Its THIS one.

edit: Oh gawd.. I hadn't googled it before.. Quite a hand me down

how many pepper grinders and chopping blocks am I gonna have to dish out to make up for that!?

Wow, very nice hand-me-down.

ah.. I thought the thread had vanished.
That will teach me to use a new camera as an excuse for tool .

I'll be more blatant in future.

Well! I have a new Fuji and I love it. As a retired photographer, it
does everything I ever wanted.

What model and how old was your Fuji Block?

Hi papa. The old fuji is an S3500, I bought it when I had my first baby a bit over 3 years ago for happy snaps.
The biggest problem I had with it was that the only way you could get a decent photo was to use the flash or have it on a solid tripod. Not what you want for happy snaps of the kids day to day. Anything less than full sunlight would bring it to its knees.
It was great for still shots of well lit inanimate objects for ebay photos or the like.

Playing with the sony (I think this one is at least 5years old) for a couple of days now.. I chased the little boy around the house on a dull day snapping away without paying much attention and blow me down I have a memory card full of in focus crisp photos.

All I have to do now is to remember to wipe the little buggers nose before a repeat performance

Something I like about the sony compared to the juji (and I hope this makes sense) is that the sony seems to put the subject clearly in focus and the background out of fucus where as the fuji seemed to try to focus on everything at once.. is that called depth of feild? I dunno but it always annoyed me.

The photo of your model looks a lot better than mine.. I'd think things may have come along a little in the last few years.

Thanks for your reply, I did some research on the S3500, the big
draw back is the ISO it preset at 100 and not adjustable. It is like having
"slow film" all the time. Hence the need for flash on most shots.

The newer ones will get a shot in almost total darkness without a
flash.

Depth of field is from using a fast shutter and a wide aperture

Glad you are enjoying your new toy, hope to see some great shots.

For a better understanding of all this, here is a site you might get
something from:

That would make sense.
