Less is sometimes more ...

First I had the FZ72- the Super Zoom 1200 mm opt. rel.KB has already irritated me - but after I had shot some test series, it was clear - the maximum aperture of 1: 5.9 made regularly higher ISO values ​​required, and the low light intensity has been reached already in the normal range. The FZ200 has consistently bright 1: 2,8er Leica lens - and that really is the hammer - the light intensity keeps the zoom to 600mm - and these are 2 ISO levels the course of the speed of benefit to and the quality - I come with 200 or even ISO 100 out may choose a faster shutter speed and the chip with fewer pixels rushes not so hot as that of the FZ72. The quality made me - although I'm spoiled right from a EOS 6D and PowerShot G1X - very surprised - the shots convince even at full aperture and maximum zoom level by fine drawing and good resolution and sharpness and a pleasant color reproduction - now I'm looking forward ever wondered why several kilograms of equipment with rumschleppen - (the EOS 6D brings 400 Zoom alone 3kg on the scale) - if I with 600gr. freehand get results that only a tiny tick if at all lag behind what I did with the heavy equipment reach -said the girl with the 2.8 / 600mm ahead and also in the extreme short range is unbeatable. Convincing is also the speed of autofocus - this is the fastest AF I've ever seen in a camera - who has even kept pace with the Affenhatz in Pavia enclosure and pictures supplied, I would not have thought possible. And 12IMAGES / sec. the highest resolution are of course a great achievement.
The viewfinder is a bit small, but bright enough and the settings were reading to do well on the eye - the swivel display is very convenient and provides with good sharpness The operation is quite clear and intuitive to master quickly -. I had so far had no view in the throw Bedinungsanleitung, they'll read but today times (I read something ;-)
Meanwhile, I have considered buying the new FZ1000 - However, although a larger sensor, but a fainter lens and a much shorter focal length. Since the Katz then bites its own tail - as I do stay only
times in this one - which has the makings of a new love :-)
Oh, shoot, it can also - as I do not know me like this but the data are significant.
In summary: More value for money there's the moment hardly anywhere else - the camera offers all around me - who looks for a powerful universal camera that fits comfortably in your hand and you can take in place of heavy machinery sometimes without afterwards to resent the missed opportunities - the gold with the FZ200.
