Time for my pot plants to wake up from their winter sleep…
…and some porcelain birds as well.
So, I shot these with my new ”dog walking” camera – a Panasonic Lumix TZ70. My old Canon suddenly got a white spot inside the lens, (I could see it clearly, and the photos got a big blur in the upper left corner ) and there was nothing to do about it as it is a compact camera.
I never had a Panasonic before, but this one got high grades in photo magazines and was listed number one of neat compacts this year. My criteria were: ability to use one hand only (dog leash in the other), good in low light, long zoom lens and still pocketable. This Lumix feels good, but is not as good in low light as the Canon was. A plus point is that I love the design …

You look at the ordinary, Leya. It comes out thru your eyes ~ extraordinary.
A very beautiful way to put it! Thank you so much – I guess that depends on how you look at it…I take it as a compliment beautifully expressed ♥ But, this I think applies to you as well, and to us all if we let love and positivity shine through!
I have an old Panasonic Lumix. I love it. If I need to replace it I am fairly sure I would choose Panasonic again. Your photos are so vibrant and wide awake; a perfection expression of the awakening spring.
You are so kind! And – great, then we have similar taste in cameras!

A dog-walking camera, what a great idea!
Isn’t it? Works perfectly!
Så din vän tog pension. Jag förstår att det känns. Den nya trivs också i dina händer. Mittenbilden föll jag för. Så läcker!
Tackar – jo, den verkar bra den här. Annars är jag lite konservativ när det gäller kameror…har alltid haft Canon och Nikon. Denna ligger bra i handen trots att den är tjockare än förra ”hundkameran”, och så har den en fantastisk zoom – 30X. Inte dumt alls. En väninna till mig köpte en långzoomcompact (Canon powershot) och när jag såg vad den kunde göra var jag sugen. Sorgligt dock när trotjänaren lämnar…Jag googlade på den där vita fläcken, och det stod att det kunde vara döda pixlar…? Aldrig hört talas om. Nåja – nu har jag en ny ”leksak”…
Jo, döda pixlar har jag hört nämnas, om kameror som fått högt slitage. Ja visst är det fsbtsdtiskt vad kompaktkamerorna kan idag!
Helt otroligt med så mycket teknik i detta lilla skal!
It certainly takes a nice sharp photo
Have fun with your new one. Nice pics
Hope you will be pleased with your new companion!
So far, yes.
Interesting background camera information, I want to improve my photos so I’m doing my research to obtain technology that will compensate for ineptness as a photographer.
I am doing that all the time…I want both – a good camera and improving my skills.
Have fun with your new camera, it sounds good and the photos are lovely! 🙂
Thank you, Dina – I’m trying it out right now!
