I am constantly experimenting with my cameras, trying to determine what they can and cannot do.
This AM I noticed the watertower behind the trees being illuminated by the sun, and I thought it might make an interesting picture if I could get the watertower in focus and somewhat blur the trees in the foreground.
That's when the trouble began.
I unholstered my FZ200 and aimed at the watertower. The watertower was virtually invisible in the electronic viewfinder, even thought it is a pretty nice one with lots of resolution. I could see the watertower fine through the optical viewfinder of the G12.
So I went outside and took a photo with each camera.
Here is the result from the FZ200:
and here is the result from the G12:
To my eye, the G12 clearly "sees" the watertower better than the FZ200.
DXO says the FZ200 has color depth of 19.1 bits while the G12 has color depth of 20.4 bits. Is that the reason the watertower pops more in the G12 picture or is something else going on?
Cheers, Jock
