Having posted a question for users views on Panasonic bridge cameras and their capabilities for taking pics of moving subjects, namely our young pup Mabel, I actually ended up buying an old Nikon D80. I thought I'd post a pic of her (I know she's not moving) mainly to show that despite it's age...

Just a quick update on this. After a few weeks chopping & changing my mind, I picked up an old Nikon D80. It still delivers the goods...

That's good to hear. I've spent an hour or two looking at different options and keep coming back to the fz's. I'm even considering upping my budget and going for the 1000. The issue I have is having shot professionally with full frame Nikons, I'll end up comparing the results to those :D. With...

Can anyone tell me if the Panasonic FZ330 can cope with quick moving objects, namely an 8mth old pup ? I seem to be reading mixed reviews on the web...

Thanks both. As per my opening post, I haven't totally ruled out an older crop and funnily enough had thought of something like a D80. A mate uses Canon so was even weighing up a 40/50d. I'd also come across some old images on my pc of the kids that looked really nice as far as colours and...

I'm no longer prepared to spend several hundred on camera gear so £200-£300 is the max budget. That puts both the 200 & 300 in the ring. How does the depth of field compare to a crop DSLR ?

Seen it. I'm after TP users views pretty please :D

I'm looking for opinions on the Panasonic fz200 from past or current owners. Mainly on image quality in daylight for every day use. We have an 8 month old pup and looking to grab some decent images of her. I know it's getting on a bit but I came across it by chance while weighing up options...

Where did you buy the LM thumbgrip if you don't mind me asking ? UK supplier ?

For those that have it/used it, what's the bokeh like on the 18-55 @ 55mm ?

I definitely think you go through phases with differing focal lengths. 35mm might take your fancy for a few months then you may try a 50mm and prefer that for a while then onto 85mm and so on etc and then back to 35mm. Being an ex-wedding shooter coming from Nikon I simply want a simple set-up...

I think I might give it a try as I'm initially after a combo as slim as possible. So it's either an X-E2, XT-10 or I go fixed with an X100s :)

Any particular reason ? What about the 18mm f2 ?

I'm now looking into maybe an X-E2 (not the "s") with the 27mm. Anyone use this combo ? I should maybe post this question in the X-E2 owners thread although I know there seems to be a fair bit of crossover....

What combo are those shot with ?
