Hi, I am beginning to lose track of all I have responded to. Right now I am in limbo. The first person to make an offer has yet to get back to me with his mailing address. I will call him around noon tomorrow--he lives two time zones to the west of me. If he still wants it he can buy it. If not there are two others who offered the full price ahead of you. so that puts you third in line, I am sorry to say. I wish I had more of the camera to sell!
What ever happens, I will let you know.
Yours, George Rhyne

I have an interested buyer at full price. I am waiting for him to verify his mailing address. So at this point I will stick with the price I posted earlier. And as I am spending to mail camera, I am getting less than the asking price anyway. If anything changes, I will get back to you.

I am not sure what PM means. Personal message? Was it by email? If so, I cannot see it. Did you send it to:rhyne@dickinson.edu ?

This camera has had limited use. Shutter activations are impossible to find, as it has an electronic but no mechanical shutter.
It comes with three batteries, a charger, a wrist strap, and a neck strap. It has a Bower lens adapter attached, which takes 67mm filters. I will sell it for $150.00. I will pay shipping in continental USA. If interested send me an email.

That was RHYNE@DICKINSON.EDU. Somehow an extra D got added.

I would be interested. My pro-100 is giving me fits. Green cast, occasionally horizontal lines, occasional black ink blotches. BUT THE TEST PATTERN SHOWS ALL IS GOOD. So I would want to know what your prints look like. e-mail me at RHYNE@DICKINSON.EDU.D
Thanks.

Thanks. That should do it. I have no idea how that got changed.

Hi, folks,
I need some help. I am editing a set of about 150 basketball pictures. When I send an image to an external editor, such as AI Clear, the edited picture is placed AT THE END of the film strip. That means that I have to go back the the beginning and find out where the last picture came from, so that I can go to the next. This obviously encumbers the process and wastes time.
Until today, the picture edited in external program came back to its proper place, as a tif file next to the original. I did not consciously make any change in LR, but must have inadvertently done so.
QUESTION: what can I do to restore the original function, where the picture edited in an external program can return to its proper position?
Thanks in advance for advice.

I would be interested in buying your lens. I have no interest in the filter, however. Would you lower the price to sell without the filter?
Please reply to rhyne@dickinson.edu

Thanks for your attention.

[quote=asymptotic_maybe]Maybe not the perfect word, but...We recently bought a Lumix ZS100 to replace my wife's nikon P60 that has died. After some months, she's decided she can't/doesn't want to learn how to use this camera. I think it does a really good job of picture takings, but the handling is difficult at best. So small, buttons where you want to hold it, accidentally press something and it takes a trip to the owners manual (almost) to get it back where it belongs. It is very slippery...I have only dropped it once but have been very close to dropping it many times.

I have been using DSLRs usually with pretty large zooms attached for almost everything for many years. I am seeing this Lumix ZS100 as a possible travel replacement for the big stuff, but not unless I can figure out a safe and simple way to handle this camera.

Long winded request, but truly any and all advise for tricks or suggested fixes for these problems will be very welcome. Thanks in advance.[/quote
If you want a thorough review or your problem, there are two places that will help. One is Imaging-Resource, which is pretty well known.
The other is not as well known as it should be for users of bridge cameras, especially, but not exclusively Panasonic. It is a blog by Andrew Smallman. He is from Australia. His blog is CAMERA ERGONOMICS. He is a font of information for many Lumix bridge cameras and many others besides. Follow this link: http://cameraergonomics.blogspot.com/p/fixed-zoom.html
He has found ways to wring the best out of the bridge cameras he writes about.
Best of luck with your camera decision.

Greetings, JRW,
I am a devoted reader of UHH. I have an Olympus M1ii with lots of razor sharp lenses, but I have always been intrigued with the long reach of the bridge cameras. My first was the Canon sx50, which is dandy, but not seriously outdated, I feel. I also have a Lumix fz1000, which is a fine camera. I have as well a Lumix ZS 50 and a Lumix ZS70. I have had the last one for less than a month, and I am still working to see what sort of image quality I can get from it. I like these small long-zoom cameras, as they are with me wherever I go. I would be delighted to join you on the bridge.
All of this said, I have three pieces of advice for you (who probably don't need it) and for others who might.
1. Do not carry a pocket camera in the pocket. Sounds counter-intuitive, but there is a good reason: pocket lint. When the lens extends, it creates a vacuum in the body. If there is dust or a fibre, or what not around the lens, it can get sucked in and land on the sensor. Use a belt pouch or something similar.
2. Whether you use raw or jpeg or both, the IQ can be greatly enhanced by using a plug-in from Topaz, AIClear. This is a near miraculous program which reduces noise AND sharpens at the same time. It will not help with blurred motion or pure mush, but with higher ISO images (400-1600) on the 1/2.3 sensor, it works wonders.
3. Anyone looking at or using a bridge camera MUST look at the blog of Andrew Smallman. He is from Australia. His blog is CAMERA ERGONOMICS. He is a font of information for many Lumix bridge cameras and many others besides. Follow this liknk: http://cameraergonomics.blogspot.com/p/fixed-zoom.html

My wife and I just came back from there. Stayed in Port Angeles four nights. Went up to Hurricane Ridge to get sunset photos. First two evenings were socked in with clouds. Third night, clouds, temperature went down to 34, and there was wind and snow. Last night, got great sunset.
Then on to Forks for four days. you MUST take in Rialto Beach and Ruby Beach for the sea stacks.
Finally, we went to Hoh Rainforest. There has been a drought, and I was not at all impressed. Most exciting thing I saw was a six inch long banana slug. Meh.
Any way you do it, have fun!

I think I have found the problem I have been having. When in PS, I did not make separate layers for changes. So when I was sending the PSD back to PS from LR, I was only getting the edited PS without the history. If I make a separate layer for each change, then when I send PSD back from LR to PS as "original", I then have layers. There is no history of what I have done on the individual layers, but at least this is something I could work with without having to start from scratch.
Thank again for your help.

Sorry. I was responding to CGH CANON.

Thanks very much for your time and effort and your very prompt reply. I have long appreciated your well-informed comments here on UHH.
I have gone through he steps you recommend. Making the virtual copy before sending image to LR seems to be the key.
What does not seem to work for me, though, is sending the new PSD back to PS and finding there in the history the changes I previously made in PS. It would be nice to be able to revert to the history that was created in PS directly after sending image to PS in the first instance.
If it is not possible to go back to the edits first made in PS, then that is the way it is.
But the idea of a virtual copy does most of what I wanted to do. Thanks again.
