I love to travel and the camera is never far from my hand. I am married (to the same woman for 35 years!!!) and have two grandsons who, if I didn't use a digital camera, would have cost me a fortune in getting pictures developed (remember those days?) Loved my Lumix DFZ7 which I have had for about 6 years and have just bought a canon EOS 1000D which I am loving. I use Paintshop Pro to play around with my photos.
