To be fair the Fuji camera's make most superzoom's feel cheap , build quality is their strength but like said quite a few disappointing issues with them as well.

Panasonic camera's also take top honors year in year out for reliability , you can't say the same for Fuji's models.

The FZ 200's IQ is not an improvement over the FZ 150's imo , and i think it's a noisier sensor in general so i 'm hoping the next model will have corrected this.

I don't think Pani is going to continue with the 24 X zoom either, they will probably pump it up a bit but to what i don't know.

Great build but unreliable in getting the shots. Reliable in getting the pictures but noisy ones.

What a waste of the great build in the X-S1, and, the great lens in the FZ200. Maybe in 2013, we get something more worthwhile and I hope both makers just concentrate on fixing problems rather than introducing something radically new and ruin what could have been a nice superzoom again.  I don't think a longer zoom is a good idea for Pansonic.
