Shall we start a new topic ? GX85/80 is dead now. Long live to GX90/91/95/99 or whatever the stupid Panasonic naming convention is calling the new camera. 

This new Lumix can be a good companion to CL, they share the same batteries as a start. 

I don't think there is any sensor difference between the 8 series and the 9 series, so the relevant remarks will still be valid.

The GX80/85 has a 16mp four thirds sensor. The current GX9 has a 20mp four thirds sensor. Do they really share the same battery with the CL? I'm always attracted to the idea of having cameras that share batteries. The Leica Q has the same battery as the Panasonic FZ2500 superzoom, from what I understand. The same battery has been used across the 2006 Fuji F30 pocket camera, the Fuji X100/S/T, and the Ricoh GXR. Panasonic uses the same battery in the LX10 pocket camera and the GM1/5 m43 cameras.

My mistake in that case. I thought the GX85 had the same 20.3 MP sensor as the GX8. I use the batteries I have (6 of them of three different brands) indiscriminately between my GX8 and CL.

And don’t heckle. 

I'd like to know what you mean by this before I even respond. It sounds a lot like a request to censor myself and NOT respond. Or I have been "heckling" in the sense like an audience member heckles a comedian or performer.

Still no response? 

It leaves my argument intact. Unless you want to talk about linguistics and culture. From Wiki in regard to your supposition that some cultures can't differentiate between blue and green :

Quote

Many languages do not distinguish between what in English are described as "blue" and "green" and instead use a cover term spanning both. To describe this English lexical gap, linguists use the portmanteau word grue, from green and blue, which the philosopher Nelson Goodman coined in his 1955 Fact, Fiction, and Forecast to illustrate the "new riddle of induction".

The exact definition of "blue" and "green" may be complicated by the speakers not primarily distinguishing the hue, but using terms that describe other color components such as saturation and luminosity, or other properties of the object being described. For example, "blue" and "green" might be distinguished, but a single term might be used for both if the color is dark.

Interestingly, a google translation in Japanese shows two distinct words for "blue" and "green." What does that make of your argument? And don't heckle.

Yes, at present. Originally the word for Blue-Green was Ao, but nowadays, as Japanese culture opened up to the western world, the word Midori was added to differentiate.

And where is the authority for your assertions? Please quote your sources more specifically.

This is a B&W image with grid lines added, the brain makes it colour. you may need to squint, I found it interesting considering current discussion about brain rendering of colours.

Didn't I also remember reading about some guy wearing glasses that made everything upside down, then after wearing them for about a week the brain turned everything the right way up.

A truly amazing processor.

surely not

my aim when taking a photo is to not have to do anything to them later and assumed that to be the rule rather than exception?

I believe that it is the exception, not the rule.

Why should it be a rule?

For me, the finished image is that which comes from the camera (which camera applies its own processing), improved and perfected by post-processing.

It's all part of the process of photography.

Just like with film (darkroom), a digital image comes in two parts. Taking a photograph and processing it. Both are equally important for a good result. Using the OOC JPG is like leaving the processing and printing of your film to a street corner printing machine. You <might> strike it lucky, but mostly not, and proper darkroom/postprocessing work will always be better.

I think  that the vast majority of our forum members are aware of this.

Ok, fair enough 

I'm being a bit purist I suppose 

But, if you need to do anything much more than 'tweak' then maybe take a bit more time on the actual 'moment'

It's the reason I tend to take out just one lens, often a prime, despite having them all, to impose some 'mindfulness' 

But of course we are all into this photography game for our own reasons and I sometimes forget

Before changing to digital a good few years ago I used to shoot mainly colour slide film and therefore had to impose "mindfulness" at the time the photo was taken as no post processing was possible.  Many of my digital shots are done the same way, although post processing does tend to enhance the finished product.

The advent of the digital age has changed everything. The ability to shoot 4-500 pics in one day without a film autowinder (which made it exorbitantly expensive for most people anyway), has changed the way people engage in photography  image capture. 

Before, you would be more calculated in your shot choice. You'd be more discerning. Today? Who cares. Shoot 200 frames in half a day and pick the top 1%. Process later, when you have 5 f/stops leeway, sliding levers and software that creates the craft for you. You don't need to have a good eye, you need volume. Youtube will tell you how to compose, and 1000 users on flickr will compliment you on your work, inflating your ego.

Hand 100 monkeys typewriters and eventually they will come up with T.S. Elliot.
