Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FT6 Review - Good Food Blogging Camera?
I bought this Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FT6 completely by chance 5 months ago. I bought this ruggedised point and shoot camera for my trekking trips, but found that I like to use it for my food blogging too. It has picked up a few scratches here and there through 5 months of rough use but it still works beautifully.
