If someone has both a FZ28/35 and a Canon T1i/T2i (50D,550D) how does the picture quality compare to a Canon T1i in outdoor and indoor low light situations?
And the picture and exposure adjustments in the FZ35 camera, do they only work in JPG mode? I tried finding it in the manual but couldn't find any conclusive evidence of this. |

One way to find out on the FZ35 - take both RAW and JPEG - and "drastically" change the settings (all at -2 then another set at +2). Then compare the RAW files and see if they are different.

Thank you, did that. No camera adjustments at all in RAW, settings can be anything but its consistent with RAW in the middle.

I had FZ 38 and now i have t2i, one of them is high end bridge camera (fz38) and the other is DSLR. t2i is definetely better in indoors, low light conditions without flash and with higher ISO settings. You can get nearly same noise with ISO 800 at FZ 38 and with ISO 3200 with t2i. t2i has higher and better ISO capacity with less noise.
Outdoor photos i am not sure but i would go with t2i for outdoors and daylight photos. |

Thank you imut. I want a dslr but I don't think I'm ready for it and definitely don't want to be lugging one around. Maybe in a year or 2 when the fz35 doesn't do it for me anymore.. but honestly what made you upgrade? And since the fz35 has a beautiful zoom capability and image quality, which lens did you end up getting?

jake-
I have owned the FZ-18/FZ-28/FZ-35 and the Canon T-1i and the Sony A-500. Any DSLR particularly those two can wipe the floor when compared to a FZ-35. I have shot for years with the FZ series cameras. An ISO setting is top of the shop (as far as they wil go without having to resort to noise canceling software. Look at the attached shot taken today indoors, without flash, with my Sony A-500 at an ISO setting of 1600. No FZ series cameras can do that. Why. you might ask? it is all a function of imager size. The DSLR imagers are 15X to 20X larger than the FZ-series cameras. http://anchorse.smugmug.com/Other/So...9_Hr9r6-X3.jpg Sarah Joyce |

Thank you Sarah, it has me thinking if I should upgrade now or later.. I'm still thinking later because I don't want it to become a paper weight. I'd rather see if I stick with photography long term if it makes any sense but you've just demonstrated where the fz-35 just won't measure up so I can definitely upgrade to another level.
Which lens do you prefer that gives you very good image quality, low light capability and zoom? As you can probably tell from my posts.. I like shooting landscapes, abstract things, occasionally people outdoors or indoors in say a low lit restaurant. Is there 1 lens that will do it all? And do you prefer the Canon over the Sony or vice versa? That picture came out beautiful at iso 1600. Almost all iso 1600 I've seen from non dslr's are packed with noise. I likely don't have the money to splurge right now but would like some information for later on. Jake |

Honestly you should know that if you would go with DSLR you would spend money for equipment. This is inevitable. Please see my beginner level equipment |

For zoom you should consider telephoto lenses if focal lenght goes up zoom would go up, for instance 18-300mm has higher zoom capacity over 18-200 mm. Quote:

There are also some cameras like k-x which is the cheaper entry level and has very good low light capacity. Last edited by imut; Sep 25, 2010 at 11:09 PM. |
