Couple of Cerb pics....
Discussion
Hi
I worked and lived in the fair wee Isle for a year or so. The roads are fantastic and generally good quality because of the low volumes of traffic.
Be careful of sheep and other 4 legged visitors, and the weather of course which can turn on you quickly.
Have a great trip. And get a digital camera !
Cheers
Simon
Watch out for Fuji. You don't always get what it says on the box. Older ones certainly used interpolation to get the res that they claimed i.e takes pic at 2.2mps and then frigs it upto 3.3mps or even 4.2mps in software.
You gets out what you puts in always works with quality.
Make sure that you gets what you pay for.

Car looks great ! 
What rear tyres you running ? They don't look like S02's (unless I'm going blind !)
For reference, all the pics on my site (www.tvr-cerbera.fsnet.co.uk) were taken with a fairly cheap digi camera (an Olympus C860-L - cost me a massive £199 18 months ago).... Max res is 1280 x 960, which is perfectly addequate ! (the only problem with is as standard, is it came with a 8meg card, so a max of 40 pics, but a 32 meg card means I can get 150ish pics on a card)....

Fuji make great little cameras but the pixel count is not waht it says on any of there cameras I believe (maybe wrong), they use an extrapolation system to double the pixel count, which works most of the time, but in low ligyt or odd conditions it can get it wrong and make the image a bit blurred.

all photos where taken with a fuji 40i, which is a nice pocket size camera, some of the pics are good, but others I have not so good, which is why I am looking to get a better camera, with out the extrapolation and with a zoom lense next time.

Noodles,
Looking to get one myself soon – what make was your mates?
I fancy one of those 3 million pixel Fujis – about £399ish and then a bigger memory card.
What's everyone else got – Ed – forgot what yours was now ...
I recently invested in a Canon 885 Coolpix - which is about 3.2Mpx. I have been chuffed to bits with the quality, since you can always rescale it to make it smaller for the web.
If you are looking for a cheaper place to get yer camera try these boys. They are quite competitive...

Hello,
No Olly - they are Goodyear Eagle F1 Tyres.
I reckon anything above about 2mega pixels is not really worth it. The quality of a 2.1mega pixel photo on a good camera is astounding. The ones posted above have been down-sized from 450kb to 48kb each and they were originally 1600x1200. That is a huge photo.
I can thoroughly recommend the Olympus Camedia range. They are superb. The prices seem to start at £500 for a respectable one. I bought a 2 mega pixel Ricoh a couple of years back and it is so poor it is almost not worth using at all (so I don't). The olympus also lets you take small 15 second movies in superb quality with very good sound. On a 128Mb card you can get about 300 1600x1200 pics. I managed to pick up some half price memory cards in Aruba as they are well pricey here. Check out the link below to see what a full size photo looks like.

Excellent. I was hoping to go to Skye (as soon as my central locking is fixed).
