I would suggest Tamron and Sigma in addition to Canon's own which are very highly rated. Do your homework!!! Read reviews, compare results side by side. Use forums like the Hog to gather first-hand opinions. Take your time insofar as possible.
Paul - Excuse me, I tried looking up "Panasonic FX-200" and can't seem to find details about it anywhere. I checked B+H Photo, Amazon, Wikipedia and Panasonic's own website. I kept getting redirected to a model called the "FZ-200".

Anytime that I'm using a tripod I use a remote trigger. I think it defeats the purpose if you are still pressing the shutter manually. When bracketing I take single shots, putting it in continuous mode would introduce a lot of vibration.
Thanks, Erik H. Have been meaning to try the bracketing option. Your reply was helpful to me as well.
No Nikon, Canon or Leica models on the list - I am surprised. Sounds like strong advertising-driven bias to me. I would expect a fairer, unbiased report from the Nat. Geo organization.
Thanks, Dan821, for your suggestion and detailed instructions. As a new user of Lightroom, I've been pleased to find such great help, support and ideas among the pages of the UHH forum.
Amazon lists two
1) Panasonic GX7 Menu System Simplified by David Thorp (two editions, one from 2013 and the more recent from 2014)
2) Panasonic Lumix GX7 and GM1 - From Snapshots To Great Shots by Bob Knight (2014)
Enjoy your camera

OnOne could very well be "better". But, learning how to get the best out of Lightroom may be far easier.
Spot on, bsprague! I've tried both, at least briefly, and am finding Lr5 a lot easier to learn and use, esp. with all the great help available here on the Hog.
I agree with your final comment, bkyser!
Erik - The thread began with a question about clearing images from an Lr5 catalog. No one has been able to quote or provide a link to the thread the interrogator was seeking, however another member did offer a specific solution. I then asked what I felt was an obvious related follow-up regarding how to delete the catalogs themselves. I didn't mean to offend, by introducing a sub-tread, but they do seem like one and the same issue. We wouldn't have to be doing this if the Adobe Gods had provided clear, comprehensive instructions.
Saw one advertised today for about $50 from BH Photo in NY.
Does anyone know how to go about deleting a catalog that was created in error? What if the catalog also contains images that no longer need to be saved? I want to delete both from my computer drive.
Congrats, ddetloff! Bet we know how you will be spending your day. <grin>
Thanks, Josephni, I will certainly consider your suggestion. My regards, fellow photo traveler!
Back in the days of little yellow Kodak boxes, I bought a Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 lens. Tamron labeled it "Macro". It was a excellent lens for use on Nikon AF film cameras. it was relatively light in weight, and I used it a lot. Got great results. Based on that experience I would highly recommend Tamron.
