The Camera in my pocket..!!

Hi Eddie I,ve been looking at the Panasonic FZ38 but after what you have told me,now I,m not so sure.Thanks for the Info.

Apple Orchard to day

 

I've got the FZ-18. The zoom is good and the colour isn't too bad but doesn't quite have the warmth of the old Canon I had. A friend also has the FZ18 and her pictures seem to have a better tone than mine although we have them on the same setting. Altogether not a bad camera. Mrs shiney has the small, FS7 and I think that gets brilliant pictures for its size.

I took these photos, hand held, half an hour ago on full optical and digital zoom from 60ft away through a not very clean double glazed kitchen window.







This was also a morning shot last week.

 

Thanks Shiney lovely Photos and thank you for the info ,they look good to me:thmb:

 

Well you have some great shots there Eddie.. Love the mystical misty ones & the Church spire looming out of the mist is a brilliant shot..!!
Well whether you are totally satisfied or not, good shots..!!
I have a big Fuji & a pocket Canon & although I love my Fiji, I seriously think that overall the Canon maybe comes out on top..!!
Woo, Eddie & Shiney.. One huge thing I have noticed is that after 10Megapixalls it is very hard to get a good clear shot, hand held..!! Much more critical for total stillness. so often use the Fuji with the Tri-pod & the canon goes everywhere on the whole.... :wink:

 

Taken just now from the kitchen window with full optical and digital zoom at a distance of 100ft.

Two woodpeckers working their way up our willow tree and seeming to have a really good breakfast. :gnthb:

 

Thanks Kedi,

Both the male and female pheasants are used to keeping their precarious balance on the feeder. They have been doing it since they were able to fly and their parents and grandparents have also done so :thumb:.

Both the great spotted woodpeckers and the green woodpeckers have started revisiting the main area of our garden regularly since the beginning of the month. We hadn't seen them since December. When the lighting is poor I can still distinguish between them as the green woodpeckers have much bigger beaks and a different kind of walk as they climb the trees.

 

Thanks Kandy,

One of the problems with doing pictures of our holidays is that the file size of the photos on this camera is much larger than the old one, so it takes ages to upload them. We have very slow broadband. :(

 

I just checked how long it takes and it took 45 minutes to upload 12 pictures. :(


We went to Thriplow Daffodil Day on Sunday. Unfortunately the daffs weren't out (the village is covered in them) but it was a good day out with lots of things going on - and the roads were closed to traffic so it was easy to walk around. :thumb:

There were some friendly owls










An unfriendly cat




Some horses giving rides



Sleepy lambs




A miniature steam engine



There was also a display of working stationary engines but I didn't take photos.


Some cars that took me back in time






















And even Snoopy was there! :hehe:
