"feels lovely"???? At a cost of £800 or so, it bloody well ought to. Does it do massages as well, run the bath, make nice cups of tea? At that price it ought to, IMO, as well as 'feeling lovely'.

You know it's really irritating to have people raise the bar like that. I'm meant to be the funny and cool one on this site! I've been trying to think of some really witty rejoinder for days now and thoughts escape me. Grrrrrr

Keep up the good work!

I forgot to ask, does it take good pictures as well? I mean, there's no point having a camera that makes a really nice, hot cup of tea, first thing in the morning n'all, if it's deficient when it comes to stalking rabbits or *those* photos that you and the missus take, y'know, in bed, which you publish on *that* web site???

Criminy, have I said too much now?

If you load them images from the camera, rather than the card, it'll rotate them.

Thanks for the tip.

I think I just copied them straight off the camera when it was mapped as a disk (rather than using the Microsoft photo wizard thing). Obviously I'll have to study the manual more when I can finally afford one of my own.

Strange! I have a tiny Nikon Coolpix S5 which apparantly does have the rotation sensor. Cause when I view the pictures on the camera I get to view them all without having to tilt my head, but when I uploaded them onto the computer with the wizard thingy, I had to rotate them manually. It hardly seems worth it, if one has to do it anyway, eyh?

I did however take some cool photos of Stirling last week using Underexposure which turned out good. It was late in the evening and there was a gloomy, mystical setting over Stirling as seen from the deserted castle. But with my compact camera it seemed hard to get a dark picture when I actually wanted one. The week before, when I tried to capture a bride, all in white, walking down the aisle, it was hopeless to get anything but darkness. This week it was insisting on capturing lots of light, making the roofs of the buildings much brighter than they really were. So I then started playing with the Exposure settings, and noticed how I that way managed to get some very cozy shots.
