I have three Lumix cameras. My husband has been trying to,persuade me to sell a couple of them......but I can't. They are like friends to me.

It's a Panasonic DMC -TZ30 Lumix with a Leica lens. It is Full high definition and 20 optical zoom. Usually I use it in manual mode but always leave it on auto when it's in my pocket in case I suddenly see something worthwhile to capture and don't have time to get the manual setting right.
It was a brand new model when I got it and it was about £200 but a newer model has come out which is dearer and the only difference is the new one has Wi fi. It is a very handy pocket camera as you can see by some of the photos I take with it.
The Nikon D7100 is a fantastic camera and I have plenty of lenses and accessories with it but a big lump to cart around unless I am doing something special.
The Nikon links to the iphone and is handy at parties etc when you can put it down pointing at a group and sit away from it watching the iphone until you want to take a remote photo shown on the phone, very handy to stop people looking self conscious when you are pointing a big camera at them.
I don't use it for pervy snaps before anybody thinks different..!!
The Olympus DSLR with two lenses and accessories is still in the box unused and for sale.
I might give it an airing tomorrow just to make change.
