The new Pany test: Sam's Rose

After dithering about replacing Poorly Pany, the Keeper of the Coffers said I should go buy another. So I did! Eventually I'll get £100 back from Panasonic so it'll be a reasonable price.
This is the test shot of Sam's rose growning & thriving on neglect in my garden, a bush which has turned itself into a climber with the intention of moving over the fence to our neighbours.
I'd copied all the twiddly bits from the original FZ1000.

@fbailey Pany FZ1K2 is the first camera not to have a doggie as test subject. Rosie, who lives next door had been for a sleep over but had gone back home when the camera was ready for testing. Sam was second Silky boy so his rose was a good substitute.

oh you are going to be delighted with this - what a lovely DOF!

@koalagardens It's a camera I REALLY like, feel comfortable with and can handle without looking at the buttons. My only concern is that as I become older I will find the weight too difficult.
Thanks very much

Very nice shot.

@joev Thank you, Joe. It's a heavy camera but if it becomes too heavy there are always other models. For now, I'll enjoy it.
