It's a Fuji HS10, which I bought because: it has a long telephoto lens (28-720mm), it does manual focus, and the zoom is a manual zoom, not a whizz whirr button that doesn't do the exact lens length you want.
I was playing around with the camera the day after I received it, and took the following photos from the courtyard of the chateau at le Grand Pressigny.

It isn't the perfect camera by any means: it's slow to auto focus and takes a while to start up, and the image stabilisation is a bit weird (the camera clunks in your hand when the stabilisation is on) but for under £200 a bloke has to be happy.Simon
