My new camera and the strange world beyond the window





I'm so excited! I am grinning! I Took a trip to London today and got my new Camera! The Panasonic DMC fz20! A whole host of features including but not limited to: 5 mega pixel CCD, 12 times optical zoom, anti shake stabilisation, full manual control, manual focus option, and a whole host of bells and whistles! Did I mention I was excited? I'm grinning from ear to ear just thinking about the things I will be able to photograph with this baby!

On another note... The world seemed very strange to me. Like a picture slightly out of focus. Or maybe a better way to describe it is like this: You walk into a room. Something is different. Something has changed but you just can't place your finger on what it is. Well, it was like that. The world seemed differnt to me but I can't explain how. Maybe I have shifted worlds. Or, maybe, just maybe, I am just plain crazy :-D

Fz20 is my current dream camera coz of the great lens and tonnes of feature at affordable price. So how much do u pay for this camera?

Martin said...

Yeah, it's a great camera :-)

I got a really good deal. It retails for £450 I got a 512 memory card and the camera all for £470 :-) It's a really great looking camera. But yeah, it's quite big! I need to get a carry case for this! I'll try to pick that up on Wed and a second battery!

Hey, it's your dream camera? Go make the dream come true! Buy buy buy! lol

Hope you can get it sometime :-)

Thanks both for your comments!

I've been longing for a digicam for long: One day in autumn I got a hold on one and I shot myself crazy. That day I knew that I need an own ASAP. But this one here seems to be a dream, out of range. I'm thinking about one that is about 300 Euros. Not the one I linked on my blog. Some inbetween what size is concerned. I wait until Christmas is over and hope that the prices go down slightly in the New Year.

Keep us posted about the mirror world you discovered. :-)

Yeah, digi cams are a wonder! Hopefully you can pick up the digicam you have your eye on in the Jan sales! Good luck!!! :-D

This is the hell of a digicam! I don't want to know how expensive it is, do I? Yes, I do. Gotta check amazon ...

Martin said...
