New Camera

My wonderful family gave me a combined Birthday and Father's Day gift- a brand new digital camera.

It was a difficult decision, but I bought a Panasonic Lumix that you see here. The reviews are very complementary with an admonition to make sure you read the instructions! There are many settings that can be adjusted to optimize the photos.

But if there was one reason to buy this camera it is the five letters on the lens- Leica. I have always wanted one ever since my high school days. This is about the best way to own one too. One of the online reviews singled this camera out as a great value because of it. But a great price with a coupon at Costco helped too!

That's why you see this interesting packaging. Premium cameras packaged in large point of sale bubble packaging was a bit strange to me. Even the Nikon DSLRs were packaged that way. But one can appreciate it as a way to discourage and defeat shoplifting.

In the coming posts look for test photos and videos from this great new camera.
