I am glad they shopped out bulk of the review to Jeff Keller.

http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/panasonic/dmc_fz200-review

He writes with clarity and deep experience. The review was through. And publishing now before the holidays helps potential buyers as well as stores, like Amazon, vs waiting until April the following year  with the FZ150 and a truncated review at that. This is much better. Thanks.

There are a couple points I would like addressed; a dynamic range figure in particular. With this being a new sensor I hope this has improved. Sure its still a very small sensor. But so much has changed with the lens etc I would be surprised if there wasn't some change in that regard. Maybe DPR can give DXO a gentle elbow on this? The DXO on the FZ150 is already done.

He used the UHS-1 card, but I would of preferred a positive statement on if this performs better than a Class 6 card etc instead of guesses in the recommendations. UHS-1 is still twice as expensive.

The videography notes did not list the high speed data. Although this was mentioned elsewhere in the review. Here is a YouTube search for "FZ200 high speed" or "FZ200 slow motion" , will give you some samples of those modes, 720p at 120 frames per minute and 640 x 480 at 240 frames per minute.
