Re: If I had an Exhibition... (4.00 / 4)

It took me a long time to make up my mind between this Panny FZ-18 and a SLR, but I thought it will be a very good middle step in order to learn more before the big jump. The zoom is great and I love the things you can do with macro zoom. Next Friday I will post some photos I took in Lisbon Botanical Garden.

Re: If I had an Exhibition... (none / 0)

I hate the bridge cameras. They're too big to carry casually and have too many limits compared to a decent SLR.

We owned one for a while and discovered we never, ever, took it anywhere: we either brought a proper compact when size was an issue or we packed a proper camera.

But that's what happens when your camera collection gets out of control.

Re: If I had an Exhibition... (none / 0)

Digital SLRs have fallen in price a lot recently. The value of bridge cameras has been their affordability compared to an SLR, coupled with (generally) better optics than compacts. But I agree that you don't carry them around as readily as a compact.

Re: If I had an Exhibition... (none / 0)

Part of my problem is that we have rather a number of cameras, so the comparisons become obvious - we just never put the bridge camera in the bag because there were too many compromises involved.
