The first photos I took with my new Lumix on my way to work. Helsinki Railway Station.

I also have just bought a small digital camera, that makes my task of taking photos every day easier, a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5.( http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/compact/lx5/index.html ) I wanted a camera that I allows the use of manual settings and makes it possible to take pictures also in darker conditions without using flash. The LX5 has a f/2.0 lens so should be ok enough for my use… We’ll see, I have not used the camera properly yet, but I hope it will turn out really nice. But I’m sad that they only had it in black in the shop I bought it from, the white one looks fresher, in my opinion.

I’m not usually interested in cameras and their technical qualities, so I’m happy to have made the decision now, after going through a few possibilities (Canon PS S95, Olympus XZ-1, Nikon Coolpix P300 ). If you have any thoughts or opinions you’re more than welcome to leave a comment.
