I fitted some new dinner-plate-size disc brakes onto one of my bikes recently... when I saw this design of superbike disc brake, I just had to get them :

LOL, thanks gola.
I'm thinking of entering the bug-through-a-leaf or one of the other leafy pics, but maybe the bug one has got the best shot (pun?) of getting close to some of the other bril pics already entered.

It's a lot of experimentation with the cam settings to get the best out of the P1i. Usually I take plenty and faff around with the settings as I go.

As regards these, again I had to delete many, many pics (close to 70!) to narrow it down to these 5 or 6 nature pics. (a lot were blurred in my pursuit of a decent pic or two, either by me moving/shaking or not getting the cam to focus properly).
This involved a lot of patience with the macro mode (as it doesn't always zoom on the area that I'm trying to get it to focus on, and sometimes I'm simply too close..), and trying different light settings, including use of the sharp natural light that we're currently blessed with today etc.

They were all taken in the back garden; I must've looked strange doing all these close-up pics with a cellphone amongst the garden flora; wonder if one of the neighbours were watching...LOL.

I still think that the N73 and 6500 Slide's 3.2mp cam can easily hold its own against the P1i, particularly with the default/auto settings.
But the greater reange of settings options on the P1i really comes into its own, particularly the macro mode, if one has the time and patience to fiddle with settings when you're out n' about.

@ Hobbster:
Nah, they've only got a handful of real ones left in stock already and unfortunately at this early stage they don't have any demo ones for people to fiddle with; maybe in the weeks ahead they'll have one put aside for demos n' stuff. Will try again then.
