yes, your FZ200 shots are much sharper, but my FZ150 doesnt exhibit the softness I see here.

Yes, our retina is spherical and we perceive straight lines as straight.

This is garbage, take a video instead. Just looks like someone hung a shade screen in front of the camera.

The 'artifacts' are also observed on the window edges are most likely atmospheric thermals. You don't want to know what they look like here in the Arizona desert at half that focal length.

Where are you seeing that only limited resolution is avail at max focal length?

yeah the picture is totally black on camera and computer when the previous image taken a few seconds earlier was perfect. will try your software on the card. thx for the support.

ugh, me wantum exclusive carrying strap. that's right, cavemen will be the primary customers.

Thats pretty wacko, my Zeiss Contax lenses have been stored in the original Contax leather pouches for up to 30 years without any issue.  Always use front and real lens caps to store your lenses. ...

thx, I'll try a custom WB, kind of surprised the flash wb is so warm, not my experience from other cameras.  Yeah, I was tweaking raw files and it works very well, was just getting too time...

Using a Sunpak 555 on my 5D2 in manual mode set to AWB.  I have both PC and hot shoe connectors for the flash.  If I use the PC sync cord flash shots come out at 4200K which is typical AWB. ...

of course you need to meter off the horses and then underexpose to offset the 18% gray reference.  dynamic range is insufficient to get both whites and blacks. Biggest concern is that the...

so be it.. again are the CC concerns real or just paranoia?

manipulation editorializes the image to suit the authors agenda. complete loss of objectiveness. nice to know that muslim animals are the recommended journalistic subjects for dpreview.
