Took receipt of the much anticipated GX1 today with much relief; it's the most expensive thing I've ever bought from eBay! Let the learning begin... I'll be leaving the snapshot at home from now on.

I'm still working my way through the instruction book, but I expect this forum to be very useful too.

A warm welcome to you Sarah! Hope we can help you get to know your camera better and explore the world of photography. For now, enjoy your new camera, and don't forget to go out to take pictures after reading the manual!

Welcome to Camera Labs. It's an amazing site for camera equipment information. If you have any questions about your new G1 X, please feel free to ask; I've owned its predecessor, the Canon PowerShot G12, since it was release. Both cameras are as close to a DSLR camera without having interchangeable lenses.

Please check out these features:
Handheld Night Scene: allows you to take night shots w/o a tripod by taking and merging several photos.
Stitch Assist: allows panoramic photos from a number of shots.
HDR: allows for shots with bright and dark areas, combining several quick consecutive shots into one.

Sincerely,

Pardon me for butting in, but Sarah just bought a Panasonic GX1, not a Canon G1 X. I only mention this to avoid confusion because the GX1 is an interchangeable lens camera, but it does not have a Panorama or HDR mode.

Oops, apologies! My mistake, I should have been clearer. Yes, as Mark says it's the Panasonic GX1 that I've just purchased. Thank you all for the welcomes.

I attempted to take some photos of the birds in our garden this morning as we have a late start at work due to snow! All I can say is, lots of practice needed. The snow keeps coming out a bluish or grey colour. I resisted the temptation to just select the auto function though. If at first you don't succeed....
