Robin Wong: This Old CCD LUMIX Compact Still Takes Beautiful Photos!

During my engineering days, I was stationed full time at a construction site. I was not happy with the company’s compact camera that they provided, which had bad image quality and no controls. I purchased the Panasonic Lumix LZ8 to be used for site documentation purposes, it has full manual control (ISO, aperture and shutter speed), more zoom capabilities (5x zoom) and the image quality was much better too. I still have that camera, and I thought it would be fun to bring it out for some street action!
