New Toy!
Intrepidette got me a new digicam (thanks a mil again, hon), and I've been happily testing it out around the house. Some shots (reduced to 25% of original resolution):

The neatest part of my room. Dark patches on the wall are the reminders of my embarassing youth (ER diagrams on the wall?? Total geekdom.).

With 6x optical zoom. No graininess. Excellent anti-shake as well!


Macro mode... gets all the dust motes as well. Shouldn't have used flash here, but it was on auto.

Night mode on a tripod. Can't tell without a more vibrant night scene, but looks great as well.

Vivid mode. Nice contrast and balance.


I so need to get some outdoor shots.

Is it the Panasonic DMC-FZ7? Were you using the auto mode for the first photo (pretty dark)?

Wanting to get a new digicam too, any idea if it is cheaper in HK?

jiajia: it's the DMC LZ5. All were on auto settings for my first run... it looks slightly brighter before I reduced the size. I've come to the conclusion nothing is cheaper in HK. ;)

hannah: use your returns from WC2006. what's the ROI like?

skeptic: tks :)
