I have a teeny-tiny 5MP Panasonic/Leica that we got a little under two years ago due to the impending arrival of Number One Son. It's a DMC something-or-other 1, don't think it's the same model you won.
The good: a great LCD, better than the DS2 and much better than the D or DS; stabilization works well; 2.8 lens at the wide end; makes remarkably good videos; really small. The bad: tops out at a really noisy ISO 400; pretty severe barrel distortion at the wide end. For a point and shoot it delivers a good image, and it gets a good amount of family snapshot use. We're happy with it. -Aaron -----Original Message----- From: "Kenneth Waller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subj: PESO - Award winning Image ! Date: Sat Jul 29, 2006 5:42 pm Size: 1K To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> Check out http://mypeoplepc.com/members/kwaller/offwallphoto/id2.html One of the local papers, the Detroit News, is running a Photo contest & are judging images weekly. With the weekly winners being eligible for the grand prize. The contest is running from mid June thru mid August. There are several categories & I've been entering some images in the Landscape/Nature category. I've gotten several weekly honorable mentions & last Wednesday finally had an image named as a weekly winner in the Landscape/Nature category for the past week. I was pleasantly surprised at the award for the weekly winner, along with some local merchants merchandise coupons, Tickets to the Buick Open golf tournament, I've won a Panasonic D M C TZ1 camera - a 5 mp P + S with a Leica lens & image stabilization. Anybody know of it & able to comment on it? Oh yeah - Comments on the image are solicited & welcomed.
