Some of you post amazing close ups of flowers and panoramic views of
gardens. What camera do you sure?
I listened to an experienced photographer some 2 years ago and got a
Fuji finepix 602 but it is incredibly complicated for what I want to
do
, what with macro switches, manual controls, close up and fast and
slow
speed settings etc. It is also heavy and quite bulky though I have no
doubt to an experienced photographer it is the Bees Knees.

Would like to get a new camera (flog the old one - we're not a 2
camera
household!) something I can use on flowers plus getting panoramic
views
of gardens and our club shows etc to put in the newsletter. (As Editor
and printer I have to resort to drastic measure sometimes to get
content
for the pages!)

Brother suggest a Panasonic dmc tz3 and the original friend who is
also
photographer says to consider a canon umix 750

Any recommendations?

Janet,

You probably think that the camera is complicated because you are not
familiar with the modern camera. The reviews on it are good
http://tinyurl.com/2hsuny
and you have a good camera.

I know very little about digital cameras so, if I were you, I would
befriend someone who is into this type of photography and ask him/her to
'walk' you through the steps that you are likely to encounter. Make
notes of settings required for particular circumstances and build from
there.

Failing that approach you could Google using: digital camera tuition
or try your local education system for an appropriate course.
