It seems DXO Mark agrees with you. FZ200.  37 FZ330.  38 FZ70.   41 ZS60     37 ZS50.    44 Indeed there appears to be a bit of backsliding there. Andrew

I doubt that. Go to the Setup menu,screen 1, bottom tab, Beeps. Turn off the artificial shutter sounds. The real shutter sound is very quiet. If you press the shutter button while someone on stage ...

Hi John, I agree with Roger. I never use iA Mode for anything as it gives you no control over the active af area or anything else. For wildlife /action I generally use S Mode and a shutter speed ...

Do you mean review, if so turn auto review off in the menus Live view is just Panasonic speak for image preview in the EVF or on the monitor Yes, although there is a small blackout after each frame ...

The LX10 and, as far as I am aware, every other compact, has lens based IS. There is not enough space in a compact for IBIS. Andrew

Hi, Bruce is correct in identifying the E Shutter with fluoro or other non continuous lighting as the cause of the banding. If you go to the menus and switch off the artificial beeps which make ...

Hi, The FZ300 is a better camera with better EVF, AF and ergonomics. You buy it once but use it thousands of times. Get the FZ300. Andrew

Hi Kevin, I bought an LX15 and found it one of the least satisfactory cameras I have ever owned. No EVF, no handle, awkward aperture ring the 2 lugs of which always seem to be in the wrong place, ...

My own view but I find a well implemented control dial (better still 2 dials)+mode dial layout much more efficient. Dream on but the laws of physics are against you. The effective diagonal of the ...

Very nice, Thanks for posting. Andrew

I had both LX 100 and LX 10. The LX 10 has dreadful ergonomics, no handle and no EVF. I also bought a Sony R X 100 (4) and tested this against the LX 100. The Sony made slightly but consistently ...

Thanks for the information. Andrew

It is not so much my stoic qualities but the lack of product of interest to me from other makers. Andrew

My 12-60 zooms are both good, thef3.5-5.6and the f2.8-4, but over the years I have had more unacceptable lenses from Panasonic than good ones. This applies to both primes and zooms for M43 and ...

Either 400mm or 480mm is often a bit on the short side for birds although the FZ1000 will take a  crop without too much loss of quality. I have been using the FZ1000 since release and the FZ2500 ...

Hi Marie, I used an LX100 extensively for two years, photographing in many places around the world. I (like Andreas Braun) found that the best way to use the camera is to set the aperture ring and ...

Hi Raz,  Suggest you handle both GX80/85 and G80/85 before purchase. I have had both and find the G80 is much more secure and comfortable in the hand with a more user friendly set of controls, all ...

Congratulations. I rate swallows about the most difficult of birds to photograph in flight and have not managed it yet. Well done. Andrew

FZ300  One from yesterday. Good choice. The FZ300 is one of the best and most versatile all purpose cameras available, certainly the best with the small (7.67mm diagonal) sensor. If you would like ...
