Early Weather App ! It seems to have a recording system connected to it,. I remember as a kid a hell of a lot of people had these but they seem a bit rare now. I had some real difficulty with this because of the back lighting.

Every time I come across this camera I think/do exactly the same thing, I think I wonder how good the zoom is ! I charge up some AA batteries and give it a go then think , I should use that more but it never happens !

The camera was brought when I first got into photography seriously, I started with film which I still like today but have always struggle with the idea of using film with all it's costs and then converting to digital anyway. This camera was hardley used as I continued with film for some time and then brought myself a Sony a6000.

The cheap superzoom camera ( photo from my old,budget battered smart phone.




Pay attention to the orange blob in the centre !


Optical zoom not quite all the way, I think with a tripod I could read the engine label but it is really hard to hold it steady. Full zoom is quite a bit more. I have also had to reduce quality more on the close up shot in order to get it under the 500k limit !



I don't think it is too bad considering it was a £99 camera ! If it had an EVF or optical view finder I would definately use it a lot more. I may look for something second hand that does have one.

Afternoon visitor to the bird feeder.

The best I could do with the Superzoom, Almost there ! The leg fell off my charity shop tripod ( I've had it years) so this ended up propped up and even using the timer I could still see the camera moving due to movement in the floor boards.
