Good one Chris. He's a Northern Shoveler, in winter color. The colors look great, especially the eyes. -Kurt Horsley

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ10

I've been waiting on this camera for months. Still waiting. I'm quite anxious to see if it lives up to it's potential. I really like the availability of the teleconvertor lenses. Both the wide, and especially the telephoto convertor, should make a very flexible system. And, in my humble opinion, four mega-pixels is enough for fairly good resolution, especially with image stabilization. Now Panasonic just needs to get on with releasing them. -Kurt Horsley

Panasonic DMC-FZ10

Posted By Kurt Horsley

Well, here's the first image with the FZ10. I didn't have a lot of time for photography or editing today, but here they are. The camera seems operate very smoothly and quietly, and it has all the advanced features you could ask for. It's a feather-weight, and you could carry it all day without fatigue. Even the battery is tiny, and provides 400 images at full resolution. I haven't got a firm opinion on image quality yet, as I need more testing, but the F/2.8 Leica lens seems very fast, even at 420mm. And, the image stabilization is just superb. The mallard was about 70 yards away. Image is 420mm, 1/500 f/4 -Kurt Horsley
