Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ 18
Has any one used this camera? It looks to have great reviews. I love nature/outdoor photography, and this seems to be pretty versatile. I've heard good reports on Lumix in general-any input welcomed!

I got one for our anniversary late last year. It's pretty nifty. I usually go with Sony (for cameras) and was contemplating a Sony but decided to opt for the Panasonic. I really like it but I am still learning on it (got it in late Nov). I got it for a pretty good price. Check the reviews at www.dpreview.com.

That's what I have & it made a big difference in my pictures. I know I could improve my pictures even more if I took the time to learn more about the camera settings. It's an easy camera to use & I love it. I may have to get another one because my daughter loves it too. I keep finding it in her room when I need to use it.

You'll probably pay more. You can get it online (as far as I could find at the time) cheaper. I had, originally, ordered it through Amazon.com in time for our anniversary in early Oct but it was backordered so I went elsewhere and got it cheaper and quicker.

Really? It would be more if I didn't order it online? I just hate having to wait!! I guess I may have to though...

I checked Costco.com and they didn't have it listed on there...It's still a pretty new camera on the market, so that may have something to do with the difficulty in finding it. I've seen some pretty good deals online and on ebay, so I guess I will go that route when I do buy it. Now I just gotta wait on my W-2 forms...that's part of why I didn't want to have to wait for it to ship to me, I gotta wait before I have the money for it! Oh well, patience right?

Oh, and for those that have the camera, got any sample pics? I'd love to see some close up as well as zoom shots if you wanna share! I'd even be willing to follow a link if you don't want to take the time to upload here.

Nessa, you can look at my gallery & most of the newer things were taken with my Lumix. I've had it a little over a year.

I got my camera!! When I went in to Costco, it was on sale! I saved $50. I was totally prepared to pay the higher price for it-felt like an extra birthday bonus to get the camera and get a discount on it! I love it already...I just gotta figure out how to use all the functions so I can maximize functionality.

Yeah, that's what I used for my eclipse pics...just wish I knew how to use it better so that those pics were better.

Tech question for FZ18
Is there a setting that will change pix size. Pix always at 72 ppi which makes them 45"x 28" or similar. All my other camers come out at 300ppi with a 9" x 12" pix size. In other words is there a way to change ppi?
Thanks,
Steve

I am hunting for a new camera and saw this thread. Does anyone know the answer to Steve's question and why does this line from the camera's description say wide at the end?
Macro focus with autofocus down to 0.39 inches (wide)
Thanks
And does anyone want to post close up pics this camera can take?
Thanks.
