I like - they are totally relaxed and not concerned at your presence .

Very true - but they are a tad large to go in your pocket

I'm glad you agree re fugly - I got it from my GodPapa , who in his turn got it from a Cycling forum .

Of course the one problem I have is that the lucky recipient of this camera [ and I've now got a window with 6 tabs of cameras for Isobel to look at tonight ] doesn't actually have a Computer !!



his son does though

Barrie - that's fugly

OK - if he's going for a camera , let it be a thing of beauty

The WG10 may be everything proof - but ....

Sorry about that Barrie - was just a sort of grumble from me - the non-expert being asked to advise on a camera for a total n00b - and I'm really not much better than that either .

Stan - that's a really bright idea - had been wondering about a bridge

Well - this seems to be sinking

Looks as if tonight I'll be helping my friend pick a wee camera for her hubby .

He's got MUCH bigger hands than me [ so something as small as the P70 is out ] , never had a camera before [ enjoyed playing with the P70 ] , I think a fixed lens is what he needs , can't see him going in for lens swapping at all - he wants to be able to pick it up and press a button - his words not mine.

This is going to be fun - oh and budget is about £200 max .

Stan - that was a really good day for you

Congratulations on all the events

Gwyn - what a wicked thought

Yup - it did cross my mind , I'll admit that

Oh flipping heck !

I've just landed myself with a job .

Lent my P70 to a very nice neighbour she she could take photos of her grandchild's B-day party - not one in the family has a camera !!

They were thrilled with the results they got and I've just had a phone call on a perfectly terrible line saying Isobel wants to buy one as a Christmas Pressie for someone [ her husband I ~think ~.

The question was where could she buy one !!!!!!!

What have I got myself into ?

I've told her to give me a ballpark idea as to what she wants to spend and I'll then go from there .

Oh that last one made me laugh
