Say hello to Smudge!

[gse123]

Our lovely cat! Just testing out my new ultra-compact: Ricoh Capilo R6. I use a Canon 350D for planned photography and at work, but I needed something smaller to carry around for spur of the moment shots. It has a 7x optical zoom which is very good for an camera this size. Only slight negative i'd say is it generates quite a bit of noise at fairly low ISO settings, but I can live with that.

What a beautiful cat!

Guess who will be running the house in no time?!

Greetings Smudge! Aren't you a good looking British Blue?

Gareth I'm a cat man myself! I'll have to post pictures of LightyLiu (Birman) and Snowman (Ragdoll) sometime.

A fine beast indeed!:biggrin: The Caplio R6 is among the top compact cameras of the moment. I'm looking for a replacement for my Fuji F30 myself after my son broke the lens last weekend... I'm looking for a second hand F30 on eBay. The F30 is the best high & low ISO compact at the moment, I believe. Great battery life, excellent finish.

Gareth, I'm not trying to hijack your thread but I wanted to share these photos-

This is my Birman LightyLiu. She's a retired Champion, a Bluepoint, and a real dear. She is coming up on her seventh birthday but she still plays like a kitten

This is my Ragdoll Snowman. He's 4, 20 pounds, a somewhat rare Lilacpoint Bicolour, show quality male that loves everybody but especially the ladies! :smile: He doesn't care for cameras though as his eyes are photosensitive.

A beautiful Russian Blue?

A beautiful Russian Blue?

No, the jowls are too fat. My money's on the Brit!

Thanks Gareth!

Is Smudge pedigree? Where did you get him/her? I love the copper and orange eyed Brits and actually thought about getting one a few years ago and may still do it one day. I have a picture at home of a striking jet black British Blue with piercing orange eyes! One of the most visually arresting cats I've ever come across.

She is a pedigree cat... not sure where she was from exactly, as my housemate adopted her from his sister about 5 years ago. I have her classification certificates somewhere. She is a lovely cat!

That's a nice looking trio of cats, gents. My two aren't pedigreed, but they seem to get along without it just fine. :lol:
