Best handling in this class

The camera follows us for the FZ150, which is slowly crumbling at 15,000 photos in two years; Dust on the sensor, the hinge of the display a little shaky. The FZ200 is slightly larger and some keys are more spacious and better serve distributed. Menu slightly modified and easy to operate; ELV significantly better but small picture compared to SLR or reviewing old prospectors. Lens despite the high light intensity remained compact and still 52mm filter diameter. With the new battery are about twice as many photos (ca 550 / per load) possible, as in the FZ150.Diese Bridge camera (s) cover an enormous range of functionality with compact dimensions and good usability. The boundaries of the image quality caused by the small sensor. A comparison with DSLR (I have four of them and tens of lenses) is so useful to have such a small car compete against a luxury sedan. On "dpreview" and in the Lumix forums there are many examples, such as when operated properly good pictures and videos can be achieved with this compact device. At the current price of less than 60% of the RRP a strong buy recommendation.
