Panasonic Lumix® DMC-FZ30 Digital Camera

I HAVE HAD MY FZ30 FOR APPROX 2 YEARS NOW & HAVE NO INTENTION OF CHANGING IT FOR THE FZ50 OR A DIGITAL SLR, I AM A KEEN PHOTOGRAPHER BUT HAVE NEVER HAD THE PATIENCE TO CHANGE SETTINGS & I LOVE THE FACT THAT I CAN GET TOP QUALITY PICTURES BY JUST LEAVING IT ON AUTO & USING THE OLD POINT & SHOOT METHOD, IN MY OPINION THE REAL ADVANTAGE THIS FIXED LENS CAMERA HAS OVER ANY SLR IS THE FACT I CAN GO FROM REALLY CLOSE MACRO SHOTS (approx 2in from the subject ideal for flowers, insects, ebay listings etc) TO GETTING SOME REALLY NICE PHOTOS OF THE MOON (tripod really needed for these) & WILDLIFE SHOTS ALL ON THE SAME LENS & ALL VERY GOOD QUALITY PHOTOS, TO SUM UP I HAVE TAKEN MY BEST EVER PICTURES WITH THIS CAMERA & I HAVE BEEN INTO PHOTOGRAPHY FOR OVER 30 YEARS & CAN THOUROUGHLY RECOMEND IT TO ANYONE FROM BEGINER TO KEEN SNAPPER.
