well i got me a Fujifilm Finepix S700. not expensive at all. i had the a700 but it sucked because the screen was broke. so i got this one. and i must say, messing with the settings, you can really get some good pics out of it. my Chihuahua while she was sleeping on the couch. i sat there for like 10min taking her pic, messing with the settings each time. she wake up and looked annoyed at me during one the pics(not pictured). lol. for this shot i used my g/f camera for the flash. timed it with my camera this is a pic of some melted ice on my front storm door. and one of my 2 dogs looking out the door. the white one(Candy) and the black and white one(cookie). i had nothing to do with the names. lol. and dont mind the boobies. just just had puppies. lol. view at full size to see detail.
nice pics. forgive me for being ignorant, but when you say that you used your g/f's camera for the flash, does the new camera you have not have one?
