Love it Mr Bassie!

Where have you been? Otis has had a search crew out looking for you and was on the verge of declaring you one of the "missing in action".

Been slow for my Toy Cameras.....I'll try to pick up the pace!

Regards

...You guys keep up the thread, Toy Cameras deserve it!

Thanks Rupert. Yep it takes nice still lifes but it sure won't capture any birds in flight! Guess I just need to get braver and dig out my old K10D and bring that with me. I'll also look for more toy camera and fuji x30 pics to keep these threads active!

I finally got a Toy Camera shot worth posting here! Last night the Raccoons decided to have Circus Night, which is always a lot of fun! This young one was on the bird feeder spinning like a top. He wouldn't get off even though I was standing only feet away hollering at him....just too much fun to stop!

X20

"Hey mister, you can ride next, but it's my turn now!"

You are a true artist, Mr Rupert.

Been playing with my oldest digital camera, a 3.2MP Olympus ultrazoom, the C760uz.

I have an old HP one megapixel camera that still works. But when I moved up to a 3 mpx Panasonic I was in heaven!

Nice images Sue!

Yep, nice stuff Mr Bassie...do love that first flower!

Love the colors in that shot Paul, a great realistic capture!

Went to a book-signing event on Sat.....didn't even take my big bulky DSLR, just the little Toy Camera X20. So handy, so small and so easy!

Old Rupert with the author....

Mrs Rupert (right) with another author that has sold her book for a soon to be made movie.

You can buy this wonderful childrens book on Amazon...written by a PF Member!

Yep, Toy Cameras are wonderful when you don't want to carry around all that bulky equipment, but just want to have fun!

A few X20 night shots from last night...

Fun little guys!

Let's spice it up over here! Cottage cheese, Fritos, and wonderful spicy hot sauce along with a good book can make your day!

X20

Got a couple more raccoon shots last night. I used the X10, which I still think beats my X20 by a large degree in IQ. The X20 has more and better features, but the X10 gives better results in my view. It's the EXR sensor that makes the difference. No wonder that if you find one new, they are still near their original price...some places even higher.

Come on over that fence! We have treats over here!

Regards!

You know Rupert, those X10 shots do seem a tad sharper and more detailed on those raccoon pics than the X20. Interesting.

Those are some really nice X30 shots Mr Bassie, you always do so well with it. Nice scenery and love the Fuji colors!

I have the X10 and X20 and in most cases the X10 just produces better images. In a few cases the X20 will outperform it, but not often. That EXR sensor was really a winner...wish they still used it.

The first day I got the X10 I loved it...and still do.

I didn't know a thing about it and just set it on EXR and shot.....Did good enough for me for a first day use!

A couple more X10 shots from last night.....Mama raccoon.

Nice teeth Mama!

Peek-a-Boo?

Not a problem getting decent focus in the darkness....the X10 hits it on most every shot. Not as fast as the X20, but just as accurate.

Regards!
