NEW CAMERA

NEW OLYMPUS

         

NOUVELLE OLYMPUS

Today I bought a new camera since my dear 5060 didn't like the raft trip and is acting up on me.

I got the Olympus 510, this is not the latest one from Olympus but it has a nice 10X zoom and the lens is about 35 - 250.

It got so many features and options it is going to take me a while to get used to it...
Below a photo of the camera and few shots of "practicing" with it...
  Aujourd'hui je me suis acheté un nouvel appareil photo, un Olympus 510. Ce n'est pas le dernier model d'Olympus mais presque. L'appareil a un zoom de 10x ce qui me fait un objectif de 35 à 350.

Y'a plein d'option de de posibilitées je vais mettre du tempa bien m'habitué a tout.

Ci dessou une photo de mon nouvel appareil et des photos "essais" prise y'a quelques minutes...
