Title: Camera purchase w/help from 'Old Post'
Post by: Rockoteer on June 18, 2017, 04:23:03 PM
A long time ago in a galaxy(forum) far far away, a young lady described her camera, Panasonic Lumis DMC-FH24.  I believe that is what it was and I do not remember her name, not that she was unforgettable, I just don't remember.  Anyway I was at a yard sale yesterday and found a Panasonic Lumas DMC-TZ3.  Literally, Like New.  extra battery, soft case, charger, manual.  Wow, had to have it.  Yes its an older model, 2007 I think.  I wanted it for the macro mode mainly, but also because my other two cameras I use for ebay and craigslist and of course for here are just two cumbersome.  One uses the tiny cd and the other I have to take the compact disk card out to get the pics off and it eats AA batteries like there is no tomorrow.  He wanted 65 for it but I offered 40 and after some hemms and haws he said yes.  He said I had been the only person in two days that had shown any interest. 
That's my story and i'm sticking to it.

Enjoy your Lumix!  I used to have one until I managed to kill it trying to cross a creek in Sedona, where I promptly slipped and fell and drowned it.   :sad5:

It was an awesome camera and took fabulous macro photos.  I want another one one of these days.  Those Leica lenses rock!   :occasion14:
