The FIX Arena

I absolutely love photography, and I have a point and shoot camera (Kodak V803) which is very good, but for some reason just won’t work now. So, I decided to save up for a professional camera, but I want one that takes lovely photos, and is not too difficult to use, and most importantly; affordable. What are the best deals online for cameras like this? And anything else I need to know?
Hehe, yes I just meant SLR

I heard people are developing cameras that can take pictures and videos on subjects that can only be seen with a microscope. What would you do with such a new feature? Would that be even better if this camera is on a cellphone?
By “invisible” I mean that they are too small to be seen by the naked eye, rather than truly invisible like ghosts

How do I fix my lens error on my easy share C713 kodak camera?
Whenever I turn the camera on it says lens error 126,1,0,-7 and then it turns off. It started when I tried zooming it, then it just shut off and said that. A couple weeks ago I dropped the camera and the lens was crooked and had a different lens error but my friend managed to fix it but this one, I can’t figure out how to fix. Please help.

I noticed that alot of professional photos are taken at night, such as ones with stars in them along with other objects. However, they don’t use flash, what kind of cameras do they use for that?
Thanks alot, but what type, what brand, which ones are expensive enough to be able to do that

have some questions about wireless cameras. when running wireless can the other cameras function if the main usb cord or the dsl cord are removed. meaning if you just disconnect the usb will the other cameras on the system still work or does it matter?

Hey Guys,

What do the small little black cameras do that are usually on top of the poles that traffic lights hang from? I always thought those were for taking pictures of “rule-breakers”, but it looks like those are different. You can see the little cameras I am talking about on the middle of the horizontal pole in the background. What are they for?

So those are different from red-light cameras (in the foreground)?
Woops! Forgot to link to the picture:

That is the one I was referring to in the text above.
Oh, these can usually be found on EVERY single traffic light pole. What are they for?

I have a whole bunch of exposable cameras that I forgot to develop a while ago, and I really want to develop them. Has anybody developed expired cameras? Does it depend on how long ago they were expired if so how long should it be? Will the pictures turn out?? Sorry lots of questions. But I really want to know because these are my precious pictures. Please answer too if you have developed pictures from expired disposable cameras. Thanks in advance!

These cameras are mounted on a bar that is attatched to a post on the kerb. If,forexample, the road had 3 lanes then there would be 3 cameras on the bar. Each one positioned on the bar so it points to the center of the lane looking down.Unlike the usual speed cameras that have 2 elements (the lens and the flash) these camera are in 2 separate parts. One is the lens that looks similar to any cctv type camera. The other part seems to be a type of sensor. I’ve seen dozens of these cameras since they started to appear in the past 2 months. They’re all on major roads around London but not in central London so they’re not Congestion Charge cameras. What ever they are they’re definately aimed at catching out motorists. But for what? Some of the sites I’ve seen them at are the A30 at Hatton Cross, on the A316 between the A4 and M4 and the A4 in Chiswick near the 2 BP petrol stations.

Sometimes the people are right next to the camera and they don’t even notice it. How do they do this? Where are the cameras?
