I've been using these Lumix bridge cameras since 2005 and was immediately impressed by the simplicity and quality of what was on offer. The new FZ45 continues the theme and I've been pleased by the results so far. With a 32gb chip on-board I can shoot without regard for how many I'm taking. It's still lightweight and fits my hand well. The battery lasts longer than before and seems to charge more quickly; perhaps I'm more patient now!
This is a well thought out camera that makes photography very enjoyable.

Essential equipment
As a newcomer to beekeeping I found that there is a lot to learn. More than I anticipated. It's essential to join a local beekeeping group as the help you should get is invaluable. And advice is essential, too.
We all built our own hives, but we didn't get the guards until we took the hives home. So I would suggest that if you buy a hive, buy a guard as well and fit it.
This one is reversable, so can be used when transporting the hive to a new location.
