I was almost on the point of buying a Fuji S7000 compact last week, but after looking at a digital camera magazine, decided to hang off for a bit. It seems SLR’s are coming down in price and the image resolution is going up all the time. I’m now considering waiting until next year to see whats affordable then.
Given the choice, would the seasoned experts on this thread always advise an SLR? Apart from interchangeability of lenses, what are the advantages? I’d welcome advice.

Saw it.
No surprises.

Well, I’d just like to add-as no-one else has-that I’m pleased to hear things are moving forward.
Ive never seen so much carping about getting an aeroplane back into the air.

Its dreadful.
Its bad enough trying to make out central Scotland-I can imagine what folks up in Orkney or Shetland think about it.
And-since when did our country turn brown? Whats all that about?

I forgot, another Time Team one to look out for was the excavation of 2 USAAF A25 Invaders near Liverpool, shown a few months ago, seemed to cause a bit of contraversy on these pages, but a good programme.

They did one a while back on 2 B-17’s.If memory serves, they came up with a throat mike, some other cockpit bits and pieces, and a prop.

Paul.
Thanks for the info.
I’ll follow that up.

Tremendous work Paul.
