Tracker Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I use a 9 year old 8 megapixel Canon Powershot S5IS which has loadza settings etc - but being a bit of a numpty with settings I only ever use it on auto and I am always amazed at the results. I bought it on the recommendation of a mate, who knew about these things, from my then local camera shop (just before it closed down!) a few months after they changed the model for an updated one as it was heavily discounted. Never buy the latest model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Had Enough Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 capcloser - 2014-01-22 8:58 PM Dont tell uncle frank but i just bought a fuji finepix 30×zoom for about £130 off amazon,other pic was on an old mobile phone,having said that i'm pretty crap at taking pictures any way,usually a thumb or finger in there somewhere,have tried the fuji and its a brilliant camera even an idiot can use it lol We'd have sold it to you for the same price but we'd have showed you how to use all the extra functions and you could come back any time for further expert advice. ;-) There's a large number of people out there not using their cameras to the full because they've tried to save a few bob by buying it online. You can't beat good advice from experts! (lol) http://www.wilkinson.co.uk/cameras/digital-compact-cameras/fuji/fuji-finepix-s4800-black.html Furthermore if you buy a complex digital SLR, for a modest fee you can attend one of our many workshops for in-depth training. We do dozens of these every year. That's service and professionalism for you eh! http://www.wilkinson.co.uk/workshops-and-courses.html PS I sold Fuji last year as it wasn't performing and bought Nikon instead!

Patricia Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Love your picture Tracker but I think Morocco is the last place I would choose for a holiday destination. My husband was stationed in the desert and hated it - it took me years to persuade him to travel abroad again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank - this is a genuine post - no "hidden agenda" or any other such nonsense - but I have to say - I could not agree with you more. Service and good service is what produces satisfied clients. Like your area of speciality, Financial Services is clearly an area that has distinct competition from the "on-line" option. But whereas for example we will go the extra mile and set up a Trust at no extra cost such that beneficiaries have the satisfaction of knowing all is in place to ensure assets go where they want them to go. Neither the on-line providers or the banks ever did this. In fact the Banks always took the maximum commission then left the clients "high and dry". But I should not grumble - we get a huge number of clients that come to us to sort out the problems they have got themselves into via On-Line providers and the Banks. And ongoing service - such as your training days - we run the same ourselves for both individuals and firms - is the key to success. So I agree - You cannot beet good advice from experts - whatever the field of expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
