So I caved in and bought a digital camera now those s have stopped making polaroid film and I can't be fked with the hassy.

It's a panasonic lumix lx3.

I thought I'd share my thoughts with you: It seems to be quite good. Works like a real camera only you can change the aspect ratio. Shame there is no viewfinder.

I can see it getting a lot of use, and who knows, I may take more than this one photo this year.



I hope you are all well!

Nice one Matt, be interested to see what results you get with it. I'm with you in that I don't like composing on an LCD, I also keep putting my compact up to my face to try to look through the viewfinder!

You could always get one of these although at £200 it's a lot to pay for a hole to look through...

the horizons not level, think your camera might be wonky

You mean, like cropping in PS only not undo-able?

Yeah a bit like that, but everyone knows that if you have to crop if you've got it wrong...

Hope they gave you a colour memory card along with that B&W one!

Yeah they did but it doesn't have an ISO and exposure guidelines written on it?

'Cloudy bright' + ASA 64 = 1/125th @ f5.6 perchance?
