It may not as a surprise to a lot of you, but I've been a fan os Pasasonic cameras from the start with the LC1. I've had since then the L1 (one of the best cameras ever to be produced IMHO) and followed by the L10, which had the sharpest image of them all. Sadly the market didn't see it that way and both cameras quickly became out of fashion. Panasonic carries some of the blame here for pricing the L1 with the excellent PL 14-50 f2.8-3.5 lens. If you ever get a chance to pick one of these up, do it. The image quality is excellent.

I digress. This post is about a software  package called Snapseed by Nik. I've got it for the Windows platmorm but it is available for most platmorms. This image was fed through this piece of software and it is quite versatile. Lots of features and not a lot you can do wrong. Well worth the 15USD I paid for it. I'm beginning to like it a lot. But don't overcook your images.

The reason I started this post ranting on about Panasonic is because this image was taken with the Panasonic LX5 P&S camera. Again one of the best P&S cameras ever made. It really is in a class of it's own. It's so good that Panasonic haven't replaced it as of today but there are roumours of the LX7 coming out shortly. One reason I like it is that I can fit the EVF I use on the GF1 on it. Remember I need one of those. I just can't take pictures with the camera at arms length.
