Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT2
Posted: Mar 20, 2010 5:53 am
I just noticed this new camera as an update on the FT1.
I'm fairly certain this is the one for me but thought I would see what others say. I need a camera that does a bit of everything. I like to hike, cave, canyon, run, travel etc. and need a camera that can do all these things and doesn't require me to lug gear along for semi decent pictures. I am careful with everything I own, but I think just knowing that the camera can take a modicum of abuse will set my mind at ease and allow me to take more photos than I currently do.
I would love to get reasonable photos in caves and canyons without going to the effort of the DSLR route and one of the features that draws me to this camera is it's choice of exposure times. Up to 8s in night mode and then 15s, 30s, and 60s in starry mode. Am I correct in thinking that this should open up some options in terms of light painting or slave flashes?
Anyway here is a good review and the manufacturers website. Let me know what you think.
