I want one or two extra batteries and a charger for my new Panasonic Lumix FZ1000MkII. OEM parts are quite expensive (64EUR for the battery, 45EUR for the charger), as one might suspect. Browsing internet, Duracell has compatible batteries for 33EUR and chargers for 26EUR Some retailers in Spain have kits (1 dual charger and 2 batteries) for 60EUR. Similar kits in Aliexpress costs 25EUR Any advice on that? Can I harm the camera if the battery is badly charged (I see no other danger)? Thanks ..read more

Hi I recently bought a Lumix FZ18 online, as I would like to get back to photography now that I have retired, having dabbled in the dim and distant past. My question is what lenses can I add?

I recently bought the Lumix S5IIX with Panasonic 24mm to 105mm lens and I've been going through the User's Manual learning what I can. I have been unable to turn on focus peaking. I have turned it on in the menus as well as the display touch tab and made sure Live View Boost is off. I've also tried auto focus and manual. I want it because I have an old lens I want to use. I assume I have changed some setting in the camera and disabled focus peaking. Any ideas? Thanks ..read more

I am a bit disappointed with the images as they seem to be pretty noisy. I was shooting at ISO 400 and plenty of daylight. I shot both RAW and JPG for comparison and the JPG images actually seemed to be a bit better. Anyone have any experience with this camera and have any comments? Thanks ..read more

I currently use my phone to take photos and I would like to get a nice compact to use instead. Ideally I want something that will give nice closeups for watches, perform well outdoors and will be easy to carry in a fleece or jacket pocket while out walking. I am pretty clueless about photography and hopefully the camera will allow me to grow with it. I have read online dmc-zs100 review and the ZS100 seems to fit the bill (£600 max budget); I just wondered if anyone has any hands on... Read more ..read more
