panasonic camera lens cover stuck image
Peter
First off id like to thank you for opening this question.
I am having a lot of trouble deciding on a digital camera.
Originally I was going to purchase a DSLR camera but lacked
the currency and also felt i wasn't up to that level yet.
MY mom has an olympus camera with a 5X zoom and mostly all
automatic controls. ( No manual except for ISO settings)
Im stuck on 3 camera
There all really good camera and just wanting some more opinions on people that own them.
The first one is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18.
It has an 18x optical zoom, 8.1 mg, and a very good wide angle shot, and has RAW imaging.
The only complaints i have heard about this camera is noise on high ISO settings. I expect this as it is not an LSR, but just wondering how bad it may be.
The second option was one of the two my photography instructors reccomended. The Canon Powershoot S5 IS.
IT has a 12x optical zoom, Covered, twistable LCD screen, hot shoe,and great video features. ( 4 modes, speakers, zooming in and out)
But with this camera I've heard complaints about high ISO settings again, but above 200. Lower than the panasonic. Truth? Fiction?
And also no RAW imaging. Someone online said it doesnt need it since the JPEG shots were so good anywz? true? I do mess around with photoshop a lot, and like how this camera can operate with color switches, and black and white color mixes. Those cant take a long time on PS, but you get a sense of accomplishment id say when you are done.
The third option, the other one my teacher reccomended to me was the Canon G9. I know that it is also a great camera , RAW shooting, hot- shoe. The only thing i wish it had was a better optical zoom. ( 6x)
So if anyone owns these cameras and has any suggestions or enlightenments please share.
Im going to a camera exchange tomorrow to feel out all 3.
Or if you know of a different camera for me to check out tomorrow that would also be helpful.
Intermediate level photographer id say, with around 400 dollars.
Thanks!

Like fhotoace correctly indicated above you can have a DSLR (a major jump from your selection) for an extra $70 or so. The downside is that you'll lose the massive zoom -- the kit lens is a modest 3x zoom but it covers a commonly used range. You'll need to spend $100-300 more if you want the same reach that you get with a bridge camera.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 is a good choice. The high ISO noise is definitely a problem but not so much that the FZ18 will be left in the dust when compared with other cameras in the same category. The older Lumix cameras were especially problematic above ISO 200, not so much with the newer models like the FZ18 and FZ28.
The Canon PowerShot S5 IS is probably the most popular bridge camera currently on the market. Like the FZ18, the Canon S5 produces good results up to ISO 400. The FZ18 sports a wider zoom range but the S5 has a very useful articulated screen. As far as important differences between the two: that's it. There's other stuff too (video abilities, scene modes, etc.) but they're not overly important. It should be noted that the S5 IS can do some pretty neat stuff (RAW, HDR, custom shutter speeds, and much more) with the help of a nifty enhancement called "CHDK".

The PowerShot G9 is a very popular camera that many pro and amateur photographers use to complement their primary equipment. It's often used as a proof camera (like Polaroids in the days of film) or a lighter, smaller, and quieter companion. The things you talk about is what makes the G9 such a great choice. As far as zoom goes: it's not that important. Regular shooting won't require a super duper zoom lens. Every human comes with a very handy tool: feet.
This doesn't narrow down your choices at all but it may help you decide which one you want. Like always, go to your local store and try all the cameras out before settling on any single camera. It's very likely that you'll find what you're looking for this way.

Olympus FE-310 Digital Camera Problem?
dArL�Ng�
My Olympus camera wont turn on! When i turn it on the slide the battery cover over a picture pops up saying full battery and battery cover is open. Then when i slide the cover back into place the screen just turns black then five seconds later or when i press a button it turns off. Even when i don't slide the cover and just try to turn it on normally it beeps and flashes orange light indicating "low battery." The Lens is stuck out and wont go in. I can move then lens like pop it in and out. but it wont go in.
It says the batteries are low when i have TRIED EVERY SINGLE BRAND OF BATTERIES IN THE WORLD. Energizer, Alkaline(Rite-Aid), Energizer Rechargeable, Duracell, Panasonic, Sony Rechargeable, Radio Shack Rechargeable, and Rayovac.
I got this as a birthday present last year, and my mom wont let me buy a new camera even if i pay for it, because i have this camera. I need to fix it please help.
You know us girls we like to take pictures with friends during the summer!

Don't try pushing on the lens. If the fine mechanical parts inside it break, you will definitely be needing a new camera.
It may be a problem with the terminals inside the camera. Take it to your nearest photographic specialty store. Someone there should be able to give you a hand, and perhaps determine whether the terminals need to be cleaned, or whether it is a more serious problem with your camera.
If it is a more serious problem, and the camera is less than a year old, it will still be under the manufacturers warranty. The store which you purchased the camera from will be able to send it in to be repaired or replaced at no cost to you as long as you have kept your proof of purchase.
Good luck.
