Nothing now Gel, just sit back and enjoy now mate, buy more bluray's etc
ha You remind me of how I used to be, never completely satisfied, until now.
Oh just a note on the photo's you put up of your calibrated Tv, I put the same movies on, The grey, Avatar etc still framed it and "not" to my surprise my picture was pretty much the same shot
if any differences I'd say your's had a slight edge to the depth of the picture and again a slight depth to the colours, overall not a great deal in it but I put that down to my Tv being almost 7 years old but still going strong!! jase fox

Nice to see you being sensible here gel.
Don't spend money unless you really think you need to. That's the only way you can keep a check on your condition.

I am still tempted by a camera and the 11 inch MacBook Air though! :wall:

Gel. Don't bother with the MBA 11". You'll bee sending it back.
If you're not a keen photographer, cameras can be an expensive toy. Convinced my phone cam is rubbish in the past I've gone DSLR to Bridge to Compact and hardly used any.
Cameras as seem to be where big efforts are being made with Smartphones.
A friend end and if went to see a concert the other week. My 4S cam really struggled with the zoom on low light, her 5S was quite a lot better.
Perhaps something like this would go well with your iphone

I do agree it would be nice to take a good camera on your holiday. Can you borrow one ?

Yep, I am going whale watching and swimming in the Blue Lagoon, so a nice new camera would be nice. Thanks for the link, how does that work then? I haven't seen one before. Ta
I found a cheap one here:

It connects wirelessly to your phone and operated via an iOS app.
It can be mounted on the phone, but can even be used detached. So if you haven't go a good view your can hold it at arm s length and see the image on your phone screen.
They also do the QX100 which is £399 (ouch)
Im thinking about it, but will wait to see what the IP6 offers.

Don't lsten to him! For travel you will need at a minimum ...
It's lightweight (for travel), takes a Hasselblad CFV-50 digital back (or roll-film backs up to 6x9).
I'd recommend an Alpa / Schneider 75mm as well as the wide angle shown above ...
Or you could just 'slum it' with an old Plaubel Makina 67 or Hasselblad 503CW.
You don't want to 'slum it' do you? All those gorgeous fjords.

Definitely don't want to slum it! I am going on a 5 star American cruise ship. Not sure what cabin I have yet though, I find out when I'm on the ship. I have been to Norway before and the scenery is amazing! That was on Queen Elizabeth.Those cameras look a tad out of my price range.
