Thanks guys! Allan, Mrs T has made me clear up the house, it looks almost habitable now.
Below is my fun ticker. Both these shots were hand held and I suspect there is just a tiny amount of shake in them (mini-tripod lost in house tidy

), the lighting is from halogen spots in the ceiling of our kitchen and I left white balance on auto. The glass in that Breitling is sort of yellow, so that scale around the case has come out pretty much right, although you might expect it to be white.
This V-Lux1 seems to be a very capable and versatile camera, I have no doubt that when a few decent photographers get hold of them we'll see some excellent shots here.
Please V-Lux1 owners post your shots, good or bad, let's see what this thing can/can't do,
while the magenta boys are wailing and gnashing their teeth over on the digital forum.
Cheers,
Pete.
