news What canera is the best? - Panasonic FZ5 - or - FZ20 -- Cheers _ Hunibal _ Has anyone yet seen a published portrait taken with either the FZ5 or FZ20 showing natural skin tones, and not overly pink, red or orange? Check out this pic: http://img2.dpreview.com/gallery/pan...19-1100-10.jpg The sitting guy has the typical FZ style red face, but the girl on the poster has a much more subtle face color. Is it that the camera overreacts from the natural haemoglobin of people but not from printed colors? /per |

Per, It might be that you would prefer the colour saturation (and perhaps sharpness) less than the default. The FZ20 allows you to adjust this, and the FZ5 has "Picture adjust" natural, standard, or vivid. I haven't been aware of any skin tone issues, but neither have I taken a lot of portraits!

Cheers, David Thanks David for the reply. Most test pics I have seen comparing the FZ20 and FZ5 indicates that the FZ5 has the better lens, apart from having a smaller aperture when zoomed out! This is in contradion with all sales propaganda, but maybe the larger lens of the FZ20 made it necessary to design it more complicated, not to loose even more quality? Would you know where I can find sample portrait pics, shot with natural, standard and vivid colors for comparison? I reckon the Standard Color Mode is default, maybe the Natural Color Mode could take the red face tone down a notch. Also, did you indicate that the FZ20 had better or worse possibilities to adjust color tones than the FZ5? On this page, all portraits look like the models are blushing: http://www.panasonic.co.jp/pavc/glob...odels/fz5.html /per |

This is in contradion with all sales propaganda, but maybe the larger lens of the FZ20 made it necessary to design it more complicated, not to loose even more quality? My own very limited tests show very similar results from the two cameras, the only difference being the slightly wider maximum aperture as you say. Would you know where I can find sample portrait pics, shot with natural, standard and vivid colors for comparison? Sorry, no. I reckon the Standard Color Mode is default, maybe the Natural Color Mode could take the red face tone down a notch. Also, did you indicate that the FZ20 had better or worse possibilities to adjust color tones than the FZ5? On this page, all portraits look like the models are blushing: http://www.panasonic.co.jp/pavc/glob...odels/fz5.html /per "Standard" is indeed the default on the FZ5. It sounds as if "Natural" would suit you better. I think that the FZ20 may have more individual adjust possibilities than the FZ5. Yes, I just checked, individual control of contrast, saturation, sharpness and noise reduction. Cheers, David |
