Panasonic Lumix-GF1 with 14:45 lens
We were given this camera second hand by a friend (who we will love for ever). It is excellent at taking photos in daylight of children in motion. Since we didn’t have a video camera we used the video setting on the GF1 to film most of the footage for Ordinary Child.
The underwater shots were taken with a Canon S95 wrapped in a heavy duty plastic bag with weights taped onto it to stop it floating up. We dived down and placed it at the bottom of the pool. You can buy special waterproof camera bags for this purpose.

Second hand camera lenses (often barely used and sometimes even new in the box) and also cameras, for good prices and the flexibility to sell back to the shop if you want to try something else after a while. Great advice and technical expertise for those who’d like to experiment but don’t have the budget to buy multiple lenses on the off chance they like them. LensSearch also sells second hand camera bodies.
