thanks sir vic. i see that the fz50 is not a dslr after all. i had my eye on a similar product a few years ago (it was a nikon). ang galing mo appreciation lang
anyhow, i also have my eye on the d70 but darn the lenses cost a lot MORE than the body! haha.

the fz50 acts like a true dslr also, what i liked was the zoom lens 35-420mm so practically covered na yung lens requirement ko, then the lcd which swivels to let you take pictures above and under a subject w/o reclining very low as with dslr, so you are at a good vantage for correct and good composition, the manual focus has two rotating rings for control. i could not ask any better except its noise at low light situations which i hope could be addressed anytime soon, if that happens, what more could you ask?
thanks again for the appreciation
