My father-in-law's new camera

My father-in-law's camera packed it in. I did a bit of shopping, and determined that the Fuji A610 looked like a capable and no-nonsense model. It's a reasonably inexpensive and trivially easy-to-use model with a good-quality lens and a modern sensor.

He's enjoying it, and I've seen some impressive results. The quality of the images actually exceeds my expectations.

Well done, Fuji.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
