I am very pleased with my FZ200, it's so light and easy to use, I can handhold it at such ridiculously low shutter speeds, the shutter is light as a feather

Very nice, I love the details.
 
WiltshireMoonraker I recall your interesting engaging processing with your Samsung Nx10 Nx30 aps-c milc.

Had Fz200 2017 gonna pick up one once more. Handily takes same BLC12 battery as my m4/3 G80.

These 3 are my favourites.

Thank you for your comments and I do still have the NX10 with some lenses but will probably sell it at some point as I am now quite happy with my FZ200 and Stylus 1. It would be nice if some camera company could bring out a new bridge camera but at todays ridiculous prices, I would never be able to afford one.

Very welcome. 🍻☕

I'm similar in terms of expenditure currently.

That's a terrfic combo Fz200 with Stylus 1 covers so many bases whilst being small convenient to readily bring lots of places.

[ o ]

Stylus1/s or Tz100 Tz200 easily pocketetable is quite appealing for my urban london photography day night. My go to combo Gx7 + 14-140 Pany sometimes is just too bulky in london even though its pretty small.

For 600mm Fz200 is more convenient lot smaller than my my G80 + 45-200 Pany + Pany Lt55 1.7x giving 680mm. Fz200 constant f/2.8 closes the gap with the slow f/5.6 of 45-200 Pany. I'd have to compare both to see which I prefer. (Pany 45-175 is a better lens than 45-200). Bonus Lt55 1.7x Pany 52mm thread fits straight onto Fz200 52mm thread.

If I went this route Fz200, Stylus 1/s or Tz100 Tz200, I would still keep m4/3 for portraits, for PDAF, for adapted manual lenses, ultrawide, very bright lenses, screw / clip on ND filters even though Stylus 1/s has 3 stop ND filter built in.

I have a preference for m4/3 nowadays compared to aps-c, full frame. I'd like to pick up Lx100 even though various Dpr forum members found it sucked dust on to sensor via lens

I do actually like the M4/3 system having had a EM10ii, EM1ii and a EM5ii but it's just the bulk and hassle of carrying extra lenses that I really don't want anymore. I have also had a LX100 in the past and to be honest, I was very dissappointed with the image quality but perhaps I had a duff copy.
 
I really enjoy this collection. I like the b/w treatment on those that you chose. My favorite is the pitcher in the window. But, I like them all.

If I can pick up a Tz100 or Oly Stylus 1/S reasonably priced would replace my Gx7+14-140 as an everyday carry. I had Tz100 in 2020 then lockdown happened sold it.

Fz200 could well replace my G80+45-200+Lt55 1.7x Probably be the next camera I pick up. Had it 2017.
I have also had a LX100 in the past and to be honest, I was very dissappointed with the image quality but perhaps I had a duff copy.
LX10/15 with its f/1.4 on 1inch sensor is also tempting.

To get the quality of glass in m4/3 comparable to quality glass on a premium compact, quality superzoom I'd have to spend a fair amount don't currently have + they would add bulk. Plus there's no glass in m4/3 aps-c fullframe that's as convenient versatile as Lx10/15, Lx100, Fz200, Tz100.

Yes there is definately a gap in the market that needs filling :)
 
Excellent presentation. Well seen.

I am another NX10 user who swapped to the Ricoh GXR-M and used both types with Legacy Manual Focus (LMF) lenses. I did have the kit lens and one other for the NX10 and 100% LMF for the GXR-M. I had an earlier flirtation with a number of the early Panasonic bridge cameras. I still have most of them tucked away.
 
Some really excellent shots here. Wiltshire can very photogenic. I live next door in West Berkshire which is not as pretty.

I bought an FZ200 when it came out and was very happy with it as an extra camera but never thought it would satisfy all my types of photography. Now have replaced it with an FZ330 which I have no intention to replace. It ticks so many boxes and is so easy to just grab and shoot with.

But I think the gap in the market that you speak of is getting wider. Grab and/or keep what we have is the best policy whilst we can.

Beautiful images. i have and love my FZ300 for the same reasons, incredible focal range, lightweight, and very decent IQ. I just bought a Nikon Z camera and 2 lenses, then returned it. Who needs to waste time to change lenses when one of these cameras can do it all?

Best,

There are some beautiful areas in West Berkshire, my daughter lives in Inkpen but I am very lucky living in Devizes as it's pretty central to so many historic sites, Avebury, Silbury Hill, Stonehenge, etc :)
