yesterday i took 150 + shots, there was so much going on in the sky, really 'weathering' as a friend of mine used to say.

then my camera died today, talk about the sunset effect!

it was a samsung techwin digimax S1000/kenox 10.1 mb, and i really liked it, though i hadn't got that deep into what it can do yet.

i'm uncertain whether to get another like it, or go for the 12.0 mb cameras that have come out since.

since most of what i try to capture is light effects, and i'm a complete dummy with manuals, i'd pay a bit more to have quality, but don't really need bells and whistles i probably get around to using.

any suggestions in the €2-300 range, anyone?

such a wonderful last day, though...

i had just mounted paddy today to go ride and two falcons started circling above me, quite low. i turned on the camera to grab some shots and it just lights up for a second then beeps at me, and the lens stays out.

gaah

You're sure it's dead?

i think the beep is coming from beyond!

it's moribund, there are flickers of response, but after 2 secs it dies. and yes i tried two fresh sets of batteries.

it's odd, because the lens cap had been jamming for a couple of months, i'd have to tap it for it to fully open, then i dropped it the other day, (first time), and the lenscap worked again.

2 more days of normal life then this...

RIP

I assume you changed the batteries.
