Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 User Manual page 57

To illustrate just how good the iA and iA+ modes can be I have included,
by kind permission, some images by Peter Sheppard from New Zealand
who uses the FZ200 extensively on his travels. Please check out his
work: http://flickr.com/peteshep/sets
In the following images you can see the richly saturated colors, yet
retaining good flesh tones, detailed shadows in the very bright side-
lighting and little highlight loss on the specula reflections from the metal.

Peter explained his choice of the FZ200:
Travel photography needs a robust, compact, and flexible-in-use camera.
Loose lenses rolling down the mountainside or letting dust onto sensors,
clumsy weak tripods, etc, are out of the question to me. You'll see in the
shots, faces, sunny landscapes, dark monastery interiors. The f2.8
zooming 25mm to 600mm, with an excellent stabilizer, handled them all in
a single compact camera. Using the iA background de-focus mode
allowed me to set DOF, as needed, and it allowed "point and shoot" for
sophisticated results!
