hay03,
I am so angry with my husband for choosing Panasonic! I still hope we can convert the photos to brighter colors since they appear alright on the camera screen, it's only when they are looked at on PC do they look so dull. Even clear blue sky seems to be not so sunny anymore! If u happen to know how, please let me know too. Thanks
Heidi, Candy....,
Do u mind sending me the links to your photos?! Thanks
sanjetma,
You are not going to Furano? I went to Lake Toya this time but this is the only place I will take out if I were to plan again. It's an old little town. Some of the shops are closed down. The boat trip is also not as extravagant as the one in Hakone. If u happen to bump into bad weather (which is very often geographically), u'll be very diappointed given 5 days holiday. I suggest Noboribetsu to replace Lake Toya for hot spring & volcano & it's nearer. If these are not what u want desparately, u may save that day for Furano & Biei. My two cents.
