That your son?

I need to be using my Toy Cameras more......I'm gonna work on it!

Regards!

Thanks Rupert! Yes that is my son, one of my favorite subjects. I find him very photogenic and comfortable in front of a camera.

Here is another of him with the LCA 120. For some reason, despite the parallax error cutting off the top of his head and the focus of the knife hand, I like this picture. I guess that kind of stuff happens sometimes with toy cameras.

Another nice one Mr Bassie.....You'll get all his head next time!

I was looking at the specs on that little camera...it's pretty impressive!

Regards!

I just love this one. It doesn't matter than his cap has disappeared into the never never, the shot is great, and he is so photogenic!

Beautiful. I like all, but actually have a slight preference for the first, where its just beginning to show. The clouds are magnificent.

Thought I might drop one in today, its been a while... And I am still loving my Nikon P610. It doesn't even matter that it doesn't have RAW, the JPGs are very workable with the right tools.

I keep that tray filled during hot weather, and the birds just love it. There isn't a lot of fresh water nearby that they can actually get into and bathe, there are a few ponds around but too deep for small birds. And full of Koi that some idiots have dumped into the wild.

The other advantage is that I get to hear birds singing all day long

Nice! you have a fantastic selection of colourful birds in your neck of the woods. Not bad for a steel town.

By lopping off the top of your son's head, you focus attention more on his features. I think it works great in this shot.

That is a really nice sharp clear shot! Color is great too! Couldn't be any better than that one!

A couple of X10 shots of my son & daughter in law ...and with her and her parents. They have been here two months visiting from the Philippines.

We went to a play at the Opera House here yesterday...Mary Poppins. It was wonderfully done!

Opera House They just finishes a 3.5 million $$$ remodel and it is first class inside!

The x10 is great for low light shooting in the "Pro Low Light" setting. All Toy Cameras are good for day excursions when you don't want to carry a big heavy DSLR.

Regards!

You are certainly making a strong case for the P610

It's probably my current #1 choice. Unfortunately, my car unexpectedly decided to drop its exhaust while driving to my mother's on Thanksgiving, so suddenly there is less "fun money".
