Crimey Thanks Ted - looks like something out of the V&A. Bet you didn't buy it from new
Nope, it was second hand from a friend who upgraded to a new scope.
Don't think it's more than about 10 years old, though.

512s? why that small? SD itself was supported all the way up to 2GB... I have a 1GB and a couple of 2GBs here. Can send them over to be tested?

I can also find 512s new... link: http://www.verkkokauppa.com/popups/prodinfo.php?id=16779

the store's round the corner from work. LMK if you want one or two.

It's an old camera. 2Gb wasn't available when it was new.
It will work with 1Gb, but sometimes won't switch on properly. Works every time on 512, so I'll stick to them. But thanks for the offer

Stunning. Which scope?

I did rather like this one myself. (But I deleted the other 20 )

Unfortunately it'll only take 512Mb cards and they are rare as rocking horse muck these days ( anyone selling any? ).
Not sure whereabouts in Germany yet. I'm sure we'll find out before June.

To be honest, I think you've captured North Wales in these, I really like them.
I'd like them to be more contrasty, but that's a personal preference.

As for Anglesey being wet. I went there one Easter and my legs got so sunburned that the line of my boots was still visible the following Christmas

I only wish it was a K5

I wanted an old, cheap compact, primarily as Emily is going on a school trip to Germany this year. She'll want to take photos, and with an old camera if it goes missing it won't be the end of the world.

I spotted an Optio 33LF on Ebay for £12. I finally got it for £15. It's a decent little camera and image quality isn't bad considering it is a 3.2 mP camera. It also seems to have a few nice toys on it, but then, it is Pentax

I think this can stay in the car with me for any chance photo oppurtunities
