now i am confused. after again checking the Pics quality of FZ510 vs HX100V.

also now i am checking "external mic capability"



Panasonic DMC-FZ150 built-in mic x external mic DMW-MS1 (PSH/1080P) - YouTube

that's a HUGE difference! :shock:

Lol I didn't knew you were looking for bridge camera as well.

In the long run, Fz150 is a better option for the following reasons.

  • If you look at Sony's product history, they churn out new models of their cybershot range faster than other Brands, and discontinue older models at the same rate. After a while, finding accessories/ spares for them is a big headache.
  • If you look at Panasonic, they have been conservative when it comes to new models, but they support their current/archived models better than Sony. You can still find numerous accessories for the age old Fz18 too. The range of accessories available for Lumix Fz series is unbeatable by any P&S camera and it shares a lot of SLR accessories too, so if you happen to move to DSLR, you don't have to throw away your FZ's accessories.
  • If you're so particular about high optical zoom, you can buy the extra zoom lens for Fz150 later, something like this >> Panasonic DMW-LT55 - Telephoto Lens - Overview
In short,

HX100v >> For those who are looking at a user friendly no frills super zoom P&S

Fz150 >> For enthusiasts who want to experiment with different setups and want to experiment a lot of SLR accessories without burning a hole in your pocket, and lasts longer with good third party support.

If good video settings & mic support is what you're looking at, then see this

^^ Bro, it is available at 22.5K in infibeam and 22K at zoomin.

I guess u din't want to buy online.

Anyways, enjoy the cam and post your experiences. I am intersted in indoor/low-light pics and the color reproduction. It seems you should use custom white balance in such scenarios to get the colors accurate.
