We are back... after a long flight. We had to sprint at Frankfurt Airport to catch our flight to Vancouver because our flight from Copenhagen was delayed due to a very late boarding passenger. ::) Anyways, why is it so hot?
-

Did you bring someone home with you? Or is it just all that mental baggage you are carrying that you were referring to?? ;D ;D ;D :P

Welcome back you two. We turned up the heat to help you get climatized for your next Thompson River trip. Just got back from two bays in Steelhead Town, how does 50c grab sound.

So much for global warming on those photo's. ;D ;D ;D
Welcome back.

Glad your return flight was less eventful than your first flight.

Nice pics rod thanks for sharing and welcome back! btw what model/brand of camera are you using? I'm in the market for a digital and I'm having a heck of a time deciding between the Canon S3 and Sony H2/H5.
-
Go with the Canon
-
I will most likely get the Canon. The Canon has a better movie mode with stereo sound, faster burst mode, less in camera processing and lots of neat little features but the Sony has faster auto focus, is better in low light and the pictures are slightly sharper but do have a sort of digital look to them. I want to be able to take pictures of birds in flight and fish jumping out of the water so the slower auto focus of the Canon (approx. 2 seconds) and a fair bit of noise at ISO 400 and an extreme amount at ISO 800 may be a problem. FA, are you familiar with the Canon S2/S3 or do you just like Canon products in general? Sorry for going way off topic Rod.

This is off topic as well but... I just noticed that the posting times seem to be off by 1 hour. I posted my last message at about 1:30 and the post time says 2:24 ???
-
The camera that I took those photos with is just a simple point and shoot 4mp camera, but it does have a 6X digital zoom and some manual setting that allows me to choose to suit the lighting etc. It is a Fuji Finepix S3100. :)
Re: Time on the forum. I've noticed the problem since a few weeks ago. Last week it actually went an hour earlier so I changed the setting, but I guess the program automatically changed the setting again so it became an hour later. Postings go up immediately when you click on "post", they are not delayed, the posting time was just wrong. I've fixed it now, let's see how long it stays correct.

Welcome back you guys!
Glad to hear that your flight went well, compared to on the way there. I had meant to post a little hello on your Danish journal thread, but just never got around to it... ::)
oh, btw, dont know why you're complaining about the heat..... you totally missed the Sunday/Monday heatwave.... yesterday's weather was almost a little chilly.... :P ;D
We set up our pool on the weekend, so if the heat gets to you, you guys can come over for a swim... (not too sure how well you can swim in a 16 ft simple set with 4 kids.... ;D) but you are welcome to give it a try!!

Welcome back Rodney and Nina. Lots of good fishing ahead for the summer and of course other activities. You did miss the heat wave of a couple of days, but it was enough for us to put off our trip to interior lakes for a few days because of the extreme heat. Sure glad I put in air conditioning last year, wow what a difference.
I like you pictures also and that camera sure produces well.
Eagle eye ....looking for a camera ! Be careful of Canon, they are having major problems with their shutters and focusing. You get an E 18 indicator on your menu and this can be a major problem. Their are pages and pages of web sites relating to this problem with all kinds of Canon models. I have the A 60 but you can check the list. Canon doesn't appear to do much about it unless it happens within the 1 year warranty. Check it out , I can't trust my Canon now for good pictures. Some are in focus, some are not.
Sorry to bring that up here, when we are welcoming the Dane and the adopted Dane back to BC>

I have a Canon A80 4 megapixels. No problem so far. (knock on wood). Did alot of research prior to purchasing; none of problems that Lew pointed out.
-
WELCOME BACK!!!!

Thanks for the advice FA and Lew. I've heard of the E18 error but wasn't aware it was such a major problem. I'll have to see if the S series has had this problem. I've heard of problems with the Sonys as well. One guys had to return his H5 twice and is now on his third one and this is not an isolated incident. I would expect both these companies to have better quality control than that. Whatever I end up getting I will definatley be purchasing an extended warranty!
