Since the delivery of the LX100, I have been shooting mostly with it. Warmer weather, however, means longer walks, and I find myself most often now reaching for the FZ200 because of its astonishing versatility.
Above and below are some samples from yesterday at Peebles Island.
The versatility of the FZ200 is very impressive!
I'm completely with you that on longer walks you'd want something that covers all cases. You never know what you're going to see. And I like how you mix up wide shots with more impressionisic "close-ups".
What's interesting (and I have almost made peace with it now) is how differently the camera sensors sees things compared to the eye. My eye was seeing the mist clearly . . . the camera, hardly at all but I still liked the result. One morning, the dew on the leaves looked like little sparkling diamonds, pinpoints of light, but the camera wasn't seeing it that way at all; the frame it captured was lifeless in comparison.
The guys who really know what they are doing apparently have a pretty good idea of what they are going to capture when they trip the shutter . . . I wonder what that's like . . .
