My opinion on the FZ200

Before ordering goods I have the price surges of the camera irritated (+ - 30 in a few days). I ordered then by an Amazon Sales Partner to deliver Amazon.
The delivery took place, as usual, quickly. Unfortunately, the camera has no German-language short operating instructions was, but only in Spanish and Portuguese (probably was not intended for the German market), but I have downloaded directly from Panasonic.
For quality: I'm impressed! Well the good zoom (with a reduced image size visually to 47 times!), As well as on the quality of the images (even some good panoramic shots are I managed) and handling. However, I allowed myself the book to the camera ("Super Zoom Photo School" of Frank Späth), because although the detailed operating instructions contain all the information, but only in the interaction of the ways the quality of the FZ200 is revealed. The Official Handbook is to the effect hardly recommendations, is also a bit confusing, because there is no alphabetical index exists.
To date, as well as 2 small criticisms I have noticed: First, the zoom could be slightly more sensitive to the speed regulated to be (especially for video), on the other hand I have repeated to me my (currently injured) middle finger pinched, as when holding me with Right Hand ausschaltete the camera. The zoom moves back there, and when the sun visor is fitted then reversed, the room is just right next to the lens. But the camera is not damaged because the zoom right back out moves something (pinch).
Less experienced photographer (like me) was also commended Lumix forum, because as you get tips, which have no book.
From me gets the FZ200 4 3/4 star, rounded up. 5

Addendum dated 28 February: The above-mentioned Amazon Sales Partners, of which my camera comes is, "jetsale". This company, I can not recommend this because it has 2x despite written request, to today sent me an invoice.
