How does the camera feel around your neck is it heavy feeling? What is the weight? Would you consider this camera compact?

Compared to my Canon 300mm with doubler plus camera (about 5.5 lbs.) it's really lightweight, I think it's less than a pound. Not quite as good glass and resolution as the Canon setup at full zoom, but competitive. It's not compact like fit in a chest pocket, it would take a fair sized pocket like some jackets have.

With the heavy DSLR I tend to protect the camera by keeping a hand on it - it's just too risky to let it hang. It's comfortable, and I haven't had any issues with breakage, etc. The connection to the tripod screw is good and the metal is heavy. Honestly, I put my camera into my backpack until I think I'll need it. A heavy DSLR just looks expensive.

No idea about the specifics - I expect if you google the specs you will be able to get the weight. As far as use goes, it does feel pretty heavy and unbalanced until you get used to it - it didn't help that I was a bit frightened of it when first purchased - but now I love it and have taken some fantastic wildlife photos with it even though I'm not a very experienced photographer yet.

I have owned my 100-400 for 5 months now and I love it. I photograph wildlife and our Grandsons sporting events and use it 100% of the time. I must say that 95% of those pictures are taken using 400, however, it was nice to be able to zoom out for the 5%. The only time that I change a lens is for indoor use. So far it has been easy to use and produces very good quality photos. The only drawback at this point is that it is a little heavy so I purchased a shoulder strap to take the weight off my neck. My opinion is that if I had it to do over (purchase or not) that yes I would invest the money and purchase again. I have owned my 100-400 for 5 months now and I love it.

I'm not familiar with the weight of those cameras...I'm sure Google is BUT...I use it with my Sony FS700 and it's borderline. I need to fully extend the rear arm to help the balance and only with smaller lenses does it work. But even so, I still like it for the price. I usually use it with shorter lighter lenses so for me, it works.

It is definitely heavy -- feels like a lens that would be attached to a larger dslr -- but given the quality, I understand why it is so weighty. There is another lens that they offer that is a 200mm - not sure if the size/weight is the same, but if you need a long range quality lens, this one certainly is worth it. I definitely do use my 16-50mm on most days though.

It weighs 18 ounces. (1.1lb) It is considered heavy for a super zoom, but I don't find it heavy at all.

Um not sure about it weight. The quad itself is very lightweight. The package may have extra batteries and carries the remote control. My one ccc came with the camera as well. And the box writing the box. Summing up altogether it may get a little heavier.

Shutter lag is almost zero - one of the principle reasons I opted for the Panasonic brand. WYSIWYG results. The FZ50 fits this old SLR guy like a glove, and I don't have to carry multiple camera bodies around my neck. The Leica lens doesn't hurt either. However, I think if you are looking to shoot fast action sports there are better choices out there if multi-image features are important to you. This one camera has all my old equipment sitting dusty on a shelf somewhere...

you can look up the specks on it for weight, now you aint going to put it in your pocket, like those slinder cameras NOw it aint as heavy as some of those monster fancy cameras but for the money it is nice, do have wee problem focusing, video is nice, expanded side gives you a better grip on the camera. I did get 2 extra batteries and charger for $30 which allows a one and half hours of video. see my filmon youtube (donze52) to see this camera videos.

I've only taken one low light photo, and it turned out well. However, I still would not recommend this camera. It's heavy and not particularly user friendly.

No; I think the camera itself is about 8-10 oz tops; this is my assessment based on feel only, I don't have a scale to confirm. I can hold it in the palm of my hand.

No. I use it when traveling or need a lightweight camera. Otherwise I use a DSLR.

Don't know the actual weight, but it feels really light for the sturdiness that is has. Even with camera, 3 lenses and accessories it feels very light and comfortable.

I'm not sure on the weight but the viewing angle is standard not wide angle. I wear it on my chest and I need to back away from the person approximately 6 feet to get their head to their knees in the picture. Weight is probably around 15-20 grams like you said. Quality is pretty good for such a small camera. Only priblem is it will only take a 16gb memory card and battery needs to be charged for a few hours even when you dont use it. Hope this helps.

According to Canon's website, it weighs 112.5 oz. Thanks, and let us know if you have any other questions.

Melinda; my camera/plate are at the auto repair shop I use waiting for me to make an appointment have it installed in my truck. I can tell you that it's "heavy" that feeling of weight I associate with quality products. This is my second camera the first was a Christmas Gift couple years ago and I had my doubts about it from the beginning as it was flimsy and had very poor depth perception. Which is basically the reason for installing a camera! Quality is what you pay for in my experience.
