Going from DSLR to FZ200, your impressions

Hi Jack:

Sorry, I just spent almost 30 minutes writing you a comprenhesive assessment and this dog-gone forum software trashed my text... and I don't have the time or the will-power to write it all again... nuts!!!

Anyway, in a nutshell it is this: with the FZ200 you save a ton of money, it is way more convenient and over all more versatile, and a whole lot more fun. What you have to give is some IQ (lots if you owned a Canon 5D Mark II like I did) and you will have to have some good PPing skills to deal with noise and maximize the final appearance of your photos.

My advice is that you closely examine as many photos as you can in the galleries of FZ200 users. My Flickr gallery (see link below) has many full and nearly full-sized images in it so folks considering this camera can see the IQ at the pixle level.

Hopes this helps and good luck in your decision,

Rudy
