New Toys

Pete · 02-05-2003, 07:00 PM

Just bought a new camera. I think it will take a while to sort out all the functions. At least some of the features are familiar because I use Canon SLRs.

What new toys have you bought?

super_fish88 · 02-05-2003, 07:22 PM

I've not bought it yet but i'm getting a new phone tomorrow because i can get an upgrade, yay!

I got a digital camera for Christmas and I take it eeeeverywhere! It's not as posh as yours tho pete it's a fujifilm 204 I think. It's really easy to put the pictures onto the computer and I've managed to get some good swimmingy ones!

It's not the camera that takes a good picture but the person behind it. You can take great pictures with a very basic camera. A great camera is a waste of money if the person has no eye for composition. A good camera can enhance the skill of a good photographer. Some of my best photos have been taken with my auto everything cheap compact.

I definatwly want a digital camera I'm sick of paying a fortune to get my film developed and then if they're good pictures it's even dearer to get copies.

nsswimmer · 03-05-2003, 01:52 PM

hey dreama, try keeping it in your pocket and setting it to vibrate.. it'll definitely help you pick up! =)

matt · 04-05-2003, 10:55 AM

Or instead of putting it on vibrate, why not put it in a box, seal it up and send it over to me.

Dreama · 04-05-2003, 02:09 PM

not easy to get things in and out of pockets when sat in the car, even when not driving!

super_fish88 · 10-06-2003, 08:16 PM

Wahey

I'm so happy!! I've got a new toy, Broadband!

I've just downloaded the newest version of Internet Explorer and instead of taking about 4 hours like it would of done with my modem it's taken about 2 minutes!!

Linny · 10-06-2003, 09:26 PM

Your obviously not from the back of beyond then superfish. I can only dream about broadband. I have only been on mains water for 5 years or so and have an LPG tank in the garden as the gas main is many miles away.

super_fish88 · 10-06-2003, 09:30 PM

Oh well, as long as you can still come on SwimClub it's OK though!
