My new Lumix digital camera

This year for Christmas my big present was my new small Lumix Digital camera. It has 5X optical zoom and a 2.7in. screen in the back. It’s a very pretty blue and I love it. It’s very tiny & compact but not too small that I can’t work the buttons properly! It’s tough to get used to compared to my big Canon Rebel SLR but I’m getting used to it. I desperately needed one to take around with me in my purse. I am always finding things or people or places that I want to take photos of and I don’t lug around my big camera everywhere I go. So this was a fantastic solution! I took it around to all the Christmas gatherings (Steve gave it to me early) and used it for those.
Right now I’m only having trouble with the red eye reduction option. That works ok but I would rather have the camera on plain ole automatic b/c that takes the picture a little faster.. and with Noah, faster is better! He does not sit still for long. So I’ve now got a lot of photos with the red eyes.. but that’s easy to take out in photoshop so it’s no big deal.
For a small digital camera, it takes good pictures, printable pictures… which is important, and it’s easy & convenient to use. I’d highly recommend it!



Wii Charge Station Quad by NYKO Review

I purchased this quad charger after my previous dual remote from another manufacturer died. So far this charger has been excellent, it holds 4 wii-motes as you probably guessed from the title and there are color LEDs to indicate the charge status. The charge the battery packs hold seems to last a decent amount of time, none of my gaming sessions have completely consumed the charge in the packs. This is a much better alternative to constantly swapping out rechargeable batteries. The battery packs that come with the NYKO charger are 4 different colors. Link below if you are interested.
