It's spittin'

[sjr]

Time for a hour off the decorating before going back to tidying so the house looks some sort of normal when the boss lady gets home tonight. Decided to give the new gear its first real shoot.
So as I mentioned I did a gear exchange last week and got rid of some gear I don't use. I did my research watched lots of videos read lots of reviews and then based on what I think I needed (another story I wont bore you with) and also what I had seen from JohnP .......
I decided to go for a bridge............... The Panasonic DMC FZ2000.

Here is the first attempt of a frame taken from the 4K burst mode. This is taken through the window.

Lets hope so......my thinking is its something I'm more likely to take out daily (when back at work) and also when out with the wife and dogs, she gets fed up with me switching lenses every 2 mins. Then I can use my Canon and lenses at my leisure when they are not with me.

I think you’ll find it fits bill very nicely .....  I’ll be chasing you for some pics then ... you have been warned ....lol

There's been a lot more rain here than that, yesterday (wed) was okay, today was miserable and Tuesday the roads turned to rivers - so no chance of any macro shots...

Nice capture.  Just shows that a bit of rain shouldn't put you off.  There is a lot to be said for something that you can just point and shoot.  For a while, I had a Fuji X70.  APS-C sensor but it fitted into a small bag on my belt with my mobile.  18mm fixed lens and when I look back over my files, I'm amazed at how many photographs I produced with it.  Traded it eventually for an X 100 series because I missed a view finder but I still sometimes wonder whether I should have kept it.

Well done Simon... I have been waiting for quite some time hoping another member would purchase a Panasonic FZ2000. I hope you get to like it as much as I like mine.
