Check the panasonic website they make a telephoto lens and loads of filters. Amazon sells most of the items. I feel like this camera can adapt to many more situations than many other brands in this catagory or price range.

I had a similar problem trying to use it with a PANASONIC FZ200 (not sure what camera you have). Some reviewers claim it worked okay with their FZ200 but never worked correctly for me. I had to remove batteries to stop the LED flashing. I tried thre different units and gave up.

Hey frank m. This works great with a DMC fz200. I did a couple time lapses with it so far here's one at Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/73182089. It is also great for long exposures and shutter control for self portraits and anything else you can think up. M

I use the Opteka adapter with an a580 camera, so I'm not familiar with your camera's settings. But try enabling "Release w/o lens" in the menu. When you enable that function you can use your camera with or without a lens, for example coupled to a microscope. The camera continues to function the same way.

I've heard there may be a new LX3 (LX4) coming in 2010. Something to consider.My wish list would be to retain fast lens, with maybe a bit more zoom if possible. Add AVCHD video w/ dedicated video button. Make it as flat as possible to fit in pocket better. Improve menu.

I think you'll need an adapter like this one: Lens Adapter For Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 (55mm) (Alternative For DMW-LA8)

I had own FZ28 before, i sold it cause i FZ35 has stereo sound, manual control of video, improve auto focus speed. Plus FZ28 right now cost nearly the same FZ35, i sold it for like $300 anyway. So is almost a free upgrade. You might also wanna try out Sony HX1 or Canon SX20 those camera has feature that this one doesn't, is all depend which feature you need more, no camera has all the feature you want.

The step-down ring should work. My problem with teleconverters on my Lumix cameras has been that eventually the threads wear out if you take the teleconverter on and off a lot. I've had two teleconverters drop and break as a result.

I have just ordered an FZ35. I was previously holding out for the FZ40, but after reading the reviews on the FZ100, I have concluded that the FZ35 is a BETTER product than the FZ40 will be! According to many FZ35 owners who have purchased an FZ100 (which has the same lens, zoom, and CCD chip as the FZ40) the image quality is NOT as good on the FZ100 as it is on the FZ35. This is attributed to the increased Megapixels that are jammed onto a SMALLER CCD chip. In order to add the increased zoom, Panasonic had to shrink the size of the CCD chip, and at the same time they jammed in more pixels. Consequence: loss of image quality. Low light photos on the FZ100 are apparently grainier on the FZ100 than on the FZ35 as well. Add to that the fact that the FZ40 will only accept microchipped Panasonic batteries (at 3-4 times the price of aftermarket batteries) and the choice is clear! Stop waiting! Buy an FZ35. I just did myself!

Digital zoom, but has a nice, clear picture at full resolution, so should be fine at minor zoom. I haven't tried blue iris, but it works with EvoCam and iCam, so I bet you could find the right IP path to work with Blue Iris.

Look up "canon chdk". It's a firmware that you load from your sd card. I'm getting optical zoom in my SD800IS, along with many other features, like shooting in raw, and control over shutter speed. For those cameras with aperture control (mine just has a NS filter), you can even adjust that.Still, I really like the looks of the SX1 coming out. I'm going to start saving for Christmas now.

gah, why couldn't they just add the fax functionality to the 980!?!? I'd buy in a heartbeat... now I'm second-guessing buying the 860 because I have a lot of great old photos on film and slides that I'd like to scan. *grumble* that and I still shoot 35 on my Nikon....but I NEED a fax machine.

Go to Setup > Release w/o lens and make it enable. It will definitely work.......

There is a link on the Lumix forum "FZ100 External Microphone". The OP found a mike that he says works fine. Audio- Technica ?? He posted the link.
