Which I acknowledged at the end.

I probably worry too much about innocents wandering the web, running across such deadpan humor - which all the humorist's peers 'get' - and ruining something of theirs.

I just had a question via B&H about whether the GX7 is a good upgrade from a Panny FZ50. An honest, innocent question, but revealing such a lack of knowledge ... From the fact that this person had been apparently happily using an all-in-one, small sensor superzoom from 2006 for eight years, and wants something that does the same thing, but is smaller and lighter, a GX7 sounds like a poor choice.

One reply waxed lyrical about the GX7, writing as though to another (D)SLR/ILC using person. I responded that the question is like asking if a sedan is a good upgrade from a pickup, or the reverse, went on to a very brief description of the differences and suggested some cameras that met the questioner's stated criteria.

The world is highly technical and complex in so many ways. Many, many of us turn to web searches to learn about tech things we don't understand. I have learned so much about so many things that way, and saved so much trail and error or destruction and so many $ that I value it a lot.

Overly Empathetic Moose?
