Cheers matey, thats what I call service, Will pop along and look at one in the flesh.

On a different note, the reflection of your camera looks like an ixus 700, thinking of getting the new model for the wife as mine isnt really handbag sized, any complaints about it, or you happy?

How the hell could you work that out from those photos!

You are correct though.  As a point and snap camera, its hard to fault. Doesn't have as many adjustments as more pro cameras, but is convenient and small. Had it since they first came out, and think it does just what it says on the box, though I am not a real photographer.  And if its for the missus, Mrs TheBoy has no trouble using it...

lol, just picturing you peering into the photo looking for a reflection!

I've a bit of software (Opanda Iexif) that shows the techy info from photos (photography being my other hobby).

Liked the quality of yours so looked what the camera was, shiny metal confuses so many cheaper cameras, metallic shine can go very purple.

thanks again

Youve listed all the important bits about the camera, exactly what the mrs wants, small, quick, easy, great for shots of the kids.

That's a pretty trick piece of software (just downloaded it). Had a look at the pics I posted at Santa Pod & it told me the make & model of my phone too!

LOL, I did  

Forgot it would be stored in the Exif data.

Yeah, great little camera for the masses, not enough settings for a photographer.

The question I always have about digital cameras is 'how soon after pressing the button does it take the dam photo'?

I note that the kit has a limited range of Torx sockets i.e. none that would turn the crank during a cambelt change so it might be worth adding at least that.

E20 ain't it?

[TheBoy]

Ah yes, E20 is only 3/8 drive...

I keep a 1/4 E20 in my camlock kit...

So digital camers actualy produce a EXIF file which is a jpeg with image detail header....hence it knows what camera you used because your camera added the details to the file when it took it.....!!!

The programme simply extracts the details from the header....

I hope you actualy use a 1/2inch drive one and not 1/4inch.......3/8 should be ok

Bloody fingers. You know what I meant....

As with most autofocus cameras, prefocus first, then take piccy if you are trying to get action shot...

Yes but, the active matrix read and processing can still take a second or so which can often mean the image has changed and the moment has gone by the time the image is captured....its my biggest gripe with cameras and why I still use my superb SLR for many shots.
