Recent trip with bikes to Jersey, this was on the route to Corbiere lighthouse, and El Tico is a fantastic surf shack diner, excellent trip and lovely scenery, nice safe bike routes and green lanes everywhere for worry free riding.

Ta muchly for the likes. My niece's 2nd birthday party (that's her in the middle). She got two bubble machines, so we set them both going.
Taken on my new Canon IXUS IS500, bought for £79 at Argos. A bargain, I thought - a great little camera, although battery life is short, and it has a separate charger, so a spare or two is a must. I bought it after years of using the camera on my smartphone - as a Nokia fan, I benefited from pretty decent camera phones for years until my latest upgrade when I got a Samsung Galaxy S3 (didn't fancy a Lumia, for some reason). The camera on that, while okay, doesn't seem as friendly as the Nokias - no dedicated shutter button for one thing - so I decided to splash out. I hope the Lumia 1020's available when I'm next ready for an upgrade. That looks stunning...

I had the exact same camera on reserve at Argos but when I went in I plumped for a roughly equivalent Samsung instead, which I'm happy with, it fits my hands and has Wifi - although this is intermittently shite. Here's new my hamster...

Has yours got full manual exposure? That caught my eye in Tesco, which started me looking. By the time I'd finished looking, nowhere had stock of it or a similar Canon which I preferred at a price I could afford - only the replacements for too much. I saw the IXUS, and realised it'd stay in auto most of the time.

Not sure what you mean by full manual exposure, but I think the answer is no. One "auto" setting, a Program setting where you can control everything *but* the exposure, aperture, shutter speed; and several novelty modes I don't really use!
I do have a "posh" camera too, so some of my photos are not from the Samsung!

The IXUS is my posh camera. 
I had a Yashica SLR for my 18th. Didn't get on with it, so gave it my dad and got a Nikon compact. This was many moons ago, though...

This is from my Sony NEX today - I must say the Samsung compact is good at close-ups but nothing like the NEX...
