    Your experiences with traveling light?

    Back in the day, I only traveled with pocket cameras. Those were the days of the Canon S45 and S70, small sensor cameras with sliding shutter cover. Back then, I didn't know much about photography, only that I loved it. If I were to go back to that setup, it would be with a Panasonic LX10 or...

    Your experiences with traveling light?

    I had a Canon G7 and took it to China along with a Fuji Natura Black film compact and the tiny Casio Z750. Ah, those were the days. I left the Canon 30D and 17-55 at home, and while the Canon would have taken better quality images, the zoom range of the G7 was so versatile. The only issues were...

    Panasonic Considering getting a Panasonic LX10/LX15

    It won't be a problem in Sydney. I use the LX10 in all conditions during the year, and you aren't likely to use f1.4 in bright daylight anyway.

    Advice Wanted Post processing - too much - getting tired of it? You can't hurt my feelings. :)

    Much of this will be influenced by the audience that will view your work. Do you intend your finished images to be viewed by others? Do you have a specific vision for your work that requires heavy postprocessing? Do you get a sense of pleasure when you look at your postprocessed images? Do you...

    Micro 4/3 G9II

    I'm really looking forward to this camera, despite the changes from the original G9 body design. The G9 II has standout video features like 4k 120p, v-log profile with 10bit colour, as well as phase detection which will be awesome for action photography. I prefer the G9 body design to the S5...

    Micro 4/3 G9II

    The G9 II has unlimited recording, but it also has thermal cut off thresholds for when the camera heats up too much. A few preliminary tests show that the G9 II seems to record fine on a 21 degree day, but cuts off after about a hour on a 25 degree day, see Micro Four Nerds on YouTube...

    Sorry to hear about your friend. If she was ready to let go, then she is now at peace. Photos can wait, get some good rest.

    Panasonic Considering getting a Panasonic LX10/LX15

    The bitrate for 1080 120p is annoyingly low for that kind of application, and it's only 8bit 420. It will barely hold a grade without artifacting. The lowest 100p I trust not to completely die is from the G9/GH5. It's 8bit 420 but 100mbps. It helps at lot to get the look right in-camera...

    Panasonic Considering getting a Panasonic LX10/LX15

    My 2c: the LX7 can produce some lovely images, and when shooting raw, the dynamic range is about as good as my Canon 30D from 2006. Not bad for a little sensor. The lens of the LX7 is super sharp, as you already know, and my favourite feature is the 16:9 extra wide aspect ratio. It's more like...

    Panasonic Considering getting a Panasonic LX10/LX15

    When I started digital photography, I carried my camera everywhere in a zip up clamshell pouch, which were very common back then. It provided reasonable protection and was lightweight. After a few years, I carried things in a small shoulder bag, and haven't stopped. But there are times when I...

    Panasonic Considering getting a Panasonic LX10/LX15

    I've never used that feature, so I can't comment on it. Didn't even know it was a feature! :p

    Panasonic Considering getting a Panasonic LX10/LX15

    Frankly, I'm tempted by the G7X III myself. The LX10's reach is a bit limited, I would like to be able to take photos at the football and have been thinking of getting a Sony RX100 with longer reach, or a Panasonic travel zoom with 1 inch sensor. The smaller aperture of the Sony or Panasonic...

    Panasonic Considering getting a Panasonic LX10/LX15

    I've never missed having an EVF on the LX10, if that's any indication. The LX10 has a pretty bright screen, though. Maybe check the specs of the G7X III's screen.

    Panasonic Considering getting a Panasonic LX10/LX15

    Teds has the G7X Mk III for just on $999 right now. It doesn't have the EVF of the G5X II, but that's about the only difference I can see apart from the extra range. Camera Lane recently had a LX10 for sale, but it's gone now, I just checked.

    Panasonic Considering getting a Panasonic LX10/LX15

    I wouldn't put the LX10 in the back of my jeans, but then I don't wear very loose jeans. Styles vary. I prefer the LX10 in a jacket pocket (like a hoodie or zip up jacket) or a small belt pouch. The LX10 is quite deep/thick compared with a IXUS 80. It's a fair bit thicker than the Canon S90 I...
