I know this is minor and some may think silly, but when you do a self timer and run to get in the picture, it is an effort- [or more like a gamble!], so I like the feature to set it for 10 second delay with ONE photo or THREE photos! So much easier when…
Many of you do not yet shoot videos, so you might feel like this doesn’t apply to you, but in my mind’s eye, I see the future of photography branching out and including videos. I honestly believe the modern photographer (or the next generation) is going to need to be fluent in BOTH stills and…
Sometimes you just want to shoot and not let people know – or just not intimidate people with the camera or interrupt the intimate or solemn moments. Silent Mode is perfect for that! You can silently capture and enjoy the moments without feeling like the elephant in the room! As photographers, don’t we all wish…
iA~INTELLIGENT AUTO: It’s ridiculous how smart these cameras are. Pretty much smarter than you and I put together.

In this world of interactivity, Panasonic has made our cameras even more intuitive and easy to control with Touch screens! No longer do you need to click rockers and buttons all over the back to get to the menus or get the focus spot over to the area you want! Now you can simply TOUCH…

By Suzette Allen, Lumix Luminary and Hybrid Pioneer A note for the skeptics: yes, this is for you. Still shooters and Videographers alike. Of the 25 favorite features, 22 apply to “stills only” shooters, 20 apply to “just video” shooters, so at the most, you may see 3-5 features you may feel do not apply to you,…
