After many years of Yashica/Contax/Kodachrome64 I went digital in 2008. Hopefully all those years of waiting weeks before seeing the results has made think a little a bit before releasing the shutter. One day I may get around to buying a decent scanner and adding my best slides from the some 50 countries I have visited, but for now all I have to show pre-2008 are a few photos from India done on a friends scanner (thanks Steve).

Initially chose a compact over an SLR so I can always carry it by pocket/belt/wife's handbag. Went for the FX500 as at the time Panasonic were taking ages to bring out the LX2. Like the touch sensitive screen as long as it is not too bright - do miss the viewfinder! Would recommend the camera to others - only a few minor niggles: manual mode difficult to use with scroll bars obscurring much of screen ((manual button operation would be nice) and 16 by 9 aspect photos can only be reduced to 2M (smaller would be nice for E-mails).

Got a Nikon D3100 Xmas 2010 so most of my photos since then taken with it.

Hope you like the photos, any comments welcomed.
