Post by: weston on July 04, 2006, 06:05 PM: yes, its the one that bill & dave gave me, i rode it a couple of times when i first got it, tried a 360 & the back end folded, took it to my dads for straightening & he told me the metal had serious stress problems & if i try it again make sure someone is there to ring the ambulance, it was very hard to bend it back without snapping due to the stress in the metal. its now made up of scrounged or budget parts as its going on my spare room wall :)

Post by: Wayne Ryder on July 05, 2006, 03:12 PM: It's not a Samsung, in fact I'm damned if I can remember the make now, but I should think the innards of a lot of digital cameras are all the same. As with the little MP3 players.
They're completely useless for BMX use, too much delay and no viewfinder. In days when the light's at its best, you can't see the LCD screen. The pics themselves are, as you say, hit & miss. I've taken some beauts, but also some blurred cack.

Post by: Wayne Ryder on July 05, 2006, 08:51 PM: I've corrected my camera-setting masterclass post to read: "In our case, it was set to Macro or Close-Up (a flower icon) instead of regular and long-range (a mountain-type icon)."
Makes much more sense now. No idea what went wrong with the post, I'm sure I typed it in properly this afternoon.
