Before we went to the Galapagos, in December 2009, we decided it was essential we have a camera each, so we went to John Lewis in Cambridge and bought a nice Panasonic Lumix, and I've been completely delighted with it ever since. The image stablisation has meant that I've taken far fewer rubbish blurry shots than before, though I still take quite a few rubbish sharp shots, of course! The star Galapagos photo is this one, in which the dragonfly was a good 5 metres away. The 18X optical zoom is also pretty good, though rather upstaged by the modern versions of the same camera, of course.However, one thing has been bugging me, just a bit, every time I used the camera. The lens cap was a very sloppy fit, so it would constantly fall off. Not enough to make me cross, but certainly enough to generate a quiet GRRR! each time.
Today we went into Cambridge for completely different reasons, but I thought in time, to take the camera. We passed through Jessops, where a nice man sold me a lens cap THAT FITS!!!!!! Hoorah! So I'm completely delighted, yet it's such a small thing. How silly is that?!!
