I never noticed this before, but mine does something similar. However, it has never been a problem, obviously, because I did not notice it. It is not something that I will worry about. Like I said ...

Yup, mine has lens creep also. This is my favorite lens and I love it, but the lens creep is a bit annoying at times. I know that there have been other comments on this forum in the past about ...

Good point. Regards, Dave

OK, I don't have a FZ1000, but all of my other Panasonic cameras have the ability to change the brightness of the EVF. Go to the symbol in the menu that looks like a wrench (spanner). Depending on ...

Is it possible that the brightness was turned down via the menu? Go to settings > monitor display. When you look through the EVF it should change to viewfinder display. While still looking through ...

Thanks for the info. Good to know. I remember reading about some problems with Panasonic repair facilities a few years ago, but I think that was a Texas repair center. Regarfs, Dave

The PL 50-200 is glued to my G9 most of the time. I love that lens. I had the 1.4 TC and thought that it did a very good job, but I sold it. I had done quite a few test shots using a test chart ...

I fully agree with saudidave. I had a Sony RX100 mk6 and the IQ was truly horrible from WA to telephoto. I sent it back and bought a TZ200 and the difference was night and day. My copy of the ...

If by "teleconverter" you are referring to the TC14 or TC20, they will not work with the 100-300. You can use the 1.4x or 2.0x exTele which is simply a crop, but they reduce the megapixals. You ...

I bought an FZ1000 ii some time ago and had the same problem. It emitted a constant loud noise. It bothered me so much that I returned the camera. I have never had that problem with any other camera. ...

Agreed. I was really surprised at how sharp the test chart photos were using 2x digital zoom with my PL 50-200, so I thought for fun I would try the same setup using 4x. I didn't expect those ...

I have experimented using both 2x and 4x with my PL50-200 mounted on my G9 and using test charts. The ptotos using 2x turned out to be quite sharp, but the 4x photos were definitely not sharp at ...

I bought the 12-200 earlier this year for a trip that I was planning. I did a qiuck test when it arrived and it seemed OK, but the trip was cancelled so I didn't do a good test. Big mistake. I ...

I ordered a FZ1000 ii when it was released and I was surprised at the loud sound from the camera. I don't know if it is the same as the original FZ1000, but it was annoying enough for me that I ...

Thanks, I fully agree. Excellent camera, but I used mine mainly for traveling, and for the placed I go I need a camera with some basic weather sealing. Regards, Dave

Thanks Stevie Boy Blue. Yes, I bought the FZ2500 less than a year after it was released, so I probably did pay full price, although I can't remember the exact amount. When that camera was ...

I have a G9 and until recently also an Oly 12-200. I had no problem with stabilization. Of course you can't get dual I.S., but the G9 IBIS is excellent. However, I sold my Oly 12-200 because it ...

I had cataracts in my right (only) eye. I had that taken care of during one of my many glaucoma operations. By the way, how did you end up in  Cambodia with a name like Wildalaskaken? Regards, Dave

I owned a FZ2500 (FZ2000) a couple of years ago. I agree with you that it is a very good camera. When I bought it I tested it against a Sony RX10 iv and thaought that the FZ was equal in IQ and ...

Agreed. I also replaced the eyecup on my G9 with a larger one, and I also have my glasses on a cord so that in bright sun I can take them off. Works great. My difference with you is that I don't ...
