My camera is just for fun. I remember when I was a young boy (maybe around 12 or less, early 1980s) -- and I used to go to the chemist (drug store) to look at the cameras, but I wasn't allowed to have one, because of the cost of film/processing. Finally got a camera when I was about 16. I've had pictures end up on the front page of the newspaper (several times) -- and was happy to be a media photographer for a newspaper at a commemorative cricket match (Ashes match in Sunbury, around 1995) -- and I only took about 200 photos at the event -- nowadays I would probably take 5 times that many, or more!

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30. Still have a Minolta Dyn
