Question: What do I need to buy with this camera? I am thinking of buying this camera and was curious of what other must-have accessories i should make sure to get with this? Does it come with a battery and recharger for the battery?  Should I buy a case for it? Let me know!Thanks!
Document: this camera takes great pictures for travel and outdoors. If you intend to take family photo's indoors you will need a large room for group shots as it's 35-420 zoom. Having said that I am very happy with this camera and it's long list of functions. The software is better than some I've seen. The camera is easy to use right out of the box. Make sure you buy a memory card. The battery ahs a very long life but I bought a spare so I wouldn't be caught without my camera.
they turned out perfectly, totally awesome..I must also mention about the bokeh, FZ50 has a minimum of bokeh at tele end, therefore it gives you extra depth of field. I love this camera for its tele, at max 420mm at f3.7 it produces very sharp, contrasty images. Anyone who tries to buy that big lens at 400mm f3.5 you will pay an arm and a leg for DSLR use and you will need a pro tripod to hold it sturdy, but not on FZ50 i can shoot it handheld w/o any problem due to its OIS optical image stabilizer.I also add on the Raynox wide angle 0.72x adapter to it so i can get the range from 25mm to 420mm..What a range for anyone to have for everyday use.I also bought the 3rd party battery grip holder for it too, the grip holds 2 batts, i can shoot for a week or about 500 shots.Finally.
It's just that good, so well engineered, ergonomic, great menu system, many accessories available. Get yours while it lasts: Panasonic has said it will make no more in this FZ series.I won't try to compete with the reviewers with OCD who salivate over its technical characteristics. But you will feel good about owning this, believe me.Get an aftermarket extra battery (lots cheaper than Panasonic's) for those times when you want to capture wide screen video (Yaaaaa! and you can zoom while shooting) along with an SDHC category 6 memory card (for under $80 you can get 16GB cards now!!!!
This is the best camera I have ever owned, and I think this one is the perfect transition camera if you want to move onto a real SLR. The FZ-50 has a lot of functions you can control manually, which allow you to take some fantastic crisp pictures and the Mega OIS is a major plus.Any one who wants a lot or little manual control but great pictures, this is the camera for you. The sensors are not at par with SLR's which are twice or thrice as much in cost, but the Leica lenses wont let you down.All in all its a great buy, its very ergonomic as it is not as bulky as traditional SLR's fits nicely in the hand, and once you get to know all its intricacies its a fantastic toy.
You can get it a little cheaper elsewhere, but the hassle isn't worth it. I tried to order through another site, and ended up talking to a sales rep four or five times and fending off sales pitches...and then the camera went out of stock! I ended up buying it from Amazon, and I can tell you from experience that they have the best service all around.Also, if you have other photo-editing software, KEEP IT until you check out the packaged stuff. It's ok, but not great, and I was much more impressed with the program that came with my Canon S2.Finally, things you need for this camera:-At least one spare battery (I have two)-A memory card with at least 1GB of space (my 1GB card holds about 120 pictures taken at 10MPs, but more with less pixels.
Bought this FZ50 camera from Amazon last week at a good bargin price--477.00. And added some 1GB memory cards and an extra battery. All arrived intact. I've had a Panasonic FZ10 for a few years and it still works perfectly. The FZ series has moved on to the FZ20 and the FZ30--and by the time I got around to thinking of buying a new model, the FZ50 came alone. Recent price made me jump, partly for concern that the model could be discontinued for the next new thing.Having now seen some 90 (so far) digital image from a FZ50 for myself, the noise issue simply isn't there for images shot during daylight at lower ASA sensitivities (100, maybe 200).
It fits nicely in my hands with the controls & menus easily accessed. Oh by the way you can add audio to the pictures when you take them or after you decide to keep a picture. That's a cool feature because I can take a picture make comments about the scence or subject so later when I'm reviewing them I know exaclty what I was thinking. If you are just learning to take pics like me, it's good to remind yourself what ISO or f/stop or focal length or shutter speed etc was used.
Well, i have just purchased the Panasonic FZ50 for about 3 weeks now, after about 600 test shots with it i have come to a conclusion that this FZ50 is by far the best FZ i've ever own. I have owned FZ7, FZ10, FZ15, FZ20(2), FZ30 and now FZ50. No surprise to me, this FZ50 IS out do the rest of its family, by far as image quality, FZ50 gives almost perfect pictures, the sharpness from its Leica lens is amazingly sharp, full of details contrast, full of depth of field, im very pleased with it..I must say its got some noise from iso 100 to 800, but i know it before hand, so now i use noise reduction software to remove it afterward easily..i think most all point and shoot cameras do have noise issue, so this is no exception.I have put it thru the iso tests, i shot at all iso setting from 100-1600, the results were very pleased, from iso 800 i can see noise creeping in, then comes iso 1600 it shows even more, but both can be a quick fix to me..both were usable images.Now!, comes the colors, i think FZ50 has a bluish cast to all images, but FZ50 has a custom white balance 1 and 2, so i usetilized that by set a custom w/b 1 for the outdoors and 2 for indoor w/o flash.
Great camera and just to let others know:  The Olympus FL36 external flash performs perfectly with TTL metering with the FZ50. I had to do a lot of searching before I found a compatible flash without paying Panasonic's high price. (I think this flash is made by the same people that make Panasonic FL360! )I purchased the Flash from Amazon, cheaper elsewhere, but I like Amazon's service! (No, I don't work for Amazon!)
I got the camera for Christmas thinking it would be all that I needed to shoot action shots at my son's basketball games. So far they are mostly blurry and nothing Sports Illus. would be interested in. I don't know what I am doing wrong and have read the manual backwards and forwards a half a dozen times. I need help! Anyone with tips on how to shoot indoor, action shots please email me Darren967@aol.comThank you!
Answer: It ships with a battery and a charger. However, it only ships with a meagre 32MB SD card. You need to buy a good quality, fast memory card (try a 4GB SDHC professional type from Amazon, I am using it with a 4GB Lexar Platinium II 60x) The extra size will come handy for videos and RAW format. Also a must is a 55mm UV filter that would physically protect the lenses. Another must -in my opinion is a 55mm CPOL -Circular Polarizer- filter (sometimes you can buy as a kit, a UV and a CPOL filter kit, 55mm thread. A case is also a must. You can always buy a back up second battery, lots of good third party units are there on Amazon for just above $10.  Another good thing is to buy a 2.5" LCD  screen protector (film that adheres to your LCD and protects it against scratches). These are the basics / essentials, all for less than $100. Good shooting with your new camera.
