Award Sounds

I took the Panasonic DMC FX-150 camera on our honeymoon out in Nevada and California. It was an ideal size, quick to start and produces serviceable images. To manage them, I used Picasa since we only had my wife's old laptop with us and it could just about run Picasa. I was quite happy applying quick edits (e.g. adjusting the white balance, shadows and highlights) knowing that I had the raw files to play with back home (ok, I was wrong). Plus I didn't really want to spend any time doing it, so quick edits were the order of the day.

To put them on the web I used Picasa and let it resize them.

Within the camera itself, I had the Noise Reduction set to +1 after having seen the clear blue skies of Las Vegas with too much noise in them for my liking.

Overall, I ended up with images I was happy with and the FX150 served admirably.

Here's the gallery over at Google's Picasa. Sorry if it's a bit like looking through someone's holiday snaps, because in reality that's actually what it is. However it should give you an idea of what the camera can do even after the images have been processed and reduced. Remember to use the magnifying glass in the top-right corner or download the photo for the 1600x1200 view. Even that's reduced in size though.
