Title: New camera...
Post by: madgaz on November 30, 2007, 09:13:53 pm
...yeah yeah. I know. This is a car forum but TOUGH ;D

Well my good old camera has been written off by the insurance company :o
(It was a Kodak DX6490 that developed a fault with the scroll button)

So...in replacement...I have a Panasonic FZ18 8)
Not quite a Digital SLR but not a bad bridging camera to start with I guess :-\

Time to learn how to take photographs now I guess :-\
Is anybody into photography?
Can you reccomend any good sites/forums to look at?
Reccomend a good tripod maybe?

Manfrotto are the creme da la creme tripods mate,but expensive.As to joining a camera club the local one is good advice but also look up Panasonic FZ18 clubs on the net  ;)
