Thread: Ahh Women !

Yep I'm hearing ya, D2 takes us everywhere off road no problems, buy a D3 and it becomes SWMBO car and only a few medium tracks,says if I want a serious 4wd buy another D2 ( with my $$ of course) . take the D3 down the Gibb river highway, SWMBO scratches the car and now it's just a 4wd.

The $$ I saved up are now OUR $$ for our next holiday.

We wouldn't have them any other way

Cheers Ean

Rangieman,

It's pretty simple to set up the nikons into a point and shoot mode. Set that up for her, and then gradually gradually she might explore the other options?

But if it's a D810 you got her, forget it and I'll buy it (the camera) off you cheap!

Yeah set it up in point and shoot for her But guess what she wants to use all the other features which seem all to hard now
Oh its a d3200 .
But the camera a side .
Thinking you know someone is just silly

" Women - love them, live with them etc etc, but NEVER ever ever try to understand them!"

You are not responsible for others' reactions... hang on to it, use it and ask her if it's ok to borrow her camera seriously! then ask her occasionally to take some pics with you in them with the Landy...(having set it up prior)....then curiosity will get the better of her and she'll ask you what this and that does...etc... compliment her on the photos etc... softly softly and all that

EDIT: perhaps, just perhaps, she may have been dropping hints about what she would like as a present... and it wasn't a camera... hence the reaction... Rule 1: as your marriage grows in years.. you have to listen harder and strategize :-)

What would you like for your birthday love?

Nothin' , I've got everything I want....I don't want any more jewellery....I don't want perfume or sexy undies.

Happy Birthday Love as he hands her a card....

Is that all I got? Just a card?

First available opportunity, dial inter flora for urgent flower delivery.

Flowers arrive amid smiles etc.

How much did they cost?

$xxx.....

What a waste.....why spend so much money on flowers.

my old bush mate "trucker" calls them 'funny cattle'.....I nod knowingly.

Give her your camera that she likes to use and you take the new one. Simple, really.

Women are like old Jaguars

Good to look at

Good to be seen with

indestructible rear

Superb ride and handling

Crap electrics

Cost a fortune to keep

Always look better if someone else owns it

Always have issues
