I bought a Lumix DMC-G3 a couple of years ago. It had excellent reviews and they persuaded me that this was what I needed.
I use it mostly for photographing smallish objects - things that I collect, close up, tripod, natural light.
I thought this camera would do for a bit of a useless photographer with it's large LCD display, auto white balance, etc.
What I am finding, though, is that all the photos I take are quite dark - darker than on the LCD display and I have to edit them all in Photoshop.
I even use the 'brighten' facility when taking photos.
Have a look on my link 'pecadillo' below and you will see my latest photos which I have 'Photoshopped'.
I used to be quite good with the old manual SLR cameras (Canon AE-1, Yashica FX), able to get the right aperture/speed settings.
Any (sensible ) suggestions from your camera wizzo Funsters?
