Neither of us are into photography. In fact, we haven’t owned a camera since we got married. As usual we turned to friends to offer their suggestions what camera we should buy.
The requirements were simple: good optical zoom, midrange price and point and shoot form. We settled on the Panasonic Limux FZ300. It fit the brief with a 60x zoom, $600 price and no fancy lenses.
I’ve had a chance to play with it before we started the trip. It seems feature packed, in that I have no idea what most of the buttons do!
I’ve been using a video series on YouTube by
Graham Houghton to learn how to setup and get the most out of the camera. Hopefully you’ll see some progress in the pictures throughout the trip!
