Day 130- Cylburn and the DMC-TZ5

We recently purchased a new point and shoot, a Panasonic DMC-TZ5. I have not really had a chance to play with it yet. So I decided to take it out today to one of my favorite places Cylburn Arboretum, here in Baltimore. It is a place I have been to quite a few times with my D50. One of my favorite pics so far from 366 was taken here.

So my experience with the camera was pleasant. It has no manual controls, which took some getting used to because I usually shoot with my D50 in manual mode. The nice thing about a point and shoot is that you can just shoot. I did not have to worry about getting a correct exposure. I could just frame the shot and go. The huge LCD is amazing. I am used to shooting with a 1.5" LCD on my D50. This camera has a 3.0". On the downside there is no raw shooting. The slight tweaks you can make with Raw really go a long way towards a great photo.

All in All it was a fun time. I now realize how outdated my D50 is becoming.
