Meet Orange

She's my Panasonic Lumix ZS3.

I know, I know. I already have Dixie, my Nikon D40x. And I love Dixie to bits. We've seen the world together, how can I not?

But then there are things I want that Dixie can not provide. Like video function. And easy to handle. Low maintenance. Something I can stuff in a small bag.

It was a tough ride. I considered getting a waterproof camera and almost did. But considering that I do not go on intense field work nor go to the beach as often as I used to, an additional 10K felt ridiculous for something that I want to use often.

In the end, after researching camera reviews, I found myself falling in love with the Lumix ZS3, which was considered one of the best cameras of 2009.

Looking forward to more moments taken with Dixie and Orange this 2010. :)
