While the "iA" feature is handy, but can you really ausreizen the TZ61 my opinion only with the P, A, S - and especially the M-mode. Especially handy I find with this is that you can perform the manual focus with the control ring on the lens. This is selectively adjustable, otherwise I set the zoom feature on this ring. Toll!
However, one already has to deal with some of the camera (and the manual). For the impatient also a cheaper clippers ranges.
Have thoroughly and extensively tested, which are very similar to that of the BQ before buying comparable Cams Sony and Canon. Decisive for me then but the slightly better image quality, the better stabilizer lightning-fast autofocus, the RAW option - and, as I said, the practical viewfinder!
Besides I still have the TZ61 TZ25 (~ 2 years) nor the FZ200 (~ 2 years) and more recently the FZ1000. All great cameras, specifically the FZ1000, if one wants to time to "play" with the correct settings. But I'm afraid that in the future most of the photos are upfront with the TZ61. My sündteure (and heavy) Canon DSLR equipment I use virtually no longer dozing in the showcase in front of him ....
