Mr.: If you own three Priuse's, sir, you need to re-think your "car" priorities and consider a better life. Prius' are so lightweight that they are FEDERAL DOT warned to be careful on the highway as blowing away with just moderate winds. Also, if you hit a pothole, the undercarriage is so poor (weak) that you will need to repair before driving safely.
Sorry about your radio.
Sorry if I offended you.
However you are very wrong on your statistics based on several surveys.
Consumer Reports (I also read regularly) is very good about reporting on vacuum cleaners, wash detergents, and electric screwdrivers, etc; but they know nothing about cars or major appliances.
Prius and Lumix? Really? Man, you have been lucky.
Consumer satisfaction surveys by both CR and PEW do not agree with you on both of these.
They are both the cheapest in their particular markets, so you get what you pay for.
I do not use any apple products out of general principal. They are not good corporate citizens with philanthropy close to zero. Microsoft on the other hand gives billions including the current needs in the Russian invasions of the innocent.
Typically, among comments from a few friends, apple has all sorts of quirks. Why deal with it? MS works just fine.
Thanks.
NO to anything Panasonic. Historically, at least in electronics, poor quality. BTW, Lumix is the same company.
For $50 bucks, you will get what you pay for.
Used? A risk in my book. Go to Walgreens for a $199.00 new and warranted name brand.
Better to get a new $400 or so name brand cam that you can depend on.
I have been searching for a compact good qual mirrorless and just purchased a Sony EV-10. $800.00 for a three lens package etc and I think worth it. This supplements my Nik D500 which is too heavy and large to carry everywhere.
Hope this helps.
They are BOTH Kodaks. Just named differently.
I have about 30 slide trays (carousels) and two projectors available. .33 cent each for the trays. $10.00 for projectors. 414-660-6100.
Thanks. Lumix is another name for Panasonic which would send me to Sony for better value.
Appreciate your comments.
Thank you. This is helpful. Based on yours and other comments, I'll keep what I have: two F zoom lenses on a D-500. Results has been fine (except autofocus sometimes is still a challenge for me). If I wish less weight and size, I will supplement with a Sony "shirtpocket" for travel, such as cruises.
that is valuable infor. i will not make any changes at this point.
thanks.
you have it reversed.
the issue is f lenses on a d body.
the "waste" is a full frame lens not being fully utilized ..... wasted money according to the salesman (same vendor retailer as where purchased)
thanks.
the point i hear here is that a d lens on a f body is ok.
and not wasted.
thanks.
