Big Warning to all potential buyers ... The battery will not be possible to OPEN if you decide to put any kind of video quick release.
Only those super ultra small photography quick release will allow the battery door to open ...
So, its practically useless for using in events, weddings, corp work unless you want your client to wait 5mins just for you to change batteries. LOL
I think u didn't complete the sentence. Its practically useless FOR 'Events, Weddings & Corp Work'.
Of course, if i use it for photography or hand held personal videography projects its ok and not useless.
You do know that we videographers use pretty big quick release and its a must to have. Cannot use another type of release if not it will not fit the whole setup of tripod, sliders, glide cams, cranes, etc.
Most cameras of this size have the battery located at the bottom eg canon, sony , nikon etc. Some of those cameras have been used to film HD movies and documentaries. They dont seem to be "useless" at all
I think you don't get what i meant at all ... Please go read up and study the camera before making more comments that will make you look really .... (nvm, lol)
The pictures from Kandinsky will give you a hint.
And all you focus on is the word useless ... You didn't even read my first comment on the battery door. OMG. The word might be harsh but it looks like it for some of us.
And Kandinsky ... I've already made my POINT that is Useless FOR professional work (except for onset movie production where u have hell a lot of time) because its really unprofessional if you need to remove the QR everytime u need to change battery (and that takes 5mins) and also kills your balance if u use the glide cam ... I've never said it was bad for peeps using it as a photo camera OR for leisure and this joker just kept harping on that single word ... And also Kandinsky you do know its really dumb to have a separate QR format if you are already using lets say Manfrotto's 577 plate for the rest of your cameras right?
Are you like that in real life Maldito? Your Co-workers summarise a topic and you just pick a word to critique for a few meetings? LoL
Lastly, my message was to INFORM potential videographers about the issue instead of finding any fault with anyone. And i do also know there is ONLY ONE professional branded QR that can fit and yet open the battery door in the market. Even the widely use Manfrotto 323 Plate can't be used.
I do have a feeling that there will be a FZ1100 that will replace this and solve the problem within 6mths cause panasonic does listen to their customers.
Cheers
This is the internet bro. So u going to go on and on referring back to other ppl' opinions? Which they had all the right to do so no matter u agree or not.
U do have the right to say your view but I'm not join in your quest to find justice in everything you feel unjust in the online world. Good luck in doing that.
And to poke fun and hopefully make u not so happy. Here is a reviewer talking about it. There r ppl in the comments who solved the issue using as mentioned very small QR plates but there ppl complaining. U can go tell them your logic find eternal justice! Cheers
