Well I’ve been wanting one for ages, and I’m going to Paris in a few weeks… and I’ve just got a pay rise, so I thought hell. I’ll finally get one.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3
It has 10x optical zoom in a small compact camera The reason I’ve wanted one so long!

There are two higher models the TZ4 and TZ5 but it’s really just down to the megapixels and I didn’t see the point spending the extra money. Most end up on this website, maybe the odd one printed, and this will do it happily.

It’s got plenty of impressive bits. For example - ever tried to take a photo with the camera above your head, i.e. in a crowd? It has a special LCD mode so you can see the screen!

Paris is at the end of the month, so keep your eyes peeled for photos from it. Hopefully before if I get an excuse.

The lovely pay raise at work is nice too…

Now off to a typical bank holiday weekend. Oh wait. The sun’s shining!

Over and out.

Moved website to new server, longest bit was actually moving the mass of data (ok it includes a lot of old stuff like photos that aren’t actually shown on the website).

I can’t spot anything that is broken, but if you do, just let me know.
