Im not an expert but i think canon backsideillumination (BSI) sensor helps a lot in low light condition.

Im also glad that we can tweak canon powershot camera further like increasing the shutter speed to as fast  as 1/100000 secs to as slow as 2048 secs (34min) and ISO from 80 to 80000

cropping would degrade a picture's quality, but still depends on how much you cropped.

i still think that if TS get a zoom lens would be a wiser choice than getting a mega zoom P&S. bigger sensor will always give you cleaner images and better quality.

to make it clear, cropping is just taking a portion of the image. it does not degrade the image quality.

i think what mingyuyu's trying to say is that if you rely on crop, you are likely to be disappointed as cropping takes a section of the original pic.

so if the output on the original image is already bad, cropping it won't help unless you don't mind.

Ya I m kinda satisfied with my current gf3 picture, just tht I dun wish to invest more in lens and for convenient I just want to bring out a camera rather than carry it with other lens..

Moreover I miss view finder..

Now seriously dilemma over fz200 constant aperture f2.8 at any zoom and canon sx50hs 50x zoom...

Also thinking whether the fz70 have constant aperture 2.8 at any zoom o not?

telling u even a small sensor can produce such great picture?

Maybe you should just stay with Lumix ecosystem by choosing the latest one the fz70(fz72). THIS ONE WITH 60x MEGAZOOM!

it has f2.8 too but not sure it'll be constant at any zoom. I kinda a like it cause it has better accessories like mounting another telephoto lens to extend to  2,040mm! (thats crazy).



Im pretty sure u've bought lumix accessories for GH3 that still can be used for this cam.

Hi guys, I wanted to purchase a mega zoom camera but having difficulties in choosing one of this 3 brands?

Canon PowerShot SX50HS 50x zoom, 12mps
Nikon Cool Pix P520 42x zoom, 18mps
Panasonic Lumix FZ60 24x zoom, 16 mps

Currently still at beginner level, using Panasonic lumix GF3, wanted something to zoom further as often go for concert and like taking shot at animal/ insects.

*do not wanted to invest more in lens therefore wanna let go my compact 4/3 micro lens GF3 and go for this mega zoom camera....

Dear all sifu,

Kindly advise on which is better and more value to go for it.... As camera knowledge is too wide, and I m just a very beginner so.........

Thanks a lot in advance...

Dear sifus,

Is it still worth to get fz200 now despite rumor are stating the successor fz250 is coming out? Thank you....

Pretty dilemma now.. Confirm will buy fz200 over fz60 or 70 or even canon...

The camera is unbelievable......

just get it if you can get a good deal, any camera will be surpassed by future camera, just enjoy it

Thanks for ur kind opinion bro, I understand Future camera will definitely surpass current model, not only in camera world while all other things, as in like phone, car, or anything related to technologies...

My question is since the new one are around the corner and might be announcing anytime soon, so is it worth to get it now?

To apologise in advance, I might sound uncertain and contradict I been discussing wit my frd advised to get a dlsr either latest canon smallest dslr 100d or nikon d3200...

What you guys say and think?
