I've seen quite a few share their love of the Lumix and like yours, their photos are very clear and with good colour. I might be tempted by one myself but do enjoy my interchangeable zoom lens. Using a canon, for a few years now, I've never been particularly happy with my wider shots (where a point and shoot is just as good) perhaps it's me the user needs to see what I'm doing wrong! I certainly enjoy your photos :-) Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-8301886225503219282016-11-23T17:53:18.895+00:002016-11-23T17:53:18.895+00:00A friend who has just seen his son's wedding p...A friend who has just seen his son's wedding photos taken by a professional photographer using a super expensive camera would agree, David.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-85063028201415526712016-11-23T12:44:37.585+00:002016-11-23T12:44:37.585+00:00I think you know my views on this subject Sue fact...I think you know my views on this subject Sue fact is both you and Martyn produce wonderful images on a range of subjects that are interesting to look at.

Seems to me that people who were into photography before the digital era are more likely to go for the interchangeable lenses, Helene. I think you tend to go for what you feel comfortable with. When the bridge cameras were first introduced and were nowhere near as good as the SLR camera and I think there was a bit of prejudice built up about them too. They have come on along way since that point. At the end of the day you just go with what is right for you don't you? I would find carrying lots of lenses around with me would be a bit of a pain and when we are out and about I never really know what I am likely to want to take a photograph of. I would be forever juggling lenses or missing out on an opportunity. I think it is different if you are going out and know exactly what type of photograph you are likely to want to take. Maybe I'm just a lazy photographer.

I could only afford one of the two EOS lenses so I still have the other lens very high on my wish list. Like you, I am afraid I would always have the wrong lens on the camera and just try to get by with whatever was on. Perhaps I just need to get a full range lens instead. <br />I also have an iPad and an iPhone but rarely take photos with them, the quality is so low I just get annoyed when I get them on to the computer and see what the photos actually look like….<br />Oh, and I still have my trusty Olympus OM10 with 5 different lenses and lots of other stuff….I got mine in 1979 and used it all the time until 2005. I haven’t used it since I went digital and probably never will but I like having it in a drawer, would never give it away or sell it :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-28457046650658841992016-11-21T23:07:28.495+00:002016-11-21T23:07:28.495+00:00It certainly isn't easily misplaced, Jo.It certainly isn't easily misplaced, Jo.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-30822530318070572482016-11-21T15:35:50.111+00:002016-11-21T15:35:50.111+00:00We've been looking at cameras recently.

I think that would be my problem if I had to change lenses - I would tend to use somethings else. Martyn's Lumix has to change lenses and he tends to have to decide which lens he is more likely to use before we go out and then has a small pocket size camera if the lens doesn't fit the bill. He has a gimbal too for shooting video.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-35988038808867048942016-11-20T18:20:20.525+00:002016-11-20T18:20:20.525+00:00I can't get into using my iPad for taking phot...I can't get into using my iPad for taking photos either Sue, it always looks so unwieldy. I have always liked the look of Lumix, as they seem small but very chunky. I am a Canon girl myself, and do change lenses, but it can be a right pain!

However, I'm now in the market for a replacement as I really miss the days of interchangeable lenses on my 'real' 35mm SLR cameras. <br />If truth be told, the only thing I find better, or more attractive, with digital photography over the now old fashioned 35mm SLR is the cost of taking photographs. Back in the day I had my trusty OM1 for over 20 years, now with advancing technology I'm replacing far too often.Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.com
