I couldn't be more dissapointed. The ISO 200 pictures (see the forest background) seem like a watercolor paint. The same for the man trousers. I own an Oly-8080 (2/3" sensor, 8 MP) still with a decent ISO 50-400 range. It is a pity to see how the manufactures who aren't still able to improve the sensor performance, simply package more pixels... more *theoretical* pixels, because if you downsize the 10 megapixel ISO 400 picture down to 2 Megapixel, it is still bellow the 100 ISO counterpart in resolution terms. Needless to say that ISO 400-1600 pictures colour saturation is really poor (see the red areas, for example). In fact, even ISO 200 starts to decrease the colour saturation. It is impossible to reduce the chroma noise without afecting the colour information, were it venus III or venus XXX engine. I repeat... a disaster of camera. Even at ISO 100 the image is similar to Canon 350 at ISO 1600... Please Panasonic, why not a 4 *GOOD* megapixel camera? I saw pretty good FZ-10 pictures. That was a tiny sensor camera... FZ-50 sensor is bigger, and most persons which are each day far away from buying a FZ-xx would have changed their opinion if the image quality were improved (not destroyed) since FZ-10 times. I'm about to cry...
