Are these FZ200 shots more or less noisy than you would expect?

Are you submitting the photos via the iPad?  There have been a few threads about maintaining exif.  Where are the photos stored (on a hosting site? on your computer?)

If I view your images at 100%, what I posted is a bit of what I saw.  All the stuff which looks like tiny ripples is artifact added during the digital zoom.

Now, you may not care that it's there ( If you're viewing at reduced size or making smaller prints) and that's fine - but it does restrict your ability to print at larger sizes.
