HI I'm 86 and still keen on Photography

Starting with a Baby Brownie on my sixth birthday, I get as much pleasure, playing with new cameras, as in actually taking photos. My latest edition is a Nikon P510. which I am comparing to my previous Lumix XZ28.

Wow! that's so good! My mum wanted to get her first computer around that age. She never did in the end, but always had a keen mind until the day she died - 2 weeks after her 95th birthday.

Glad you're still having fun. I have the P510 and really enjoy it after getting rid of the 5100 which weighed a ton with lens.

Thank you for your kind comments. My son urged me to introduce computing into my printing business, in 1990. I had to sell all my typesetting equipment, in order to afford a Mac+, Laser Printer and software ($12,000 worth in those days in Brisbane), and learn very quickly, as my son had only 3 days to get me started, before returning to Sydney. My business surged from then on until my retirement aged 80, but I still love computers, especially my latest iMac, and I intend to purchase one of the new iPad Minis.

So far I have only taken practice photos (about 500 actually), but after studying the manual completely, I am now ready to try the camera out in the field. Unfortunately, I am due to have plastic surgery, to-morrow morning, so photography will have to be put off for while. Acting on my emailed scalp photos, the surgeon brought my operation forward a couple of weeks, which is great.

Please check out the new Panasonic FZ200-
This is absolutely the best "Bridge" camera out there.
It has a f2.8 aperture and 24X zoom. I paid $599.- but the price has come down slightly.
P.S. It has 12.1 Mp sensor and shoots in JPEG and RAW.

Dear Ozgirl:
Gosh, your mum looked so young in the photo! She looks as if she is only 75 years old there. She was so bright-eyed and her skin is amazingly smooth for 95!!!! What face cream did she use! Thanks for sharing her photo with us.
All the best,
Susie Q
