Went for a few drinks after work, went home, had tea, went to mates house and drank until the early hours, went home, slept...

...nothing special

If you don't like random or obscure threads, you shouldnt be in the Wasteland forum

It doesnt matter if theres already an active thread about this. If someone came up to you in the street one day and said "Hi, how are you?" you wouldnt say "Sorry, someones already asked me this today"

Grow up

Was anyone else at the No Quarter gig in Drummonds last night? What a show! Aint enjoyed a gig like that in a while

Or you could be going at it with the press with your lady in the same room ...

Im not saying they are different. However, try going into the shop and asking.

You might want to try R&B as well

I knew it lol

I started off doing the GSVQ thing. folk who were in my class were Craig Dragoonis, Angela Topp, Julie something or other etc lol. I took a year out after that but when I came back (HNC) I was in Ellies class, not sure if you know her but I started a band with her and your mate jamie a few years back but it kinda just fizzled out so to speak....

Where abouts did you study photography? Was it at Aberdeen college? Im sure I used to see you going around at the same time I was there. Could be wrong though

I studied there from 1999-2001

Yep I know the 20D well lol. Its an amazing camera, if I had the money I would get one but ill stick with my EOS3 for now hehe. Or maybe wait until someone trades in a 10D.

The names Craig

Glad I could help yi lol

Our current price is 379.90 although I could possibly get it down to around 280. I would need to check first with my head office

The Olympus C765 is a good camera. 10 x optical zoom covers pretty much all the focal lengths you'll need. The start-up time is a bit slow however - takes a few seconds to 'fire up' but that personally doesnt bother me. In terms of the battery life - same battery as the Mju 410. The camera also has full manual control i.e. shutter and aperture priority etc. So if you dont want to spend at least 680 for a DSLR then the Olymous C765 is a good choice all in all.

Im sure Ive managed to get the price of it down to around 180 in the past - although Im not 100% sure. Other cameras you might want to check out are:

Fuji Finepix S5500

Canon Powershot S1 IS ( I have one of these )

Olymous C770 (if you want it to take an external flash gun )

Hope this helps

The Mju 410 is a good camera if your looking for something thats small and easy to use. As Ross says it really depends what you need the camera for. Its a great camera for general use is the Mju 410.

We are selling it for 219 but you get 2 memory cards and a case included in the price which I dont believe you get with macro.

In terms of battery life, the Mju410 uses a lithium Ion battery so it lasts a fair while. and the metal casing means its a pretty solid camera. As far as picture quality goes - superb up to a4

Regards,

Craig.

Right,

It depends on the print size your wanting to do. the general rule of thumb is 4million pixels if you want to prints anything up to A4, 5million pixels if you want bigger etc etc...

Some models off the top of my head would be:

Olympus C50 (5MP, 3 X optical zoom + manual modes i.e. shutter and aperture priority)

199.90

Fuji F700 (6M recorded pixles, 3 x optical zoom, easier to use than the olympus)

199.90

or if you want something with a larger zoom AND good pixel count, then your looking at the Olympus C770, or maybe the Fuji F7000 (10 X optical zoom)

Although I cant remember the prices of these two.

p.s. I work in Jessops

Feel free to come into the shop for some demos etc...

Oh yeah, we can usualy match internet prices anyway,

Hope this cleared it up a bit LOL

Cheers,

Craig

sounds shit hot man!!!!

LOL never abuse a Photo lab supervisor. He or she (in this case he) may 'accidentally' fog your holiday photos OR 'accidentally' scratch your negatives

OR both

Ohhhh yeah I agree, that IS a nice lookin guitar

Im also quite partial to a Flying V

I was born on the day 'Eye of the tiger' went to #1

Ohhhh yes

(I know, wrong thread)

Exactly, staff who get pissed off becasue you want to return something - should not be working in a shop - end of.

Yeah Im down in Jessops, and we get some real nasty images through the processor sometimes...

One time this forensic doctor handed in what he thought were his holiday photos, instead they were photos of dead people

Today a guy came into my work to drop off a film for 1 hour processing. He returned 30 minutes later and went mental because they weren't ready !!!

When I politely explained that they wouldn't be ready for at least another 15 minutes and that I would try and print them ASAP, he snapped and started throwing things around the shop!!

What the fuck is the point on that?

And to top it off, my boss tried to calm him down by offering him a REFUND !!!!!!!

For those of you who work in a customer service environment, you'll no doubt agree with me that sometimes the general public can be complete bastards

Has anyone else here had any bad experiences with twat customers?

Sorry, had to get this one off my chest LOL

Cheers,

Craig.
