As Promised...What I got for Xmas!!!
Well....Here's what I got for Christmas!!! Sony Cybershot U30 mini digital camera. This is simply amazingly small and takes really good pics, though no match for my other gift from Suzanne, a Minolta Z1!!! I'm selling the G2 now on Ebay since the Z1 is that much more useable with it's 10X Zoom and HQ video mode. The tiny sony will be the "boat camera." Extra memory and cases for the above cameras. A copy of And the Sea Will Tell in paperback A lot of Bed Bath and Beyond gifts cards (for Suzanne and I) A lot of circuit city gift cards Two heavy sweatshirts that say "Still Plays with Boats!" New headphones for my cell phone A 100.00 gift card to West Marine! 9K from my father, which was odd given the fact that we're all paid up. It will go into our "next boat" fund. Quite a few DVDs. One light sailing jacket A new 17 inch Sony flat screen monitor! A really nice ice scraper for the Outback! And a bunch of other items I can't remember. We spent Xmas day with close friends, cooking up two chickens and ham. Everyone brought a dish and we cracked open some good wine. Saturday we drove to PA to dine with my folks....A great holiday was had by all!!! Hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did. Capt RB |

Bobspit is like Aesop's Fly, sitting on the axle of the chariot, has
been much laughed at for exclaiming: What a dust I do raise! Well done, Joe. RB |

You paid less than free? Fuji digital cameras trail the pack. Canon, Minolta, OIympus and Nikon are among the better consumer/prosumer units. Sony is also okay for lower cost units. RB |

Sounds like a good time, but no rum? Two bottles of IW harper for the boat. I may even have a little....but just a little. RB |

Try again. Yours has a plastic lens. Mine has a glass lens by Zeiss.

Sony is also okay for lower cost units.
Yea, that's why Sony is the only manufacture to give the customer a Carl Zeiss lens on step up models. Oh, and by the way Sony just introduced an 8 mega pixel camera. When is Fuji's comming? Digital cameras .......... just another thing the dimwit Boob knows nothing about. S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" Trains are a winter sport |

Strange, my digital Hasselblad has a Zeisss lens. I can name several more
digital camera that have Zeiss lens. Seems like Sony is not exclusive on this. Fuji has 12 megapixel/picture storage. Does Sony? Fuji's interleaving format has higher efficiency compression algorithms than Sony's. Dr. Bronner "SAIL LOCO" wrote in message ... Sony is also okay for lower cost units.

Try again. Yours has a plastic lens. Mine has a glass lens by Zeiss. 10 glass elements in 7 groups (includes two elements with three aspheric surfaces) Now that you look foolish, I deliver the final kick to your block-head. Fuji's electronics and AF system lags. In addition, the Fugi takes longer to power up and takes 1.5 seconds shot to shot, while the Z1 powers up faster and can manage just under 1 second shot to shot. Both cameras have good optics with the edge to the fuji. I actually like the S7000, but it's AF system proved unreliable...much like Canon G1 and Olympus C50. No thanks. The Z1 is so usable I'm selling the G2 on Ebay right now. The Z1's "fastest" auto focus means it takes more usable shots than many other better cameras. I'll be picking up the next gen of the canon rebel next. RB |

Digital cameras .......... just another thing the dimwit Boob knows nothing Slap a Zeiss lens on so-so camera and you get a so-so camera with a good lens. Cameras from Olympus, Minolta and Canon are more capable. BUT, until I used the Z1, few digitals had a better AF system than the higher end Sony units. Side by side with my Canon G2, the Sony DSC-F828 did not measure up until we took the units down to manual. Of course a good 7X lens will have a tough time beating a good 3X lens and canon optics are excellent. Loco is as dumb about cameras as he is about boats. He thinks the only important part of a camera is the lens! Just like he thinks the only important part of a boat is it's PHRF rating! Bwahahahahaha! RB |

Where is there info on this camera. Website only shows S3000, 5000 and 7000. Looks like you're BUSTED! Bwahahahahahaa! RB |

And also note that no other camera can capture movie clips as well as the Z1.
Pretty cool since I don't like bringing my PD-150 or TRV900 aboard. RB |

No, I made you look and you didn't even know of the Fuji product offerings
until you looked it up. BUSTED!!!!!! "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... I got a Fuji S6000. Paid less for it than you did yours. Where is there info on this camera. Website only shows S3000, 5000 and 7000. Looks like you're BUSTED! Bwahahahahahaa! RB |

10 glass elements in 7 groups (includes two elements with three aspheric
surfaces) At the cost of achromatic aberrations, which you don't know, are corrected by a pre-stressed plastic lens. Even the finest lens systems fall victim to AA. They are a defining quality factor for refractors and binoculars, but not much of an issue for consumer level digital cameras. You've clearly shown everyone what an idiot you are. Congrats! RB |

and takes 1.5 seconds shot to shot, while the Z1 powers up faster and can
manage just under 1 second shot to shot. On what focus setting? Doesn't matter. The Minolta's is presently the fastest camera for under 1K. RB |

No, I made you look and you didn't even know of the Fuji product offerings
until you looked it up. Pretty sad. You don't even own a camera, let alone a good one. And I caught you because you didn't know the Fuji line. Ahem....applause...thank you! RB |

RB I buy disposable cameras for much less. Good for you. Most people buy more camera than they'll ever use. Like this meathead who's worried about chromatic aberation on a low cost digital. RB |

Good for you. I'm sure it'll make it much easier to bust you for
sex with young boys, since the authorities will be informed as soon as you drop off your first roll at the local Fotomat. "Horvath" wrote in message ...
