Never knew this thread was going on. I'm sorry I didn't answer to it in time
I will try to make up for it now. I am also sorry for bringing this thread up again but I feel I need to answer these posts
Andrew: I agree it's no big thing, but it was a bargain price so I took the opportunity to buy it. It soon became unsufficient for my needs so it now lies in a drawer being taken out for the occasional family snapshots. I am working on a photo section of my site so I will probably try and experiment again.
Limbo: Yes my camera does allow for
some control over shutterspeed and aperture, but not too much, there are some presets you can choose from. The focus can be set manually, too.
Transmogrify: No I bought the camera earlier, it was paid for from my Easter bonus. The missus got some gold jewelery as a wedding present, I got nothing
Thanks for the comments.
BaconWaffle: Overall I find the macro function pretty satisfactory, but I'm no photographer. All I can say is that images generally look good. Especially the outdoors ones.
Jun Hu: I'm glad your camera works well.
My apologies again people for the late replies.
