Hi all,

Hoping to buy a FZ-20 very soon,and going to ask about the noise issue that i have read so much about.Is it that bad???Is it worse than any other non-dslr camera on the market.I own a G5,and know they are not the best,but easy to live with.Is the FZ-20 worse??
Any input will be much appreciated.

Use 80 if you can, 200 if you have to, 400 if you just can't get the shot any other way. I personally wish the noise was more "grainy" and less "digital-y" as the aesthetics of the noise is what drives me nuts about the cam. Blue and green speckles, yellow blotches, all of which I have managed to fix in photoshop, but it takes so much time....

But that's at high ISOs and with shots I plan to display/give as a gift/etc.

Most of the time, it isn't a problem. I would like a dslr though. But they aren't good enough yet to justify the purchase in my eyes.

Using the histogram as my guide. I used to shoot primarily in aperture priority but the auto shutter speed is too conservative, leading to overexposure. With the histogram, I can push the exposure a little and get pretty good shots.
