camera for any places and situation equal emphasis on photo as video. The fast

At
least eight years not know what in the fast-paced Internet age may be considered
an eternity. That has never happened before! Panasonic FZ 200 is a megazoom
camera with a continuous speed of 1:2.8 - both in wide angle at 25 mm and
24-fold increase at 600 mm (according to small picture).
An impressive 24X zoom
The
FZ200 is the successor to the FZ150, as the affordable alternative remains in
the range. The light intensity is the key innovation, is still the 24x zoom.
The lens quality, Panasonic has in hand: almost no distortion, low edges
(vignetting) and overall good value for the chromatic aberrations (chromatic
aberration). Towards the margins can be the focus for about ten percent - this
is something worse than FZ150, but still in the green. The optical Image
Stabilizer allows safe hands-free design selection also at maximum telephoto.

While
main rival Sony is now at 18 megapixels, the twelve megapixel Panasonic remains
reliable, as in the FZ150. The sensor has been revised yet. This sensor should
be more sensitive and enable faster signal processing. He also supports light
sensitivity up to ISO 6400. Better photos delivers the image sensor is not. The
bottom line the FZ200 remains in image quality two scoring points off the FZ150.
There
are two reasons. It weighs most heavily the maximum resolution at ISO 100. We
only measure edge sharpness of 1,044 pairs of lines per picture height. Even
less, only six cameras from the leader board deliver close to Panasonic FZ150 models
(sorted by min. Resolution at ISO 100). By comparison, the FZ150 it brings to
1,222 pairs of lines. With increasing light sensitivity allows for the
resolution, the distance between FZ200 and FZ150 but similar. At open
aperture the FZ200 almost 200 line pairs more.
Panasonic
Lumix DMC-FZ200 equpipped 3-inch display with a sharp display and swivel capability. There
are 18 scene modes, aperture priority and aperture priority mode and a manual
mode. The desired mode is selected via the handy dial. You can capture panoramic
images using the FZ200 by pivoting away, but not in the huge size that offers
by Sony HX200V. Burst activate with its own key. In full resolution photos are
twelve possible in one second. With continuous focus adjustment halved that
number and at reduced resolution to 2.5 megapixels, up to 60 frames per second.
Fast autofocus
The
zoom is controlled with a lever on the top or a rocker on the lens. The autofocus you can use in different modes:
easy sharpening or continuously pursuing. Size and position of the measuring
field are variable. In the test, the autofocus reacted very swiftly and so
completely suitable for snapshots. There are two format storage in this camera,
you can choose between JPEG and RAW.
Sharp viewfinder.
For
image control you can rely on the screen or the viewfinder. The display has a
high enough resolution for a clear display and can be pivoted in two
directions. The viewfinder is also a high resolution, which represents a
significant improvement over the Panasonic Lumix FZ150. However, the viewfinder
opening remains quite small.
If
you want to make a film or video, then you can rely on this camera. You shoot
Full HD resolution at 50 frames per second. As storage formats are AVCHD and
MP4 for selection. Stereo sound is coming from the internal microphone or a
separate floating micro. To record, you have the choice between a fully automatic
or manual in PASM modes. The zoom is nice and quiet during the recording.

price of this camera is around 420 Euro. Panasonic FZ200 is perfect for the
holidays, and a great choice to take pictures of sport events, photographing
the animal’s activities in the jungle or safari parks, family events such as
birthday parties, weddings, and when you hold a business trip, and so on.
Before you decide to choose the Panasonic
FZ200, you can compare it with the Nikon Coolpix
S9300, Sony RX-100,
Olympus SH-25MR or
Panasonic Lumix TZ30
and Canon PowerShot
SX260 HS. This
entire camera are similar to the Panasonic FZ200, which all of
them has a long zoom range
(megazoom). All the cameras
mentioned earlier is the right choice
for you who do
not want the hassle that brings digital SLR cameras
or mirrorless camera
because you have to replace the lens if you want to capture distant objects, then immediately had to change lenses when you see interesting objects in front of your eyes. Of course the
Panasonic Lumix FZ200 is perfect if you
wanted to be conveniently when you are traveling to faraway
places.
