Hawks11 Posted May 11, 2013 #127 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Correct. It may now be part of the free Windows Live install that is pre-installed on some Windows 7 computers. Windows has improved dramatically since I first started messing about with it and always avoided video but have had a few trials and now it does seem more interesting. I am currently reading as much as I can about FZ200, watching david Houghton on Y tube and taking few snaps. There seems a lot to learn but my efforts seem to look excellent. I must be pressing the right buttons. I am glad I found this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawks11 Posted May 24, 2013 #130 Share Posted May 24, 2013 In the video, a book is shown by Graham Houghton, "The Missing Manual Advanced User Guide". Does anyone know if this is just a prop or if such a book exists. I can't seem to find any books written for the DMC-FZ200.Anyone find a good book on the camera or is it too early for one? I saw that someone asked Graham Houghton the same question and he said it was his creation using Photoshop so the guide is on You Tube. There is no book. He does cover just about everything but the more research I do tends to make me inclined to do the basic and let the camera do the technical stuff. I will still have to find the subject. From my back garden I have views of a Church, Castle, Viaduct and, when the leaves are not on the trees a stately home and the Paeonies are starting to come out so no excuses really.

That's what I thought. But I had to ask. Too bad he doesn't write a book. I find it easier to read through a book to help teach me how to do things. The videos are good, but my memory is not what it used to be. I too will be relying on the auto aspects of my FZ200. Probably 90% will be taken in the auto mode. I will try to experiment a little. Big test is coming up in a little more than 3 weeks when we leave for Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luci Posted June 22, 2013 #137 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I have a question about the FZ 200. Target is selling this particular camera online and calling it the FZ 200 P. Would anyone know if there is a difference in these 2 cameras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacknShelby Posted June 29, 2013 #138 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I finally did it! After much deliberation I have finally ordered this camera. I hope to have it in a couple of weeks so I will have a couple of months to practice before our cruise to the Panama Canal. I will pop by once I have it and share a photo.

c230k Posted June 29, 2013 Author #141 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I have a question about the FZ 200. Target is selling this particular camera online and calling it the FZ 200 P. Would anyone know if there is a difference in these 2 cameras? Same name at Target. From what I have read it only means "color black" and is ok still the FZ200. Also have see FZ200K. You wll really enjoy this camera, use it more than I used my DLSR, think size and not changing the lens helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dltvermont Posted July 3, 2013 #146 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Another heads up (as Im thinking of the same camera) B&H Photo has the camera for $499 (shows $598 but changes in cart) or you can pay $529 and get a camera bag and extra SD card. Also have a $599 deal that has extra battery, tripod, service plan etc etc...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c230k Posted July 3, 2013 Author #147 Share Posted July 3, 2013 If you get the FZ200 also check out the DMW-LT55E tele conversion lens, goes out to 1020mm, for the price and the review, thought would give it a try for wildlife. I did buy it and for the money and picture output it's worth it. In Alasaka I needed that extra range for whale watching. Tom :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c230k Posted July 12, 2013 Author #150 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks Just bought the Panasonic ZS30, following your recommendation. Wanted a good compact camera and this camera as all the options. Like the fact can take a picture and send right to my Ipad. Of course will always keep the FZ200, GREAT CAMERA. Enjoy all your pictures you post. Tom :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
