CHINCHILLA!!!!!^^ *glomps your entire house and snuggles it close*^^

What an adorable chinchilla! I love those little guys!

Good focus and framing, and way to freeze a chinchilla! Looks a bit pissed, doesn't he?

Hahaha they always look a bit cautious I think :) Thanks for the nice comment... I think I am ok at photography, really want a nice new camera when I can afford to splash out on one! X3!

I used the same camera for years before going digital. I bought a digital that was going out of production for half price from the manufacturer. It works just a s well (if not better) than the newer model. I find that the difference in resolution between the two is negligible.

Well mine is a pocket type one, so isnt that manual. It has very basica manual settings you can use to your advantage, but a lot is missing for the sort of experimentation and artistic elements I want from my photos, so I really want a nice Digital SLR when I can afford one. My sister is a photographer and she uses a lovely SLR made by Canon (EOS 450D I think it is).

I should get my old manual SLR out and play with that X3 Trusty old thing needs some love :D

But try finding good film these days, and the cost of developing! Oy veh!

My Fuji has all the same settings as my old Chinon, and thanks to digital I can take lots of shots at different settings and review (even delete them) on the spot.

That's exactly why I like digital cameras. They are always good for when you go out somewhere meaningful or somewhere you can't go often to take photos, and you can, as you, say, change rettings, review, take mroe if you need etc. Very useful. Getting home to find you spent money and time getting shots that actually are poor is so annoying when you have those photos in your hand and you can't do anything about it.

yeah, l used to take hundreds of shots and spend a small fortune developing and printing them until I learned about contact sheets. Still cost an arm and a leg though. Now I just keep a charger in the car and a spare memory card.

Aaarghh! Mali keeps attacking the mouse and dancing on the keyboard! She makes what i type llcfjiuwnbffv sfdjnjf rewkfnwf ==============================jjjj

lol HI MALI aww. keep up the typing lessons, you could take her on trips with you and she can do some work for you :P haha X3

Yeah always goo having a spare battery pack when you buy a camera also, one charged and one in the camera. I find that works very well. :)

oh wow, you even have a chinchilla... I first saw those in 1998 in denmark. have wanted one ever since. but "exotic" animals are not allowed here, so... :/

We have 6 x_x They're crazy. I do like them a lot though. Very very cute little critters for sure, it is a shame you can't have one :< with lots of personal care they become very relaxed and snuggly, but still very lively. Mine are very scatty though :< They prefer to spend their time with eachother compared to us, but I always talk to them and give them treats and stuff.

Awww, you have a chinchilla too! They're so darned CUTE. XD

I have 6 lol!! They're beautiful little critters. I love how soft they feel and they are rather fun to watch race around their cage X3
