I have started to experiment and - the zoom is amazing. I took it cross country jumping with the children and whilst it was unfamiliar being a new bit of kit the photos are great. At home I discovered another function. A digital zoom setting which multiplies by a factor of 40!<BR/>What do you think of the waterproof casing if I can still get my hands on one??<BR/><BR/>Many thanks also for the tip of the optical hood. I hope I am still in time for that.<BR/><BR/>MANY THANKS AGAIN :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-16733899292085558112008-07-04T13:49:00.000-04:002008-07-04T13:49:00.000-04:00Thanks for the camera advice~ Now I'll just have t...Thanks for the camera advice~ Now I'll just have to wait till dad's back and tell him♥<BR/>(He owes me a camera for giving mine away without acknowledging me *sweat*)<BR/><BR/>xxxx<BR/>-Amber飄飄https://www.blogger.com/profile/13540497473367375721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-67287565024468901302008-07-02T14:03:00.000-04:002008-07-02T14:03:00.000-04:00Love love love my Lumix!Love love love my Lumix!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-47638522675718770922008-07-02T11:30:00.000-04:002008-07-02T11:30:00.000-04:00Thanks for the tip...my husband spent about $400 o...Thanks for the tip...my husband spent about $400 on a digital camera last year and I can't stand it. My $200 digital from three years ago took WAY better pictures.

It's a similar boxy style as the Lumix; fits easily into the jeans pocket with no protruding lens. $379 at B&H. Long zoom range, and very high ASA. I am a pro photographer, with medium format backs, and honestly, the Fuji color rivals the Phase One. It's just that good. A+. <BR/><BR/>Photography should be fun. These tiny cameras keep the fun intact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-26674960659169346912008-07-02T08:20:00.000-04:002008-07-02T08:20:00.000-04:00I bought this exact camera a couple of months ago ...I bought this exact camera a couple of months ago and I have loved the convenience of the small size and quality of the images. Since this camera doesn't come with a viewfinder, would you suggest that your safari reader invest in the optional hood that you can buy to shield the LCD? It might be money well spent for a bright day on the plains.<BR/><BR/>Frank (PS--Loved the Fred Woodward post about the photos from Canton which is just up the road from my hometown of Jackson, MS.)frank_ezellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16022704587879936948noreply@blogger.com
