Panasonic Digital Rangefinder Camera

I own a Leica MP film camera as well as the Leica M11-P digital camera. Thanks to this diopter I can now focus my rangefinder cameras in lightening speed.

I have been a photo enthusiast for many decades and had much of the best SLR (Nikon) and rangefinder equipment (Leica) in the past. Unless you are shooting in very low light, fast action or sports photography this little gem should handle most of your needs. Gone are the days where I am going to take ten pounds of equipment and a huge amount of bulk on a trip or even casual photography. This camera is a mini-computer with image stabilization and all sorts of goodies. Like any camera, much depends on the glass. If you are seriously into image quality, then I strongly recommend the Panasonic/Leica 45mm 2.8, the Panasonic 20mm 1.7 and the Panasonic zoom 7mm-14mm. Although the lenses are fairly expensive, they are far less than comparable SLR (or regular $$$$$Leica) lenses. Although many big shot photo authors are constantly underrating the quality of Micro Four Third, lets face it, they make their money off the DSLR market. How many people make their living shooting sports action? I am coming down from the DSLR, rangefinder, SLR world. It is an easy transition. And it has movie capability. If you are tired or carrying weighty and voluminous equipment you should intelligently consider E PL2. Also, you should consider the VF 2 viewfinder if coming from the DSLR world. One other plus, you can use ANY micro four thirds lens, regardless of make.

Sopme years ago I purchased a Panasonic Digital camera from B & H. I had not used it for several months and found my battery dead. To my surprise and delight, B & H not only had the battery I needed, but upon ordering it I received it two days later. What a store! Thanks again for great service.

As a collector of various digital camera classics by LEICA, Panasonic LUMIX and NIKON, I like the ability to keep all my batteries alive with the excellent Watson 2 bay battery charger and the different available plates.

The Panasonic HC-VX981 turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Top 2 qualities are ease of use and unequaled image quality, seriously, watching my movies and pictures on a TV screen seems like I am at the movies! Then, as you dwell into what the camera offers you, your horizon keeps expanding, both using the different modes and formats it offers. Stabilization is great, and so is the little light for night scenes. Additionally, the movie shoots in complete darkness, using infra-red. The only feature I would have like to have is a wide-angle around 29mm or lower. The zoom is optical at 20x, (phenomenal), then a hybrid optical/digital at 25x, and a digital going to 1,500x. The camera is light at use, but I recommend a larger battery. It's a 4k camera, with a clean HDMI.

This $100 value was bundled with the Panasonic Lumix DCZS80 Digital Camera at no extra cost. While the battery can be charged in camera with the included USB cable, it's useful to be able to charge externally and having an additional Panasonic battery is a must.

I use the BLC12 with my Panasonic DMC- Fz200 digital camera during Burrowing Owl nesting season in Cape Coral, Fl April May June .. and as aextra battery in late September / early October on Vancouver island, B.C. Grizzly Bear / Wild Orca photograpgy / Video At ABORIGINAL JOURNEY's Wildliffe Adventure Tour. I've had great success with Panasonic Products purchased at B&H over the years.

I attached these connectors to my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 Digital Camera. Now it is simple to remove the neck strap or the wrist strap from the camera. They appear to be very strong and I am sure I will always keep them on the camera. I highly recommend this inexpensive accessory. In the past, I was use to the quick release neck strap on the Hasselblad and was always sorry 35mm and digital cameras did not have them. Thank you OP/TECH for solving this annoyance; I wish they had been available in the 1970's.

Great digital bridge camera with all the bells and whistles I need, and then some! Wasn't sure about the brand (Panasonic) at first but after playing with it for a while, it's as good as any brand of camera I've used and with the Leica lens, probably better.

Bought this to use with Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS5 digital camera which is water proof; since I knew I'd be using it around water, kayaking, boating, etc., I felt that a floating strap would be wise; strap is high quality and very effective!
