My New Camera!
\n\"l830-1\"<\/h4>\n

A Nikon L830<\/a><\/p>\n

My first digital camera was a\u00a0Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ1. It died on our trip west<\/a>\u00a0in 2007 so I was forced to borrow my Mom’s Canon. I replaced it with a\u00a0Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7 because I had been happy with the first one up until it died. One of the things I confirmed was that when travelling I like using regular batteries. Hanging out in campground bathrooms waiting for a battery to charge was not “on.” So when my trusty Panasonic died at the end of our last sailing trip it was time to go shopping again.<\/p>\n

But cameras that run on AA batteries are few and far between. I finally landed on the L830 because I figured on the boat that compact was not the biggest concern and the \u00a030X zoom would finally allow me to take a picture of a whale or dolphin that wasn’t just a speck. It takes 4 AAs instead of 2 but the battery life is supposed to be pretty good (another thing I don’t like about the rechargeables).<\/p>\n

So I guess we will see; I havent had any opportunity to try it out yet. I got some stunning images with the old Panasonic and I will miss it but that’s what happens in this fast-paced world of ours.<\/p>\n

Some favourites from the old camera:<\/p>\n
