My new TOY – Panasonic Lumix DMC-Fz35

Darling bought me a new toy several days ago – the Panasonic Lumix DMC-Fz35. A super-zoom camera sporting a wide-angle 18x zoom lens.
Currently retailing at RM1699, we got it at RM1399 during the recently concluded MATTA / Camera Fair. Not only that, we got a free tripod and an extra 8 gig memory card to come with the already included 4gig card, not to mention many other freebies such as the camera bag, shoe bag, travel tag and more that you always get purchasing from a Fair.
The camera feels solid and rugged in the palm, while at once portably lightweight. I likey!

It is a 3 section tripod and stands at 1350mm at its tallest. That picture above is the tripod NOT at its tallest. It is set up midway for shorties like me  :P
I have yet to play with it much but I did manage to get these two shots last night. 
Pic 1
Pic 2
Now can anybody tell me what is the difference between Pic 1 and Pic 2?
It’s the FOCUS. Exactly! I can now play around with the focus and have the choice to focus either the subject or the background. Yeay! I’m so loving my new toy at the moment but there’s nothing much to write YET as I’ve not got the opportunity to fully explore it.
Let me get cosy to my new baby first and I’ll let you know more… later! Till then, Happy Holidays to you guys whose last day of working before the long break is TODAY!
As for me, EVERYDAY is a holiday! Enjoying life, blogging, tweeting and now I shall enjoy photography!
Thank you very much Darling. A BIG and sloppy MUAKS to ya! :P
