    Had a really interesting experience yesterday involving a DSLR and a superzoom

    Something I've discovered as megapixels rise, is that technique is critical! As I've aged, I've gotten much shakier, and I find it more difficult to achieve the same level of handheld sharpness I used to achieve. These high megapixel cameras have such high sensor density that even slight...

    Pitcairn Island

    I think you must be on the same cruise a buddy of mine is on. He's not really a photographer, but he's creating "Follow Me's" everywhere the go.

    Paris and Rome: what to bring, what to do, how to do it?

    I think we have been unnecessarily traumatized by stories of pickpocketing in Europe. I've been in several large European cities and have had absolutely no problems. That said, it does happen, and you need to keep your wits about you, and beware of obvious scams (people throwing change down in...

    (Picture Heavy) My First Weekend trip with Panasonic GF2 and Fuji X-E1

    17 is my favorite! I was struck by the cleanliness of the trains. Even though somewhat old, they look clean, well maintained, and FREE OF GRAFITTI!! Thank you Japan! It is so sad to travel in most countries (U.S. Europe) and see how they have been spoiled by grafitti. These "artists" should...

    Fuji Legacy lenses for Fuji X1-Pro/X-E1

    John, I was about to suggest the 105 Nikkor when I read that you had bought one. It's one of the all time great lenses from Nikon. Great sharpness and contrast. I think You'll be very happy with it. Rich

    Nikon Recovering Picture Control

    Yes, I'm incredibly inept. Now that we have established that, let me ask for advice. I was attempting to upload some custom Picture Controls into my V1 and somehow managed to wipe out the camera's native PC's. I have an email request in with Nikon, but they are taking quite a while...

    Nikon Nikson V1 With 10-30mm Zoom: $380

    I just bought one at Amazon for $349. Woo hoo! Seriously, at that price there isn't another P&S that makes sense (IMHO). Rich

    Nikon Nikon P7700 announced and previewed

    If the 7700 had some sort of viewer (either optical or electronic), I would have one on order now. On paper, the LX-7 probably appeals more to me, but with the disastrous experience I had getting my LX-3 repaired, I won't buy anything else by Panasonic. Pity, because I generally like their...

    Nikon New Camera...

    It's a great camera. I traded mine for a D700, but sometimes wish I hadn't. The only issue I had was a fairly steep learning curve with focusing. Coming from 2 previous Nikon Dslr's (D50, D200), I thought I had it all under control. Because of the very high resolution, the D7K will show the...

    Panasonic LX-5 repair

    My LX3 developed a problem with the flash that was very frustrating. Even in forced flash mode, the flash would only fire intermittently, and exposure was all over the map. EXIF data showed proper functioning of the unit, though. I have to say that Panasonic service was outrageously priced...

    Nikon D3200 official

    Has anyone shot with both a D7000 and D3200? Just wondering what their experience is with High ISO and with learning the focus system. A lot of D7000 users complained pretty loudly about poor focus/soft images - until they learned to use the camera properly. The D7K is pretty sensitive to...

    Fuji Travelling lighter today, physically and mentally.

    You guys are killin' me. I'm getting the X100 bug - bad, but have several things to sell first (m4/3, LX3, old Nikon gear), but I won't sell my D700! I am mainly looking for a capable, but much lighter and more convenient, travel kit. I've even considered a Nikon D3200 to lighten the load...
