I'm still trying to decide between the S5600, the S5700 or the S6500.

QVC were offering it as a TSV (Today's Special Value) last Saturday for £199 (payable over two months). It came with a leather case, a 512Mb xD card, 4 NiMh AA batteries and rapid charger. I've seen the camera alone on offer for £150-£200, Fuji are doing a good bundle for £240.

All of these were taken with it too:

Look forward to seeing your latest pictures.

The Fuji is my third digital camera and probably my twelfth camera altogether. I started with a Kodak Instamatic (127 film type) progressed through the Zenit E to an Olympus OM10 then onto the digital cameras.

It pays to carry your camera with you, I spotted this car this morning.

Not a great deal of difference between it and the S5700 by the looks of it, you do get the face recognition facility which could be useful. I must say I'm impressed with Fuji cameras, especially the lenses. I can't see me ever using my bag full of Olympus OM gear again, this camera does it all.

Hope you packed your butties and a few tins of Stella, not much in the way of in-flight catering service on those freighters :)

Good lens that one, I have one myself. I also have the 24-105L with IS...which is something special too!

The best thing about digital cameras is NO FILM. Shoot dozens of images of the the same scene with different setting to get a feel of the camera's abilities.

The camera saves its settings as part of the jpg (EXIF), most photo programs can display that information (see pic). This is very useful when you're comparing shots, you can see which settings are giving you the images you want.

DW

There's a nice little extension for Firefox that lets you view the EXIF data of a photo. Just right click on it and choose Properties, the EXIF data is included.

You can get it here.

Doesn't work on forum attachments but it's fine for image hosting sites...

Excellent stuff :tu: L lenses well worth the price difference imho. Was looking at that 24-105 you've got but went for the EF17-40 F4L for the extra width

Freeware Photo recovery tool:

http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

"PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from Hard Disks and CDRom and lost pictures (thus, its 'Photo Recovery' name) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media's filesystem has been severely damaged or re-formatted."
