My Life's Ingredients

After BIL's camera was giving up on me middle of February (zapping Batteries like there's no tomorrow!) I first decided to get my mobile contract changed to the LG Renoir (with a 8mp camera) but DH decided against it (it's his contract afterall... and I really don't NEED all the stuff the £25 would give me - only a GPS (for geocaching? Not sure if they work for that) and apart from that it would be £10 more than my current contract!! ). So when we got the offers flyer from Aldi for this week we found this... However, that is only coming out on Thursday ... and I just wanted a new small camera NOW!! (you know how that works!! ;) ) And then I found this: Available there and then! And while I am not the girly girl I quite liked the Butterfly. :) And it's probably the only "bling" DH is going to buy me. ;) It's really slimline, got "smile recognition" (i.e. it takes 3 photos as soon as it recognises a smile!) and it does focus on max 5 faces in...

One of "my" players, "Tigger", has given me his Fujifilm Finepix 6900 Zoom. Don't even know if it's for "keeps" or just lend, will ask him on Sunday. Since I am 21 I only have Canon cameras, bought my first SLR for my 21st birthday, a Canon EOS5000, and DH bought me my new Canon EOS350D for Christmas/Birthday 2005. Haven't had any non-SLRs for over 12 years and just don't have a CLUE about that Fujifilm one. For starts ... it's not using CF cards , so will have to look into this. If any of my readers know this camera and can give me some feedback that would be much appreciated. One thing I have to say - it's lighter and more compact than my EOS350D. Easier to take on holiday maybe? And it does do Video recording as well... I think... :)
