Portrait: when you are not here
Published Thursday September 14, 2006 · Permalink
Less than a month ago I bought a Panasonic DMC-TZ1 digital camera. Basically, it is a small ‘point and shoot’, but with a very nice 10x optical zoom. Not really a substitute for the Nikon D70 (our main camera these days), but with the advantage of having it with me most of the time.
It has quite a decent image quality, nice image stabilizer (really needed when using as a telephoto) and good screen. The flash is a bit flaky but, hey, it is tiny. Battery life is quite good and I really like the small charger.
The photo below belongs to the ‘first roll’, taken in the carpark at work (30 metres from my office).
