do you know any consistent site to order the panasonic TZ7? amazon don't send electronics to Portugal and i don't know a good and credible site to order besides amazon UK. e-bay is out of question because i already got burned once and i am not willing to take another hit.

hey, good detail in those pictures mate!! are you the guy pointing to the camera? :)

thanks for the explanation, you were very clear. you also have some good examples of that technique in your gallery, the bird for example. the background is blurry making the bird stand out. great picture by the way!

i don't understand exactly what is apperture/shutter speed. been reading a lot lately but have failed to understand the concept. maybe language is a barrier here because English is not my native language, who knows. anyway, can someone explain to me what do these settings do to a photography...

i looked in that model too but ended up with the TZ7 and SX200 as i think it is a little bit too big. i am looking forward to a more slimmer model. its current price is rather tempting though, almost half the price of the other models with almost the same features

hmm, i am afraid about the firmware issue. i really don't like the idea of the flash popping up every single time i turn the camera on. and the recording time limit is a letdown as well. what do you think about CHDK? maybe the custom firmware will address these issues?

i am new to photography so i thought this model (canon is a personal referencel) would be good to start as it is hard to get things right with SLR models. my concerns with the SX200 IS are mainly the following: a) the flash always pops out, even if i don't want to use it. i read in some...
