I instantly fell in love. Now I will be finally able to provide some pictures of quality. After a short scan through the instruction manual I startet testing some stuff. What can I say... I am impressed how easy to use the menues and settings are. The first thing I found out was, that the Lumix G70 is a real lightweight: around 500 grams including the 12-60 mm lens. It's not a reflex camera, so a lot of the heavy stuff isn't needed. And hell... it is FAST. Ready for shooting in about a second and focussing in about a quarter of a second. I love it.
After the last setbacks, I was almost about to leave that project behind:
I left out and did not write the third part, when poloniex "lost" about 400 SBD for about 2 weeks ending up with being worth only 400 dollars instead of 800 (what would have been enough for the camera).
I can't tell how lucky I am now, finally having reached that milestone!
Now let's go into some detail. This one is one of the first pictures I took with the new camera. All automatic, with slight lightroom revision.
Courgette blossom
So one thing is clear... even a noob like me can take amazing pictures whithout any knowledge about iso, shutter speed etc.
Aubergine blossom
Again a full automatic shot as a proof to myself that the courgette blosson wasn't just a lucky shot. (no lightroom here)
Then I went to some macro:
Fly on the table
Lightroom increased the exposure duration slightly and I cut it to a smaller piece (soo much of the table... I was about 50 cm away from the animal)
Later that day I was able to shoot an amazing sky. This is another untreated and automatic backlit scene (contre-jour)
Skyfall
The next days I will try to get along with the settings and the amazing 4k possibilities (photography and video)
All I can say for now:
with my last camera, I made 200 pics and was able to use 10. With this new Lumix G70 I made 200 pics so far and I put only 10 in the trash. I guess I found a new constant companion. THX STEEMIT!
All images are my own originals ;-)
