Panasonic FZ-200
Hi Rodger Ah, I see. Not quite what you were after but I'm glad you can now lock focus. It would drive me a bit nuts if I achieved focus and then the camera suddenly decided to alter it. All the best Hobbes -

Hi Rodger I just wondered if you'd been able to resolve this focus lock issue? All the best Hobbes -
Panasonic FZ-200
Hi Rodger That's very helpful to hear about the AF issue. The FZ150 doesn't seem to have that kind of option so I guess it's a case of testing out which setting works on the FZ200. My old FZ8 had the AFC setting and that's what I used. Once you half-depressed the shutter button, it locked (even... -
Panasonic FZ-200
Beautiful, Rodger. It looks like you've got the hang of the 'new' camera ;). I am considering selling my FZ150 and going for the FZ200 just to get that low light performance...your shots do show that the image quality is as good on both cameras I think. Having used the FZ200 for a bit now, are... -

Amazon have them, it seems: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-DMW-LT55E-Tele-Conversion-Lumix-FZ100/dp/B000HCL6BS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352280535&sr=8-1 This is the one I have for my FZ150. Hobbes -
Panasonic FZ-200
Hi Rodger (and apologies for consistently spelling your name wrong in the past ;)!) Your summary and the images on your flickr site are very helpful, thank you. I can see that the FZ200 is definitely going to be the camera to use in low light situations. Impressive improvement from Panasonic... -

Panasonic FZ-200
FZ200 or FZ150? Thought it might be worth asking this question now that I know a few of you have experience of both these cameras? I was just wondering, if you had to choose between them, would you go for the FZ200 or FZ150? Also, is the FZ200 image quality much of an improvement on the FZ150... -
Panasonic FZ-200
Hi Roger, Many thanks for taking the time/effort to prepare these and the other comparison shots. It's really useful. I agree, you've achieved a nicer bokeh on the FZ200 shots here, which is good to see. That is probably my main issue with the FZ150 - you can get nice sharp shots but... -
Panasonic FZ-200
Hi Roger, I agree re: the focus on the FZ200 on the spoonbill. It's just surprising that the colour rendition seems better. I do find that the exposure can be difficult to get right with the FZ150, with highlights being blown out and dark areas under-exposed. It seems less capable than my very... -
Panasonic FZ-200
Interesting comparison shots, Roger. Thanks for preparing/posting them. I agree, the sharpness/focus seems to be better on the FZ150. However, the white-balance seems better on the FZ200. I do find the colour balance of the FZ150 really isn't great - it suffers from a green colour-cast which is...
