Bargain Buy

[John]

I was given the heads up on a Yahoo groups birdwatching site about a camera that Curry's are selling off cheap. It is the Panasonic FZ100 and they are selling it for £199.97.

I managed to bag the last one near me. I don't know anything about the camera but the HD video facility is why I bought it as I was thinking of getting a video camcorder anyway.

I haven't had chance to even read the manual yet. That will be done over the weekend.

One thing I would like to know. Can both the SD and SDHC cards be used in this camera. Also which is the best card to buy for HD video.

I will be taking this camera with me to South Africa later in the year and I can see it being a welcome addition to my equipment, especially on the cape Town Pelagic and also the one we are doing off the south coast.

Apart from the above questions do any of you have any tips about the settings to use etc and is it any good for Macro photography?

I have a Canon 50D and a 150-500 sigma lens so this is going to be a bit different for me.

Regards

Thanks for that Andrew.

I have been looking at a few cards and quite a few say they are not backwards compatible. What does that mean and are they ok for the FZ100?
