Digital Hand Mixer
I had a digital camera Olympus C-725 (3 Mpixels, Zommer x8). OK for simple holiday photos, landscapes, but showed its limits in the case a bit difficult: developing slow, risky in low light, poor quality picture in low light or moving subjects, firmware bug . . . . I bought one 20 days ago Panasonic Lumix camera on eBay DZ50 (€ 306 with leather case, a 2 GB SD memory card, a second battery and a UV filter). It's not an SLR, but for me a bridge is better suited: close to a reflective quality, a little less bulky, large zoom (x12, 35 to 410 mm) without having to carry two goals as in the For a reflex. But above all it performs with many opportunities for a budjet well below that of an SLR + 2 lenses . . . . zoom ring on the lens: great! is much faster, precise and pleasant as the buttons, front / rear of the compact zooms and the majority of bridge. manufacturing quality, strength, much higher than my old Olympus C-725 (let's be honest, this is not the same price range either). several manual modes, shutter priority, aperture, etc. , and setting multiple (area focus, white balance, type of light effect color / B & W / Sepia). superb ergonomics of the device, with the main functions and useful at hand, the most common directly on a button (gust last photo viewing, flash . . . ) and the other in clear and well designed menus. The FZ50 was released there just under two years, is the end of life: Panasonic announced the end of its production and it seems it will not be replaced by a new bridge equivalent. Nevertheless there is a value, even when you get to find: on occasion on eBay, for example . . . . Hello sir, I want to know further of your picture taken with panasonic lumix fz 50 tittre with water and wine dao didier mission jpeg, have you taken by the automatic or manual mode, I often take images with the same camera for you. I'm not sure of the settings used, but I think I left the automatic mode. At the time I had not mastered the manual mode. Currently, I am often automatic, except some special cases such as: macro and focus difficult against the light or photos at night or even at night with one foot . . . (there are interesting results in Landscape Night ). Obviously there are better, but not in my budget . . . and now, a bridge is a practical, not too bulky, convenient for holiday photos, tours, family, etc. (with a reflective, change lenses, etc. . . . it takes time), easy to carry, that even my children can use. - Minimum distance focusing too high: I took pictures of flowers in the dunes and I could not bring myself close enough (say 1m . . . difficult to get a clear image in very close). The mode of macro focus does not change much. - Noise in low light . . . but let's be realistic, the FZ50 is MUCH better than my old machine! He is doing well . . . but this is obviously not a full frame DSLR (should not ask). Its behavior is very good for a bridge that price. (One day I will pass reflex with a bigger sensor . . . one day . . . ). - RAW mode very slow, and eventually he will not give any (or I could not use it?). The automatic balancing of FZ50 is good and JPEG compression is low. Also true that I did not have photo processing for very high magnification. I did some photos in RAW but my manual processes (on Linux) does not give a better result than the normal Jpeg Lumix. . . .
