Unfortunatly, since a couple of weeks ago I lost my camera, it was a panasonic lumix 10 mega pixels I bought it here in México in december last year. Last weekend I went to Teotihuacan's Pyramids (which, by the way, are great to visit), I spent all the trip taking pictures with my cell phones, the battery of my blackberry was out begining the trip so I could not take a lot of pictures, actually just two or three photos. Then I begun using my other cell phone but till today I have not been able to download the pictures to my laptop.
So I decided that I must buy a new camera and I was going to buy a new Panasonic Lumix but then I saw this other Lumix camera a little bit more pro. I was in sears and looked for both cameras, so I thought that it would be great to start learning about photography. Well, I won't be the best photographer of the world, but probably with a better camera and a little bit of imagination I will take cool pictures while I am living in Mexico.
At the end of the day, I didn't buy neither the 10 mpx camera nor the pro camera (it was 12 mpx with 18x optical zoom and a lot of other features). Why? Well, I thought that I should have two cameras one for dayly basis (partying, office, partying, etc!) and another one to learn photography and when I travel use it for more quality pictures. So, I guess that the price scared me a little.
Thinking back, I should've bought both cameras at that moment, I just imagine how great pictures I would've took in my trip to the Pyramids and also how important is to have a more simple camera to take photos when I am partying or even for working purposes.
So I guess this weekend I will buy both camares!!! and I will begin looking to learn photography as a new hobbie... but first I need to understand if It would be a good idea to buy this camera or should I buy another professional camera ¿?
