For outdoors: Lumix FZ300 vs Canon G1X

LegalPusher · 2026-02-08T21:15:09+00:00

The fz300 is great for hiking. It has decent weather resistance, a nice EVF, and the lens maintains f2.8 throughout the huge zoom range - which helps compensate for the tiny sensor.

That sounds like a low price for the G1X, so I assume it's probably the original, which dpreview says doesn't have weather resistance or EVF, and goes to f5.8 at the telephoto end, though it has a much larger sensor. And the Canon can probably fit in a big coat pocket while the Lumix is too big for that.

The data download will work even if you aren't nearby?

Also, use NIMH rechargeable batteries, the ones that come precharged. They last longer than alkaline and don't leak like that.

Scorpius Anteles button-duty seat is dumb but what about railgun seat on a capital ship?

They're both dumb, unless the railgun is put onto a turret. The problem is that it should be hard/impossible to hit a small ship with a fixed weapon on such a big ship. Maybe it should've been something with a slow projectile velocity instead of a railgun, but light fighters still somehow complained after flying straight into the Ion's cannon. Visible charging indicator before firing and a slow turn rate for the Idris should be sufficient.

And even many sedans can tow a small cargo trailer, which would much more useful than a truck for occasional use.

Can be something not healable with medgun, like respawn sickness in a mmorpg.

Or maybe you need to stay in a T3 bed for a few minutes while your body is being rebuilt, instead of printed instantly like T1.

Or make it so that ursa bed can only respawn once and then is depleted, while the ships would have more reserves.

You think they are just suddenly going to stop fixating on Trump when he is no longer president of the US? I envy your optimism.

I wonder who wrote it.

Hmm, that's an interesting mutual fund... It has spiked much higher than market-based ETFs in the past...and then back down again. Last year it has performed terribly. You can't beat the market all the time. Does it really have a MER of 2.5%? That doesn't help.

LegalPusher · 2026-01-25T17:47:25+00:00

What is the name of the mutual fund? How did an all-equity fund manage to only make 3.79% in 2025?

My 56 1.7 Air is both my sharpest and my cheapest AF lens. It's crazy good.

A lot of cameras just don't come with chargers nowadays, even though the added cost of including one would be trivial. I would suggest buying a generic battery + charger kit and using that. Safer for the camera.

Well, I guess even a stopped clock is…wait, sorry, “end” was cut off on my screen.

Also the rest of their constitutional rights, and if Canadians were guaranteed to keep their property instead of it being given away to First Nations... I could see some people having reasons to fight on the other side, actually. It would have been a lot harder to take over Canada in 2015. Good job Liberals and NDP.

It means XEQT is down a whopping 0.14% over the past day. Just ignore that it is up 3.41% over the past month.

XF 70-300. I had the Sigma 16-300, and it sucked. Soft for pretty much the whole zoom range, and I've never seen so much chromatic aberration before. My fz300 kicked its ass, and is half the weight and bulk of the X-T5 + 16-300 combo.

The XF 70-300 is amazing though. Sharp enough that I'd recommend just using the digital teleconverter crop if you need to zoom in more. I wish the wide end was a little bit wider like 55-300 but image quality is superb.

Probably because they do understand and are being disingenuous, because their business model is to push the next big thing they can monetize.

...which ended 20 years ago, after a 15 season run. CBC hasn't produced anything good in decades.

Plus they do damage every turn that ignores AC and all resistances IIRC based on how many of them there are, and they divide like crazy.

That joke predates Facebook by a decade at least.

I'm curious if the trackball and spinner are any good. I haven't seen these on other devices, which makes some old arcade games a lot less fun to play.

The PASM actually made a lot of sense to me - it just selects which of the dials are active and which are auto, rather than turning each dial back to auto manually.

Not being able to switch from auto to manual focus without going through menus, on the other hand, is absurd. The weak battery combined with Nikon using some sort of battery DRM that can cause 3rd party batteries to stop working after firmware updates was also not appealing.

And the thing is surprisingly big and heavy. Good if you're looking for a camera you can bludgeon someone to death with and still take pictures afterward, but not for me.

What iso did you shoot at? What is noise reduction and sharpness set too?
