"New Camera"

...or more a "New Camera several years ago, found, charged up and played with" Just a simple Panasonic Lumix (very)compact thing that Mrs Tuttle's mum never got round to using. With very basic settlings and multiple "effect" scenes like "pet mode", for taking pictures of, erm, your pet. It even has panorama mode. The blurry image of Taylor, Not Swift, does do the camera justice but seems to take fairly faithful shots. The screen/display is "old" and slow meaning you are best waiting till the images are uploaded on to your pc, the "old fashioned way". Still quicker than going to Boots or Max Speilman, then waiting a couple of days with  a receipt in your wallet. It comes with a USB lead for charging so it'll be handy to keep in the car glove compartment.

More faffy than my Huawei? Probably.
Better quality than my Huawei? Possibly not.
More manual settings than my Huawei? Nope.
Shoot in RAW? Nope.
Better zoom? Yep.
Smaller? Yep.
Tripod thread? Yep.
Camera strap? Yep.
Carry case? Yep.
MicroSD card reader? Yep.
And this is probably the highlight for me:
Can it pay for a Latte in Starbucks, let you take a picture of it in that specific location then allow you to tell the whole on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter all about it using you mobile data/WiFi? Nope.


Sometimes one just wants to take a picture with out the fuss.

Carry on Blipping....
