Help me learn! FZ200

Definitely a lot to think about. The consensus is strongly against under exposing so I will put that idea out of my head to start. Raw+Jpg will eat up HD space so I will have to be more disciplined in what I keep and what gets trashed. That's a great reminder. I am awful for doing that,  filling up everything with mediocre stuff just incase some day I might want to rework it. (And I very rarely ever do)

I do have most of a 30 day trial left for Lightroom 4 that I want to take advantage of before I switch to Silkypix. Chances are I will love it by then and have to have it even with the hefty price tag, but starting a Silkypix trial now would probably just end up confusing me and I wouldn't really get a good grip on either software program jumping back and forth.
