Very good points and one's I will try to answer tomorrow.
We just had a lazy 2 hour sheet and forked lightening storm.

Time to test the new digi camera with a conventional film camera.
I Know the film camera won as it went seamlessly from one frame to the next (4 rolls of film to develope now, anyone know a good quick cheap lab [not T4] ?)
but the digital had a long time lag while writing to disk and I know I missed some goodies.
Here's a first try (hand held)
