Very sad indeed, 64 is no age. :( I think my fave role was as the father in Distant Voices, Still Lives.

E's and cigarettes? Sounds like a good night out. ;)

I've 'loaned' a DSLR to my son who's been using his iPhone for photos - not bad, but, well, it's a phone. Anyway, his interest is tweaked so... But, I don't have the time to go over all the functions and consequences of the various settings. Found a couple of useful pages (this and that), but...

Many thanks all for your information and experiences. The Mju is gathering pace on the highly possible front - lack of OVF isn't really an issue in the cold light of day, I'm just a bit old fashioned when it comes to viewfinders. ;)

Many thanks for the replies people, very much appreciated. Yes, while I'm using Photoshop CS at the moment on my sons PC, it's way beyond my pocket (as mentioned, a retiree I'm on a fixed income). However, Elements has become the hot favourite in the purchasing stakes - should be able to buy...

As a digital novice (cameras and computers) on a fixed income which software would the panel recommend? I shall be getting a computer in April (currently relying on the generosity of by son and daughter-in-law, which is limited - not their generosity but availability). s such I will need...

Thanks for the welcome people. Sorry for the apparent tardiness in my reply, I'm yet to get a PC/internet connection (I'm at the mercy of my daughter-in-law for access...).

Hello. Just a quick post to introduce myself; My name is Norman, though I prefer Norm on informal occasions. I'm retired and recently got a digital SLR, my first digital camera. Prior to which I'd been using a film camera, or rather not using it in recent years. Lots to learn and...
