Customer Review

I was looking for an alternative for my SLR to travel, and came across the Panasonic FZ72.

That you do not, the quality can compare with an SLR, is clear to me. The sensor is much smaller, and there are already plenty of noise 16MB, which is still increasing at higher ISO Zahl.Deswegen it makes sense with fewer MB (5.7 or 10) to take pictures. The 16MB, in this camera is just too much. What bothers me more, is the relatively low setting option in the panel: only between 2.8 and 8. Many images are somewhat low in contrast. Is it possible, however, correct to the camera or with image processing program yet.
Well of course the huge zoom range. 20mm wide-angle is a bit fine. In telephoto range, there are limitations, because you already sees in such focal lengths rather than rarity without a tripod without wobbled recordings. The focusing is quite fast, only in another telephoto it may take a little longer. Macro setting is also available, but with other cameras, also with compact, the image quality is better.
Otherwise there is still plenty of adjustment options.
Conclusion: as a travel camera quite suitable, but less picture quality than an SLR or system camera.
