into their prosumer series....

would the FZ series be able to put up a gd fight against entry DSLRs? Considering the range offered at the expense of quality

if the sensor size increase, the lens will not fit... :nono:
that is why dSLR/SLR lens are so huge (f2.8)

so does that mean that pana are already more or less at their max sensor size?

nope, they can get any sensor size they want, but the bigger it is the more compromise it will be on the lens.. eg. no more constant f2.8 on 12x zoom... etc
 

dream prosumer for me

leica lense
pana build
pana mega O.I.S
fuji super CCD latest gen
fuji user controls
AA batts

12X zoom below $800

hahah but its a dream though:cry:

the main drawback for the pana is their noise i believe, one reason why i am getting a 6500 instead.but doesnt deter the fact that their prosumers are:thumbsup:
 

They have to improve on the shutter lag if they are to go anywhere near a DSLR. The lag was one big factor why I switched from FZ50 to D80.
 

Why does FZ18 uses a larger lens but still same old small sensor?

I used to think a large sensor demands large lens..

where did you get the fact that fz18 use a larger lens? even if it is larger, by how much? 1mm? :dunno:
yes talking about physical diameter and not focal length

yes mentioned in some news saying the lens diameter is larger than FZ5/6/7/8..

well, do note about fz18 focal length.... it got 18x zoom and not 12x like the others afterall. and also the lens ain't much bigger IF it is really bigger
 

Fujifilm sensor + Panasonic lens = ultimate prosumer
Hehe...



Dslr aside. pana has the biggest sensor in the compact range.

Their cult camera LX2 sensor's - 1/1.65 ". Check Canon's G9 or even Nikon 5000 theirs is only 1/1.8 ".

Fuji cameras 1/1.6 " difference is minor but than compare the body size.
