Neato, new and shinier photos to come. - 14:33
So after much deliberation I finally decided to get a new digital camera
yesterday. Most of what I use a camera for is photos while doing events or
outdoors doing something, thus a small easily pocketed model is a good
thing. I notice often I have a lot of blue induced by shaking in my photos so
getting good image stabilisation in a compact camera was the plan. Also a
really short auto focus time and shutter release time was a good target. I was
pretty much settled on getting a Panasonic camera for a bunch of reasons. In
the end I decided on the Panasonic DMC LZ5 to replace my 3.5 year old Canon
PowerShot A60.
The camera was ordered yesterday from a mob in Adelaide,
Camerastore.com.au and arrived at
work in Canberra around an hour ago. More details and photos and stuff to come
once some playing has happened. I am sure my sister will be happy as I intend
to give her the old camera (she does not have a digital camera) and it is
still a nice sturdy camera.
