Out of interest I won the capital radio competition some months ago
which was a a quality digital camera from Dixons. After deliberation I
exchanged my £750 digital camera for:
A scanner
A quality SMR camera
And Nintendo 64 plus bits for the kids!!!
I have not regretted it I can scan phootos into PC and get the
resolution of the better camera!!
