Nooooooo I don't think so...

When I went to Egypt back in the 80's, I shot 30 rolls of 36. Cost almost the price of the trip to develop them, and with no hope of being to tweak any of them if the lighting was wrong.

Nooooooo I don't think so.

BUT!! it was fun playing in the darkroom when I was learning to develop my own B/W. Those photos of my kids are still on the wall. Now, I play with software on the computer.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the screen, as I did not drop it....and it is a touch screen. I am not all thumbs, but, for the price of this little camera, I shall let the experts handle it.

But, it is good to know that one can indeed buy and install a new screen.

From what I have read, if you have PSE 14, there is basically no need for PSE 15.

I went from 11 to 14 and I really love it along with the Topaz plug-ins. And the Nik collection.... I think I am addicted to PPing...

I am now going to give ON1 a try, as I have finally been bitten by a RAW bug.

Thank you, yes, it makes for easier reading...

I sooooo agree with all that you shared, Linda.

Will only add, is there a style called "grandkids"???

No, I am sorry that I can not be of any help. I do not use wifi as I use my IPad sync'd '
to my IPhone to check and delete etc.

I have come to the conclusion that there are no perfect cameras, and no perfect photographers.

For me, when I travel, it is all about the memories that I am trying to capture, that I will enjoy making albums of, and am full of gratitude that I got to experience this marvelous earth as I look back at my photos.

Yes, I am very happy with this little camera, has a EVF that suits me, has a great touch screen and has tons of effects that I may not all use, but, are there for me to learn about...

It is a very packed little camera that is fun!

And I will confess that I do enjoy the process of PPing....😉

Thank you, thank you for your kind responses. I do love this little camera, as it is a great travel camera, and that is what I use it for. It shoots RAW.
In certain areas of Latin and South America you do not want to be traveling with a big DSLR...it calls attention.

If you look at the reviews for this camera, "they" say that the images are a little soft, a compromise because of the great zoom. I am very pleased with most of my photos. I am not a professional, but, I do want sharp photos.

Thank you for suggesting that the camera should be under warranty...I don't know where my brain went???? Yes, it is....for 3 years if camera was brought between 4/16 to 3/17. Will be packing it up for repairs and sending it to Texas.

By the way, I just came back from Bogota, and I truly get amazed at how few the cameras are compared to all the cell phones one sees in a tourtist area. I had brought my Nikon, and I was hard pressed to find someone to take a family shot...

I can no longer see anything when I press the Menu bottom...like when I want to shoot raw etc.

Hello and thank you ahead of time.

I have no clue as to how this happened...but, my beloved little expensive point and shoot has all theses vertical lines on the LCD, can no longer see photos in playback, nor view menu because of all the lines. Yet, it works perfectly through the view finder and the photos seen with my IPad are fine.

I thought that perhaps the very few drops of rain that touched it may have created the problem, but, no.

I took it to a camera shop to ask what the problem may be and he immediately told me that it would cost "at least" $300 to $350 to get it repaired and to contact Panasonic.

The repair price horrified me....apparently repairing an LCD is extremely expensive.
I spent hours trying to find a phone number for Panasonic to no available nor info on the internet about these lines on my camera...

Has anyone here experienced this?
Has anyone experienced Panasonic 's repair service?
No, I did not buy a warranty...

I would so appreciate any information you all might share?

Thank you, Edee

Asking for your kind assistance.

I was in a small town outside of Bogota with my grandchildren and it was raining.

Was shooting them running and playing as Christmas lights reflected on the cobblestones.

Camera got a few drops of rain on it, only a few.

When I went to review photos later that night, I had massive verticals lines in play back mode, that moved when I touched them as it is a "touch screen" but, I could barely see photos. When transferred to IPad, photos are fine. It seems to be a problem with the LCD.

Can anyone advise me about this problem or perhaps have experienced this and what did you do about it??

I thank you all ahead of time for your kind advice,

Is this a "send it back" situation??

Edee

You can not ask for a better more beautiful gift!!
Congratulations!!

I really love this one!! Nice shot!

That is STUNNING!!

Thank YOU!! First time posting a photo...
