upgrade of fz1
addition of hotshoe, manual functions and 4 MP
other than that...it's a fz1
problems with fz1
digital noise even at ISO100 and ISO200
low sensitivity to light although F2.8
AF is slow and inaccurate unless in very good lighting
pic quality suffers at 12x zoom
funny pic quality when taking pics at 12x zoom under cloudy
skies
lack of an eye cup makes it a pain when taking pics under direct
sunlight
positive points
burst mode sibei fast
shot to shot lag minimal,except pics taken on night scene
mode
pretty good macro performance ( a contradictory to the 12x
zoom)
includes a lens hood, effective...
