Bristol Camera's are fine and that looks to be the best published price presently.

Check the button with the flower on and make sure its on AF, not on macro or on manual focus or something not intended. Using Auto or the Auto Pict would reset that for those modes.Friend has mx-1 on av, tv , manual when she presses shutter to focus it seems so achieve focus for split second then shift off it but if she puts camera into auto its fine , has anyone got any ideas what is wrong.

Actually got my K-S1 for an unbeatable £99 (brand new with lens and full two year guarantee) from a very well known department store. Must have been the camera bargain of the year, though as they had discontinued it they were glad to get rid!

I've got a K-S1 and often use either it or a MX-1 as its quite suited for carrying without being weighed down to much. I certainly like the K-3 and K-1 too but when they're in a bag for a shopping trip one thinks twice about taking them.
The K-S1 is also a little funky looking which your youngster might see as being more trendy!
Eight is certainly a good age to start to get to grips with exposure concepts and composition; so good on him for his interest and yourself for the encouragement.

Thats my son in the first picture at Minehead, Love that picture! I,d got him a Nikon L340 but after seeing the photos he`d taken realised I should have bought he a proper DSLR and he`s only 8 so am going to treat him for his birthday
While I'm sure you know best, might he not be better with one of the lighter 'proper' DSLRs such as a K-S1 or a K-S2? It'll give him something to aspire to still, i.e. getting a real 'pro' DSLR later like Dad's got! The photos those produce are just as good as Dad's camera only more portable! Lucky lad either way!Thats my son in the first picture at Minehead, Love that picture!

They can certainly look different depending on how the monitor is set up.

Ah dear. Shame the camera and other lenses didn't turn up too. You did well to spot the ones you did on eBay as one 16-85 looks pretty much like any other. Guess the low life were thinking that and expected no one to notice. Have you reported the theft to your insurance company as those still missing items may well be covered under general contents and it would appear you have police crime details to back up any claim.
Great photos too, is #2 Lake Windermere from Great Tower?
What was you son's camera, and is it he in #1?

Would this work on your Mac? - Simple EXIF Viewer for Mac OS X 2.7.1
For something more substantial there's Gimp.
Maybe Mac users will make some further suggestions.
