With birthday money burning a hole in my pocket since April I came to the conclusion I needed a new camera. Ok need is a strong word. The phone takes super photos but has no optical zoom, the samsung galaxy 2 camera is sadly passed it best and the big camera ... well that's a class apart but not practical for rural dog walks. I wanted Optical zoom, photo burst, clear action shots and generally good quality photos. Well I opted for a Canon IXUS 285 - and it arrived this afternoon - watch this space!
