Thank you for your kind remarks Erik, best regards to you.

Very interesting, thanks for the reply Jerry. I do hear good things about the Sony, enjoy!

Nice observation Bruce; I would not disagree.  A little longer reach would further enhance one of the FZ’s big advantages over today’s smartphones - optical zoom.  A phone can cover almost ...

Queries on Flickr and 500px show that, day after day, the preponderance of images from Panasonic cameras were taken with the FZ1000 OG (mark 1 if you will) and the FZ200. The G9 is also among the ...

At B&H in person and using the web comparison sites. Personally, I vastly prefer using an EVF. Its easy to see, bright sunlight is not an issue, and pressing it against your forehead steadies the ...

Can’t argue against your choice. Have numerous X-Pro’s and they each have great IQ and provide a nice shooting experience to boot. Version 3 is quite the camera.

So I reviewed both cameras, but bought an FZ1000. True enough, the mark 2 has some interesting and useful improvements, but for me, not in the areas I’m most interested in: weather sealing and ...

Sounds to me like a new generation of lenses specific to each application of the sensor would be needed to take advantage of this. I highly doubt the market will support it. Good idea, but not...

Thanks Stevie, you make two interesting points that should be factored in: 1) the impact of default settings, and 2) whether or not the aperture was set at the sweet spot for the image.  Thanks ...

The Fuji X100V is indeed a great snap shooter. So well made. You do have to crop a lot when you want to fill the frame with any modestly distant subject though, thus not for me.

SBB, I honestly think you are just a more skillful photographer and image processor than most! I truly appreciate this review and did weigh its merits heavily, given your many writings on the FZ’s ...

Thanks for sharing Jerry, makes perfect sense to me!  Let’s hope manufacturers keeping investing in the bridge style camera.  They have one of the few abilities cell phones lack- extended focal ...

I’m an X-Pro user, have the X-E3, and find the IQ to be every bit as good as the X-Pro2, obviously as its based on the same imaging set up. I do love that’s is very portable.  Many times I’ve just ...
