Up Front: The Up-Front Guides: The…, in reply to Kracklite,
I try at least to assume that people who think differently from me are not always fools or swine
Well said; but I make the exception for outright bigots.

Somehow I went from the Only Ones, to John Peel's Festive Fifty to this, which is new to me, and I liked it. Mainly for the drumming. That formerly dark-and-dangerous looker in the Scotland shirt is a cautionary tale:

Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to David Hood,
Mainly because most of the Canon Point and Shoots you can add the CHDK firmware to the SD card and get the camera to do all kinds of things normally impossible in a model of its price range.
Now there is something I will investigate; I had no idea I could 'pimp my camera'. thanks.

Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Lilith __,
Back to cameras after going a round with EQC and Fletchers today (went well I think) .... I like that shop too! Bought the Fuji there, and I can see why they recommended it, but it doesn't "speak" to me like the Canon and my old Nikon. Do you think different brands produce different colour tones?

Mmmm. that G12 looks alluring too....this time I will be patient. I will go shopping without my plastic.

Nora, Thanks. I have been eyeing the Lumixes, then got seduced by Leica (which breaks the budget). That red dot....

These Capture threads are wonderful escapes (eg from this morning's fog), and I'm in awe of the photographers' eyes and talents. I am getting severe cases of camera envy -- reduced to prowling the net sightseeing. Has anyone a recommendation for a digital compact with excellent picture quality, manual functions, a good zoom with a 24mm wide-angle, a rangefinder and a metal body?
I mourn my Canon S70; it was most things I wanted in a camera and small enough to take everywhere. The Fuji F500 I bought in haste just doesn't feel right, and I don't think the pictures are near as good. Or is it me?

Hard News: Christchurch: Is "quite good"…, in reply to Joe Wylie,
I'm told the smart money in Christchurch is going into beers, burgers, brothels and building.

Hard News: Christchurch: Is "quite good"…, in reply to Sacha,
To be fair, it's a huge job
Being an army of occupation usually is.

The question I have is how to get rid of Peter bloody Dunne and never allow the likes of him back. If the Nats didn't give him the spurious "credibility" of a minsterial portfolio, Ohariu voters would have deserted him years ago. As it is, they are smart enough to know that they will have a voice at the top table if they vote for Dunne.
