First let me start by saying I'm not a pro photographer. Second I love this camera!!
Back on X mas last year I was looking to upgrade my regular p&s for something better, I purchase the Canon SX20 IS and I was very pleased but the camera didn't gave me the extra edge I was looking for. So I order the Canon Rebel XS a real DSLR, unfortunately I found it too cumbersome :( So the camera went back.
I'm a mother of 21/2 year old twins, and as such have a lot of gear to carry around (sippy cups, extra clothing, pacifiers, toys, etc.)So portability it's really important to me.
Well this camera, solves that: it's so portable, so light and so cool looking!! With this camera I don't have to worry about missing cool pictures of my fast moving subjects (it shoots 3 frames per second!)
I have been able to do cool effects like cotton candy looking waterfalls, shooting sunsets in low light and doing macro shots. I have purchase filters and I'm ordering my second lens soon!
The tilting LCD screen is a blesssing, I can take pictures of my kids at any angle and makes it easier to review my shots afterwards.
I highly recommend this camera fo all those who want way more than I P&S but don't want to compromise the space in the bags (or backpacks) It is the perfect camera for a family!!Get more detail about Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 12.1MP Digital Camera with Lumix G Vario 14-45 mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Mega OIS Lens (Red).
