Just bought a bridge camera



  tiTTy & SV650
I've just bought a Fuji Finepix s1900 super zoom camera to see how I take to photography, didn't want to go all out and get an expensive DSLR just yet.

So far I'm impressed it's got manual settings to get the hang of and I've discovered I can get filters / wide angle lenses etc for it too.

I shall report back with some pics for advice in the near future.

Went for a couple of days driving and took lots of pics, sadly the weather was pretty poor.

I didn't have a tripod either, due to the breath taking views I took loads of panoramic shots:

Unsure if this is a wreck or not:

Playing about in low light with it earlier on aperture priority, pretty happy with the results. Looking forward to guy fawkes night to mess about with it.

I like the panoramas you have there. Nice.

You happy with it then? I had the s9500 a couple of years ago, like you, bought it before plunging in to the DSLR market.
Now have Nikon D80 and few lenses - wouldn't be without it.

Cheers, yeah its teaching me the basics and the pictures it can produce are of a good quality. I'm happy with it, no doubt one day I'll go for a DSLR but more than happy with this for the £120 I paid.

Bought a gorillapod today too, off to Williams F1 next Sunday so hope to put it to good use looking at the private collection of Williams F1 cars

Sounds good. :cool:
Is this an invite thing or can you go to Williams F1 whenever and just pay and go in?

They host race days, pay £100 to be catered for drive an f1 simulator, watch the Brazilian GP in this instance on big screen with feeds from the pits and guests like Jackie Stewart conference calling us, something different!
