Walking around Shrewsbury with a brick!

Hello there

I don't know if this will be of help but I've had an FZ150 since January and it is a really great little camera. I had an FZ28 before that and I just liked the versatility of these models. Sort of go anywhere do anything. I'm just a keen amateur so the lower IQ from the smaller sensor is ok for me as I'm not expecting to earn money from this or make enormous blow ups. (Having said that I've already had a shot published in a regional magazine)

I now use it as a supplement to my DSLR instead of my GH2 - I've got the 14-140 lens on my GH2 and the lens is woefully slow in English weather and lighting so despite the bigger sensor I get far more keepers from my FZ150 than I do from the GH2.

To augment the FZ150 I almost always use a Raynox macro lens for close up work, I have closely followed the set up advice that is mentioned in this forum (on several threads) and I invested in lightroom and have started to shoot some work in RAW. For a lot of my landscape, and some architectural shots, I will frequently shoot panoramas and vertoramas and stitch these together using microsoft ICE software.

Please feel free to have a butchers at my FZ150 album here on this site - but be warned.... I do like to go to town with the PP! It works for me but isn't everyone's cup of tea

Good luck with your decision

Regards

Cluke
