If you google canon ixus 870 is, you will find the site"trusted reviews".  This gives a review of the camera and may be of some use.

I have 8 packets of 10 sheets of 35mm slide archive. Each sheet holds 20 slides. Is anyone still using 35mm slide film? You can have these for free except for the postage.

I have been toying with the idea of changing my fuji finepix for a Canon Powershot SX10is.  Is there anyone coming to the Discussion weekend with one of these who would let me experiement  with for the duration of the weekend.  I know its a lot to expect but I would like to try before I buy and there doesn't seem to be any other way.  I will ofcourse provide my own card.

I have an SLR Canon and the  Canon 900ti. They 900ti is a brilliant little camera which fits in your jeans pocket easily, takes good macro and the foliage setting is great. I would recommend this point and shoot to anyone. Also ideal for nights out as its so small.

I have long term loan of a Sanyo PLC SU50S LCD projector. Yellow and some greens are showing too bright. I've googled the problem but no-one has mentioned it.

Any idea what is wrong or how to sort it out?

[Maggi Young]

Hi Mark

We are signed is as Maggi but it is Ian here.

Press the menu button on the projector and search the screen for the colour settings/balance option.
Clicking on that should allow you to adjust the balance to suit your needs.
Use a suitable picture to adjust with.
Most of the digital projectors come optimised for showing DVDs and films and so need some adjustment to give us the best results with plant pictures.

cheers
ian

Thanks Ian. I'll set it up now and see what happens. Should I set it using a photo that is wrong?

[Maggi Young]

Yes, Mark , that's a good move, then check of course with various others showing wide colour ranges to test.
