (marching ants)
       At the bottom of the layers palette press the Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer icon
       to reveal a list and choose Solid Color.
       Then use the eyedropper to sample a color from your image and press ok.
       Change the Blend mode for the color fill layer to Color (top of the layers palette)
    4. As you can see a lot has been selected besides the flower.
        To refine the areas of color, paint on the layer mask with the paintbrush tool.
        Use white to add the color or black to subtract the color
        You can press the D key on the keyboard to get the default colors (black and white) in the toolbox
        and press the X key to switch between the two when painting on the layer mask.
    Even though the above takes longer you can easily change the color or modify the areas that you want to change the color on.
    To change the color you can double click on the color fill icon in the layers panel.
    You can also use other layer blend modes besides color such as hue, so you might try some of the others and see what they do.

    Did you add memory?
    Bad or not well seated memory modules are often a cause of kernel panic

  • Replacing a value of a node with CDATA (as is)

    Hi All,
    How do I replace the value of a node such that it's CDATA format is preserved and not re-encoded. Currently, when I do similar to the following:
    replace value of node doc(doc_name)/parent/node with "<![CDATA[[the data]]]>"
    the less than and greater than signs are replaced with &lt ; and &gt ; respectively, losing its CDATA section status.
    How do I replace the value such that within the resulting XML it is exactly "<![CDATA[[the data]]]>" and not "&lt ;[CDATA[]the data]]&gt ;" ?
    Thanks in advance

    John,
    I am aware that it's synatic sugar. However, I actually need it to look that way. Thing is after edits, the resulting XML will be read by a component (that I have no access to change) which requires that node to have CDATA (as is) as it's value.
    Anymore ideas; Anyone?
    Instead of replacing the value (ie. replace value of node doc()...), I replaced the node (ie. replace node doc()...) with something similar to: <node>CDATA-section</node>. However, as expected only the data within the CDATA section gets persisted.
    In this case could I turn something off or on such that xmldb leaves the CDATA-section as is? e.g. http://www.xquery.com/tips_and_tricks/including_CDATA_in_results.html
    Thanks,

  • How frequently do I need to replace my airport wifi?

    How frequently do I need to replace my airport wifi?

    Replace it every time it breaks and can no longer be fixed.
    That may be a very long time.

  • Need to replace my iPad 32GB 3G+WiFi

    Hi..
    I bought an iPad a month back from a mall in India.
    It was working fine until Friday and suddenly it started showing , " NO SIM CARD INSTALLED" .
    It has got more problems like, iCal crashing immediately when you open and slow response to gestures, etc.
    So, it looks like I have came across a faulty piece.
    So, I need to replace this and get a completely new one from Apple.
    I have lost my bill, but I remember the store.
    So, can I just goto the store and give them my serial number and ask them to process my replacement ?
    Is that replacement immediate or does it take time ?
    Actually, I had to fly 3000kms to get it and I won't be able to stay for more than few hours in that city, when I go for the replacement.
    So, can I get an immediate replacement ?
    Let me know ASAP!

    You aren't talking to Apple on this forum. This is a user-to-user technical help forum; Apple only hosts these forums. No one here can answer your question.
    You could contact the store where you bought your iPad to see if they will replace it for you. If so, have them reserve the iPad and setup a specific time when the replacement will be available.
    Another approach would be to contact Apple support. See Contacting Apple for support and service

  • Replacement of wifi card

    I have a hp pavilion dv7 home premium, win 7premium, intel core i7 processor. Would like to replace the wifi card; currently intel 1000, to intel 6250. The bios does not recognize the 6250. My bios ver is F.1c insyde. Is there an update that will allow me to use the 6250 wifi card?
    Thanks for any help

    We need the full model number but likely not. If the laptop is more than about a year old there is a BIOS whitelist that will prevent unapproved wifi cards from being used. Need the exact model number to know what is listed for it. 

  • USB port....need to replace the motherboard or whatever holds the USB in place

    the USB port on the lower R side of my hp pavillion dv1000 notebook pc....when I try to plug something into the USB port, the port goes in.  I need to replace the USB port. I don't know if it can be fixed or if I have to replace a motherboard or sisterboard or whatever the USB port is connected to. Any ideas or advice and how hard is it to fix it. I don't want to get rid of the laptop because it still works great. I can burn and play cds and dvds on it. I can use the WIFI to access my email. Other than the USB port connection needing repair...it runs great. Please advise or help. Since it's out of warrantee since 2007(purchased in 2004) hp will not give me any support or tell me what part I need to replace etc... And it would cost more to send it out to fix....around 400 or 500.  So I want to get the part and have my friend put it in. Please advise/help.
    Angie

    Post your full model number and I will see if it is a replaceable part.

  • How much money needed to replace the iphone ?

    Hello all,
    I have a iPhone 4s with greyed out problem. My phone had a water damage but it did not cause anything on the phone. However, 2 weeks ago my wifi just greyed out. I cannot use wifi anymore. What I am wondering is, how much money do I need to replace the phone ? I saw 150€ and 150$ to replace. I suppose Apple gives the "0" phone to customers after the payment but I want to be sure on the amount of the money ? Does anyone has an idea on that ?
    Thank you.

    We are all fellow users on here and not Apple employees so cannot speak for Apple or what they will do.  That said, I would be very surprised if a US Apple store would be willing to do any replacement for this iPhone as it is not a US version.  Your friend can certainly visit an Apple store genius bar and see what they will do, there is no harm is asking.
    A new one will still have the problems I noted above, no warranty outside the US, LTE service will be for the US frequencies, locked to a US carrier unless you pay the premium price for a factory unlocked iPhone, on the order of $600.

  • My iphone 4s is over 2 years old and I need to replace the battery. How much will this cost at an Apple store?

    I have an iphone 4s that is  over 2 years old. The phone's battery is no longer able to hold a  charge for an acceptable length of time.  Assuming I need to replace the battery, how much will this cost at an Apple store?

    Basically, I'm new to Apple, despite using them before, but I've never actually owned my own.
    Since buying this phone off a colleague at work, I seem to be having problems with it. First, I noticed how rubbish the battery life is, then my charger almost went up in flames and thirdly my camera lense is scratched beyond belief.
    I know the phone isn't within warranty, although I was lead to believe it was before and during buying it, so basically I'm extremely disappointed with the general make up of iPhone's considering they cost such a **** of a lot of money, you'd think they'd be built to last.
    Back to my main point, how much would it cost for a new battery? Or a new camera lense if anyone can help me with that? (I know that the back of the phone was refurbished just before my buying it, so literally just the camera lense)
    Thanks!
    So basically it sounds like you bought an abused used iPhone and somehow that makes the phone subpar because dispite the abuse it should still last forever and look like new? Batteries don't last forever, even under ideal conditions, so your expectatoins are unrealistic. Take it in and have an estimate done.
