Experiments with a Budget Point & Shoot Camera

Some days ago I bought a Panasonic DMC-LZ8, a budget P&S camera for just 100 €. It's features 8 MPix, a 5x zoom lens and image stabilizer. I was surprised by how many functions you get in such a cheap camera these days.

Coming from DSLRs operating this small camera was a bit cumbersome for me in the beginning. After some test shots I realized that this camera not only offers a lot of value for the money. You can also take some nice pictures on the way:

Broken

Folded

Perforated

Embedded

Moistened

This camera has its limits and my DSLR produces far better pictures. But you can take along this little camera everywhere you go (well, almost everywhere).
