Canon and Panasonic
Dec 10, 2012 06:13:51 #
I have aCanon 60d which I think is the bees knees I have several lens ie 18-55 55-250mm both canon, also I have just recently purchased the Tamron 18-270mm, this lens is amazing giving wonderful sharp pictures. However I also have a Panasonic fz48 , I find this camera amazing the zoom is amazing I have to say I'm using this camera for day to day outings , it is light easy to handle really good lens on it, I use my Canon for really sharp shots and portraits .
I don't know if anyone else has either of these cameras I would appreciate your feed back and what you think their merits are. Alan

Although I do not have the exact same cameras as you I do have a Canon 7D and a Panasonic FZ200. And like you when I want to grab a camera for fun shooting it has been the Panasonic and I havent been disappointed with the image quality it produced. I recognize the limitations and qualities of each of my cameras and enjoy using both of them. :-)

That 24X optical zoom will get you close on distant objects. Great camera to play with. The 7D will certainly do the job for portraits!

I also have the Canon 60D with an asortment of lenses that I use for almost everything. But I have a Nikon P500 bridge cam that I keep in the car and sometimes use for mobile video stuff that crops up. My older Panasonic Lumix FZ-7 bridge I keep in the tour pac of my motorcycle. It's a great little cam and doesn't take up a lot of valuable space.

One thing the Panasonic is half the weight or more and half the cost, plus you can use the Canon lens. I have a Canon Mark II which I really like, but the salesman at the camera shop was showing me the Panasonic and I was impressed. Bee

The highest merits of everything you mention is CONVENIENCE and not ultimate IQ.

What you mention is convienient, lower priced and you like it -and that is a great thing ! Just realize, speaking of strictly IQ, these are all at or near the bottom of the ladder in the bigger scheme of things.

I've had a 60D since they came out. I've been using a 24-105L which is very good. One problem, the lens manually extends when carried. I found a big rubber band at B & H which goes on the zoom ring and that helps. I'd like to hear more about the FZ, I currently have a G12, great camera, but short zoom.

So the OP wanted to know about strengths and weaknesses of the mentioned cameras/lenses and I gave it to him....
