I know I said I wasn’t going to add anything more, Felix, but I couldn’t leave for a few days without acknowledging your post. Thank you again for your kind words; I sincerely appreciate them. :-) ...

Absolutely no apology necessary from you, fujix; and my knickers aren’t twisted in the slightest. Let me assure you that it would take far more than any thread or post on any photography forum to ...

Noticeably shot with a plain background, nothing like in the OP. Cheers and all the best to ya...

Please note; When I originally replied to this thread, the topic was FZ 1000 2 Vs Smart phone, no mention by the OP of full frame or APSC size sensors. From contributions made below, it now ...

Thank you very much, Felix. I really appreciate the acknowledgment of my post and I trust that you’ll enjoy your in-coming FZ camera regardless of what you shoot with it. For further explanation of ...

Hi I 100% agree that BIF shots are overrated, at least generally speaking and subject only to very rare and excellent exception. Despite my having been a wildlife photographer for longer than I ...

Hi It appears that the smart phone’s blurry background algorithm cannot account for gaps in the subject’s hair. Although I’m not really a pixel peeper, my attention when first viewing the phone ...

Thanks for acknowledging the replies, Mike, and for posting a second/better photo. :-) Great that you’re sorted. As an old-school purest photographer, I don’t and probably never will use either IA ...

Hi Mike, I suspect the camera took a downward dip at the point of shutter actuation, perhaps due to windy conditions and/or because of unstable shooting technique, which may well be evident in some ...

By what I’ve read above, it appears that you don’t format any SD card even when it’s brand new. This may well have contributed to the problem you describe with HD video recording, especially if, ...

Hi I know nothing about the GX9, except what I read in relation to its opinion-dividing viewfinder and hinged rear screen. Checking the specifications confirms that the viewfinder is larger and of ...

Admittedly it doesn’t reveal what the future holds for compact cameras, but the article I’ve linked here at least shows mutual commitment still exists between Panasonic and Leica in terms of ...

Yes, I can imagine that interesting and creative shooting opportunities arise at the highly populated swanery, Chris. As I acknowledged in my previous post to you, it must be a spectacle worth seeing.

Thank you, Rodger. Yeah, for the crop sizes, I'm more than happy with the level of detail from the M4/3rd sensor and the light and portable package of the G100 plus 45-150 lens. As a whole, it's ...

Thanks for the acknowledgment, Felix. I’m pleased that you found my reply and linked user review of the G100 useful. If you do go on to purchase a copy, even if only for its impressive still image ...

Thanks again for yet another compliment, Cruisin’. You’re making me blush now. :-) No matter whether it’s photography or writing, the more we practice, the better we should become. It seems to me ...

Thank you very much, Ds. I appreciate your post. Glad you liked my images. :-) Happy shooting to ya. Cheers...

No, Chris, not there. Not wishing to appear high and mighty in any way, I prefer much more of a challenge than having photo opportunities presented to me on a plate. That said, it must be ...

From what I’ve seen on your other threads, chances are that your camera is/was faulty out of the box. If so, the question is, are you happy having paid full price for a unit that possibly needs ...

Hey there, Cruisin, It’s nice of you to drop in with a comment. Thank you very much for the compliment re my images; I appreciate it. Good to know that you’re now a G100 owner and that you’re ...
