What we REALLY got is NOT going back!!

It's mine ALL mine!!! and I'm all excited!!

Ooooo, amazon goodies! What did you get?!

A new

(I wish I could afford a DSLR but have settled for an upgrade on my)

DIGITAL CAMERA.

Fujifilm all singing all dancing whatsit and I'm settling in for a spot of reading (the manual) and then a play,

I'm going to Ragley Hall Saturday and I'm praying the memory card gets here in time....It has a 32mb card with it but thats nothing, I have 1gb on order!!

expecring a huge amount of post soon then...look forward to the pics :-)

Wooooo!

New cameras are so much fun!!

*fingers crossed* the card gets there on time!

kids and boxes, boxes and kids, 'twas ever thus, and may it ever remain so! new camera eh? niice!

boxes are the best toys ever!!!

how exciting! What model did ya get?

And close lid and send kid back while he is small enough to fit in a box

S6500, I did consider the next model up but it only had an extra 1.3mp and a couple of extra ISO settings for an extra £185.

So I stayed at the S6500. I really really really want a Nikon D series but I just can't afford it and just couldn't justify spending that sort of money to upgrade from the camera I was using (6year old 3mp Kodak easyshare).

So I went for the middle ground a higher spec digital cam minus the SLR and maybe look at getting a DSLR at a later date!

good choice for sure, but have you seen the advertising tagline for it - "It can't wait to see your face" - who the f**k thought that one up?

Cool, new toys are always fun. And box crushing is a new extreme sport ;)
