My latest acquisition is in the search of an alternative to the ever-rising cost of photography, where film prices and their associated services are ever spiraling rising in film photography, and where digital cameras are getting very sophisticated and may be too complex to be enjoyable for simple point-and-shoot image capture.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-S5 is a 16MP CCD sensor ultra-compact digital camera, not much bigger than my other favorite vintage, the Nokis Asha 300, and comes with a 4x Zoom Leica DC Vario, 6 elements in 5 groups with 3 aspherical elements lens. The specs look great, the cost is about equivalent to only a couple of rolls of film, and the fun looks forthcoming.
The camera was launched in 2012 and weighs 112 grams with a battery.
