You're not alone. I don't care about video and so far haven't found a need for it. Now, if I were on a cruise to Alaska and wanted some action shots of whales, maybe I'd use it. I have a D80 and it...

tedandtricia said, "The biggest issue is they are still vulnerable to is people doing all of their research on dpreview and then price shopping on the Internet to actually buy the camera." So the...

Nice shots, Einst. Shooting from a plane seat is one of the most challenging and you've nailed it. Nice little place to call home for the British royals :-)

I listed my major gear last night. I'm not sure how the Gearshop will add an advantage over Amazon, but we'll see.

Geez, I hope not. The people who are quick to dig the grave of the PC are those whose lives are wrapped up in their pocket-size smartphones who seem unable to leave the gadget alone for more than...

Yes, a beautiful scene. A bit much on the yellow side for my taste, especially when I think of Alaska. But, I'm just thinking warm vs. cool colors. Just noticed, after further inspection, what...

If Panasonic folds up the photo division, I'd suggest you move quickly on the FZ200. Prices will go up and many fence-sitting FZ150 owners may move on the FZ200 and use the 150 as a back up or vice...

I agree, Stuart. One of the positive aspects of photography is its ability to educate, to show all manner of life, and to provoke ideas, thoughts and feelings. How many of us have seen and...

You seem awfully convinced that your approach is the "right" one. I think you are being overly condemning and I doubt the tone of the lecture is necessary nor beneficial. Care is best applied when...

So sorry to hear of your father's passing. Some of the most challenging times during the first year after we lose someone so special are the holidays and events that we celebrated with our loved...

Still don't see whether Panasonic considers the camera division as profitable. The article does say "The company said it plans to restructure its TV, semiconductor, mobile phone, circuit board and...

Thanks, Bruce. In a world filled with so much trouble and obstinance, I found your photos, particularly the first one, quite calming.

Dave, I think this type of conversation is one of the things that makes the Panasonic Forum a good place to visit and share both ideas and photographs. Life, afterall, is much more than a...

Were it not for this man's unfortunate physical deformity, would this question even be asked? If it were an ordinary street photo of a person playing music, I don't think there would be questions...

Good advice, Bruno. Our inner voice usually gives us the right information.

Very little difference to my eye. I was perusing the Hoya filter website and came across this statement that I thought I'd share with everyone. Remember, Hoya is in the business of selling filters...

Best I could do was to eat a pork chop with bar-be-que sauce last night. If I had to do the killing, skinning, and gutting, I'd most likely starve!

Great, Alex. Thanks for finishing the scene for us. The tail almost looks like a tongue in the bird's mouth. Yes, nature is cruel for all creatures that are eaten. I only hope that we never learn...

Perhaps he has a hearing disorder or did not understand you. I imagine his picture has been taken hundreds of times because he is very interesting and somewhat startling. Please do not punish...

I agree with other posters. Avoid the FZ100 because it has a longer learning curve than the FZ150. The FZ35/38 has a great reputation, but is an older model. The FZ60 is a bit more than the budget...
