Impulse purchase. Just waiting for the battery to charge up.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I love the chunky solid feel of it, as well as the fact that a lot of settings are on dials rather than fiddly menus. Hope it's as well built as my Traser!  :grin:

Is that Canon G12 small enough to carry around in a pocket, Jaz?

I'd say it's as big as the old 35mm compact cameras you used to be able to buy. Too big for a jeans pocket but will easily fit in a jacket pocket.

I'd say the Fuji x100 is much more up your alley, RR:









I'd have gone for it if had a zoom lens.

....Sounds like it would fit in trouser's 'thigh' pocket  :happy2:

I considered the Fuji X100 but can't remember why I thought no.

You now need to buy a Mac and Aperture 3:  http://store.apple.com/uk-business/browse/home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/aperture_accessories?mco=MjE5MjU5NjQ

It was released fairly recently, around Sept 2010, after you bought the 200EXR.

Other than the iPhone, I decline to buy any apple products. I'm happy with my current lappy if it'll handle RAW.

Well said Stealth. I doubt an iMac and any software you care to mention will help you TAKE better pictures.  :wink:

I want to get back into photography, but didn't want the expense and outlay of a dSLR which is why I went for the G12. I've got a week off so will spend some time learning to use the camera. I will have to check what my laptop is capable of these days - it's about six years old but happily runs PSP9 and whatever version of Photoshop was around then. Think PSP9 had limited RAW support but will have to look it up.
