The FZ200 is certainly not bad .. but ... The case is processed much too cheap, thus it acts really very cheap and so Made in China The Cam does only in good weather sharp images, in the house she is really very bad. The continuous aperture of 2.8 is really overrated .. I have it sent back and bought the Sony HX400, which suggests prosecute the FZ200 in all !! When looking at both compares cams (eg. Image quality) Dan will you differentiate the look immediately
