I'm in Miami on business for a couple of weeks and might actually get a day off. I'd welcome ideas for places to go to take some photos. Wildlife would be good but my reach is limited to 250mm EFL ...

I'm not sure what you mean by "two shots". As already noted, the shutter may sound like it is taking two shots when it is only taking one. If you see two identical images on playback, perhaps you ...

FZ300 also adds WiFi.

Your camera has DFD-AF so I don't know why it "takes a minute" to refocus. Are you shooting stills or video? As noted, turn off matrix focus and try a large 1-area focus box instead. And tracking ...

This similar thread ended up with a happy owner of an FZ1000II. You might too! https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4592475

As others have already noted, the obvious replacement for the FZ200 is the FZ300. Same great optics plus weather sealing, faster DFD auto focus, better viewfinder, WiFi, and 4K Photo modes (not ...

Since you're waiting until you stop, why not take the extra precaution of putting the ZS100 inside a Ziploc plastic bag?

https://youtu.be/xCv88xSywjU In addition to what is presented in the video, 4K Photo Mode also allows racking the focus, allowing one to select the best focal plane or to do focus stacking in-camera. ...

Yeah, Graham Houghton is fairly well known in these circles.

The FZ200 is a good option for that class of camera. Faster lens, better EVF, articulating LCD, and better performance. It lacks the FZ70's one-trick reach but the FZ200 is a better all-around ...

Surely you are aware of the zoom slider on the FZ330, which puts zoom control under your thumb instead of at your shutter finger. I only mention it so that others are not misled by your comments. ...

If you can locate a service manual it should include full disassembly instructions. I'd print out the relevant pages and place any removed screws or parts on the section that directed their ...

I've found that by using the EVF with my right eye and keeping my left eye open, if I adjust the camera until both eyes are looking at the same point I'm able to better track a flying bird. It ...

The full-range aperture of the FZ330 is quite liberating, allowing one to pick their aperture and it stays there no matter what focal length they zoom to. No stopping down as you zoom in or ...

Yeah, perhaps they meant the ZS10 rather than LX10.

The SX30 is slow. The SX40 doubled that speed and was still slow. The SX50 doubled the speed yet again, finally providing acceptable performance. Panasonics have a reputation for high performing ...

The following discussion may be of interest to you. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4567916

If the unit is a North America NTSC model, the video frame rates offered should be divisible by 30 while PAL model video rates should be divisible by 25. If the opposite is true, then the previous ...

AF Lock should help by holding the focus where it is. You could also use MF, which will keep the focus fixed where you set it. Your camera likely has an MF-Assist mode that will enlarge the view ...

Likely an NTSC vs. PAL model issue. I think NTSC models offer the somewhat faster frame rates due to their 30 fps legacy vs. 25 fps for the PAL world.
