Not all of us. What would excite some of us, is a separate forum. I feel nothing in common with those who use this series of cameras------including what constitutes excellent photos. The ratio of...

The LF-1 doesn't have 60p video at 1920 X 1080. Whether or not it uses the whole sensor is not clear. The LX-7 uses only part of its sensor and the active section is no larger than the "1/2.3"...

Everyone will. And of course, they will tell us all about it, in an endless stream of platitudes. The annoyance level will be as bad as having to suffer through the photos of newborn children that...

The tape starts rolling more quickly when it's in video mode on the mode wheel. If you use Active mode, the higher magnification level shows in the viewfinder before you start shooting. When in...

Very nice. Be careful about getting close to those big fellows, as they can get testy if they decide that you are annoying them. The females can be just as bad, if they have calves around. The long...

Well of course you had to try it yourself. I'm surprised you didn't do it sooner. Not enough in these pictures to make any useful comments. More will be forthcoming, I'm sure. Maybe some...

There would be a lot of time and effort sending it in for such a minor repair. I'd use a small strip of black duct tape. Carefully applied, it would become almost invisible on the camera. Anything...

As  soon as you take a shot, if you want to take another immediately, half-press the shutter and it will end the review of the previous shot. You can let  the shutter button come back up without...

Video doesn't seem functional on Ipernity, due to the slowness of loading. Maybe it works better, closer to the server. But it will be only a photo-hosting website for me, unless there's a great...

Thanks very much. I am also amazed that it was so easy and simple to copy all my photos and get my titles and descriptions preserved. The people at Ipernity took a lot of effort to set up those...

I bought a 3-month Club subscription for $8.95 and copied all my photos there from Flicker. My Homepage URL is: http://www.ipernity.com/home/305883   Click on Photos to see the thumbnail view and...

Cancel the request for help. I just had to click on something else first, to bring up the Ipernity exporter. It seems to work too smoothly and logically to be true. Now I'll have to join the Club,...

I've been trying to follow the instruction "Click on Upload to Ipernity", but can't find any such thing on a Flickr page or on a photo. I've installed the three programs that are required on Firefox.

Advice? Here's mine: Save your money and stick with the Olympus EM-5. It's by far a better camera and much more versatile. If you're not satisfied with it, you haven't learned enough about how to...

Amazing. A man of travels and cosmopolitan tastes as yourself, not knowing that classic. I thought that song was embedded in all of us older than Generation X. Don't I remember Nat King Cole doing...

Mais oui, I registered with Ipernity earlier. Speaking French is a plus, but not at all necessary. The price for an unlimited subscription is certainly reasonable. As they say in an understated...

Well, as Larry says, these cameras will make bad decisions on ISO for you, if you don't keep an eye on them. I almost always use P mode and lock the ISO on 100 and raise it only when absolutely...

Nice to see a few places like that are still around. There seems to be an abundance of '50s and '60s cars there. Very good color and exposure. Did you take a ride on a jackass?

I had an HX300. It didn't focus as quickly or steadily as my HX200V, especially at long zoom positions. Its photos were not as sharp as those of the HX200V, and at high zoom, they were worse. The...

Most computers have card-slots. If not, a very inexpensive card-reader is a much better and faster way of uploading, than plugging the camera into a USB port. The file-loading program that came...
