I am a very happy bunny. I have a lovely new toy, a Casio Exilim EX-Z3 digital camera. And it was a bargain as it was a sample for Firebox so I got it at cost price. Yay. Initial impressions are that it is VERY COOL INDEED. The coolest thing is the 3X Optical Zoom, which in a camera with such a slim profile is nothing sort of miraculous (the lenses slide sideways as they retract into the camera body. Clever, these Japanese!). I've been using the office Exilim S2 for a while, which is excellent (and even smaller) but I can hardly wait to see what my new toy can do! Expect numerous new Photo Libraries in future.
Actually, Adrienne and I have a nascent project to document the frankly stunning array of crap which turns up on the footpaths of our neighbourhood in Manor house. Scarcely a day goes by without a new Cooker, Fridge TV set or sofa appearing. Often in threes. You'll see...
Find myself torn between an Exilim and an Ixus. Both have got the requisite letter "x", which is nice, and bags more pixels than my current model. Still pleased with the Z3?
