I had to get a new digital camera today. My Kodak V570 won't open the lense and tomorrow I am leaving to meet some of the Active Rain girls for a trip to Ashville, N.C. Nope we have ALL never met. So this is going to be fun, yet we feel we know each other.
Now you can't go on an Active Rain get together without a camera. So I skyped Sarah Cooper as I couldn't remember which camera Jeff Turner had recommended besides the V570. She told me she uses the Canon Power Shot SX10015 and loved it.
Jeff was recommending the Panasonic Lumx DCM FX35, but Best Buy didn't carry it and I could not wait for several days for it to come as I fly out in the morning.
I ended up purchasing the Panasonic DMC-TZ5.
Well, let's just say I loved it when I played around with it. I think it will work out just fine for my real estate shots. It has a EZ zoom of 10X and a Wide Angle of 28mm.
I loved my Kodak V570, but I'm sure I will learn to like this one too, even with the learning curve. Here are some photo's I just shot at dusk. No, not Teresa Boardman by any means !
But, I'm sure Sarah will help me figure it all out, when I'm not busy working with my apprentice Kim Wood on the MakeOver2TakeOver 4th week assignment.

Missy, my favorite shot is either the sunrise or sunset shot with the two houses. Very nice.
Missy, if you just got that camera you're doing a great job with it! I would love to do an AR get together with some girls! That sounds like tons of fun and Asheville is my favorite place in the whole world!
Missy,
We have 2 Panasonics!!! You're gonna love it...I like my wife's with the square rechargeable battery better than mine with regular AAs...now get yourself a monopod for that 10X and you're set!!! Thanks, Fran
Missy - Lovely shots. Have a great time with the ladies and I am sure we will be seeing photos from the trip.
It looks great to me. Modern technology allow you to purchase great equipment for a reasonable price.
Hi Missy,
I tried to buy the same camera, the FX35 this week that JT recommended too. Found it online at Costo, yet not in the store on Monday. They told it me could take up to 2 weeks to get it online and I want it a.s.a.p. Then went to WalMart, didn't have it either. Still looking.
Hope you girls have a great time!
Missy..... ahhhhhhh, look at those weeds... but at least you don't have weeds such as these... ;o)
Seriously.... the shots came out good... enjoy the new camera. And most of all, have a great time meeting new 'Rainers' ... Looking forward to the blogs and pictures. Have a safe trip.
NIce photos. Learning a new camera can be tricky good luck and have fun in Ashville. If you have a vhance go to the Builtmore estate and take some photos of the grounds.
Have a great time on your NC trip. I know you will have so much fun with your AR girlfriends. Please blog about it soon... so glad you got a new camera so you can post lots of pics. Looking forward to hearing who all will meet up with you! :)
No, Missy, No!!!
I haven't even read your post yet!
As soon as I got to your blog and saw the title I drew in my breathe and thought, oh, no!
I do not need another camera. I do not want another camera. Please, when I read this do not entice me.
Here goes.

MISSY, you are going to have so much fun. Last fall I had a sleepover with Thesa Chambers and Chris Tesch. It just felt like we already knew each other when we met.
Missy, have a great time on the trip. Desiree told me all about your plans. Looking forward to seeing some of the pictures from your big Active Rain trip and your new camera.
Missy...I am breathing again. I have two Panasonics. The DMC-FZ18 and the DMC-FZ55. Really like both of them and have only had them a short time.
Have a great time in Ashville. I've never been there. I should hop in my car and track you gals down.
I just have to look for some women that are having a lot of fun and are taking lots of pictures.
Kathleen
I feel that this camera is WIDE enough. I hope you will enjoy it...... and most of all, do get us those meetup Active Rain photos SOON.
Have fun Missy! Waving to all !!! Hi and have a ton of fun. I saw your new listing and called a buyer about it right away. I'll let you know if they want to see it.
Missy~ I will have a meltdown when my Kodak V705 bites the dust, so it's great to find out what else is out there.
I love my Kodak V570. I better take good care of it.
Missy, Looks like a great camera! The details in the close up's look great! I too was interested in the Kodak but may have to consider your new model! Have a great, fun trip this weekend. I'm sure you'll bring back lots of new photos!
Do you ever sleep? How do you get everything accomplished? You ARE wonder woman, aren't you?
Missy - these photos are very nice. Who would want to be "Teresa Boardman" when they can be Missy Caulk"? I have a Panasonic Lumix for more than a year. It is a fine camera and I keep it with me at all times. Many of the photos on my blogs were taken with it. Your apprentice, Kim is quite the photographer, she can lend you a hand too.
Hi Missy,
Great photos. Enjoy your trip to our beautiful state, Ashville is a wonderful area. My brother went to prep school just outside Ashville so we visited there often.
Well get here already, so we can PLAY!!!!
Other than some of the letter/numbers on the model - it sounds like mine! (DMC-FZ25) . Oh, I guess one letter/number makes all the difference :)
Can't wait to see you in "Area 54"
Missy--Aren't new cameras fun? Looks like your photos for listings and blogs will be awesome! Enjoy!
Missy, I don't know how I missed this. Your photos are wonderful! Now really, do you guys think you are going to actually work this weekend:) I think we will all be working on our photography and social networking at its best!
Nice shots, I have the DMC-FZ7 and love it! Have fun shooting all the members! That didn't sound right... How about taking pictures of all our friends! lol~ :-))
GREAT shots! I love my Panasonic camera and I hope yours lasts you at least a couple of years!

Great Shots... I need another camera, my husband and I are fighting over ours. I'm checking this one out.
Those are some good pictures. Hve fun on your trip with the girls.
I really love the landscape photo! I was like Kathleen when I saw this...NOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't need another camera!
Very nice, will have to check into it!
Missy...
Don't you just love taking pictures :). Bill is getting afraid my computer will blow because I have so many. I used to take underwater film shoots with my Nikon underwater camera, now that's tough. It has given me a good "eye", still not tech smart, but my photos look good. I'm using a simple Olympus FE-210, mega-pixel 7.1, it has a great macro and super macro setting but no wide angle. I also have a super semi-pro camera I bought for the office and my trip to Africa (I still have 3,000 shoots to edit :)
This first pictures look great, so looking forward to seeing the ones from you trip. Not fair getting to meet in person with Kim :). I know y'all will have a blast!
When you get a minuet I need some help on how to link and put some widgets on my blog site. Let me know if you can help me and a good time when we can both be at our computers.
Have fun, be safe, Liz
