I just got a new camera and I'm really happy. Its a Fujifilm X10 and it's a thing of beauty. It reminds me of the old Russian rangefinder camera my parents bought me as a present when I was a kid.

I haven't had a chance to have a play with it yet, but when I do I'll post up some of the results. The manual is 132 pages long so I'm going to go to bed soon and start reading it!

Lucky you! I'm due a bonus after Xmas from work and am treating myself to a camera, not sure yet whether it'll be a superzoom compact, a bridge camera or a micro 4/3s. Some good deals out there at the mo.

i'm hoping to get a new one, a Pentax k-30. it's come down in price and there's 50 squids cashback, so £319 for the body. my newest is approx 3 years old and i got it after it had been discontinued. i've since broken the auto focus, so i could do with a new one.

Thanks Stu, yes I am lucky. The micro 4/3 look interesting. There are some really interesting cameras around these days with the line between DSLR's and smaller cameras blurring all the time. Sony have just made a compact camera with a full size sensor- costs an arm and a leg, but give it a few years and these will probably be the norm.

I am not looking to spend more than £250. The bloke in one shop I went to said "oh it isn't worth spending that little, it won't be any better than what you've got" but I remain unconvinced by that suggestion!

Anyone know why I keep getting blocked from uploading photos that are way less than 1 mb and all within the 800/600 limits?

Been up the cemetery about 3am trying to get some interesting wet night photos. They came out ok but needed a bit of artistry in the end...

This is the Mersey in the late afternoon sun today, some HDR processing at home to open up the photo a bit.

I walked the dog past the churchyard as the sun was setting behind it this afternoon:

Which one's your dog? At any rate he's got a funny shaped head.

Nice photo - is that a Sontaran standing on the left hand side?
