Hi, my name is Ed. I was born and grew up in the South of Germany. I moved to beautiful Cornwall (UK) in 1982 and lived here since. My passion for photography was born when I purchased my first Sony Ericsson K800i mobile phone in 2006. 3.2 Mega Pixels, built-in Xenon Flash, image and video stabilizer function, BestPic and lots of creative/advanced settings akin to todays compact cameras.
Early last year I won £2000 on a lottery scratch card, a one-off (which was at the same time when I first heard of the new Panasonic Lumix GH2 rumours on the internet). I researched the GH2 and eventually purchased my unit including the 14:140 kit lens and a decent flashgun in December last year. Awaitng my Manfrotto legs and hybrid stills/video ball head in March.
May others be as lucky. I stashed my "win" in the drawer for many months. It was not easy but I promised to myself not to touch the cash or be damned. I wanted the GH2 very badly, my first big little digital camera! Today I feel it's the best thing I've ever done! What an upgrade from the K800i!
Thank you all in this global discussion forum for sharing your wonderful photos, your invaluable knowledge, good advice and fair criticisms on the Lumix GH2 and Micro4/3 lenses!
With kind regards,
Ed
