At least no forest-fire smoke!  I camped there on a bicycle expedition in 1971.

I'm a Canonian whose only non-Canon purchases are an LX7 and the antique FZ10 (f/2.8 from 35 to 420mm).  I look fwd to buying the FZ70 for its 20mm starting zoom.  Even better if the...

Just like they ruined Flickr!

Clothing optional.

The law is that you can take a picture of anything you can see from a normal position on a public way or property.  That does preclude arriving in a bucket truck on the public street and rising up...

Most of mine (about 100K digital images) never see the "light of day".  However, every shoot contains many images that are to some degree experimental as I try to improve my craft.  I get much...

Great video - I like the capture of people movement in almost every scene, even if indirectly as in the store clips.  Also, no-one seems to be aware of the camera with the possible exception of one...

Sort of.  Increasingly I just wear my s100 and sx40 when going out but bring my 6D and 7D and assorted lenses in the car in case I feel the need for more of a "pro" shot!

Len, caps and tripod collar Glass clean and blemish-free; barrel has moderate cosmetic wear. Bought used from B&H last year and little used since. Includes lens caps and tripod collar. Best used...

I have both.  I typically use the 24-105 on my 6D and the 70-200 f/4 IS on my 7D to get 24 - 320 w/o changing lenses.  As the longer focal lengths are more demanding the 70-200 is the right tool...

I already have a ballpoint pen that records (admittedly primitive) stills and video - and it looks like an ordinary pen.

I may have bought my last dSLR (Canon 6D). I doubt that future dSLR models will make any improvement at _my_ level of ability/talent. However, I'll still watch for good lenses.

Increasingly my...

Rokinon/Smayang.  I have and enjoy the 14mm f/2.8.

After I got my SX40 I converted my SX30 to infra-red. My 40D and 5D have become backups to my 7D and 6D.   My Rebels I gave away to family members.  My wife got my s90 after I got the s100.

Get the SX50 - it's a well-known quantity.  The only reason I personally would consider the fz70 now is its 20mm wide end, but your post speaks to needing extreme telephoto.  I will probably get...

Me too, fantastic deal! (received 7/23 as a backorder). I could buy an EF 35mm f/2 lens by itself for about the same price. Reminds me of the economics of cheap watches: the battery and the wrist...

The lens would freeze in the extended position.  This affected s/n's beginning between 29 thru 41 but I can't say for sure that that problem completely disappeared above 41. I love my 100 but it...

Where are the moderators???

Maximizers will always be disappointed in this model when the next model comes out!

The s95 also has problems with a hazy center area even where no sun glare is involved.  I would just get the s100 or s110, or if you want to go off the reservation the Panny Lumix LX7 is a great...
