FAVORITE PHOTO SHOT WITH THIS CAMERA: "Christmas bush fires" in 2001, around Nowra

Name of product: 

Casio QV-5500SX

Approximate date of purchase: 

I bought it second-hand, around 2000

My Review 

The best part of this little 1.3MP camera is its "timer," which lets you take remote photos at a set interval. I miss that with all the fancy cameras I got since, including the Canon EOS 500D!

Every so, now and again I take it out of the mothballs specially for this!

Thanks for taking the time to share your comments - some of those older cameras are great to keep around and use for certain occasions!
