I got my new camera this week, very excited, I'm hoping I'll have some time at the weekend to play
I got a Panasonic Lumix LX3 in the end, I'm trying to learn about aspect ratio's, shutter speeds etc at the moment, this is making me feel retarded.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 2 Mar 2011, 17:58, Reply)

aspect ratio is not important when taking the picture (that's a resizing issue)
shutter speed and aperture are basically how you balance how much light gets in. Long shutter speed lets more light in, short lets less

aperture is the size of the hole that lets the light in - smaller the number the bigger the hole.

Balance them, then you've got a decent picture. Piece of piss

yay!
If you are stuck, just gaz me, but it should be easy if you do a bit at a time. Practise in Aperture priority mode for a bit, then shutter priority then the big one COMPLETE MANUAL - there be dragons

Netflix in the states for Nintendo DS, free wifi automaticlly with AT&T, probs going to do the same deal here with Openzone (at a guess), meaning in built up places your DS will always be online.

Can I suggest that you avoid the job centre when looking for a new one...

Nah, I volunteered for it
for various convoluted reasons but mostly because I'll probably never get as good a payout as I will now, since the Goobmint is hell bent on slashing terms and conditions like there's no tomorrow.

Also, Jobcentre - I know, I used to work in one.
