I bought my first ever camera a couple of years ago - Fuji 2Mp thing - I was well chuffed at the time - macro etc... some cool pictutres - I thought I was gonna be using it for work etc... carry it round with me and snap interesting brickwork textures etc ...
Didn't happen.
Only thing I use it for is taking snapshots of my son during the holidays.
You can get twice the camera at half the cost now ... so I might get something else in the New Year ??
