Sunset trees taken with my Samsung camera. People sometimes ask me what camera I use. Most of the images on this blog are taken on a digital camera. They were taken on a Samsung Digimax V4. This is a 4 million pixel camera which I bought a few years ago now. What I liked about it was that it had lots of manual override functions, so I could change expose, aperture or shutter speeds if I wished to. It also had a moderate optical zoom. I find digital zoom to be a waste of time. I have just upgraded my camera to a Ricoh Caplio R7. This is a very neat, small compact camera. Again, I liked its range of manual override features. It gives an 8 million pixel image, so this is twice the definition of my old camera. Also, it has a great optical zoom range, an equivalent 28mm-200mm zoom on a 35mm camera. I like the good wide angle since I mainly take landscape shote, but the good zoom range means that I can get up closer when I need to. It uses a lithium-ion battery which lasts quite a while and is neat and compact. My old Samsung used AA batteries but drained them very quickly. My new camera is proving very satisfactory, though I have to be careful on telephoto shots as the focus takes a few moments to adjust.
