An honest appraisal there mate, worth all the more because I know how thoroughly you have worked this camera.

Thank You.

I must be feeling nostalgic or something but I felt kind of sad reading this , the pace of change means that a pretty good camera is superseded in just 24 months.

The SZ-30MR will be retained as a backup, replacing the Stylus 9010 in that role. I will pass on the Stylus 9010 to a friend of Sandra's, as requested by Sandra.

The SP-570UZ will be retained as a collector's item. With the memory cards for it no longer available and no HD video, its value as a bridge camera is questionable. But it is built like a brick outhouse.

In the film days the Pro Nikons went for 8 years between cycles.

Another friend of Sandra's asked me my opinion about her 35mm Nikon SLR. The DPReview 'Open Forum' reply was also not quite encouraging. But an amateur radio friend wishes to replace his dead Nikon 35mm SLR, so last night I put Graham and Jan in touch.

I am thoroughly enjoying the new camera, turning shutter/ exposure dials and lens aperture rings induces a smile every time compared to the command dials on the SLRs.

The SH-50 Manual Settings do work. You change them until the Exposure Variation shows the value you want. I have not tried it on a night shot yet though.

Thanks for looking.

Henry
