There is massive chromatic aberration on this picture. The top edges of the twigs are blue and the bottom pink. The hawks look like a 3d photograph without the glasses. I am out of this as this is not serious as it just looks like a teleconverter not really matched to the lens.

This image is the FZ200 at 600mm with the Nikon 1.5 ED telecon making it 900mm.

You correct there is some chromatic aberration.  The post processing is strange too for some.  I am sure there is some merit to the mis match idea.  Most of the panasonic bird shooters seem most pleased with the Nikon 1.7ED and 2nd place is my 1.5ED Nikon and third the Canon TC over the Panasonic matched one.  I am still very pleased with the sharpness and level of detail at 900MM equivalent.  I have to say I will take the chromatic aberration over soft and blurry.  If I could get this from a longer superzoom I am all in. But this is still effectively f2.8 at 900 so shutter speeds are still good.  I think only the SX50 and HX300/400 have a chance but since I already have the FZ200 the only reason to jump would be a cool innovation like the built in Red dot site which is super convenient.  My hot shoe Red dot is another thing to carry and do.  I am open to the SP100 but I need to see some sharp shots first.
