Just bought a digital camera!
 

...And here it is:

It's a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ5.

Click here for the specs, and here for a review. :D


Only have it for a few hours, and so far I love it. Definitely recommend it if you're in the market for a low end SLR. Now I just need to get myself a larger capacity memory card, a tripod and maybe a polarizer filter and I'm set.


Here are some pics (only have to camera for a few hours now, so the quality isn't perfect, since I haven't messed around with the settings too much):



Testing the flash:

looks way better than mine :mrgreen: (mine was bought to be used as a company's camera, so I didn't had the choice to buy a slr)
congrats Nuno that's a very nice camera

Seems kinda good!

Interesting the 48x zoom, but never use it, the quality will suck ;) stay in the optical part and never use the digital zoom :)

Sweet camera Nuno. Have fun with it. :D

i know very very little about digital camera's, but this one looks good to me :)
also i like the shot along the neck (or whatever you call it in english) of ur bass...very arty :D

Nice camera :P Now we wait even more pics in WYST :D

lol, thanks. I actually didn't have enough money for it, but got it trough my cousin's company (where I've been working this month), so I had a €90 discount. :D



Yeah, I only use the optical zoom (those shots were just to test the digital zoom), but to be honest, I was expecting the quality loss to be worse than it is. :)





Thanks, I sure will. :mrgreen:



Thanks, and yeah, it's called neck. :) But the photo didn't come up very good, me thinks. I wasn't holding the camera steadly enough, and the lighting didn't help either... :bah:




Thanks, but I'm afraid I won't be able to contribute much for the WYST section. Virtualy no nice cars around here... :( Though there's a nice black/tan 355 about 400 meters away from my house. Time for a little walk. :mrgreen:




By the way, here are two more pics I took 15 minutes ago:

One thing: once you start getting serious (and it seem you are :) ), you'll never be "set". You'll keep wanting that better lens, better tripod, etc. :D

Hehe, so true. I can't get into photography stores anymore. Always end up wanting to buy something... :oops:


...Which was what I did yesterday. Bought a tripod and 512 MB Memory Card:

And after messing around with the settings a little bit more, pics with low ligh come up better now (not as much noise as before):

Still got a lot to learn though.
