Sensational

This is one of the many Orchids growing in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo at the moment. I wasn't sure how my new little Panasonic DMC-FZ18 would handle a white flower, as today was my first time out somewhere to test it. I went to the Calgary Zoo for the afternoon. I wanted to test it out and compare similar photos taken recently with my old, half-working Canon S3 IS and very old Olympus C750 UZ. I found the Panasonic DMC-FZ18 a delightful camera to use!! It is light-weight, comfy and if I can use it, then anyone could. I kept it on Intelligent Auto to test out the camera and it seems to have worked reasonably well in various light conditions. I did use flash for some of my indoor shots.
