Question
Dear John, I'm deciding on a new digital camera.  We've always used Olympus and/or Canon over the years, but recently were shown the Panasonic lumix 4mp and 12x zoom.  Would you trust panasonic in this arena...never know they made cameras.  Whaddyathink?  Thanks.

Answer
Joe,

Well, I guess that would depend on what you mean by "trust.  The Panasonic has a nice lens, and I doubt the camera is just going to fall apart.  But I tend to stick with traditional camera makers because they have the most extensive background in building cameras and they know better what makes a good image.

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.

Experience

I'm an "expert" under photography. I've many years experience in photo retail.John and Chris
