Wkikepedia is actually wrong, and the ampersand is defined in dictionaries as the symbol & (and)- it is a corruption of the Latin and English combined "and per se and".

Sources: Encyclopaedia Britannica, Chambers's 20th Century Dictionary.

Same as gartmore, original Pentax hoods only.

Ampersand = &

The English word for @ is at. It's a recognised symbol and word that has been around much longer than computers.

There's no problem mentioning someone by name - there's even a thread for it.

The windows margins look OK, so it must be the picture. Do you have some sort of highlight/shadow warning switched on?

I wouldn't presume to call it bad programming as there may well be a very good reason for it.

The forum is custom built, but I don't know if it's based on something or not.

Very nice shots, very nice indeed. Worth risking meeting all those Torchwood and Dr Who nasties!

I'm curious as to what it stops you from achieving?

A test was needed because Sue wasn't happy with her new I-10 and thought she did better with her F50.The Fuji F50 is one of the best compacts they have made and replacement would be tricky as their later models are just not as good. The I-10 she bought on a whim because she liked the look of it, certainly a reason.

So we set up the two compacts and took some controlled pictures, identical lighting and viewpoint.

The conclusions were quite clear.

Colour: Both were different, neither was totally accurate but the better colour came from the I-10. The Fuji was particularly poor with greens, which were artificial and very over-bright.

Sharpness: Virtually identical and impossible to say which was sharper. Both fine.

Exposure: The Pentax exposed very accurately and did not blow out highlights. The Fuji was relatively poor and over-exposed. The Fuji was also more prone to flare.

Speed: The Fuji was faster than the Pentax. This may have been due to the SR system stabilising, so we checked that and it seemed to make little difference with or without.

Conclusion: The I-10 was the better camera and Sue is going back to practice more with it and see if it suits her in terms on handling. We suspect that it being smaller didn't help in holding it steady and a different grip may be needed.
