my camera thanks you for the compliment..I just point and shoot..

I have a Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 it has a 10x optical zoom and a 3.5" 2x disk drive....I've owned it about 4 years...a bit outdated but works like a charm..

Sure does ! I've a Sony DSC- P-7, 3.2 mega pixels it got a zoom but it's !#@$ useless and I have to use a magnifying glass under the lens


Oh and it's got this on it what ever any of it means ? 3x 1=8-24mm 1:28 - 5.6

I've had it for a year, it cost over 300 pounds and is useless, having said that maybe it's me not using it properly.

Many thanks,

Marcus

I paid about $550.00 for mine, and then two weeks later it sold for $250.00 at another store ...but i can't complain..its got a lot of bells and whistle's and its paid for itself over the years..I've mainly used it to take pictures of stuff to sell on Ebay to earn money to buy WW2 medals.. ..I like the fact that it uses a 3.5" disk..I can take pictures then just remove the disk and put it into the computer and start downloading...

My comments:

1) I have the exact IAB twins, silver and bronze, 100% original and very detailed badges.
2) Richard, can you post some tips for us on taking good shots? I just purchased a macro lens for my camera, and am trying to learn how to use it. What lighting do you use, is the background important etc.

I'm way out of my league on giving photographic advice.. I just pose my subject and shoot away...I take most of my pictures in my living room with the overhead light on...the good thing about digital camera's is, that if the picture doesn't come out the way you want it, you can erase it and keep trying until you get it right..that's the way i do it..trial and error...although one piece of advice i can give, is to use a background that will show off the piece you are trying to shoot..sorry i can't be more help...Like i said before I just aim and the camera does all the work..

Nice IAB's guys.

Similar hinge catch assemblies can be found on Coastal Artillery badges who the maker is not known but if has been found similar IAB with maker marks '4' then we can assume that this type on CAB's are from the same maker?

Here one from my collection:
