It doesn't have raw only jpg. I wouldn't be surprised if the lens and other internals are the same source as the coolpix. On Wed, 5 May 2021 at 19:53, Henk Terhell wrote: > > Ann, nice results you get with this high zoom small sensor camera. > > I've seen here a cheap second hand Pentax XG-1 for

Ann, nice results you get with this high zoom small sensor camera. I've seen here a cheap second hand Pentax XG-1 for sale, that has 52 x optical zoom and a 16MP sensor. Probably a similar camera as the Coolpix 520. Does anybody have some experience with this camera? I'll have a look also at

I had a Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS which I used as my beach and snorkeling camera. It performed very well for years of hard use and abuse. I will be looking for a replacement for it when I go back to Maui in Jan 2022. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery

Good to hear. I recently got the P950 which is more or less an upgraded version of the 520. Have fun with the extreme zoom! On Wed, 5 May 2021 at 12:51, ann sanfedele wrote: > > Thanks Toine, Larry, Alan! > > Toine - I am definitely keeping the camera.. need to do some fine tuning > on my user

Thanks Toine, Larry, Alan! Toine - I am definitely keeping the camera.. need to do some fine tuning on my user programmed auto-mode .. and get up on all the bells and whistles.. Alan - the major problem here with the dining sheds is that there have been too many accidents of them being taken

Well done Ann. The no-frills construction of the makeshift "restaurant" is so like the shacks in which the masses live in SA. With mostly no electricity they unfortunately become terrible fire hazards. Alan C On Wed, May 5, 2021 at 1:05 AM ann sanfedele wrote: > Took the Coolpix out for a

Thanks , RIck  - and Paul and Dan.. The second shot is just  a bit of history  to those who know what is going on there... the building in the background is what has been going up in place of those that were lost in the spring of 2015 when an illegal gas pipeline exploded and caused a big

Ann, I really like the tulips shot. Glad you got the Coolpix working. DSLRs are, indeed, heavy. I’m usually not carrying extra lenses lately, and occasionally just a prime (the 21 pancake is my favorite). Rick > On May 4, 2021, at 7:05 PM, ann sanfedele wrote: > > Took the Coolpix out for

Glad to see the camera is working for you. Ann! That tulip photo is a fine image, with pleasing colors, and the other shot shows what the camera can do as far as street photography. Good work. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On

Took the Coolpix out for a trial run..  I set ISO to 400 on the program mode and bracketed but don't really need the bracketing .. I can fix that later if needed. Went back and forth between the default auto settings an my program settings.. didn't get much to like but this one..
