Shooting Birds In Flight
( - 8/11/05)Lumix FZ1 was my first digicam.
Lumix FZ20 my second.
Lumix FZ30 could be my third!
The former two are very good, notably the lens and the superzoom are just superb, but the latter is still not quite there yet.
There? The ability to pick up a bird in flight and to follow it.
Looks like FZ30 is an improvement over FZ20, but my fear is that it might still not make the grade, falling short in several significant areas, e.g. no optical viewer, noise at higher ISO, difficulty in low light conditions, etc.
Shortcomings, notwithstanding, I'm eagerly awaiting the appearance of FZ30.
