Many retired or deceased photographers can't give away their original artwork. It's not uncommon for whoever inherited the work to throw them away. This had been discussed in a recent issue of...

> The sad truth is that yet another stable family oriented occupation is being replaced by basically nothing because of greed on both sides of the fence.

Not necessarily true. Very often the...

The good side of the bad is that the photographers are now free to take other, potentially more lucrative, jobs elsewhere.

If you still don't know by now, the "gold/silver award" system is DPR's way of saying "well, the point system doesn't mean really anything, here's how I...

GH3 is Panasonic's flagship camera.  You can look it up here in the camera database.  There is also an in-depth review here in DPR.

Great, great photo. The protester's smile, his victory gesture and the policeman's eyes. What a great moment.

Most commenters who made snide remarks here missed the last paragraph of this brief news piece:

"We'd recommend not getting too excited about this, since large technology companies file patents...

I have some 45-175 images here , both taken on the long end.  You can decide for yourself whether it's good enough for you. Richard

GX1.  Small, easy to use, no fuss, good picture quality.

Very helpful comment, Najinsky.  That's exactly what I planned to do.  I don't expect full immersion, but occasional splashes is probably unavoidable.  With weather sealed body and lenses, I think...

Agree.  The Wifi control on my GH3 works quite well, and support focus point selection and touch screen focus and trigger.

Can you rinse a weather sealed camera under tab water to clean it?  What is the recommended method of cleaning after a weather sealed camera is soiled? I have a GH3, which is weather sealed.  After...

Yes!  You can do it.  You can set one of the custom Fn buttons to activate focus point selection (I use Fn1).  When you are using LVF2, press Fn1, then move the focus point with the 4 way direction...

It's too confusing to have an award and a separate score. Since the score is a composite of many parameter, it really means different thing to different people, which means it has no fixed meaning...

This is just a general FYI.  If you have the GH3, you can do pretty much everything a cable can do with their remote app.  You can see what the camera sees, remote trigger, even touch screen...

Beware of the tiny buffer size of 7100 if you shoot sports in RAW.

Right, I've seen those before.  It's has good entertainment values, but not a lot of practical meaning. But now that you brought it up, curiosity got to me.  I adjusted exposure of some recent...

josbiker, you asked an important question. I think we all have to learn to trust our own eyes.  If you don't see a difference, you don't see a difference.  Many people here are trying so hard to...
