In the end I decided on the FZ200 because:
- The viewfinder is clearly better
- She has a folding screen
- The lens is simply much better (the FZ72 recorded just wide angle very strong)
- The 1200mm Zoom the FZ72 with a tripod not really convinced (image quality)
- The bright FZ200 lens with moving objects is clearly better.
Nevertheless, the FZ72 has given me a lot of fun. It is great in the hand (better than the FZ200) and the zoom range is really impressive!
From the picture quality (in the middle zoom range), the two take my opinion nothing.
If there were the FZ200 not I would have opted for the FZ72.
