Title: Testing... 1... 2... 3...
Post by: hal4uk on January 13, 2010, 05:51:03 PM
Ok, here's a (not food) TEST pic from the Panasonic Lumix ZS3 I put on CRG's credit card  ;D
Should do real good... if I ever cook anything...

It's UP REAL CLOSE...

Here's another picture...
I was standing back a bit (seems to be "crisp" and "clear" too)
That's "Big Red" in the closest picture on the wall.

I think this camera is going to be ok.
Awrighten.

Those look great, Bubba!

Throw that other camera in the trash, and only use that BlackBerry for, well, BlackBerry-ing!

Yeah...  The Sony is history
Nothing against Sony - it was just their cheapest one.  Now I know why.

This Lumix looks a lot like it, but (so far) there's no comparison.

Seems to take nice pics - has "intelligent auto-focus" for idiots like me, wide-angle lens, and 12X OPTICAL zoom...

Dang it hal, 12x plus wide angle?

I didn't mean for you to get one that nice.

Sounds great hal, and looks good.

Does it have a face beautifier for when you take a pic of me?

Not from the factory...  But...
I've got Squirt "modding" the firmware now...
So when it DETECTS you, it will substitute PAULA CREAMER...

I'm payin' him with what I saved by chargin' it to your card  8)

Man, that's my favorite joke.  I usually throw it out during other joke sessions and keep a straight face while doing it.

Oakville,

I'll PM CR's credit card number to you.  Just don't charge anything over 7 grand at a time or he might take notice and shut us down.
