Hi all... I am going on safari soon and am thinking of getting a new camera for the trip. I have shortlisted two cameras and am finding it hard to choose between the two - the Canon SX50 and Panasonic FZ200. With the Canon cashback promotion, the SX50 is £100 cheaper than the FZ200.
Which would you choose out of the two?
Thanks in advance guys :)
 
24x zoom is too little i think... so out of these three is better.. Canon SX50, Fuji HS30 & Panasonic DMC-FZ72 please?
 
Thanks guys...i already have a samsung wb690 which has 18x zoom... so the FZ200 does not really have that much more zoom with 24x. That is holding me off getting the FZ200. There are lots of great pics taken with the SX50 for example online also it can't be that bad of a camera.

And i also put the wrong model number in my initial post... it is the Fuji HS50 and not the HS30 i was comparing.
 
but they are not uk based... so warranty is not with the manufacturer but with the company. Also if it is stopped by customs on delivery.. i might have to also pay for the tax on it. So that put me off using digitalrev, slrhut or other such grey importers.
 
From the Digitalrev website:

"When ordering goods from DigitalRev Limited, overseas deliveries may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you, unless an Import Handling Charge is included in the price of the goods"

So there are 4 people in here who all have a working knowledge of photography, its associated hardware and its application, who are advising to go one way yet you seem to be choosing the other.

Why even bother asking in the 1st place? :confused:

i am weighing up all the arguments.. for and against.
 
The Fuji HS50-EXR seems to be getting very good reviews.. how does that compare to the FZ200?

damn this is hard... can't decide between the Panasonic FZ200 or the Fuji HS50. Tried both in Jessops.. the manual zoom the HS50 is great.
