I took these photos this evening near the stables.

[Karen W.]

WOW WOW WOW!!! I love when the deer come round I just never have my camera ready! Terrific shots Doc! Terrific! You have a trrific Camera!

[DoctorBeaver (OP)]

These were taken using my Fuji S5500. It's got a fabulous telephoto. I was at least 200yds from them. And I wasn't using a tripod; just holding the camera steady using a fast shutter speed.


I take my Fuji around with me practically everywhere & keep the Canon for specific shoots.

[that mad man]

Thanks for the great photos!

That deer was aware of you even though you were over 200 yards away, amazing.

[DoctorBeaver (OP)]

Thanks, Bernard. I'm pleased with that 1 of the young stag. As you said, he was obviously aware of me (or certainly appears to have been) even though I was that far away behind a bush.

It Takes Great pictures.. I know nothing about cameras.. Mine is supposed to do other stuff IE video etc.. but I don't know how to do it! I just learned how to erase them and upload them and I have had the camera almost a year now! LOL!~

[DoctorBeaver (OP)]

What camera is it? I may be able to give you a few tips.

I'm a camera addict - still & video. I've got the Fuji, Canon EOS IID & a Samsung, another 1 I can't remember the make of that I use just for snapshots, a mini-cam the size of a matchbox, plus a Canon, a Sony & 2 Panasonic video cameras, 1 of which is broadcast quality.

I've got 4 full-size tripods including a Bilora fluid head with spirit level, mini-pods, clamp-pods, various spotlights & other gadgets.

[Karen W.]

It is a FUJI FINE PX 4.1 mega pixels
4 scene modes 3X optical zoom
anti glare LCDAnd a FUJINON zoom lens that says 3x6.4-19.2mm 1:3.3-5.5
Super CCD

Fujis are good cameras.

Is yours a point-and-shoot? If so, there should be a dial with symbols on it. The camera symbol is for ordinary pics and the video cam symbol for mpegs. That's all you need to know really.

[Karen W.]

Has no dials at all!

[DoctorBeaver (OP)]

Oh. On-screen menu?

[Karen W.]

Yes on screen menu! It has all kind of settings on the back accessed through push button digital display, like a mini computer!you can set it for Auto, landscape, manual, portrait or movie as far as shooting mode goes!

[Karen W.]

I have had someone tell me I could by a zoom lens to add to my camera!

[DoctorBeaver (OP)]

It sounds a bit like my Fuji. I've got all sorts of on-screen options for resolution, shutter speed, aperture, multi-shot, etc, but also got the selector dial. It's also got mpeg capability with sound & can be used as a webcam.

[Karen W.]

I know mine does movies etc. biut I don't know if it does sound! Maybe..LOL

[DoctorBeaver (OP)]

Which model is it?

[Karen W.]

FinePix A 400

[DoctorBeaver (OP)]

I don't think you get sound with those & I'm pretty sure you can't fit other lenses either.

This is my Fuji.







It's got sound for movies & voice memos (voice memos can be attached to photos), & there are additional lenses for it. There's a pop-up, 3-mode flash on the top.

The on;y difference between mine & the 1 in the pics is that I've got a 512MbXD card in mine & this 1 only has 128Mb which you can see in the side shot.

Morning Doc - I have 2 questions.....

Red deer or Roe?

and,

Did you consider the Canon D40 / D50 range? If you did, then what made you buy the Fuji?

I believe they are red deer.

I chose the Fuji as it's under £200 and much higher spec than the D40/50.
