Camino LS6

Wow Z! Do you think I can get away with that after spending all that time online with support telling them what's wrong with it?

I'll check them out. A new camera really isn't in my budget right now, so I guess I'll have to borrow one for immediate needs. I thought that I was buying a quality item with this one. It has a bazillion settings , and high specs for cameras when I bought it. I think I'll skip the video on the next one.

Thanks for the help man. I knew I should have gone for one with less features. I always seem to have better luck when I buy high quality/low feature products.

NO! Any hope there?

I guess it's time to research each of the HP models.

Ugh! no good options.

Crap! I had a feeling you would say something like that. The camera has never been wet, or abused in any way(although that is starting to sound like a good idea). I'm really stuck because the only choice I have to get some credit out of this thing is to take HP's offer on "refurbished" cameras. Otherwise, I'm out the $500 I spent on this one and whatever the new one costs. These are my options on the refurbished HPs (trading mine in) Photosmart 945 (same model) $179.99 M425 $96.99 M525 $111.99 Photosmart R927 $226.99 I haven't researched these yet, but I guess I'll have to take one of these options.

Well, whatcha think Mr. Doane?

It's a Monet! I swear!

Here's one of the pics:

I will but it will take a while to do. (dialup)

I see our server errors are back too! Oh joy!

It turns on and all controls/buttons work as they should. The image itself is the problem as it never resolves into a clear and complete image. It jumps around and flashes and generally looks like a website that won't load, or a bad TV image. It is not just the screen either, as it captures the unresolved image on the memory card as well. Seems like a software failure, but I guess that doesn't make sense.

Just about 2 years ago I bought an HP Photosmart945 digital camera (about $500). It has been used lightly and always kept in its original styrofoam packaging. Well, a few weeks ago it just decided to stop working. So, I went through all of the troubleshooting procedures and ran the camera's own diagnostic tests all to no avail. I then went online and tried all of the HP suggestions there - no dice. Then, I go online with an HP tech in a live chat - we try everything without luck. Now, after investing about 3 hours of my day on this, the result is: 1) it's out of warranty 2) HP doesn't repair their cameras 3) my only options are an "upgrade" from HP of my choice of several models of their current cameras that are "refurbished" for a range of prices from just under $100 for a lesser model to nearly $300 for a higher end version with a few in between. I would have to "trade-in" my current camera to get this "deal". So, I'm feeling like I got royally screwed on this deal. Is it unreasonable to expect more than 2 years of service from a fairly high -end digital camera? Somehow I don't think so. Right now I'm not feeling too comfortable with the idea of shelling out more cash for another HP - especially a "refurbished" one. They can't fix mine but they can sell me a refurbished one? Something wrong here.

"parking" is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks!

Anyone else have some input for me?

Thanks Bimmer. All of the gobbledygook on Go Daddy kinda spooked me. My idea will keep until I have a better understanding of this.

Absolutely put them on your list,Razor. They are as prog as it gets, but with a gritty undertow that only makes the music better. Mental Jewelry is easily in my top ten from the '90s. Glad to see some other folks chiming in on this thread, Razor and I can't do all the work. OCN: you never cease to surprise me, cool to hear you are a Live fan. Must be a Pennsylvania thing.

I almost registered a name through Go Daddy, but my head started to spin with all of the options available and all of the legalese involved. Can someone give me the rundown on this?

It would seem you guys need another hint. The band in question titled a later effort Throwing Copper. It was quite successful.

The problem is that I don't know what my blue feather even is at this point. Thanks for the thought though.

Welcome to C&G, Mr. Occupant, you'll fit right in. For a glimpse of what my auto addiction has done to me sample any/all of the links posted here: http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...=6835&hl=camino

Thanks for posting that,Razor. I do remember the name but not someone I really knew much about. Mine is from 1991 and is by a band that went on to a degree of commercial success after this album. I like the later stuff but prefer this one. Incredibly progressive stuff and I just had to have it after just one time hearing just one cut.
