Replacement camera

[ScotiaLass]

As you may know I had a Galaxy camera and recently the shutter broke on it.
It was under warranty but I couldn't find the receipt. Until today

I was offered the same camera as a replacement, or something else.
After much thought I have chosen this...

It's got everything I want and gets a decent write-up. Sorted.

TBH, although the Galaxy was really nice, it had too many gimmicks that I didn't use.
This one should arrive tomorrow and I had £45 left over so will put that towards some Christmas gifts (I know, I said the C word!)
I am happy! Just waiting on my new saddle for Arabella to arrive now and I shall be out and about and will report back on both!

Well done SL. A good result and money left over.

Looks like a good choice. I have a much more down market Lumix and I'm very impressed.

My "tootle out" backpack always consists of a bottled drink, 2 inner tubes, pump, set of allan keys and a camera. Cant leave home without the camera

I use my daughters Fuji Finepix, I can turn it on, zoom in and out and click the shutter.... thats about it

Enjoy, SL

Lumix are good cameras and you get a Leica lens, which is is not particularly fast at f 3.3 max aperture but should still give good results.

That looks good, does it have a view window dooddad or a screen at the back?

I got a Galaxy camera. Don't use it so I might sell it.

It's a touch screen on the back

Nice choice, 20x Optical Zoom? That Heron you keep seeing has nowhere to hide now!

Yeah, for what I want a f3.3 is fine, and not a bad aperture size for a compact camera

I like the Fuji Finepix! I always have a camera with me - on the rare occasion I've forgotten it, I've missed a nice photo op!

The Leica lenses are lovely....only wish I could afford one of their cameras!
