A photo of some corks
Here’s a photo of some corks, taken with my new camera. If you click the image you’ll go to Flickr and should be able to download the full sized image (which was not set to maximum possible size) or you can get it here. Seems to be okay.
Some observations on things so far…
The camera appears very robust, right down to the little flap on the side which you have to flick open to insert the AV and USB cables. It’s also very, very shiny, which is important.
The camara’s user interface seems pretty intuitive, but it’s clear I have a lot to learn about what it can do. This may take some time.
It’s a shame I need to install the Canon photo software for Win98 and can’t do Windows Explorer drag-and-drop, as you’d expect – and which apparently you can do with WinXP and Mac OSX. Disconcertingly, the narrative of the install procedure seems to install about 200 pieces of software. Also, software isn’t quite as smooth or consistent as you’d expect from, say, Microsoft, but it seems okay.
Er, that’s it so far. Must get some sleep now, in preparation for the nation’s big day tomorrow.
