Going from DSLR to FZ200, your impressions

Hi Jack:

I hear ya... Regarding brightening (contrast) and colour saturation, the FZ200's internal settings can be adjusted so you would never have to add these in post processing... I just have my camera set up to shoot a bit on the flat side so I had contrast in post.

The only real bugga-boo with the FZ200 that have to learn to deal with if you want great photos is noise. The darn thing produces at least some noise, even at ISO 100 (we're not talking a horrendous amount... but "some", which will become even more noticeable when you want to sharpen, either in-camera or in post). Even mid-range DSLRs produce noise as the lights go down, so spending $40 on the home version of NeatImage is a must-have.

Therefore, step 1 =>denosie, step 2=>sharpen... and NeatImage does both steps in one and BINGO you're done..... geeze I sound like a commercial!!! LOL!
