Does the shutter still make that awful clunking noise?

Good suggestion, thanks. I've now looked at some of his books on Amazon UK, and they seem just what I was looking for (except for the price !). Ray

Thanks for replies - I knew it was possible to order direct from the US, although I thought it would be more expensive to post. Surprised there is no UK distributor though. Ray

Totally agree. And compounded by the fact that you can't use the FT1 to replicate fast primes in the wide angle to normal range because of the large crop factor. Ray

Followed a link from HZP on another thread, and enjoyed reading Barney Britton's first impressions article. This highlighted, for me, that there are 2 types of user guide - the first type describes...

Does anyone know how to acquire a Franiec or similar grip for the J1, in the UK. Ray

Anyone got any recent sources of news or rumours on new lenses for the N1 system? I was thinking that I might use the FT1 with a "nifty fifty" or something wider with my J1, to get some shallower...

Sorry for the delay in replying, been trying other software. Thanks Claude for your suggestion. It's made a significant difference. Ray

I have just read that Photoshop is able to switch to a full screen view. I mainly use PSE9 for tweaking colour errors in my theatre portrait JPEG's (I'm partially colour blind so need all the auto...

Thanks for all your help. Off to my favourite photo shop tomorrow (with several coats !) Ray

I am teetering on the edge of buying the J1 before the current UK £50 cashback ends on 2nd. April - but which kit to buy ? I am planning to use it to replace my too-large FZ150 plus my GH2 with...

Phew! Many thanks Colin. The credit card is poised. Ray

I had been planning to buy one of these (probably the TZ25) to provide a pocketable replacement for my stellar FZ150 - then I heard that they produce a discernable shutter noise which can't be...

Glad you're enjoying your trip and birthday, and with some great photos. However, TERRIBLE news on Rob Karter's thread, that the shutter is not silent and the noise can't be turned off. This would...

Hi Rob, thanks for the warning on shutter noise. As a lot of my shots are in theatres and concert halls that's an absolute no-no. What are Panny thinking of - surely the whole point of a high-end...

You can't have been watching this forum too closely then, as there are several threads with examples - I particularly liked David Wrigley's stunning portrait example from his "TZ25 arrived...

My goodness, the detail in that is enough to render my £1000 portrait camera redundant. What lighting did you use? Is that straight OOC? Ray

Gerald = many thanks indeed, this sounds like the perfect pocketable replacement to the FZ150, and may I echo stevetexas and thank you for this excellent early review. It's started to appear in...

Gerald Once again can I ask about the burst mode - the UK spec. sheet says it does 10fps against the FZ150's 12 fps, however, it seems most of us FZ150 users use the 5.5fps burst mode with...

Gerald, one of my chief delights with the FZ150 is the 5.5fps with AF - it's been great for sports photos for me. I've been trying to find out if the TZ25/ZS15 has the same facility - can you...
