camera trends

i am the proud owner of a panasonic dmc-tz10. i loved this camera so much that when it broke, my dad went out and bought the same camera. well, hopefully an upgraded version, but it looks pretty much the same to me.

having said this, i do realise that people who use DSLR cameras tend to take much more beautiful photos- that is, if they can be bothered bringing/using their cameras. personally, i don't like lugging things around, so i am sure i would fall into the secondary category and not end up with any photos at all.

i was just clicking at random online shopping sites and came across the Pentax Optio WG1. how amazing does that sound? but i don't know very much about camera specs, so i figured it could end up being extremely dodgy. the last pentax i used was a black and white film camera... probably safer to trial one out in person. but then a couple more clicks brought me to the Panasonic Lumix FT3.

a lumix, like my favourite little camera, except indestructible!

apparently it even shoots 3D photos! i can't really imagine this... holographic photography?? putting aside my initial impulse, i can't really justify getting one of these cameras. i already have a reasonably new, perfectly good camera. and the last time i went swimming was in January.
