A new camera for my birthday !

My daughters had been to Laycock  (Fox Talbot etc..) and bought me a new camera which would apparently now match my stage of life !
The first worry is the recommended age of 8yrs to be able to put it together but I've engaged the help of my grandson who is 10 and a wizard in making models.  The main problem is the printed instructions are so small I cant read them and then it uses a thing called "film" to take pictures. Apparently a man of my calibre should be able to complete this with no trouble !!!!!!
Daughter  No2 whose daughter it is next Wednesday, seems to have forgotten that it is up to the father of the bride to give a little speech on the outstanding features of his daughter !
