The camera is really complicated, way too many buttons, but I was able to download a pdf manual. It is also heavy, so I will probably have to use a tripod to get good photos indoors, all my shots came out blurry. I also don't see a flash, no idea where that is, have a feeling I have to buy one to mount on top. But for free, I am not complaining, will just have to save up for extras.
I stole this photo off the web, this is what it looks like, reall
y large double lens, which adds to the weight. I couldn't even figure out where the zoom was, guess I have a lot of reading to do;)
I definitely won't be taking this out in the kayak, glad I got the pocket waterproof camera. I think I need to make a sling pocket for it, so when I go hiking at the sanctuaries, I can carry it without the band choking my neck.
This is the best photo I could get today. It is an older piece that I have in the house. The sun has been fading the edge. I did have to put it through photoshop, but I got better and more true colors and this was on a low setting. At least now, you can see more detail and the patterns of the wool, so I hope I can figure this out and get some better shots of my pieces.
Today I worked more on my hexagons, hand stitching the inside of each hexagon, but on the outer edges now, so hopefully I will have it done tomorrow.

WOW that is some camera! Glad you could download the manual. My old camera, I had no idea it had macro, until I found a manual online. I know you're going to enjoy playing with it!
I really love the wool project, the colors and shapes are just marvelous, I bet you take a new pic of everything you've ever made!
That looks like one of my daughter's cameras. Oh boy, that is a pretty piece with the birds, I love the colors.

Very cool!
Now THAT's a serious camera! Have fun experimenting with the settings! The wool applique piece is gorgeous!
It is not as complicated as it looks. I think after a few tries you are going to love it.
great camera! have fun with it!! new project - very nice!
Once you get used to it you will LOVE it! Mine is the Canon S3 Proshot. I'm not sure where the flash is on yours. Mine had a flip up flash. I just bought off of ebay, a telescoptic and wideangle lens and have been playing around with mine. I knew mine could do so much more than i was using it as so i'm determined to learn how to use mine better. Enjoy! And while it is heavy, I've gotten used to it so much that now i can't understand how people use such thin little ones!! LOL
Cool! It is always fun to get a new gadget! :)
Congrats on the new toy Debbie....Good luck figuring things out - but I'm sure you'll have fun. My son bought me my first digital camera (just a little Cyber Shot) a couple of years ago - and I still haven't figured it out. Guess my age is showing....Sigh....Big sigh....
I LOVE that wool piece....gorgeous!!
Happy Tuesday - Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
I have a Canon and I just LOVE it. I would like to get an SLR . . . . someday and then take some classes to learn how to be a good photographer *s* Enjoy!
All those buttons and features intimidate me. I wish I had the patience to learn photography so I could get some good inside shots.
That wool piece is awesome!
Great looking camera!
I love the birds. Gorgeous colours!
