The amount of people who own digital cameras is growing at an enormous rate in the UK, on average 1000 digital cameras are sold a day. So, it is no wonder that we are all slowly going broke, with the bloody manufacturer's swimming in our hard earned dosh.
Anyhow, I am one of the stupid people who handed over one hundred and fifty of my English notes for this piece of metal with a little screen on the back.
Not wanting my money to go to waste, I hastily gave a hefty donation to the 'sun cream for donkeys' appeal, which is a charity to provide sun cream for donkeys so that they avoid sunburn. In fact, I am the co-founder and main donor.
After I made this donation I set about using my camera, I took about one hundred and fifty pictures, all of which were high quality of course, none of fit birds walking in the street.
I returned home, with a memory card full of images. To view them I transferred them all to my computer. And then what happened? (Pointless me asking you since, one, I already know the answer, and two, how the flaming heck would you know. That is only unless you stalk me and know my secrets).
The batteries went dead. Yes after one day they had less life in them than what is in George Bush's skull. I thought that it was a bit strange how they went dead so quickly, so on the phone I got to Nikon, who said it would have been the transferring of the images to computer that would have drained the batteries. They suggested getting a power adaptor to use when transferring images instead of using batteries.
So, like a good boy (man, I am 18 and have the parts to prove it) I listened to what they said and invested in a power adaptor. A Nikon Coolpix adaptor that is for use in the Nikon Coolpix 700/800/900/950 digital cameras.
The adaptor set me back thirty-nine quid. However I quickly recuperated the cost of these from the number of batteries that I saved.
When using the adaptor, all you have to remember to do is take out the batteries from the camera. Then plug the adaptor in and Bob's your uncle (or maybe your auntie after a sex change). Anyhow, the camera works the same; you can take pictures etc using the adaptor instead of batteries.
When I transfer my pictures to my computer, I can take my time, because I am not worrying about how much battery I am using (instead, how much electricity from the mains I am using!).
The adaptor has got a transformer built into it, so it will convert the 240volts from the mains into the 3volts for the camera. Magic.
The adaptor is specified for use on the above cameras. However my friend says it also works on most Fuji cameras, which is an added bonus.
It comes with a standard one years manufacturer's garantee, which is good, however I can not see you needing to use it.
Surprisingly, that’s all there is to say about this adaptor, except for the fact that it works well. Very well indeed. That’s it, I will shut up...
not another word...
or sound...
or squeak...
as quiet as George Bush's supporters are...
OK then I'll stop...
now.
