Tales from a Digital Guy

Ok so i had a spare £60 buring a hole in my pocket so i went out and bought a Canon A1200 from Jessops. Its just a fairly basic compact, BUT it does have an optical viewfinder, thats why i bought it, so i can do a bit more "street" and see if i like it before blowing £400 on a G12.

Overall i'm well impressed with this camera, and it has some very interesting effects, one of which i was very pleased to see "Toy Camera"....translated this means it imitates a lomo film camera (kind of)...i've played around with this effect before, but had to get it via tweaking in photoshop...i know it's certainly not everyones cup of tea, but in it's place, i think its quite cool.

Thanks for all the lovely comments re my last pic - i'm really rubbish at commenting but i'll try and be better :)
