Panasonic Lumix DMC-F57

Signing in. I want to make a quick discussion about cameras. As I said before, I’ve been selling cameras for over 20 years and I’ve been a photographer for 30 so I think I know these cameras better than anyone.

For the last four years, I’ve been using the LUMIX. That’s the Panasonic LUMIX, okay. DMC F57, also the DMC G57 – these are two great cameras. The G57 is a bigger one with a bigger zoom. The smaller one that I use all the time – very small, fits in my pocket. And DMC F57, it’s an old camera, even if you buy it refurbished, it’s the way to go. You can get them for about $159. The other one you can get for about $240, a bigger one.

Panasonic LUMIX, the magical thing about them is they use LEICA lenses. In my years of photography, you can either use Zeiss lens or a Leica lens. I love the Leica lens – it’s a different warmth in the picture.

This little camera I carry, F57, it’s indestructible. You know, I have one in my pocket now. All those pictures you see in the website pretty much is that camera. It will get anyone confused – DMC F57, 10 megapixel or 12 megapixel. They’re great.

Right now, I’m photographing between 35th and 36th and I’m at Rock and Soul. Little camera store in the front, big DJ store in the back. They’re having a big DJ party – top DJ’s from America are here, all the ones that won all the competitions. It’s a great party. I had to even step out here to go to another room to call.

Anyway, I’ll be talking tonight and talk about what happened today and tonight.

Signing off.
