I just ordered a lumix DMC-FZ 18 from germany.

What does /p/ think? It's my first camera and I'm just looking for a decent entry model to have fun with.

Bridge cameras are made of XBOX HUEG and failure.

Compact or SLR. Pick one.

why did you order it from germany when you can pick one up in most electronic or real camera stores?

I was thinking about buying a Lumix before I bought my Digital Rebel. If you can find it for 300-400 dollars that'd be ok, but if you're pushing 400-500 you may as well buy an slr with detachable lens. It's a nice camera though.

He didn't say where he's from. There are several eurofag countries where cameras are insanely expensive.

I can get it there loads cheaper from a specialized website.

Then I'm glad I got mine for €367.

I live in Holland. Ordering stuff from Germany is a regular thing for me and my dad. Lots of things tend to be overpriced in Holland, though I'm not sure why.

So the camera is ok, yes?

As long as you don't outgrow it, yes.

367 euro is around 500 dollars now...

And yes, the camera is ok, but there's a good chance you'll soon want to get something that doesn't suck so badly in low light, or fits in your coat pocket, or can shoot faster, etc.
