FZ200 - First Superzoom tried that's worth keeping..

Picked up a FZ200 it was the effective 25-600 at a constant 2.8 that had me interested.

IQ at 100% on a standard low dpi computer monitor is lacking
but if you view it's images on a high DPI device like the iPad 3
or resize them to 1080p for HDTV viewing they look great.

At the pixel level it's not going to come close to a Canon 5D II with a 500 f/4 or even with a 400 5.6, but given the simplicity of its size, weight, low cost etc, and that 99% of the time I view photos on the iPad 3 or HDTV, it's a keeper.

Only thing I wish it did is macro / focus closer when zoomed.

Here's quick one at 600, not the best with the over exposure, but beats carrying the other big heavy gear for my uses...
