a new member

A new member arrived today and thanks to Alex for tolerating my interest. I was looking for a camera to bring with me for holiday. So instead of buying a box standard point and shoot camera I searched for some extra functions and the Panasonic FZ7 ticked the boxes or shall I say I hope it did . I will still use the Canon for outdoors but for daily use I would be carrying the Lumix.


The features are:
-12x optical zoom Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens
-Advanced Mega Optical Image Stabilizer
-more compact form which is easy to carry around.
-6 megapixels CCD
-joystick allowing easier manual control on focusing.
-2.5" LCD monitor allows various styles of playback and remains bright even in low-light conditions.


You probably think there are 10 megapixel camera these days but I am not too concern about this either since my Canon is only 3 megapixels but gave much better photos and provided precise and quicker performance for being a DSLR. It's the heart of the camera that matters which includes the sensor and the lens used. With the Lumix, I trust the Leica.

Mine is FZ7 too! It's a great camera, easy to carry, and I adore using it on manual control. I won't need to upgrade unless its another Lumix, like G1, wich is a bigger brother (but not so big)
Peace!

Yes, I love this camera too.I was looking at buying a new digital for my holiday next month. I already have a Canon EOS DSLR but I want a smaller one.
Thanks for dropping by.
