I wonder why my Samsung Galaxy Note Cellphone can record FullHD for 50 minutes without any 30 minute limitation?

Frankly, I don't buy this WTO press-release. As far as I can see, the 30 minute...

Jack, the atmospheric haze certainly is what sends the ZS15 noise-reduction into a frenzy, but most of the artifacts in the images are the result of that frenzy, IMO :) Maybe Panny is trying to...

If the ZS15 had RAW it would be a *great* camera. But it doesn't, and my ZS15 also has problems with blue and green in its JPGs. See for instance the indistinct sides of this cruise ship when it...

You are using a RAW dataflow, I assume? I know the .RW2 software has to be chased down, but the LX5 in RAW is tough to beat... IMO...

OMG - that was the island where the monkeys were super-precocious and gave us a real hard time .. LOL We loved it just the same... My young daughter particularly enjoyed picking up the eels in her...

I wouldn't waste time on Nagasaki, it is off the beaten (Shinkansen) track and there is not much to see, in any case. As for Hiroshima, we were surprised by the same warmth you mention. Let...

Things must have changed a lot since 1958. We have visited Japan several times over the past decade. Most of the young kids speak English well, although some are still too shy to offer help. The...

Maloy, my cellphone can take excellent 1080p video.

I wonder why that capability has been added to cellphones? Perhaps because there is a demand? Because not all of us have our heads in the sand,...

Me !! I will pay 10% !! maybe even more.
After all, I did try and get an uncrippled one from Hong Kong, at a much higher price... But in 2012 Panasonic have limited all P&S cameras, worldwide, to...

Ben, thanks for your response.
China also only allows 2 batteries, per camera.
Oppressive? Well, you certainly won't get an ENG camcorder through customs unless your visa says "journalist" -- and...

China only allows one camera of each type for each visitor. I have to use the camcorder for A-roll, and my LX5 for B-roll (you do understand that nomenclature, I guess?)

But since you are...

I have only posted here 1647 times.In your eyes I don't count? Open your eyes. Every few weeks I record a conference session of around two hours, then extract the interesting stuff from it. I...

At the moment it is ALL OF THEM.
Panasonic, up until 2012, allowed unlimited AVCHD recording. The FZ-150 can record beyond 30 minutes, for example.

But all the Panasonic 2012 models, worldwide,...

Tethering is a perfect analogy.. it is up to the user to decide how to use the camera they have bought

Never had that trouble with my LX5. I run it until the battery dies some times, 2 hours and 30 minutes. Never overheated.

I wish people here would post based on personal experience, not hearsay...

Based on looking through all the Panasonic 2012 user manuals, it is clear that, regardless of country, Panasonic has crippled the maximum recordable FullHD video length to 29mins 59 secs....

Amazon says "in stock" Still no word whether the firmware version has changed :(

My ZS15 screws up images in its JPG processing firmware. At the pixel level it smears like a watercolor painting. Especially blues. This is often hard to figure out until you pixel peep. Only...

* Rubbish - the limitation that Panny put on FullHD for their 2012 US models is solely to protect Panny's camcorder product range *

WTO has nothing to do with this, outside of Europe. Here in the...
