With the TZ70. This was while I was using the TZ70 as a light meter as I was shooting film with my K1000, but it'll be interesting to see how it compares to the film when it's developed.

Some recent TZ70 snaps. Still loving the freedom of walking around with a tiny little camera in my pocket that can handle 90% of the photos I'll ever want to take, at a quality level that I'm personally quite content with.





This next one was an experiment in shooting jpeg rather than raw, but I think I prefer the flexibility of raw.

Looking good, Dave.

Thanks Paul. I think I'd rather be getting CCD colours like you're getting from your LX3 though. The colours out of my little lo-res Optio W30 with its CCD sensor are much nicer than the ones from the TZ70 with its CMOS.

At the moment I've got my eyes out for a Ricoh Caplio GX100. I'm thinking that one of them would suit me just fine.

I stumbled onto this thread a few weeks ago and have been enjoying the images from everyone's beloved "toys". The second digital camera in my possession was a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7, the first being a Nikon CoolPix 6MP jobber of some name or another. (an L2, circa 2007 after a quick peek on Wikipedia). That LX7 was a fantastic camera and I sometimes deeply regret selling it. It had an integrated ND filter and a super sharp bit of Leica labeled glass, which we all know is just Panasonic. I foolishly sold it to partially fund my upgrade into m/43 Olympus system, but those were good cameras, too - and the little OMD 10 was very nearly the same size as the LX7 (without lens, of course).

My favorite image taken with that LX7 is of a little chapel high on the "mountains" of the ancient Armorican massif of western Brittany. I took it in 2015 if memory serves correctly, but didn't process the image until 2017 or 2018, entirely in Gimp.

Rumors and legends abound for this eerie chapel, whose stones were carried up the hillsides by the hard labor of men and beast. If one is caught on the hilltop after midnight, you might find yourself cursed to run around it's perimeter, trapped in madness, screaming in the night with no reprieve nor rest for leg or lung until the dawn. Welcome to the Mont Saint-Michel de Brasparts, a place some locals refer to as a hell gate. *ahem* Of course, the less colorful reality is that this chapel often served as shelter to the many sheep herders in the area during harsh winters, and was more often than not witness to barefooted farmers and herders seeking a bit of relief from the weather, or stopping in to say their prayers. There are numerous hiking trails that descend from the hill and fantastic, otherworldly scenery to take in.
