The less publicised aspect of higher spec cameras is that they can make it far easier to take lousy photographs! At lunch time I went down to watch the launch of a conversion from Norwegian naval vessel to luxury yacht. In most of my shots the pale grey hull and white upper works both took on a blue cast; as seen when I loaded them onto this machine. Thinks,"must check white ballance next time"!.

All this talk of cameras prompts me to ask - my humble device is a Kodak high spec fixed lens 12:1 optical zoom unit - pretty fast and good - 7 Mpix, but not to your standard. However, I would dearly love to be able to turn off the autofocus and have a fixed focus at infinity for some shots. Quite a number of my Fairford shots are blurred because the AF was interfering - shots I could have got crisply with my old Spotmatic and its humble 200mm lens. Is there usually a way with Digital cameras to do this? I know - you're going to tell me you can with yours but I can't with mine! Grr. Peter
