Thank you, Leoni. It’s very good of you to let me know that you find my postings useful. For the time being, however, any contributions I make are likely to be few and far between, if at all. So, ...

For what my input’s worth. In 2004 I Bought the FZ20 and took approximately 200,000 photos with it during a four year period. Except for the battery, which is less effective at holding charge ...

Thanks Jerry. I appreciate the comment. Cheers...

For ALL interested in High ISO shots. You’ll notice I that I not only like water voles but that their dark brown fur makes for ideal examples of striking a balance between detail retention and ...

Thanks for the input, Jerry. I'd say each to his or her own in terms of camera settings and testing. You have your charts and that's great for ya. The subjects I regularly photograph are my way of ...

Yep. There'll always be someone who finds a use for the next gadget, bell or whistle to be included in the spec of any new camera. :-)

Thanks for the link, geepondy. Nice one. :-) Cheers

You’re most welcome to my reply. Hopefully it will come in useful at some point. Just to add, however, that even if I were held at gunpoint, I still wouldn’t adopt Graham Houghton’s advice on ...

Thank you. :-)

Nice to see you’re still around on DPR, Gary. I’ve no experience of shooting 4K video myself but appreciate that the means to do so is included in the FZ330 spec. 1080p is more than sufficient for ...

Thanks Leoni. When shooting at full zoom with an FZ that has a slower maximum/wide aperture, say, F4.4 (FZ38) or 5.2 (FZ150), I prefer to shoot Shutter Priority. However, with the likes of the 330 ...

To be honest Leoni, I’d be surprised if some of the longstanding Panasonic faithful haven’t already bought bridge cameras made by other brands, most specifically Sony’s RX10 Mk4. The Sony is ...

Yeah, having been an FZ fan since 2004, I’ve monitored release dates of new cameras closely for years. On a few occasions when I used to visit here more often, I’ve even printed ‘em all out in ...

Yep, always been my opinion too, and despite the fact the 2000 is more video centric than the 1000, which of course I put down to developmental reasons and regardless of the fact that the older ...
