A new week, a new gallery, a new camera…
It’s not my camera, it’s one we bought for use in the office (taking photos of whiteboard sessions etc). It’s a Fuji FinePix S6500fd and I quite like it. It’s somewhere between a digital compact and a low end DSLR. It will do everything from full manual (including focusing, shutter speed, aperture) to full auto. The physical interface to all the controls feels natural, and the focusing ring on the lens is a nice touch.
It’s got a few features missing which I think would probably stop me buying one for myself (Lack of cable release, hotshoe and a few other things) so I don’t think it’s going to put me off my goal of “buy a Nikon D80 after Christmas”
Its not too bad at macro stuff, and this is the chalkboard todo list in my kitchen. I need more clocks, everyone should have more clocks.
