Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 and Extras

 16.1MP, 60X Zoom (optical), 1080P video at 30FPS.
Not a fan of that lens cap - it comes off a bit too easy. 
 60X Optical zoom. 
 You can use the screen to line up a shot or the view finder - there is a button to turn on the view finer. There is a diopter. 
Easy to use controls and a nice grip. There is a dedicated record video button. You can take a still while recording. 
 When I ordered it, I got the bag and kit with it. It did arrive separately though, several days apart.
 (Don't mind the fail to focus on the part of my cell phone here)... Kit came with a leans cleaning cloth, extra battery and a card reader that plugs into a USB 3 port. Not used it, can't tell you the transfer speed.
 2 Extra cards I get separate - these are left over from my old camera. They are class 10 16 GB cards. The one in the camera is 64 GB class 10 1000X card. This this lets the camera cycle fast and keeps up with video very well. The big blessing is removing photos and video on the PC in my card slot. It goes a hell of a fast transfer rate. The photos always have that lag time between them, but when the videos come off - wow is it fast :) Woot...
Kit came with 2 chargers - the far one is a travel charger that will plug into the wall or the 12V port in your car. The near one is a faster wall charger for at home. I keep them both in the kit. The battery lasts for hours. I was not able to get threw both batteries in one day and we took literally 1000 photos and shot several video clips testing this thing out. The image quality is stunning in all kinds of light conditions. Low light is not as good in auto mode, but when you set it to manual and set it up right - the low light is great. I got a tripod with it as well - a nice one, not the junk I hand for the last one LOL. It has a level on it and so on. Will hold 20X the weight of this camera - so it's all good. I did not take photos of the tripod today though. You seen one, you seen them all. All in all I am very happy with the camera and kit. The camera is the best I have personally owned, but not the best I have ever used. That was a rebel... But we won't go there. You can get many extras for it like filters, flash, video lamp and a mic. I got this for $180 on sale, I think the kit added in an extra $65 and was well worth it. Average price seems to be $250 but I have seen as high as $390 - that is just stupid when you can get it easy enough for $250. I got it on sale and had a coupon code and a discount card. So I cashed in big time. All in all I recommend both products (camera and kit).

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
