Murgat Posted September 16, 2013 #176 Share Posted September 16, 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: I am planning to buy the FZ200, having decided I will find the 24x zoom all I need for most occasions. I would be interested in the conversion lens for birding. How easy was it to attach and use? Did you need a tripod when the extender was attached? Thank you to you (and Dileep) for your helpful posts while I was making up my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c230k Posted September 22, 2013 Author #178 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I am planning to buy the FZ200, having decided I will find the 24x zoom all I need for most occasions. I would be interested in the conversion lens for birding. How easy was it to attach and use? Did you need a tripod when the extender was attached? Thank you to you (and Dileep) for your helpful posts while I was making up my mind. You need the adapter DMW-LA7 and the DMT- LT55 1.7x lens. About all I can say is that it works well, with or without changing the setting in the camera to conversion lens. Mostly screwing it on, like you would a filter, great for shooting images of wildlife that are a long ways off. It is impressive what this camera allows you to capture with that lens zoomed in at around 1100mm handheld. Even more impressive when you put it on a tripod and use a remote shutter release with the right settings. Requires Lens Adaptor (DMW-LA7) for attachment. Look here for addition info. http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMW-LT55-Conversion-Digital-Cameras/dp/B000F6Y686/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1379855589&sr=1-1&keywords=dmw-lt55+tele+conversion+lens check B&H for a good price.

C 2 C Posted September 28, 2013 #180 Share Posted September 28, 2013 How would it compare to Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c230k Posted September 29, 2013 Author #181 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have the Sony RX100, great pocket camera and takes great pictures. Here is a comparison between the FZ200, Rx100 and Rx100II from ddpreview.com hope that helps. Still like the FZ200 for it's range and fast lens. http://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/side-by-side?products=panasonic_dmcfz200&products=sony_dscrx100m2&products=sony_dscrx100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawks11 Posted October 26, 2013 #184 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Graham Houghton has compiled a lot of information which I am trying to get to grips with. I have always used the easy option when taking photos and am usually pleased. Clearly it takes a bit of practice. Not this weekend though as we have some bad weather arriving from across the Atlantic for the weekend, although you acn try out the camera settings indoors to get the hang of it.

Hawks11 Posted October 26, 2013 #185 Share Posted October 26, 2013 from Graham Houghton I tried following the card for the camera settings and reverted to the video with a few notes of my own and that works a little easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c230k Posted October 29, 2013 Author #187 Share Posted October 29, 2013 from Graham Houghton THANKS Enjoy all his videos, he sure loves the FZ200 as you do with your great pics and videos. Here are some of Graham's FZ200 tips, PDF files to read http://grahamhoughton.jimdo.com/download-section/ Keeping my FZ200, but also bought the Sony HX300, wanted the extended range to 1200mm to take wildlife pictures. Sure beats carrying DLSR and some long lenses lol. Tom :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
