Hi All - I'm looking for recommendations for a snapshot camera to carry while gliding. Last season I used my iPhone - its a pain to use in the cockpit. Ideal camera: - very thin (fits easily in side pocket) - instant on - no settings to fiddle after turning it on - doesn't autofocus on canopy - super-fast focus and shoot - fast repeat shooting - easy operation with one hand Needs to be grab-and-shoot with no fuss and no wait. Recommendations ? Thanks in advance, Best Regards, Dave "YO electric" Hi Dave I did the research this December and went with the Panasonic Lumix TZ7. Widest angle available, and widest zoom range available. Takes HD video - shuts down to pocket size. Consequently is a little expensive. Takes outstanding pictures and is designed for PHD operation. (That's Push Here Dummy) Primary user is my 11 year old son who is keen on photography, but not yet tech savvy enough - and I need to keep him away from my nikon D80 - with which I have taken some spectacular pictures - but you have to be in a 2 seater. It is just too big and clumsy to be safe otherwise. It is outstanding - Have a look. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0901/09...nasonictz7.asp http://www.trustedreviews.com/digita...mix-DMC-TZ7/p1 Bruce --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
