It was a million times better! Definitely has to be on your 'places I must see before I die' list.

We did some snorkelling - sea was very cold though so had to wear wet suits. Saw lots, seals, turtles, moon fish, etc but for me it was all a bit of a blur as I wore my glasses inside my goggles. Wish I'd known about prescription lens goggles before I went! We have some underwater pictures but they were all from a disposable film camera.Welcome to the Forum, looking forward to seeing some Galapagis pics, did you go diving or snorkelling ?
Pics are all on Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/surgenor/sets/72157601525846259/
As I said earlier I made a huge mistake buying the camera just before the holiday, not reading the manual properly and not having a few test shoots before I went.
I'm embarrased to admit but I lost almost a half days shooting (albatrosses) beacuse I was using the preview button until I realised the shots weren't saved! RTFM!

Welcome to the forum - I would love to go to the Galapagos Islands one day. Couldn't find any pic's on your flickr site though? (get scanning! )
I don't think this site supports RSS feeds, there was a post requesting this a few weeks ago but it never went any further. It's a pity as it's much easier to make it look as though you are busy at work when a new 'email' arrives than it is surfing the web!

Welcome from me too - as for RSS feeds - no sign of them! Suggest you raise a new topic for this.

I can't remember when I got my first camera but it was a few years back - a Pentax S1a! I've went through a few more 35mm film cameras since then, all of which I think will still be in the loft somewhere, before I bought my first digital - K100D - a couple of years back.
My wife and I were 50 and had been married 20 years so went on the trip of a life time to the Galapagos, buying the K100D to capture the trip. I learnt some important photography lessons on that trip not least of which was read the manual first - at least twice!
I'd like to move on now and I'm looking to buy a K20D soon and have already received lots of good advice here on Pentax User. Thanks everyone.
