    RAW and Panasonic G3

    They give you SilkyPix. But useful? Yes, in the same way garlic would be for Nosferatu. The people at Panasonic are blaming Adobe for not having the updates ready and then said it was early days for the camera. And that's true, but we are talking about RAW files which are a pretty essential item.

    RAW and Panasonic G3

    I bought a G3 as an upgrade from a G1 but nothing I have will open the RAW files it produces. Element 8 will not even after an update. iPhoto will not. Review will not. I spoke to Panasonic who say Adobe are working on it. But how the RAW files been reviewed if it hasn't been opened! Help!

    Bloomin' Nikon!!

    Not singling it out then singling it out with an inappropriate 'not pointing' clause...right... :bonk:

    Bloomin' Nikon!!

    It hasn't been mentioned but the notion of '12 months and done' as far as warranty guarantee goes is old thinking. Goods have to last a reasonable length of time and I suspect that is why Nikon are using the term 'Damage' and not expiry of warranty. I am looking for a new camera and given...

    Hoppy, I haven't the experience to argue my position on full frame v crop strongly enough. We can settle knowing what I desire though. :)

    Scraggs, you're right there is some really good G1 stuff...and there's lots of 5DMK2 stuff and there's a difference though I know it isn't huge. Cheers for the link! :)

    N1kcy, that had not occurred to me! Flickr! Thanks for the tip. I spend too much time on social networks and not enough on Flickr.

    Photoshop Elements 8 - Image preview

    I don't know if this is any use to you:http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4219 It's what works for me and it mentions your camera.

    Andy, I would like to mention I was courteous enough not to point out the slight give-away in your test. Hoppy, I have an understanding of sensor sizes and at the time the G1 was a nice camera to just drop into a bag and go. It's easy carrying, if not the best capture. I envy you for your new...

    Mac photo software - any good?

    For what it is worth; if you buy PSE 8 you will find mountains of guidance, tips, videos and magazines showing how to do huge amounts of things from arty to basics. If you have an idea what you want to achieve it's fair to say that someone has, likely, done it in PSE and loaded the video on...

    Scraggs, I get the idea of toting a 5D around being an onerous task but I mostly take photographs indoors or at certain occasions. I'm not saying the G1 is a bad camera but I can tell the difference in the images captured and I know which I think is better. I also suspect that a full frame...

    I'll go straight into buying one when I can summon the nerve to part with the cash. I really like the look of the Canon 5DMkII. I've worked out that I can get the camera and a lens and spare battery and some bits for 3k. Then I saw the Sony A850 which would be just over 2k and stopped the press...

    You've heard it all before. But...

    There's the question: Do I really need it. Well, no, not need, but then, yes, I covet it. Why should I gaze at the photographs from my G1 and wish they were as good as they could be? I can see the difference in image between them. I suspect it is pretty much as I feared, if I want the quality...

    You've heard it all before. But...

    ...maybe someone here can quieten my urge to spend a lot of money. I have a Panasonic G1 and much as though I like it I find myself gazing at the results from full frame cameras with unreasonable desire. I don't take lots and lots of photographs and don't spend large amounts of time re-touching...
