FZ200: Any Regrets?

Hi, Tim. Nope, have not read any of your posts. I was quoting and replying to the OP.

I come from the world of darkroom and film so I'm predisposed to trying to create the best possible image out of the box and not relying too heavily on post production 'magic' but that was how my workflow evolved. Plus the fact that in the darkroom you were limited to basics such as dodging and burning and colour filtration to get your colour balance right. I guess if my name was Jerry U then that might be a bit different... Which is why I'm quite happy with the results from the FZ200, shooting jpeg I don't have a lot of post work to do whether it be colour correction or exposure.

Do notice that without making adjustments in high key lighting situations the highlights can get blown out but that can be adjusted with exposure comp in camera.

I shoot a lot of 'difficult' lighting situations with the FZ and so far I'm quite impressed by what it can do. Of course it is not my 5D but unless I really need huge files blown up the FZ does the job.
