This was a special week for me. After months of waiting , my baby finally crossed the Atlantic and came home. I now own my very own camera..finally! A brand new panasonic lumix DMC FZ50. As my friend handed him over reluctantly ,my first impression was ..WOW! This camera sure looked solid. Although i was worried about the noise issue that is painted over the internet, i knew that if handled well, this camera could produce stunning shots. I was not wrong.

These are my very first shots with the fz50... I quickly realised that this camera would need some getting used to. The vast array of settings need to be mastered to get the best results...and it will take some time. This is not a point and shoot camera that you can carry around in yr shirt pocket. However, my preliminary trials produced excellent results...three cheers to Pana and the amazing Leica lens!

I christened him FIGO

  4. @kuku ...the cam rocks man! the lens is just outta this world. i can only imagine how good yr lens is...the noise is not too bad actually...quite a few settings to play around with...so it will take some time for me to figure out the optimal one.. overall one of the best non SLRs i have used... some of the shots cud even rival a D70...but u need to get the settings right...in many ways this is a pure photographer's cam...

    i will use it some more n then post a detailed review.

  8. Great photos! Congrats on your new baby!

    We do not get to enjoy parakeets like this in the wild. We only get to see them in the petstores.
