Technical Test Thread

That's a great price Wendy. I have a Sony Cybershot HX100V myself and love it.

Thanks Chloe - mind you it is coming from Bangkok so must check shipping/tax and I'm getting tied up in knots checking gear guide peoples recommendation of Lumixfz150 but its £100 + dearer and not sure I can afford it!

No idea - was going to investigate but have found another called 'Simply Electronics' and they are here and only £3 more so have asked for a bundle price from them - know what you mean - was suspicious but there are lots of sales deals at mo.  Thanks for your concern doggie and I haven't committed myself yet or parted with any money.  Unfortunately I am not in the price market for a lumix fz150!!

Wendy, will you please let me know how you get on with it as I am not in the price market for a lumiz fz150 but need a decent camera.  I am a total novice so do not want anything too expensive to start with.

Hi B&B haven't ordered anything yet but of course will keep in touch if I do - I am fairly new to digital & zoom - my current Fuji has 5xzoom but nowhere near strong enough to catch ketrels and birds in general  - quite fancy this canon though and am waiting for a price bundle because, of course, need to have a case & sandisk card and they are extras!!!

doggie - you shall be the first to share any new pics of course!!!

did you notice my avatar doggie - sweated blood over that and it's still not right!!  Instructions which say 90x90 pixels means the pic is way too small so had to experiment but had wrong shaped pic to begin with so have to play some more - one day!!!

That's really kind of you doggie - the reason I used the one I did was that it was a pic I captured of the parent of current chick on Sumburgh Head puffincam and I was proud of it 'cos it had always been asleep before when underground with chick!

Unfortunately I saved it after re-sizing instead of copying so I couldn't restore the original - should be wearing  'L' plates!!

I did!
