Ship's Cat:
Please post any topics relating to cameras, ship photography and post processing here - whether digital or traditional film formats. You can post topics on processing software issues, as well as ask for or pass on any ship photography hints, tips and advice you may like to share.
Maybe you are considering a purchase and want to canvass opinion on a certain brand of camera, or maybe you have questions to ask about exposure, or post processing. Maybe you have experiences - good or bad - to pass on. If it is ship photography-related, then this is the forum to post your query or advice in.
Among the vast membership, there are bound to be people who will have the answer to any question you ask. :-)

I have been doing some research on compact scopes/monoculars for shore-to-ship viewing (max. approx. 1.5miles/2.4km). Someone suggested I try and stick to the 10x25 range, if I want to be able to read the name on a ship coming into the harbour.
Here is what I have found so far. Any thoughts?
This from Zeiss:

Or this, which is labelled as a Birding Scope:

And then there's this one (the ratio is lower but is has such 007-appeal!):

Hi,
does anyone have any comments about the new Fuji Finepix S9600 Zoom ?
I am about to swap from film to digital, and like the look of this camera as it has a wide angle(28mm), and quite decent zoom. I have always used separate lenses on my film SLR, but like the idea of the 'all-in-one' package.
I have read the reports on the Panasonic Lumix elsewhere, and will probably add that to my short-list.
many thanks
Simon Palmer:
I hope to shortly upgrade my Canon Hotshot digital camera to a Canon digital SLR. I already have a manual Canon SLR dating from the late 1990s along with several zoom and telephoto lenses. Will I be able to use these lenses on a Digital camera or are they all obsolete? Any advice would be much appreciated
Allan Mears:
If they are Canon EOS autofocus lenses then yes they will work fine. If they are Sigma, Tamron etc. some do not work without rechipping.
