12 April

Four years ago I bought a Pentax MZ7 with Sigma 28-300mm lens.
At the same time my husband decided it was time we went digital - I wasn't ready!
He started looking at digital cameras and, as I knew he would never use one, I steered him towards the Fuji Finepix 6900.
I was right, he never used it and it became mine!
I liked the handling but hated the digital viewfinder, severe shutter lag and way of zooming, so couldn't wait to get my hands on a digital SLR.
However, I can't fault the photographs it produces and I can't believe how much I've used it, alongside my Nikon D70, for PaD

I started with digital so know no other, I had a fuji z4900 followed by z6900 then the 602 pro before moving to the D70 which is wonderful. Thanks for dropping & posting by my Pad

I'd love to make my 8800 the back-up camera :)

Nearly bough tone of these. Always worth keeping hold of old digital camera's. My 7 year old daughter is now using my five year old 2 mega pixel Fuji DX-10 and taking some very good shots on it.

It is good to have a back-up camera. And sometimes it just gets to heavy to carry around all those lenses. But this one looks pretty big too!

Looks good, but I'm sure you're glad you've got your D70!

These are perfect for good quality photos - I had something similar before my D70.
