19 5 2011 New camera - Panasonic Lumix LX5

I've finally upgraded to a real camera. It's not an SLR but as compacts go it's one of the best. I have a digital SLR but because it's so bulky I never use it. The LX5 allows complete manual control and captures images at a much higher quality than I'm used to. I've been testing it this afternoon in our garden and it has far exceeded my expectations. This will certainly add an extra dimension to my treks, both here and on the Spanish Caminos.
