I wanted to buy a digital SLR. An acquaintance, the Brigde camera Lumix FZ200 had bought. The immediately caught my eye. Above all, the Zoom 25 - 600 mm in focal length (small picture) and the continuous light intensity F = 2.8 convinced me. You have everything here, does not require interchangeable lenses. So I decided to buy this camera. Delivery was very fast, first recordings more than satisfactory. After a few days, however, showed an error when playing back the photos of the camera monitor or via HDMI cable for LED TVs. Very bright spots, like white clouds were displayed flashing normal and black. I contacted the Amazon customer service, we immediately sent me a new camera, the defective I sent back free of charge on Hermes to Amazon. Excessive peak service for which I would like to thank you again. Now everything is chic, the camera takes great photos, you can also make a lot of settings. Moreover, one can also record Full HD videos. I can gladly recommend the camera.
