hi Vizuel.... will look around but i doubt I have any 'bokeh' shots only because I was using the 7-14 uwa zoom, the fisheye and the 20mm..... but will have a look to see what i have....
OK all, apologies for being out of sight for a few days.......... we just got home last night after 11 days......... the exhaustion caught up with me last few days and I was just going straight to bed asap every night after getting back to the hotel and a good hot shower....
Will upload more images this evening and over the next few days...
----------------------------
This camera review has to stay true to its members..... so far everything works beautifully ....... EXCEPT....... read below.....
After 11 days..... I have one serious suggestion for Panasonic...... I set the camera to Sleep Mode after a minute of idle time... touching the LCD screen or shutter button 'wakes' the camera up from 'Sleep' Mode to get it ready to shoot again.
Powering up/down the camera via its On/Off switch takes time.... and can never be as quick as a Sleep Mode On/Off activation especially when powering On the camera
PLEASE .... please
RESTRICT the activation to ONLY a half-press of the shutter button ...... because whenever I or anyone reaches into the camera bag for the camera .... NOT ONLY will a casual touch of the LCD screen activate the camera..... the casual touch will almost always activate and/or reset some function on the LCD touchscreen....
Its natural for ANYONE to grab a camera from their camera bag with 4 to 5 fingers ....
a. I was accidentally shooting in another metering mode thinking it was Spot
b. Screen Shutter was activated accidentally
c. I accidentally moved from Aperture Pirority mode to P mode
d.
CONSTANTLY I was re-locating the AF focus box accidentally
e. I was accidentally shooting in JPEG only when I was supposed to be in JPEG + RAW (fingers must have accidentally done a tap dance on the LCD screen)
f. Whenever I hang the camera strap around my neck...... the camera of course will rub against my body/clothings...... yessssss..... the touchscreen LCD gets triggered and activated when this happens.....
g. etc etc etc........ u get the idea
The first couple days it was no big deal...... after a few more days.... it was not funny anymore....
I was just missing too many moments and situations because i was often busy re-adjusting this and re-adjusting that after pulling the camera out of the bag...
After a few days
I completely BANNED ANYONE (friends and even my own wife and 10-yr old daughter) from touching the camera... they were JUST accidentally resetting functions on the camera ANYTIME they touched it .....
this makes the camera socially unfriendly...... nowadays digital cameras are NOT only for taking pictures.... the pictures are shared with other people ON the SPOT and cameras nowadays are passed around the office/ dinner table/tour bus/plane/ taxi to share for viewing
.......a firmware upgrade to fix this
innovation OVER-Kill is entirely possible.... or at least an option to allow customers to choose to want or not want it.... I mean.... even a Nintendo DS Lite or a PSP has more finger/hand-hold space .... the GF2 is a 'fat finger' booby trap ..... so Panasonic, please consider this in your firmware before the camera is released to the public.
Otherwise its a WONDERFUL camera to shoot with...
