Birds in nature with sunlight was my test today. Short of "very pleased" to be here no more talk.
I guess the bird of the selected image was about 7 m above me in the tree, I was able to (129: = 720 mm) with full zoom achieve a useful bird size in the image. (With less zoom I have photos still try.) Again: 100% enlarged and as a JPG (quality 90%) are the images attached. (Unfortunately not, see the last sentence.)
Sharpness I do not want to talk. The JPG and RAW are very soft, with the JPG this time my opinion is better than my RAW. If at low ISO values (here: 125) is always the case, then brings a RAW regarding the achievable image sharpness Unfortunately no advantage! See the photos without 100% viewing the monitor good but for deductions from 60 x 80 (I think) the quality is too low.
I hope now that with images in the middle zoom range, the thing still improved ... In the meantime 1 star deduction = 4 stars.
?! Unfortunately I see no way to upload new pictures! Am I missing something?

Today I made a small hike in the best weather while images taken with the TZ71. The JPGs have all become good (mainly at ISO 100 is also no great art). The RAWs parallel made: As written above "JPG ... better than my RAWs". (With more time the RAWs are also safe to curb.) Conclusion about this:
- Always both recording and JPGs prefer the RAWs as long as you want to correct anything. -
The sharpness of the images I would describe as satisfactory (knackscharf is really something else), thus making a digital zoom, in my opinion little sense ("x 4", another customer has requested) and is anyway not be activated when shooting RAW. Today I have the movie function uses: The autofocus fits, ie no pump and therefore is a manual focus unnecessarily. The result is impressive (at least compared with my Fujifilm camera system).
3.5 stars I would the camera currently give with bias to 3. Why? The focus is finally not any parameter among many but one of the most important. Man should decrease in future prefer to telephoto to 480 mm for example, and for block better optics.

After a week of use on vacation, I can now say that I actually usually 80 or 100 obtain images with ISO. Thus, the images due to high ISO values to spoil in good weather -none- danger. I am glad to have bought me this "Zoom miracle" as a second camera.
