FZ200 - Great Grey Owl, 11 stacked RAW images, enlarged to 8000 pixels wide

Backing up a bit, kkardster got my question correctly (I think!)  I was wondering why the FZ 150 and the FZ200 both create RW2 files and yet it seems that you need to upgrade your pp software to go to FZ200.

Regarding the other question: Rudy worked with original RAW files and I am simply surprised at how much "noise" there was in the originals that required the stacking to cover up the noise.  I would have expected noise in JPG but not in RAW.
