I had been meaning to get a digi cam for a long time, but I’m also a very ‘mafan’ or fussy shopper. Most people recomments Olympus, Canon etc, but I had fallen in love with this model: the Panasonic FZ-2. I was first introduced to Panasonic by my sis, who’s also a professional photograher. Since then, I had been researching for the best yet affordable model and had laid eyes on this baby.
This baby is only 2mp, but it has 12x digital zoom, and that’s just fantastic for spying! Ok no that’s not the main purpose. The Lumix lens is the most fantastic thing, coupled with OIS (Optical Image Stabiliser). MY sis got herself a Panasonic Lumix FX1, a mini sized 3.2 mp cam, and I managed to play around with it. The OIS works like magic! You can be shaking with in fright but your image captured wouldn’t give you away at all! I tried capturing while in a bumpy car and the pics turned out just fine.
At first, I thought it looked pretty bulky, but it’s not any bigger than a Sony Cybershot. I checked one out in Fotokem, Low Yatt, and it’s really light too. The only big thing it’s the lens, but I wouldn’t complain coz of it’s quality and professional look. All these for only RM1699…. I can’t wait to get my hands on one! But I’d probably have to wait some more till I saved enough. 🙁
