You mentioned free smartphone cameras. It's like free lunches, there's no such thing!

Flecc, don't buy a new one. You can have one from this free box that I will be getting, once I get the details. There may be a short wait!

And your alternatives are being rejected, but you are not taking no for an answer. So which shop do I get this box of free new smartphones from?

My son's experience is different in his part of London, Clapham was very well served with mobile coverage, in fact one day he sent me a screenshot and the download speed was something around 80mbps. I bemoaned the fact that the fastest I get on my partner's network was 8mbps, assuming that he...

Thank you for not wasting any further time on me. You seem to think you have the answer to everything, but it appears that you don't. You can't seem to get it into your head that we don't have the same circumstances or the same needs. My capacity tale has obviously blown a hole in the Utopia...

II don't need to buy a phone. I have one already that suits my needs. My dumb phone does not provide limited functionality, it gives exactly what I require, voice calls and text. There is also a camera should I require one and for some reason didn't want to use the better camera that I...

I get the feeling that you're only listening to yourself! I don't need internet on the go. I am more than happy to wait until I can get a decent connection through wifi. I don't need to Facebook pictures of my dinner, snapchat or whatever it is that is so important to people. Some time ago...

I use Photobucket for snapshots to put on the net. The camera is set to auto and I just point and click. I wouldn't put anything worthwhile on the net. I have nothing to prove.

Yes by all means, although I am not getting grumpy. This conversation started with me mentioning some things that I was doing/buying to add co-ords to my photos in the future. I wasn't actually trying to get myself converted, and all attempts have failed. People keep telling me how good...

Would a compact camera be acceptable to you for others to carry? What about an SLR if they are a keen photographer and want the quality? My other half uses her bike to get to the places to take the pictures.

Yes, the type of camera that I own.

I make no claims on my skill levels with a camera, but the images earlier in this thread were not taken with a smartphone, they were taken with a smartphone with a better lens from a point and shoot camera. The pictures you have picked in the last post are just random S95 macro pics from...

Is there a difference between predicting forward and forecasting then? Facebook? Never used it. I understand that the non-Luddites find it popular. Although the masthead anemometer and the handheld tell different stories, there is an important one, the story of the wind acting on all of your...

Interesting specs Dan. Thanks. I bought the anemometer because sometimes I can't believe how hopeless the forecasts are when I am out on the bike. One piece of software in particular made me give up on it when it predicted 66 mph winds and it was actually 6 mph. Usually though I suspect that...

Thanks a lot for this. We plan to weigh the Moulton and see if she can lift that up the steps. It really does need a bit of weight in the back to balance it out as the battery and motor are at the front. Of course the battery could be taken off, as could the ePod, but according to this thread...

Can someone tell me what the built in macro/telephoto lenses are like on these smart phones please? Focusing range? And what ISO range can be set? And aperture range? And shutter speed range? I am just curious how they compare to my Canon S95, which are: - Focal length -...

I may be a Luddite to some, but why get rid of perfectly good kit for a smartphone, which I will have to pay for through a subscription to the phone provider for the rest of my life? And when people drop that smartphone, and then are completely bu**ered without it, what then? Efficient? You...

...and the chain, sprockets, exposed cables? No, indoors is definitely the answer here. I wouldn't leave a bike of such value out in the elements.

Theft isn't the concern, it's the deterioration. The salt air eats things here! The shed is also upstairs!

This is very useful. I will copy the other half into it. Thanks
