Lumix love

[KenJ8246]

After seeing Mark Berkery's wonderful shots of harlequin bugs, I decide to try the Panasonic Lumix FZ50 (m4/3 camera) on these little chrysolina beetles.  You be the judge but I think it did a fair job.

#2 A pair sheltering on a plant frond (it got chilly last nite)

#3 To paraphrase an Aussie philosopher, there's more or less here that meets the eye, more or less  

#4 Beetle that resembles a potato beetle but I don't think that's right

You and the Lumix FZ50  did a dang fine job on these.  I like the wasp carcass.  The first two images need more DOF.

Oh yea...for a quasi-dslr package that one does a find job!

Thanks, fellas. Roy, if I could have the extra megapixels, larger LCD and better EVF from the newer G1 in the FZ50, it'd just about be my 'go to' setup.  Small and light, something I find myself more and more interested in.  Especially after shooting with a D2X again.
