fz1000

[Sully]

Because I have been super good this year ... Santa came a little early















Purchased from Ted's Cameras. $900
Have set the camera up for back button focus ... may have to allocate a different button as it is a little far for my thumb to stretch comfortably. It is quite a bit heavier than the fz200 (which I am still keeping) and the battery life is shorter. The izoom function works a treat (skink shot) and gives a reach of up to 800mm.

Thanks very much Alan, Greg, Jo and Anna

Hunted high and low for this camera .... out of stock in most places (due to earthquake in Japan in April last year damaging 'factory' .... Ted's Camera Store had 10 of them in stock.

This morning in the garden ... straight out of the camera ... hand held ... aperture priority ... f/5.6 ... 800mm (equiv)

Found I've been using izoom all the time. FZ300 has it equivalent 1200mm.

haha ... there you go

I have never tried it with the fz200 ... may have to go back out in to the garden later on ...

it is very impressive indeed .. I googled and it is out of my price range but if I do have a win of some money, at least I know what camera to get lol.
