Just ordered one
Any thoughts on which TC to get, are there any differences between tcon-17 and the pana (DMW-LT55E)? One is heavier than the other? The tcon, as said, seems a bit hard to get.

some photos of redpolls taken with the fz150
After reading this thread in its entirety, I ordered the FZ150 the other
day from a dealer in NYC, and just received it.
What an awesome Camera, and can't wait to get out in the field and
start using it.
I've heard talk, that there are Bald Eagles over at a local reservoir,
and going heading over tomorrow morning. Hope I get lucky.
On the AF settings you can adjust the point of focus to a tight spot,but it does not stay in that setting next time the camera is switched on. I am sure i have read about this somewhere but now cannot find it. Is there a way of keeping this setting as a default without having to change it every time ?
Hi JD, there is no way of keeping the focus setting after you turn the camera off, it always defaults back to the second smallest focus square, with one exception. I have tried many ways to get round this, but have failed. I also tried setting it up in a custom setting, but that didn't work either. There is one way you can stop it and that's by setting the camera's focus to one of the other focus options, such as the 23 point setting. Then that will become the default setting. This is what you get as the default setting in iA. In that setting it doesn't matter if you change it to the centre point focus, after you turn off the camera and turn it back on the 23 point setting will be back again.
I just discovered this forum and since I purchased an FZ 150 last week have thoroughly read through all the comments in this thread. Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to contribute. I hope to do the same as I learn to use the camera. For the time being, I too have the question rergarding developing the RAW images. Since I have not done it before, I am finding the Silkypix software a little daunting. Any suggestions as to the easiest way to proceed? Thanks.
My understanding is that Adobe Camera RAW is only free if you already have a shell from which to run it, in other words a recent issue of Elements, Lightroom or CS.
