Hi All :)! This is a question purely for my own interest. I've been taking photos for most of my life, starting with grandad's Box Brownie when I was 9 (never had a film in it!) and then I had a Kodak Instamatic for my 11th birthday. I've been a member here for some time and would like to thank...

I forgot to mention (further to my post #42 above), that when I bought my Lumix TZ55 in 2016, three colours were available: silver, black and red. The silver and black models were priced at over £250. The 'red' model (it's not red, it's burgundy!) was £109!! This has always puzzled me. I suppose...

One of the programs I use is FastStone Image Viewer. It's free and does raw + jpeg files. In the Print section, there's a Print Design option which makes it easy to create 'panels' - my local photography club assigns us panel projects :)!.. https://www.faststone.org/

I have a Canon Ixus 70 which I inherited from my mum - a cracking little camera! I bought a Panasonic Lumix TZ55 in 2016, new, for £109, which was a great deal. I use both these cameras when I don't want to take the BIG camera for walkies :)!

You can do it with the more humble Panasonic Lumix FZ1000;)!

Canon Ixus 105 :)...

Yes! I always have a camera with me :)! When I don't want to carry the big ones, I have either my Canon Ixus 105 or my Panasonic Lumix TZ55 in my pocket!

Hello Jack - I've just seen this! I live next door to the Severn and the swans are my neighbours. I'm a big fan:)! A useful source for advice is The Swan Sanctuary and they have an emergency phone number (landline): https://www.theswansanctuary.org.uk/contact-us/

Hi! I haven't been here for a while either:)! I can second Cagey75's recommendations. I bought a Panasonic Lumix FZ72 about 6 months ago from Amazon Marketplace - £199 - refurbished with guarantee. The FZ82 is a later model. I've been very happy with it. No complaints. It's what you do with...

Good morning, Adam! Boots still develop film. You can order prints or have the pics put on a disc - or both! Google 'Boots photography services'. I have an Olympus film camera and that's where I take the films. Give it a go!
