My new Camera

Well - Dad will be pleased. I can finally leave the good old Sony Digital camera at home with him. Ever since I've moved out, the camera has spent almost all it's time in Devonport with me. And it's been annoying my parents, as they havent had the camera (which they own).

So I've gone out and bought myself one. It's a Fujifilm S6500 - and has manual zoom and focus and things, which is exactly what I wanted. It does have auto focus and things too of course, but when I want to do fiddley stuff, I can use the manual mode.

Cost me a bit mind you - but that's ok. I use a camera very regularly (mainly for this site) so it'll be a decent investment (I hope).

And some other great news.

Firstly, Klutz is back working on the gallery script. So my new website should have a gallery.

And even better - I finally managed to talk to the guy in charge of www.illusionfxnet.com (my old web host) and he has allowed me to transfer my last 2 domains (Overlordofharmony and apostlesofm) so I'm happy. I plan to move them to godaddy shortly, so they'll all be in the same place.

Anyway - I'm off to build this Netvista for Turkey. Hopefully it wont explode.

Talk to you soon.

Ah, the faithful old mule has finally returned home to its master. It was a good steed too. Definitely served the site well.

The question is, is your new camera an SLR? By the sound of it, it is, but I´m not sure. Or did you mention this and I just missed it?

And I´m hoping my new computer won´t go bang either!

Actually, no it´s not an SLR - but its about as close as you can get without actually getting an SLR. To get an SLR that can do the same sort of stuff - it´s about 3 times the price. But, of course, it would be able to do it better.

And your PC hasnt blown up yet. I´ve got the OS install started and it´s all looking good.

This is good news. I am certainly looking forward to getting this all working!

Pity about the SLR, but you are probably very right in saying it would be stacks more expensive. But having used an expensive SLR before, if you like taking photos they are so worth the money. That is my opinion!
