Conclusion
Since the camera is not exactly new in the market, its street price has dropped down close to Rs. 20,000, which is an absolutely brilliant deal. With the amount of features and options, the FZ50 is an excellent enthusiast-level camera — perfect for someone who wants to improve his knowledge of photography, without getting into the high costs and maintenance that SLR cameras demand. Highly recommended to anyone who fits that category.
