I'm visiting Saudia Arabia for work and took a short stroll along the Red Sea and ran across a few Rüppell's Weavers. This one wasn't camera shy. Rüppell's Weaver Rüppell's Weaver

You might also consider the DC-ZS200 with additional reach. It also includes a better grip and EVF upgrade.

The Canon superzooms have the reach but they have traditionally been slow. I think they doubled the speed over the SX40 with the SX50 but apparently that wasn't enough!

I suspect that when this feature was first implemented many years ago that the camera's code was optimized to allow it to work work with the rather meager processors of the day. It likely hasn't ...

Extended optical zoom shouldn't decrease IQ. At full zoom you will get a straight crop of the sensor. At all other focal lengths you will get an interpolated reduction from whatever portion of the ...

I see that the new 35mm Panasonic cameras include a new hybrid phase detection auto-focus system. Who here is dreaming (drooling?) it'll make it into compact models someday soon? Will it?

I have a circular polarizing filter and find that its affect on the sky is more difficult to "see" as I turn it than wirh a linear version. I do see a more dramatic difference when using the CPL ...

Glad it wasn't actually stuck! When you turn the polarizer, it changes the filter aspect so doing so will modify the sky or through-water filtering affect on the image.

You are likely turning the polarizer but not unscrewing the filter. Try turning the knurled part of filter behind the section that "spins".

From the FZ200 service manual:

I use a Lowe Pro bag for my FZ200, placing it sideways grip-up for easy grabbing. FZ200 in bag The somewhat larger FZ300 might fit better lens-down in my bag, which should still allow for easy access.

The TX2 claims a new lens but then every aspect noted is identical to the existing ZS200 lens. There's nothing there to back up the NEW claims!

You'll quickly learn to remove it when using the flash as the petals will cast a nasty shadow. Otherwise, there's really no reason to remove it if you don't want to. Note that you can also reverse ...

Of course you can . Just be wary if you should .

Stacking filters can lead to jammed threads, vignetting, or image degradation. I grew up in a time where one typically slapped a UV filter onto a new lens before it ever saw the light of day and ...

The FZ300 offers four specs in its favor: (1) Full-range f/2.8 lens (2) 600mm EFL reach (3) Smaller size/weight (4) Weather-sealing ...
