Low light performance improves dramatically, with reasonable improvement in dynamic range as well, but decide if you want subject isolation or not (blurry background/foreground) in the more camera...

Add a zero; the FZ200. Buy now while they're still around.

Well thank you everyone for your oft kind and cautionary responses. I do indeed appreciate that life is pretty much sorted, and sincerely hope you all consider your own situations in similar...

Have never owned a dog before. So meet Frodo: He's getting used to the idea of walks. Though since I chose to present this photo of a walk, I notice the degree of overgrowth on our house: Which...

Good to hear from you Rudy. Had Panasonic continued developing the FZ200 they would see the dawn of the small sensor supercamera. But there is a commercial force that caps superzoom quality. All...

Don't get me wrong, I love stuff added to cameras, but not when there isn't a single sub DSLR camera out there with ALL those basic features I listed available on it. Every feature I include is a...

FZ50 please

I cannot begin to stress how much I couldn't care less about GPS. When most non-DSLR's are devoid of a full complement of basic operating controls, it's truly offensive to see such effort placed in...

It's all a pretty emotive subject for some. I was in a gift shop once and used my FZ50 to take a picture of a wall tile depicting a cottage; to check out for a place in the kitchen when back home....

Can you describe day to day improvements in image quality, as in away from ideal conditions, or as in the ability of the newer camera to adjust to shot for whatever the conditions happen to be at...

If you want an aircraft that really confused the ME109, look up the Avro Anson. One was attacked by 3 ME109s once, two of which were dispatched before the third broke away and made for home!

Nice idea. I have plenty. But to let other know, the charger works on the double rounded FZ8, FZ30 and FZ50 batteries as well. I use FZ20 batteries in the FZ50 in fact.

They have replied with a loose interest in the idea. It wouldn't be just for me though - obviously.

They have replied with a loose interest in the idea. It wouldn't be just for me though - obviously. And the FZ50 lens would bolt straight on.

Now put the FZ50 lens on it please.

Typically the FZ50 was left out of that line-up too. Well it is Dpreview after all.

Accomplished light control Stuart. Good shots. You reframe by cropping where I tend not to. I see here the advantage of doing so though.

Not all. The phone camera has split into two consumer levels the acceptability of image quality; that of the DSLR and that of the phone camera.  Those looking to elevate image quality above the...

Genious

As part of my work I survey projects, which includes taking plenty of photos. The smaller pocket stored phone camera is excellent, and by the time I return to my car the photos are in my Dropbox...
