It all started when I was just 10 years old. My parents bought me a cheap little camera. The Dick Tracy camera took film that was a approximately the same size as 35mm. It was not a 35mm camera. Along with a developing and printing kit I was on my way to a lifetime hobby.
On April 29, 2009 I bought my second digital camera. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 offers a zoom lens that quickly moves from 27mm to 486mm. That is an 18x optical zoom. The camera offers a complete set of manual settings. Surprisingly this camera weighs less than a pound.
My latest motivation for a new camera is the consequence of a digital photography class. The class quickly made me realize that my old Canon A70 was an antique in the digital world. Prices have dropped dramatically. It is likely that this will be the last camera I will buy. Thanks to Costco’s 90 return policy, I have time to change my mind.
The Panasonic telephone help line should get me through any questions about set up and use. My first question was about aspect settings (manual information: 4:3 for conventional TV display, 3:2 for 35mm, or 16:9 for HD TV display). Strangely the help line person said I could use either 4:3 or 3:2 setting. I have the camera on the 3:2.
My only complaint is this camera will not fit in my shirt pocket. A cheap price to pay.
