I do hope someone on here can help. For two years i have enjoyed my excellent Panasonic DMC FZ38. I took it out for some bad weather shots and now camera is kaput. Cost of repair via Pannys main agent v eBay used, doesn't make sense. Would I be best to stay with the same camera as it...

I own a Panny FZ38 bridge, and have been quite impressed until recently when I took it out to photograph some of the floods during the rain. Now, i know it isn't waterproof but surely a slight spray of water shouldn't cause problems. should it? A couple of the switches don't auto-return as...

A message on La Redoute's Facebook page said the company "apologises for the photo published on its site and is doing what's necessary to remove it"

Was it being filmed through a rear facing mirror, do you think? Also, did anyone notice the old Lambretta? The first model I ever owned back in 1965 having swapped it for a non working Vincent.

I thought the onlookers were to die for. Hilarious. Just a shame we didn't see someone tripping over a bicycle.

Hi Mark. I must admit that was my FIRST thought but somehow it makes the photo too busy, I feel. I'm pretty sure others on here will disagree. :)

1 is excellent and No 4 is stunning!! Excellent apart from aforementioned light issue. (Lightroom, perhaps?) I feel that the puddle in No2 detracts rather than adds, though.

Thanks Richard. I note that you 'Wiped the contacts with a cloth' ?? What you meant to say, of course was that you, Sprayed window cleaner onto the cloth till quite damp and rubbed the contacts and surrounding area on the camera .......... AND the contacts on the lens(es). Contact...

Hi Richard, Not wishing to give anyone else any ideas :( and it might upset you to know but I want to mount an old camera in a bird box for some wildlife shots, either on a timed shutter release or on a manual release. I would also hope to remove the screen and separate it from the body...

You were THAT polite?

I felt it likely that its OK to show interest but we would need to go to the classified to do it properly in accordance with the rules but if I am wrong then hopefully the Mods will remove it and I won't get into TOO much trouble as its a new year.:)

This is the society that we live in these days, surely. HELP the customer?? What a strange concept.

Sorry to hear about your demise, Richard but I might be interested in buying if you don't have any joy with it. I am in Essex, too

Oh!! Thanks for that. Hopefully no damage done but will avoid in future
