| 07:04.43 | morsing | How are the kids? |
| 07:04.53 | mozrat | Good thanks :-) |
| 07:05.00 | mozrat | Getting old |

| 07:05.32 | mozrat | Owl!! |
| 07:06.44 | Leeds | cute |
| 07:08.02 | mozrat | Thanks :) |
| 07:08.13 | mozrat | That was about 6 months ago - they are bigger now |
| 07:11.34 | morsing | What?! |
| 07:11.52 | mozrat | That photo isn't very recent |
| 07:12.30 | morsing | They go bigger? |
| 07:12.52 | mozrat | Only if you feed them |
| 07:13.03 | morsing | You shouldn't feed them then :) |
| 07:14.07 | mozrat | No. they then become noisy |
| 07:14.14 | mozrat | it is a fine balance |
| 07:14.17 | morsing | What's a good digital camera these days? I'm happy with my G3 but the pictures are blurry |
| 07:14.24 | morsing | Nice |
| 07:15.01 | Leeds | I like the Ixus range, but they tend to blur at night because they go to a long exposure - the top-end one has image stabilisation now, I think |
| 07:15.33 | morsing | Ok, I'm looking semi-pro £3-500 |
| 07:16.00 | morsing | I don't understand wy my camera takes blurry photos though |
| 07:16.04 | morsing | h |
| 07:16.43 | Leeds | not dslr though? |
| 07:16.47 | morsing | Ok guys, here are some 'h's. Whenever I miss one out, just put it in |
| 07:16.53 | morsing | hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |
| 07:17.05 | morsing | dslr? Far too expensive |
| 07:19.15 | Leeds | you can get them for *much* less than that, nowadays |
| 07:23.21 | morsing | Leeds: Uhmmm... No you can't |
| 07:23.52 | morsing | Lenses alone is around £1200 - £1500 |
| 07:24.49 | Leeds | http://tinyurl.com/yhwwex is the ixus I was thinking of, anyway |
| 07:25.09 | Leeds | and you can get a body and lens for under £1000, quite easily |
| 07:26.05 | morsing | And that lens would be semi-poor quality and far from adeqaute if you want to take advantage of the SLR |
| 07:27.15 | Leeds | probably - but you can still get it |
| 07:27.22 | morsing | Why hasn't Skeletor emailed me yet...? |
| 07:27.40 | Leeds | there is *something* between a £300 point'n'shoot and a £1500 dslr |
