I Still Own The Panasonic TZ1

It's been a while since I wrote a post on this blog. So a quick update. I still own and use my Panasonic TZ1. It has seen less use over the past few years though due to me just not really taking that many pictures anymore. I've kind of lost interest in it. I think part of the reason is how now, pictures have become so common with everyone owning smartphones, that they have lost some of their lustre. We, or I have become kind of desensitized to it all. Any picture, even really good ones, is just now another picture. No one bats an eyelid anymore. And, I also hate doing what everyone else is doing. And picture / video taking is so in-trend at the moment. Everyone with their Smartphones... I still don't own one and doubt I ever will.

Another reason is Google. I know there is more to the Internet than Google, but they have totally disowned blogs and don't show them any love at all anymore. Blogs have been buried. They don't get shown in the search results almost never. And if you do happen to write a blog post, your lucky if it ever gets indexed at all. It's terrible. No one ever sees your blog anymore or reads your content / views your pictures. So the incentive to keep updating a blog just isn't really there anymore. Why bother?

I will still update this blog sporadically here and there though. Because sometimes the interest comes back around to grab the Panasonic TZ1 and take some pictures. I do still love this camera and wouldn't sell it. This model has seen a rise in price over the last year for some reason. My camera could do with a new battery though. It's in bad shape. So I might buy one soon, if my interest in taking some pictures lasts long enough that is. If not I'll make do with the knackered one for a while. It still works but doesn't last that long.
