I adore #Casio and #Panasonic when it comes to dependable and rugged consumer electronics. Yet...
I have this #protrek swg-100 watch since 2009 and it has been a reliable #watch but terrible wrist watch. Damn strap ripped after 6 years and a new one didn't even last 4 years.
I am done buying new straps and went full DIY on it with 3d printed TPU strap. I will be keeping this watch in emergency bag from now on.
If I was to buy an affordable video camera as a one-man crew (which means that the camera needs to have top notch ibis, AF etc), then the best video-focused camera is the Panasonic GH7. No Canon, Sony, Nikon, or Fuji comes close, because they are lacking in various departments (Canon/Nikon in video-related menu options, Sony has terrible IBIS, Fuji is too mediocre in both IBIS and AF).
Hair dryers you can see through and easily carry may be the domain of at least one company, but Panasonic looks to challenge with some more science. https://www.pickr.com.au/news/2025/panasonic-takes-on-dyson-with-a-different-approach-to-hair-care #health #home #news #hair #panasonic
Hmm... interesting. I just tried mounting the Panasonic Leica 12-60mm f/2.8-4 lens onto my OM-1 Mark II and it looks like it only knows how to AF using contrast detect AF.
I mounted the OM 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro back onto the OM-1 II and it went straight back to non-hunting PDAF.
Has anyone else noticed the lack of PDAF when using Pana lenses on OM bodies?
