Panasonic FZ50 beats the DSLRs (again!)
The DSLR devotees and worshipers of EOS will not be pleased about this. Faced with the need for silence but having instructions to capture the ceremony ruled out using a DSLR with their quaint clatter as a spring loaded mirror comes to a shuddering halt against hard rubber stops and the equally noisy “clack” of their shutters… Instead I used one of my Panasonic FZ50 "santa's little helper" cameras in stealth mode. No mirror to slap, no vibrations to blur the shot. No need for high shutter speed = high ISO… None of that stuff but perfect pictures none the less! http://www.douglasjames.com.au/panasonic-perfect.htm Douglas -- If you don't defend your rights... You end up without any! |

That there is no one camera that meets evry photogaphic need. Well, Welcome to the world of reality there sunshine! Glad to see your light bulb finally got screwed in! Now tell me, did you figure this out all on your own or did you use Google? |

Nice enough looking image, for 640 x 420 size. But I agree about the silent part, I wish Sony had kept the R1 going and incorporated IS because it was silent and had a good sensor, unlike most P&Ss. |

No need for high shutter speed = high ISO? None of that stuff but perfect pictures none the less! You are just too cheap to spring for a Leica, or any other real range finder camera. But then, any 2003 2MPix P&S can do that ... -Wolfgang |

I can't tell whether the midtones have a magenta cast as well. You're right - you can see it in the quarter-tones of the folds of the dress. And yes, nasty. It looks like Panasonic, in attempting to distance itself from the disasterous FZ30 by skipping the FZ40 and releasing the FZ50, failed to completely fix the colour problems that plagued the FZ30. |
