A friend lent me his iPhone 14 pro max for a day and the picture quality is quite good, so one of those has been ordered to replace my aging iPhone 6s, The 6s has reasonable if not exactly brilliant picture quality handy to keep in the jacket pocket for those rare days I forget to pick up my...

Thanks for your reply, I do like the Olympus cameras, I still have a C 840L that I used alongside the C-8080 in my working days, and touch wood has never let me down the only issue I had If you can call it that, I mistakenly bought a 32mb smartmedia card that it won't accept! had I read the...

Visited our local Jessops and had a bit of a play with a Canon R10, felt nice to hold.

Another throwaway on Samos, I waited 30min for the insect to take off.

This Forum has got me all nostalgic. I have been trying to find some of my throwaway shots. This one was taken when I was working in Samos, I had two days leave and I sat in this little cafe watching the boats dock, I remember waiting 2hrs for the wind to pick up before the flag unfurled and...

Thanks. List so far R10, Z50, OM‑1, Panasonic G9 One more please.

Just checked out the R10 thanks for the link. I think I will draw up a short list of say 5 possible candidates and go and look at them. R10 being one of them. Keep the recommendations coming please :) What a helpful bunch you are, I have so much catching up to do!

I will check it out, Thank you :)

Thanks for that, I will see if there are any night school classes at our local Uni

I know I will be impressed with a modern camera, but to win competitions with a 1p throwaway camera against mainly professional photographers, I was quite chuffed.:) I know what you mean regarding feel, I was in the states on launch day of the C-8080 as soon as I picked it up it felt just...

Wow thanks for all your reply's I need to do a lot of research Below is a picture of the kit I used to travel the world with during my working days. If you look closely at the centre of the picture, at the two throwaway 24 shot cameras, I bought a job lot of 1000 of them for next to nothing...
