Aperture is a modest 2.8-8.0, which I think is not bad for a bulky P&S, and when using CHDK firmware, thats bumped out to F11
I havent really tried any of the other features as yet, but will do in the next couple months I bought a cheapy chinese branded hotshoe flash from ebay, was only $15 and arrived within 5 days, will throw up some photos this evening

First tip, don't trust auto or you will want to throw it out. Put it at least on "P" and have your iso on about 200 for EVERYTHING! Then when your ready to go advanced, switch it on full manual! Anyways, jake (Most of you have met him) finally replaced his pulsar with 320000kms with this thing. He was going to get a SP23 but decided he wanted to be more luxurious haha. This aint the official shoot, was just a coincident i had my camera on me.

But why 200? Because if you go on 1000 or so, your images will look grainy, and nobody likes grainy images Catch my drift? Just change your shutter speed to compensate for this. So now i'll explain them haha Shutter speeds work in normal time. Aka, 30 is 30 secs, 1/125 is exactly what it says, its 125th of a second. So, 30 is a slow or long shutter speed and 1/125 is faster. A slow shutter speed (30 or so secs) will keep your shutter open for that long, So if your shutter is open for 30 secs during sunny days, what's gonna happen? It's going to go white because of so much light! So, keep the slow shutter speeds for the dark and keep the fast for the light. Ok, i'm ranting, i could go all day and i haven't even started on apertures. BUT, if you have it on "P" it's still auto and it will determine what you need, but keep your settings in tact (ISO, image quality etc) whereas straight auto changes all that for you, and auto aint smart and will make some of your images poo. By all means, use auto in fairly straight forward images, but for photography, no. You will get it over time, i only started photography about 3 years ago.

Nice shot ben!
Seeing as I forgot to charge my battery for last nights photo night, I went out early this morning and shot some photos at River Heart Parklands here in Ipswich, and my buddy luke (along with Tash & his wife Sarah) jumped in the car late this even and ventured back out to the Gateway & then to William Jolly Bridge in Brisbane, spun some wool, had a good time. Some of the photos from today: IMG_3248 by marcs_sp20, on Flickr IMG_3260 by marcs_sp20, on Flickr IMG_3287 by marcs_sp20, on Flickr IMG_3353 by marcs_sp20, on Flickr IMG_3362 by marcs_sp20, on Flickr IMG_3368 by marcs_sp20, on Flickr IMG_3374 by marcs_sp20, on Flickr IMG_3385 by marcs_sp20, on Flickr IMG_3390 by marcs_sp20, on Flickr IMG_3393 by marcs_sp20, on Flickr

My little brother brought round his new Hilux SR5 he picked up this afternoon, and seeing I had the camera gear in the car, decided to take a couple snaps while also having a go with running round with the Flash I will definitely be looking at getting a soft box
