In the FZ series happened to the transition from the FZ-100 to FC 150 in the image quality a major step forward, which is why I opted for this model. With the FZ-150 I photograph for almost two years - especially bird photography. I in no way can compete with the DSLR's with this model, it was clear from the outset. Sometimes hit me a pitying smile when I. With my little FZ besides the "stovepipes" and "magic machines" of the "real" photographers took up a position Nevertheless, even those cameras to visibility and lighting conditions, photogenic situations etc. depend. Every now and then come to me even photos, not so far away from those of the "professionals" are high. And, my camera in my backpack I carry not difficult, but because of the low weight on your belt, so I anytime soon "how to draw a gun" may, what has often proved to be a huge advantage. Nevertheless, I thought of a higher image quality - especially in the zoom range. (. To my studies and LT trade press or relevant forums) The successor of the FZ-150, the FZ-200 is, in the BQ no better - made in other areas, however, vast improvements: video, aperture etc. After publication of the FC 72 with the spectacular-looking magnification I went again hopeful for retailers, to compare them with the FZ-150 in terms of BQ: Maximum zoom, freehand / resting a 30m distant shield in fiscal photographed (setting P / ISO 100 / AWG / Noise Reduction -2 / Sharpness + 1 / maximum image size in JPG format). As a result, the FZ-72 cut astonishingly worse than the FZ-150th When highly zoomed images on the displays, the contours were clearly blurred (at about the same magnification). Obviously, it has not been able to make the vote of enlargement and sensor optimally. Consequently, I take pictures with the FZ-150, until Panasonic - maybe in a next model - the BQ as hinbekommt that in turn "a big step forward" has been recorded.
