Maybe it's time we invested in a new camera...

After snapping happily for some years with normal digital compact cameras, and producing some pretty shoddy results, we'd assumed naturally that this was due to a lack of "mad camera skillz".
However, a quick go on our friend's posh camera would prove otherwise - you can press the button and it actually takes a photo - you don't have to wait whilst it thinks about it, pauses for breath, then captures a blurry image of the back of the now bored child's head as they wander away.
Time for some shopping;-)
