Re: The successor of SX40 HS announced next week or 14 days :)

The sx50 hs sounds good but there was no need to push the zoom to 42x. I would be shocked if it is not as good as the 40.

Regarding the FZ 200 i wouldn't put much weight into the images seen so far as there is a firmware update in the wings so until that happens comparisons are not worth much.

The FZ 200 is targeted at a completely different consumer anyway, they are not involved in the zoom race probably because they understand theres only so much that can be accomplished with a small sensor camera.

They are focusing on tweaking what they have and holding onto the crown of the camera for enthusiest title.

The Canons are much much more user friendly and will sell way more units because Panasonics always have limited availability and good luck finding one in a store.

Thank god for the bigger LCD and pixel increase, the SX 40's was terrible to say the least. Wonder if the 50 will come with raw instead of whats needed to get that in the 40. It will be a major mistake if it doesn't and it always loses points because of it.
