Happy SUNday! – a sharp Panasonic Lumix from 2008

Here is another super nice digital camera from Panasonic – the Lumix DMC-FZ28.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28. A 10-megapixel bridge camera with an 18x optical zoom lens from Leica.
It is fun to use a digicam with a sharp CCD sensor for film-like images.
It has excellent macro capabilities.
The Leica lens has a zoom range of 27 to 486mm (35mm equivalent).
Super telephoto image at 486mm.
Wide-angle at 27mm.
Complete image stabilization in addition to the 18x zoom.

This fantastic camera is available in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com.

Mint condition and thoroughly tested.

Happy SUNday! – the joy of using a digicam

Regular readers know I love using (on occasion) simple ‘low’ resolution digicams. It’s fun to remember how special these early digital cameras were and to revisit the images they produced.

My Canon PowerShot A530 is a perfect example of the type of camera we used in the early 2000s. With 5 megapixels and a CCD sensor, it’s quite capable of producing film-like pictures that stand up against today’s high-resolution cousins.

Canon PowerShot A530 has a sharp (and fast) Canon 4x optical zoom lens with excellent macro abilities (as close as 1.97 inches from the lens). The CCD sensor creates film-like images.

A classic from Canon.
It’s been my camera of choice for grabbing quick garden pics over the years.
It fits easily in a pocket, and although the LCD screen is not large by today’s standards, it’s plenty bright enough for composing your shots.

It’s available in my Etsy camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com.

Happy SUNday!

A wood stork is getting some late-night shopping at my local Harris Teeter grocery store in Northeast Florida.

He kept tripping the doors as he debated whether or not to go inside.
Stare down.
Stay in the crosswalk!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day, Chris.

radioactive raccoon

This cute adolescent raccoon awaited a handout in a local grocery store parking lot. A reminder not to use the flash on my camera phone when photographing wildlife.

Ugh!

Fernandina paper mill (one of two on the island). It’s not a Chamber of Commerce view.

The top image was taken with my Fujifilm X-T2 and a 300mm Nikkor-H lens. The bottom photo was shot on my Galaxy S8+.
