Very nice especially the second one. Would love to see it a bit bigger.

Curious which card you use then? Manual says Class 4 or higher for AVCHD as well as for MP4 HD or FHD. This is just a 4 MB/s card so pretty old technology (the U3 for 4K is 30 MB/s).

There's 24p FHD in AVCHD according to the manual.

Works fine on my G80. Panasonic's 4K Photo mode allows to set the image aspect ratio and a faster shutter speed more suitable to still frames - of course if you don't mind 16:9 and 1/50 or 1/60 ...

Considering this camera for my wife, but the lack of a grip is a showstopper. Any solutions out there?

I feel that reviewers steering potential buyers away from a combination of a tiny camera body with a large lens are doing the vast majority of buyers a favour. Before I bought my Panasonic G80 I ...

I think that's the effect of the AA filter. My G80 delivers similarly crisp images at lower pixel density.

I just discovered that what I thought was a sale for the FZ300 at €299 was in fact an offer for the FZ200. Bummer. The FZ300 appears to be €459 at several dealers. For that price an m43 camera is ...

I've now looked at your FZ330 test images and will be showing them to my wife, along with the samples in the reviews that another poster linked to, to see what she thinks. I think the image ...

Thanks for those links; a lot of good information there. A question on the 'macro'  mode. Does that only work at the wide end of the zoom or can something useful be obtained at longer focal length ...

Thanks, she's used all kinds of things from a tiny p&s to my old E30 DSLR. Lately we've been sharing my G80 and that is really great for general images as well as flower close-ups, but she misses ...

Thanks, I will have a look later on my desktop.

Thinking about the FZ300 as a travel camera for my wife. Requirements : good outdoor pictures, capable of excellent flower close-ups and having sufficient zoom for isolating a landscape element or ...

Why does that matter for legacy lenses? They'll still be at the same distance from the sensor.

Nice images; it's my favourite wide-angle too.

Look for a camera with plenty of external controls (dials and buttons) so that you don't have to dive into the menu for every little change to the settings.

I don't know which is the best. It depends on how you want to shoot the cyclists. If you're just standing in the crowd along the route and want a few shots as they race by your position, then any ...

Yes, exactly. Are you now saying single coated is as good as multi-coated?

If you read around, you'll find that some of the E-Series lenses were single coated.

Bought a Marumi +3 close-up lens for my wife, but I wanted to try it out myself. Fitted on a 135mm f/2.8 AI Nikkor at f/8 it gave the following results: resized, not cropped resized, not cropped
