Fragrant Gardenias

So lovely to sit at night in summer and smell the sweet fragrance of gardenias wafting through the window from my balcony.  Before that it was the jasmine.  Somehow I seem to love white perfumed plants growing all around me and then roses.  Put some blossoms in your life to lift your spirits.

Simple Pleasures

Just like this Japanese snow monkey, we need to sit in hot springs and relax.  Don't you just love the look on his face?
I've been researching these monkeys so I can draw and paint them in my Children's Book Illustration course.

Tea for Two

Here is some of the interesting fare had by my friend Fiona and I when we went to High Tea.  The date was last Thursday at the Observatory Hotel (The Globe Bar) in Kent St.  So nice to do things like this.

An interesting title

You normally get book about wars or mistresses, but the inner workings of a famous person is not so common.

Blast from the past

Really enjoying the modern version of Sherlock.  He really is a willful character.

Summary:

This is an older model now, but still working very well. It's compact size is a bonus for travelling and it does a good clear picture. There is also room for a short video as well.

The 4 x zoom function is also great for those little details you want to get close to, and the flash works well.

There is a good sized viewer at the back (1.5" = 3.81cm) LCD so you aren't guessing where the shot boundaries are or squinting to see the image you are taking.

I like the option of screwing in a little tripod to take pictures with you in it on the timed function or to steady the shot.

Memory - is limited on the camera itself - up to 20 shots - but also has slot for memory card which you can transfer the shots onto as you go.

Once you have learned how to navigate the different functions this camera is fairly friendly. It is hard to accidentally delete shots, which is good. I have done that before and since I use this camera for travel there isn't the opportunity to go back and take it again.

I can't comment on the price as it was a gift, but I understand it was quite reasonable. The main advantage is its size. I can put it in my pocket and it fits in the palm of my hand or easily in my shoulder bag.

Mainly I use this camera for travel and for pictures to post on my blog - you can see there the quality is fine.

Strengths:
Size - compact and good for travel
Good sized LCD viewer
Reasonable price
Working perfectly after 8 years or so

Weaknesses:
Older model - may not be in production anymore
Limited memory on camera itself - but has card slot for exanded memory

Customer Service:
Haven't needed any so far
