I agree.  But, in my time it takes more time than the return policy to learn a camera.  But if you have the opportunity to test it extensively during that time, you should be able to see ...

I can truthfully say that all my new cameras have never satisfied me at first.  But after using them for a while I get better results and learn to live with their idiosyncrasies and can compensate ...

Maybe he was camera shy!  Sorry, it's late in the evening and I just couldn't help myself.

I started photography as a child on a Brownie before I moved up to better cameras. But a Brownie never cost as much as a cellphone does, even in today's dollars. My father wasn't about to start me ...

I think that most people using smartphones instead of cameras just don't want to take the time use the settings in even small-sensor cameras.  Since smartphones usually get a good result without ...

Thank you very much.  I suspected the contacts because at the end my last trip with the camera it was very humid and I was in salty air and a slight spray from the side of the ship.

I was getting my Panasonic FZ200 ready for a trip and kept getting an error message saying to "Insert SD Card Again."  After several tries, the message has gone away.  Has anyone else experienced ...

You may be forced to have it repaired.  However, the cost of repair may not be worth it.  There are a number of used FZ200's on Ebay or you may want to spend a bit more and buy the FZ300.

I don't understand what you mean by "recording state."  Are you talking about the mode to which the camera is set?

I believe that earning to use a digital camera is like learning to use a computer -- sometimes experience is the best teacher. Just go out and have fun with the camera; get to know it; and then go ...

Or maybe he was just a troll.

With most user-manuals now available in PDF, searching for a topic or question that you have is very easy.  True, user-manuals are no longer pocketable, but I keep a folder of them on my laptop ...

Editing software manufacturers are always a little behind the release of a new camera in updating their RAW capabilities.  I think you should either wait and see if they release an update or look ...

I've had an LX100 since it first came out four years ago and have really enjoyed using it. When the LX100 ii was announced, I wondered whether it was worth the the investment in a camera that, ...

One of the best things about this camera, which I own, is that it is f2.8 throughout the entire zoom range.

I'm on my second DMW-CLX100 case. While it is nice that part of the case can be removed, I found that over time doing that makes the snap looser and that portion of the case fall off more easily. ...

Can you post your impressions in photo quality between the two cameras?
