I agree. Your macros are great.

They are great cameras Jemma. I bought my first Lumix in 2007 & this is my 4th!

I have a panasonic Lumix, Z515 ( i need eye glasses!) I think my sensors have some spots on them.Have to get those removed.

Thanks Jemma, I've just invested in a Panasonic Lumix FZ200. Absolutely Tina! I'm about to experiment with a neutral density filter - otherwise I guess I will just have to cover the flash with opaque tape!

Congratulations! It sounds like you have a lot of fun ahead of you... Manuals (and experimenting) FTW :)
HemaShah
Congrats on the new buy. What kind if I may ask?
KarenL
Indeed Tiz! I'm loving it so far except for the fact that the flash is so powerful that even with the exposure comp maxed out my night time macros are over exposed. At the moment I'm partially covering up the flash with my finger but I will have to experiment with a more elegant solution!
Tiz
The new camera? It is a fantastic depth in the picture!
