Thanks to all who responded. I ended up getting an FZ35 from Ebay for $39 + $16 S&H. Looks like a new camera, I'd be surprised if it's shutter count is over 1,000. How would I check this? A few ...

Great idea! I still have a few issues of Popular Photography and Outdoor Photographer.

He's already been doing that for a couple of years with his ZS7. A photo he took at age 8 got 3rd place in the Macro Category in a state park photo contest. He beat several adults.

I’ll be buying a used FZ35 for my 11 y/o great-grandson. I’m looking for something that will give him tasks that will familiarize him with differences in exposure, DoF, speed etc. He’s a motivated ...

The FZ300 sounds like a great camera, but volume (HxWxD) is over 50% larger than the 150. The 150 is the camera I keep in my handlebar bag. For ready access in case I happen upon a photo op while ...

The moving water here isn't particularly beautiful, but the situation was interesting. These young Mallards were working to stay in one spot, despite a strong wind. Instinctively keeping their ...

Your entire set was impressive.  Thank you.

Mine replaced a Panasonic FZ1000. A definite upgrade in many ways, but not ease of use. Not completely replaced, Jane has the FZ now and sometimes I just grab whichever's closest. I supplemented ...

When I got my FZ150 I sold the FZ28 to a friend, who used it to learn the basics of photography. She now uses an FZ1000 and a Nikon P900 for wildlife, with some impressive results. When I told her ...
