Panasonic FZ50 9 August 2006 7:56 pm

Thanks for the FZ50 samples -- the first I've seen apart fom those on the Panasonic jp site. Thanks, because having been tempted by the range of specs on paper there's now no way I'm buying this camera. Instead I'll be rushing out to get one of the last FZ30s while they're still around. The reason: like (some) others I'm dismayed by the crude results of the noise elimination and the way it smudges (a kind word for what's going on) detail. Wet, impressionistic, painting-like ... it's horrible. I've spent much of the day looking at FZ30 images and infinitely prefer them. I'll be happy to pay £150 less and fix the noise myself -- if it's necessary!

In the course of reading up on the FZ range I've come across a great deal about the noise problem, along with speculation about how Panasonic might fix it with the FZ50. Dismal is the answer. Poor Leica!
