Get your dream home here

Advantages: Online database of houses for sale and rent
Disadvantages: SLOW IN REMOVING SOLD PROPERTIES

...A large database of homes for sale and to rent in Scotland used by all the leading estate agents and rental agent. The site is fairly easy to navigate, although I do find it tiresome when putting in for example East Dunbartonshire the requirement to tick those areas you wish to view.Subsequently I just tick the all options. Buying I have personally used this area when searching for property and although it is up to date in as far as houses which have just come on the market, a house I was looking for on the estate agents website actually appeared on S1 HOMES first. It is somewhat tardy at removing houses which have been sold . I dont mean in the last week or 2 either. A house I got a schedule for in May and was sold in May is still on the database. Therefore you might think you have found the house of your dreams only to...

Nikon Coolpix S1

Advantages: Small, compact and very easy to use!
Disadvantages: Old, not as good as more recent cameras.

...Nikon Coolpix S1. I bought this camera from Curries via their website for £169 back in 2006, so it is relatively old now, and in terms of the advance in cameras, is almost an antique! You can now pick one up for a lot cheaper, around £65, but I think they're being slowly phased out, so if you want one, get it quick. When I first bought it, 5.1 Megapixels was considered relatively high, whereas now, anything towards 9.1 or 10.1 megapixels is becoming the new bench level. However, unless you are a really keen photographer, you won't really notice too much difference. What attracted me to this camera was it's looks. It is a lovely little camera, and in black it looks stylish and sleek, whilst also being very compact; there's no extruding lens or other parts sticking out, so the camera is very flat which is extremely helpful as it can...

The Canon Poweshot S1 IS

Advantages: Powerful Zoom, Electronic Viewfinder (EVF), standard batteries
Disadvantages: 3meag pixels, Electronic Viefinder!!

...?purist? view! I considered buying a digital SLR but was put off by the price etc. I had been looking at large zooms for a while but I didn?t like the look of any and I had only just bought my A70. I then saw the Canon Powershot S1 IS in a magazine; it had 10x optical zoom, image stabilisation and 30fps video mode. It was all too tempting and soon got the better of my wallet!! I found it on the web for a reasonable price so it had to be done. When I received it I liked the look of it and although feeling awkward initially it began to fall into place soon enough. The zoom is fantastic as it can get you right into the action or the scene and with image stabilisation (IS) you don?t have to worry about keeping totally still as this takes care of it for you. The first time you turn on IS it feels a bit strange looking through...
