Retired/disabled - perched over a river near Seattle - Howdy!
Just bought a Lumix G10 yesterday, because of the manual features and hope to learn a few things. (I need a "Guide for the Compleate Idiot").
I'm very disappointed with the zoom ability of the standard kit lens, and digital zoom feature, in this G10. I Can't focus for beans at higher magnifications. I can see Hummingbirds and Juncos in a tree 30 feet away, and ducks in the river, 60-100 feet away, better with my naked eye. It's terrible. I was hoping to entertain myself photographing them.
I'm hoping I just need education, and that this highly recommended little gizmo, isn't under-featured, just to get me to buy a telephoto lens from them. Really, I had better close up ability with an old L-4 point and shoot.... well, that might be an exaggeration, but not much.
grrr... lol. I guess that's ONE way of saying "hello," eh?
I hope you all had a fine holiday season.
