Not the latest camera

I took this photo with a Samsung Digimax S600 that a relative gave me, they purchased it in 2006. This a 6 megapixel camera that has a f/2.8 lens with no image stabalising, a low spec by todays standards. Having taken a few test shots with it, I was suprised to find that it is a useable camera that takes decent photos, I also like the manual control that allows setting of the shutter speed and aperture and it takes standard AA batteries.

Like most photographers, I take an interest in new cameras, but I now realise it more about getting to know what you already have, the latest may not be the best choice for your own purposes. Click on the above photo to display the full size original, there is some more info on the camera HERE.
