Any single number can be misleading, so they can be faulted for giving it excessive prominence.   However, if you read the entire test, they provide a lot of useful information, including ...

I learned about this one time when I was on a trip. I bumped my Canon 24-105. The UV filter on it cracked, and jammed on the lens so I couldn't remove it. I continued shooting with it, and...

I bought this compact external flash recently and started using it at a party in bounce mode.  It's a good thing I checked the shots right away, as they were seriously underexposed on my GX7.  ...

The 14-140 I had was one I bought used on eBay.  It worked OK for about a month, but then the lens body started to wobble on its mount.   When I opened it up, I saw a dab of glue at the base of ...

Here's another one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS1t7JcAt9w Around the 15 minute mark, he notes that when the camera is powered off, the sensor jiggles when touched.  He also surmises that, ...

This guy also says you should not turn it off after running the cleaning mode if you are going to clean it manually: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff0OA4lY-gI He says that leaving the camera ...

I recently upgraded to an A7RII. I'm aware that sensor cleaning is a menu option, and I have used it several times. However, it does not clear all the dust and I have to go in and clean out the ...

In-camera charging is of little value for anybody who takes more than a few pictures a day.  The main benefit of it is as an emergency last resort in case you have lost your external charger. The ...

There is both a GX9 and a G9, both of which resemble it in many ways.  The GX9  is smaller and cheaper than the GX8, while the G9 is more powerful, larger, and more expensive. It's possible that ...

I got a good price on a used Pen-F last year so I bought it.  I like its compact size and general ease of use, but I don't like the lack of a built-in grip.  In general, yes, it is a nice looking ...

Like with everything else, the news reports focus on the few bad events. Out of millions of transactions on Craigslist, there might be a few crimes. If you arrange to meet in a public place (e.g., ...

The quality of your camera is just about the last thing you need to worry about in selling stock. What counts most is your ability to create popular subject matter that is in demand.  BTW, many ...

When I sell something, I try to start out with Kijiji/Craigslist.  If there is a good local market, I would rather save the eBay commission, and sometimes this works for very popular items.  ...

The Nikon E series was their lower grade "budget" line.  The 28mm would be expected to perform somewhat worse compared to a dedicated M43 lens, as it is a retrofocus design needed to deal with the ...

Sorry, never mind. I just read this other thread: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4287194 Once I "parked"   the IS by waiting before powering off the camera, it is fine.  No more rattle.  ...

I slid the rubber down on my lens, but the rubber around the screws appeared to be fine, and just like in the OP's photo after the fix. Mine has quite a distinct rattle, that appears to be in the ...
