Flamingo colour test

I took my new little point-and-shoot to the Calgary Zoo for the afternoon today. I wanted to test it out and compare similar photos taken recently with my old, half-working Canon S3 IS and very old Olympus C750 UZ. I found the Panasonic DMC-FZ18 a delightful camera to use!! It is light-weight, comfy and if I can use it, then anyone could. I kept it on Intelligent Auto to test out the camera and it seems to have worked reasonably well in various light conditions. I did use flash for some of my indoor shots. I wasn't sure what to expect for the colours from this camera, but I think this image shows that colours can be vibrant and accurate.
