You said, "If I didn't have a DSLR, and if I didn't like shooting beyond 200mm and if I didn't love shooting macro and if I didn't need to shoot over ISO 1600 on a pretty regular basis, I just might buy this. It's amazingly good at what it does."
And it got me going through the same thought process. The facts: I frequently shoot at 600mm (even 1200mm with digital zoom, but the image quality is sketchy). I like cameras that are convenient to carry, so I carry the FZ200 most of the time, and it acquits itself pretty well.
So the question: If a fellow had a 24 megapixel APS-C dslr with a 300 mm lens (450mm equivalent), would he be able to digitally zoom to get similar reach to the FZ200 and get better image quality? In addition, I need to factor in that I recently "discovered" raw and that a little judicious post-processing can improve IQ.
All opinions are welcome, particularly those from folks with DSLRs.
Cheers, Jock
