New Panasonic FZ-18K Lumix
I’ve finally decided to pull the trigger on a new camera. I can’t tell you how long I’ve put it off.
My inherent thriftiness gives me the shakes when I consider buying something that I know . . . . know . . . . will be worth half its purchase price within about 2 months.
This is a little ironic considering several months ago I purchased an iPhone with the understanding that one day [uhh . . . today actually], a better version of that phone would be selling for half what I shelled out for it.
Authors note: I threw up a little in my mouth as I typed that.
Regardless, I finally eased my ferocious grip on my wallet and brought home a new Panasonic Lumix FZ-18K. I’ve always like the Lumix line of cameras because of a larger than normal zoom and very crisp photo.
This camera leaves little to be desired as well. Most professional reviews are positive minus some less than stellar comments on low light photographs. I haven’t yet experienced this problem.
This could be due to the fact that, one . . . I haven’t taken many [if any] low light photos so far. Or two, I’m about as amateur as it gets when reviewing digital cameras. Lets face it, I get ice cream headache as soon as someone even mutters the term aperture or exposure.
So my new camera courting phase begins.
The ol’ girl’s finally starting to show her age.
