Looks like i will have to use the DNG converter at the moment,then look into if the latest Elements will handle the raw files.

Shut up

Some decisions have been made i dont need full frame,i could easily want it but thats a different story,the D7200 was only ever a vague possibility ime tempted to wait for the next one,the P900 is next on my purchase list when stock finally becomes available.

My wife has the Fuji hs30 or something like that but its so slow(crap) the new camera will become hers when i get the P900.

Good 1st shots Mike, had to look twice at the zoom shot of the red car, where it was on the 1st picture, that is a very good zoom, and still clear.

Thanks Paul,its exactly what you shouldn't do with a super zoom though,there best use is closer in to give a decent image size with a small subject,hoping the wind drops tomorrow and i can find some butterfly's.

Exactly! I was going to suggest taking a walk up to the VW might yield better results, before I saw the quote above.
good luck with it Mike. Can't wait to see some BIF shots with it. Can it do C focus ?

The FZ-72 is an awesome camera.
We sell them in the shop and they are proving to be very popular.
And so is the Nikon p900 for that matter
