I have this camera risen as a second camera to capture even decent results with little equipment. After the first photos and movies I have to ask myself what I was still with my 20x expensive equipment (Canon 5D MKII, Lumix GH2, Sony HDR AX2000) is still !? The picture quality is sensational. Unmatched in every respect so far. The weak point of this bridge cameras is mostly compact super zoom lens, but again I can say - the times have changed. The Lumix FZ200 mach significantly sharper, truer color and detailed images than even the "official Canon 5D MKII with L_Objektiv 70-200mm / 2.8 USM II" !!! With a maximum aperture of 2.8 consistently working with the FZ200 is a dream. The processing of the case is first class and feel well. Sony and Canon can dress warmly ;-) I would this camera awarded 6 stars.
