I was looking for an easy replacement for the heavy equipment - as to cover all the major system camera, which the FZ72 can to come before a few kilos in the photo backpack. Of course me the superzoom has particularly irritated with 1200 mm - and that's really a great thing - because you can take pictures of people from a distance, where not dream to be photographed just because they see the photographer at all. So observe a the perfect tool for private investigators and police the drug dealer and Hütchenspieler or paparazzi and, of course, for sports and wildlife photography ????? I thought first time, unfortunately, the picture quality is not accordingly. In areas where there is no such chips are down, so the private detective or the paparazzo it may concern, because the small lightweight plays its strength from full - a 1200 optical zoom with image stabilization with the hinkriegt one even hand-held shooting, which also in 10x15 cm look good. Since you can even the digital zoom switch, and just amazed. But if you also increased only slightly, it is unfortunately already slightly blurred and pixelt easily, and at 200 ISO takes the clearly - you need but because of the relatively low intensity of the Tele that already at about 50mm rel. to KB rapidly drops and then evenly only at 1: 5.9 liegt- which then makes the difference from 100 to 400 ISO - ie 1: 2.8 would 100 ISO. The 16 Megapix make the carbon as well as non-greasy - quite the opposite - less if it were certainly more. Also available in carrying my camera thickish on - there is then ever light yellow to light orange - and now that I'm doing a lot of times Tierfotos and macro photos and what sharpness, color fidelity and resolution of concerns have slightly higher claims, the camera went back again. Instead, I got the FZ200 brought and have to say that 100 more have paid off - the picture quality is much better and can be represented by the higher light intensity and the mE better sensor ultimately get out of the picture about what reaches the FZ72 with superzoom. Nevertheless, I must say, the handling of the camera is good, fast autofocus, the optical quality of the lens well - the value for money outstanding. The for's album or just for the Use Web and as photographed in low resolution for someone - for police, paparazzi, clamps and detectives - for all the questions no extreme demands on the focus and accept that one tele often only possible with 800 ISO may set up - for a strong buy recommendation. This thing is a fun gun. But a 58mm2 large sensor with 16.1 million receptors it can hold not work miracles
