Well not generally in the usual mechanical sense. However, they do have a range of pre-settings, like landscape, portrait, macro etc.


I've had a S20 Pro Fuji FinePix for years & literally shot/used it to death ( 12,000 + images ).It's been an absolutely brilliant piece of kit in all its modes & i'm getting it repaired for very little. I've used it professionally in my work & as a general all round camera. ( I studied textiles and printmaking & photography was a large part of that )


I think the best thing to do is buy a camera that feels right for you at the right price. I've met people who go out and spend an absolute fortune on a top of the range Nikon and are petrified of taking the thing out anywhere. A camera is an image making tool & it needs to work for you. Don't get swept up on all the gee-gaaws only to never use or understand them.


The technology has also developed at such a pace that even the less expensive cameras like this Fuji have features and resolution ( 16 mega pixels...wow ) that were very expensive or not even possible until recently.


Finally it's worth setting up a project with your new camera and working through the instruction manual feature-by-feature. It's only then will the camera feel dead right to use.


Have fun though & show us the results when you get some.

    • The post office were competent for my purposes when I was presented with a similar list.  But I did suggest the OP check with the actual person who requires certification, and not me or some bloke call Ianr from the internet.
    • OP is wrapped in such hyperbole that it takes a couple of reads to extract the key point, which is exactly what you say it is. Obviously if the tickets were issued before the signs went up then they should be reversed. If OP is really concerned about it then they should also email the parking enforcement team to ask them to cancel those tickets themselves instead of waiting for the drivers to challenge them.
    • They're obviously not competent to witness the documents in the OP's case.  The list of required qualifications looks to me similar to the Land Registry's requirement connected with a TR1. Vladi, from my own experience I'd not rely on email inquiries of potentials.   The response I got an email to the solicitors in Melbourne Grove was from another of their branches and was inconsequential.  From William Bailey, addressed to their published  reception or info mailbox and saying I could drop in at very short notice, I'm afraid I got no response  at all, even after also mentioning that  I'd be looking for assistance with a will in the near future and expected to be asking them.  From an online search i did note quite a few in the Camberwell area.  In the end though I was able to rely on an online verification, arranged by one of the other parties.
    • Hard to get evidence for what has happened, but going forward, get cctv evidence of trespass and any interference, ask you other neighbours to as well. Contact solicitor and report to police and council. get more plants to replace those destroyed
