Do you remember that one? Might take me a bit to find... Nope! Not able to recall what it was under. I seem to remember it had something to do w/some old picture site, however. Perhaps something to do w/your old typewriter...even though I'm not sure how that could be. An old camera, then, perhaps? I forget. I'll have to think about it. :-(TC [Girl]https://www.blogger.com/profile/13627383459407464083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-35263351093171033482011-12-11T16:56:49.832+00:002011-12-11T16:56:49.832+00:00Nice winter shot.

I had only a little time with the V1/J1 and like the Fuji better, but that's just me. The X10 has a built-in lens that covers the focal lengths I use for 98% of my shooting, and there's nothing more to buy. <br /><br />The Nikon 1 V1 is nice, built very solidly. It would be a nice camera with a fast pancake lens (faster than the one available for it now).<br /><br />TCgirl,<br /><br />You are too kind, and thanks for checking out my pictures!

It's amazing what Fuji can wring from a pretty small sensor."<br /><br />This is a really nice shot. I'll have to go back and look at the last batch of moon shots I <i>tried</i> to shoot and check out the settings.

(...as he, further delves into all the good stuff on this camera!)<br /><br />"There are two macro settings: regular and super. With super, and at the wide end, you can nearly touch what you're shooting with the glass and still focus. It's crazy fun to use."<br /><br />STOP IT! I'm already drooling! lol! I MISS my Zeiss lens on my old <a href="http://alturl.com/kr295" rel="nofollow">Sony Mavica</a>! This one is similar but not quite it. I'm too tired, right now, to get up and go out to look at the model. :-P Anyway, that was my first taste of macro work and I had a LOT of fun w/that! I've been enjoying looking at your pics, whenever I could, today, and <a href="http://emptyspaces.aminus3.com/image/2011-04-04.html" rel="nofollow">this one</a> is just crazy macro!! Looks FUN!<br /><br />"Lucky me, part of my job is evaluating new cameras, so I get to try out anything interesting that comes through."<br /><br />LUCKY YOU, alright! That must not suck, too badly, to have to go to work, for you! :-)<br /><br />"I tried out the Nikon 1 system (both cameras), and this Fuji beats them both for what I like to do."<br /><br />Wow!

Having used the X10, I say don't worry, a firmware update will take care of whatever miniscule problem may be present.
