So I have enough cameras which, when taken into account the DSLRs and lesns I have, and I'm left with these two oddballs... but highly flexible machines.
Leica V Lux 1
Panasonic FZ200
Quality wise, I'm not even totally sure that the newer FZ200 is better than the Leica image quality wise (maybe as the leica has a bigger sensor) despite the 10 years in technology advancements in small sensors.. - and it is mooch nicer to see, being of the era of manual zooms, and focus rings, and built nicer - even though it is over 10 years old, apart form the video side of things an speed of RAW, its not bad. Its a nice one to have.
Now the FZ200 - extremely compact and has a fantastic 2.8 lens - very quick focus, very quick shot to shot - indeed, faster than my 600D! Extra zoom is useful, video is great. - but thats about it. Can someone give me a few pointers? I have got to the point where I have too much equipments, meaning that I never use certain things... next to go will be the Leica X1 I think.
I've got some amazing shots on both.. but the DSLR always comes out top choice, this is maybe when its a day out, or sometimes when I just want a step back and not to carry a few kilos and look so peeping top esque with my 100-400.
Anyone throw any salt into the mix, or maybe other real life users?
