New Camera

I now am the proud owner of a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35. I haven’t so much as seen my old digital camera for quite a while, so I was wanting to pick up a new one for a while. I recently managed to talk myself into it, so I picked this happy little thing up last night at Yodobashi. It was more than I’d normally spend on a camera, but I’d actually like to start photographing things around this country a bit more often – plus it is added motivation to head out and explore about Japan.

Once I start snaping some images with this thing, I’ll likely get them uploaded to flickr or… somewhere. So far though, the image quality seems to be pretty nice, and the field of view is definitely very happy. I was tempted to pick up another new Lumix with a 10x zoom – but, I was willing to sacrifice that for the image quality of this little thing. That, of course, is the other nice part: its definitely a compact and its very light. Its sitting in my shirt pocket right now, and only by typing this did I even realize it.
