Ya know, I've had a few thoughts about the potential of pocket lint inside the camera. Maybe I'd better learn to carry it on my belt. That's the one (or, maybe one of?) Achilles' heel on this camera style.
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
I carry mine is a belt pouch, no lint, no fuss.

Hi guys. Just looking for some ideas really. I have a Panasonic Lumix FZ200 and for Christmas I was gifted a lovely solid tripod. I haven't been taking many pictures of late and want to try something new. I will do a few car shows probably but as something more general I was thinking maybe landscapes or macro to put the tripod to use. Any other suggestions welcomed. Just want to use my camera to its strengths. TIA
Go to google and type in these words, "tell me how to take better photo's" you will then get hundreds of video's you can watch. Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.

I have a Nikon D750 that I’m very very happy with but looking for an excellent quality point and shoot to take on trips simple due to the weight and not lugging around so much equipment. I’ve heard Sony mak3s a great point and shoot but have never used a Sony. I want great image quality and the ability t9 shoot raw and bracket images. Suggestions?
I use two Sony pocket camera's when I am on vacation and have been very pleased with the results. I currently use the Sony HX90 and a Sony RX100 II because it has a hot shoe.
The RX100 series is very good. My favorite is the HX 90 because it has a 24-750 mm ZEISS zoom lens. The RX series also use ZEISS lenses. Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.
Below is a grab shot in Venice Italy with a Sony pocket camera.

I inadvertently removed the lens while the camera was still on. I really try Not to ever do that. As soon as it happened I realized my screw-up and switched to camera Off. So, is the sensor damage in someway?
You are solid my friend, do not fret.

You are correct, photography contests are subjective. Put you big boy pants on and continue to compete. I have lost so many contests I have lost track. I only seem to remember the ones I won.

Mine was a Minolta 101 with a 50mm f/1.4 (wow!), 28mm f/2.8 and 135mm f/28 both Vivatar. Yes I would like to forget the 400mm f/6.3 Spiratone. A lot of hard work to get a so-so picture. Don't want to forget the 2x extender. A Honeywell flash. B&W and closeup filters. A bag to keep it all in. What did you have? - Dave
In 1975 I was shooting for UPI (united press international) my kit was generally a Nikon F, Nikon 24mm f2.8 and a Nikon 200 f4. Luna pro light meter and rocket lens cleaner.

Yes and No. I like to use tons of filters on my landscape images. So, I find myself shooting very slow because I also use as low as ISO as I can, so, I find that a tripod helps keep my camera steady. I also like to make very large canvas prints, so, I need as good of image as I can, so, usually, my tripod is a standard piece of equipment for landscape images.
If I am taking general landscape shots and I am walking all day, my tripod stays at home during these scouting missions. If I find a location I really like, I will make 100's of image shots and take them home and decide how I am going to approach a final shot. When I do decide, I go back with my tripod.

Sorry to say, but the term "limited budget" and full frame gear are mutually exclusive. GAS takes it's toll.
Sometimes, but you can still get a D700 (FF) mintish for around $300.00 if your looking.

Answer to your question:
Just like my Mechanic tools, once purchased I keep them, they don't eat!!! and they don't really command a good price upon resale. However I do loan some to certain people with an agreement that when they are done with them they return them.

I get a very good return on my Nikon equipment, especially when I buy Mint with box off Ebay, actually, in two situations, I sold the lens for more than I paid for it.
Careful buying decisions pays off in the long run.

I searched to see if anyone had commented on this type of LED ring attachment flash unit for Canon and only found one discussion about one that up for sale. Has anyone used these and what are their problems or advantages?
I like the newer LED ones. I find this light source works very well.
