Yup - I have just ordered a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 from a Parallel Importers in another city. My camera died in Thailand after a mishap involving a kayak and, er, the sea, and I have been borrowing one for the last few weeks, and finally I have found the camera for me. I couldn't afford a digital SLR but this one is at the higher end of point-and-shoot digital cameras, and, even with postage, this is a lot cheaper than getting it at a camera shop in my city. I've seen several very positive reviews of this camera, one going so far as to say there is nothing wrong with it, so I am very excited about getting my parcel in the next few days.
How was everyone's Christmas Day? Mine was sunny and beautiful. We had a fantastic brunch at my sister's house in the late morning - Eggs Benedict, pancakes with mixed berries and cream, croissants, fresh orange juice, COFFEEEEEE. My sister has just sold her house and so it was bittersweet that it would be our last Christmas there - it is a lovely cosy old villa with a cottage garden and a swimming pool. Then we had a barbecue in the evening at my brother-in-law's parents' house. Boxing Day was not so nice, weather-wise - it rained all day - but today is another perfect summer's day, and my gran and two aunties took me to the beach via the hills for lunch. I love summer!

Congrats on the camera! We tried to have a holiday brunch this year, but we ended up just having breakfast then lunch because no one knew what a brunch was.
Nice toy! Sounds like a lovely day. I will post about mine soon. That b-b-q sounds mm-mm-GOOD!
Oooohhhh, am so jealous! Of the camera; of the sunny weather; of the brunch-and-bbq.

Popping over from Tourette's Mom's blog. Your camera looks very awesome! Merry Christmas!
Oh wow...I totally want to try Christmas in your neck of the woods someday!
Can't wait to see the cool shots you'll take with the new camera!
