Hi All,

thanks for interesting discussion. Just so you know I have not bought camera yet and I a..Also, didn't like ergonomics of it and there is no good grip for it

This is why it is always better to handle the camera before any purchase

- available one requires removal for battery change ( those little things can be irritating sometimes)...I have been looking lately at FZ 300 which would give me same size sensor, much brighter lens and great zoom and probably push my satisfaction level to 98% in outdoors and 90-95% indoor situations. Regardless, I enjoy reading your comments ..there is always something one can learn and get different angle on subject...:-)

It depends on how serious you want to get with your photography but this sensor is tiny so outside the zoom range it  does not bring anything in terms of IQ

If you already have a Panasonic and like their ergonomy and user interface I suggest you look at the Panasonic Fz 2000/2500 which is a MUCH better camera but still a all-in-one solution with a very large zoom range

If this is too expensive for your budget , how about a FZ1000 used ?

Hope this helps

Harold
