New camera

11th August, 2006     Life,

So, following up from my last post about looking around for a digital camera, yesterday I bought my first one.

It is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1. [Reviews: DPReview and DCResource reviews.

So far it seems a great camera, if only let down by the fact it takes a non-standard battery. While I don't think this will end up being a big problem, it needs to be seen when i get into a snapping frenzy.

I have taken some sample shots to not only show the image quality of the camera, but to practice using it. There are both larger and scaled down version in the folder.
