Hi,
I've had P&S digicams for several years now and thinking of increasing my interest in photography, mostly portraits and landscapes. I initially considered a DSLR, but I think it doesn't match my wallet, and I am not sure if I want to lug all the equipment all the time.
As such, I am keen on either the Panasonic FZ20 or Konica A200, which I feel gives a lot of SLR-type features, albeit which some restrictions of the prosumer.
Could I have your comments on which might be a better bet? Most reviews I've read rate the FZ20 better than the A200, but I thought it might not be an apple to apple comparision because one if 5 vs. 8MP.
Also, as a Singaporean living in Thailand, I am not too familar with the latest prices for the A200 - can anyone also advice?
Thanks in advance.
