I'm doing what I can to avoid dust on the sensor, using the "shield", using the sensor clean feature from the menu (does it actually do anything?), and also the occasional rocket blower action. ...

By a mistake, I once left a GH4 with the Samyang 12mm f/2 pointing 45 degrees upwards in the pouring rain for a long time. I took them in, left them to dry, and the gear all worked perfectly fine ...

Is it so that the Z9 eyepiece is only compatible with the Z8 (and not previous pro models)? My Z9 eyepiece fell off, most likely during normal use, hanging from a neck strap.

As you already have the 100-400mm lens, you could just get the 1.4x TC and see how that flies? This should be the cheapest solution and is a good way to test some birding.

f/6.3 is usually enough for birds. Much of the time, you'll need to stop down to f/6.3 or more anyway to get enough depth of field for the bird to be mostly in focus. The 500mm f/4 sounds like a ...

Lumix GH5 is my absolute fav over time. I used it for more than five years, taking it everywhere, during summer and winter, during weekdays and vacation. Lumix GH6 just doesn't cut it in the same ...

I don't have the Z7 II, but the Z7 I certainly has a very, very slow readout speed for electronic shutter. This mode is just unusable for any kind of action photos. It is only useful for landscapes...

Can we expect pre-capture in RAW, or perhaps HEIF format in the future? That is one feature that I am waiting for.

Also, open gate video recording in all modes would be good. At least in the modes...

In my opinion, PDAF is not a big deal unless you are photographing sports or moving wildlife (birds in flight and the like). So for landscapes, and even the occasional bird sitting on a branch, all ...

No offence, but I think that the talk about the 20mm f/1.7 being slow to focus is mostly an old urban myth. Back in the day, the focus was slow with first generation cameras. With newer cameras, ...

Very nice! Looks like most pictures are taken at 600mm or close to, with some in the range 300-500 as well. Just out of curiosity: What distance are you typically keeping to the animals in these ...

I think the G85 is a very good camera. Compact and capable. Very feature rich. A bit dated now, but still very usable. I use both M4/3 and fullframe. Nowadays, I have transitioned mostly to ...

Yes, I don't like AF-F, because it constantly refocuses all the time, while not recording video. Prior to starting video recording, I want to have control over the focus: Only refocus when I ...

New phase obviously means that Panasonic is finally implementing PDAF, which is probably too late by now. The illustration images seem to indicate that wildlife/sports is part of the appeal of the ...

The 12-32mm lens is very, very good. Especially considering the small size and low price. My review: http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2014/04/lumix-g-12-32mm-f35-56-review-small-and.html I have two ...

The 35-100mm f/2.8 seems like an attempt to replicate the classic 70-200mm photojournalist lens. To me it seems like a photo-oriented lens. But perhaps it was coveted by videographers as well, I ...

This page appears to be rather old now, referencing a six years old camera (G9). It is pretty clear now that Panasonic is exiting the wildlife M4/3 market, and retiring the long lenses is a part of ...

Perhaps this is a bit harsh, but I'm tempted to say "good riddance". I think this lens was a huge disappointment for me, especially since the 12-35mm f/2.8 is so good. The 35-100mm is good in the ...

I can see why it is popular, for sure! I can guess it attracts some bird photographers as well.

Just out of curiosity, what location is this?
