Hi there,
Yesterday, I picked up a Fuji FinePix S6500FD, a case and 2 GB SANDISK memory card for £200. I had been meaning to pick up a camera with a half decent zoom etc on it for quite a while. I'm also looking forward to getting more into the nitty-gritty of photography - eg aparture time etc, hopefully this camera will do the job quite nicely.
Obviously, having bought the camera on impulse, now is probably not the right time to be asking, but is the S6500 a reasonable camera?
I've got a few concerns regarding corrupted pictures etc. I've had two so far, in taking about 70 pictures, is this normal, or could I be looking at a faulty camera or memory card here? When I preview the pictures on the camera its self, they appear fine, when I view them on my PC, they are corrupt and different parts of the photo are displaced.
I took a photo of a steam train passing through my local train station (On the ECML/GNER Route). It was going so fast that I only managed to get one photo of it.
Unfortunately this was also corrupted, openable, but the different parts of the photo were mis-located. While moving it from my memory card to my PC (using PCs inbuilt xd card reader), the file became completely corrupt, and I am unable to open it full stop.
Are there any decent applications out there to repair corrupted jpgs etc?
Cheers
