DPR needs to add another scale to their chart - Fun. Pentax Q would rock that.

Loosen up peeps. Have some fun.

Thanks! I've got a KiwiFotos LA-52LX7 extension adapter, then a 52mm-49mm step down ring, then a 49mm wide angle hood. As you can see in one of the shots, the wide angle hood is causing noticeable...

Thanks Ted! The Q is so cheap that I'm not too worried. But still...

It is a RAM suction mount with a 1/4" 20 mounting. I'm still working up the courage to mount it in a place that I can't see LOL

I don't have an FZ200 but I do have an LX7 and a GH1/2. The AVCHD is a bit of a tricky to deal with, the high compression makes it a bit of a challenge to playback smoothly on slower systems. I've...

I bought the LX7 because it was a great bargain, had a really nice fast lens, shot HD video, had image stabilization, and was 24mm on the wide end. My goal for the camera, besides day to day...

The Day in Which a Panasonic LX7 and Pentax Q Pretend That They are GoPros  One of the reasons that I bought the Q (my second one, actually) is for shooting video. In my tests against other POV...

Yes, this is a crazy idea that just might make sense. I'm more interested in battery life than actual grip - the Q is fine as it is for my needs. Battery life is a big issue when shooting video....

I've made a number of blog posts about the V1's abilities as a sports shooter: The Nikon V1 is perfect for soccer moms and...

Here's some high ISO stuff, taken before I got the 18.5mm F1.8. Not bad, actually, and good enough to submit for possible publication. Eastport Maine, ISO3200, 28mm, 1/5s,...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnmflores/8610879829 Thanks. Take a look. I've pushed the sliders pretty aggressively (for me) because I'm trying to really accentuate the light and colors.

Just got an LX7 at the super cheap price (sub $300) and initiated it with a trip to NYC's Chinatown. Oh my, it's nice having a really fast zoom in a small package, and I prefer the small sensor in...

So can someone buy a smaller camera bag if they get the SL1 versus the T5i? If not, then what's the point?

Thanks for the kind words, folks. For the moving bike shots we had a RAM mount suction cup that worked quite well (as long as you triple-checked the suction before rolling off). We had Midland...

I bought the V1 for my motorcycle trips and was able to take it to Maine near the end of last summer. Well, my story deadline is fast approaching, and I'll be feverishly processing photos and...

The 18.5 makes the 1 almost good enough for indoor, low light candids of rambunctious children. Almost. Still, it's great for stills. But you can't shoot video without some type of support. Or...

...to provide greater dynamic range and low light performance. The 18.5 f/1.8 is starting to show that the 1 system is achingly close to being something really special. Dear Nikon, give me an extra...

I like it, don't love it though. I think a lens hood will help, but it's an otherwise pretty featureless cylinder. Takes good photos though, and that's what counts,...

We're in a golden age of quality and choice. There's not a bad camera over $500, yet we continue to kvetch and split hairs.Buy what suits you and shoot the hell out of it.
