Something for the weekend…

I think I got a simaller Camera, its not as good as a SLR ,but it is a FUJI FinePix S6500 fd digi cam,

I used it at Kemble air day this year, and i dont think i could have got better for the money about £150, the Movie part on it really suprised me with the sound qaulity,
the only thing that i did find hard was its ZOOM , its quite good, but not brilliant, But i managed to get some good shots with it, when there was a flypast, ,when i got home i had to zoom in on the pic, to as much as i could to get the detail, but trying to photograph a fast jet at full chat was very hard and also at any sort of distance,

I was very pleased with what i had got anyway even if it wasnt a SLR

Thanks for all the advice on camera’s in the Photography section guys.

I’ve bought a Fuji S5700, which is not quite as advanced as a DSLR, but has loads more features than a compact. And it was only £99 new from Currys!

All I need is somewhere to test it…Anyone got any ideas for tomorrow, preferably with some flying warbirds. Not Duxford though, going there next week

Any ideas?

That’s the same as mine, not a bad bit of kit, the “movie” feature is very good, great sound capture, i’m a bit gutted though as I paid £129.99 for mine lol :D:p

Why not try Wolverhampton Intergalactic Business Spaceport or whatever Halfpenny Green is called these days. A pound to park and you can walk down and stand in front of the tower if you follow the marked path. No Warbirds as far as I know but plenty of Spam if the weather’s good, which I suspect it won’t be.

If you want to practice panning and getting used to the shutter lag on your camera go to BHX and pay a fortune for parking with NO facilities or go to the Midland Air Museum at Coventry and a trip round to the end of the airfield. There’s usually something flying.

What with shelling out nearly £80 on tickets for Legends, I’d rather not blow another 40 on Waddington!

Something free would be ideal, if that isn’t stating the bleeding obvious.

Waddington?
