Can I use the camera or do I have to wait till tomorrow to get an SD card?

so hows you getting on with the new toy TP1 ?

a few vids are starting to emerge shot in Thailand . . . it's looking really nice quality footage from this drone.

those buffalo are like . . . . Wooaaa! what the fark !

^ Saturn - notoriously difficult with a bridge cam . . . i've tried many times.

It is possible though to get reasonable images (disk & rings) but you need multiple stacked images at the right exposure for best results.

But it s a scam as the birds are trained to return to the cage after a little while.

not quite true . . a scam it may be, but the birds (usually Scaly-breasted Munia's or Tree Sparrows) once released are gone like the wind. They're wild birds, very common, very numerous throughout most of the country & very easily trapped en masse . . individually they're not 'trained to return' at all. Hope you don't mind me just clearing that one up.

Anyone fancy a piece of Nikon rocking horse $hit rare as heck glass ?
