Is this compatible with the new Panasonic Lumix fz200? From the reviews I see that it DOES work with the older model, fz150. Edit: I ended up buying it...and it works! As the other reviews state, the for the cord, the straight end goes into the wireless remote shutter and the 90 degree bent end goes into the camera. A great purchase!

I have tried it numerous times with my FZ200 and can't get it to work. If you did, please let me know what I need to do.

I would be interested to know this as well as I just ordered the FZ200. I am going to go ahead and assume it does since it works with FZ150 and order one. If it works, I'll let you know. If not, hopefully I can return it!

I keep looking to see if there is a press release on an update to the FZ100, but so far nothing. I expected it to be updated on the 21 July, as Panasonic have released new FZ series cameras on that date each year. The FZ100 and FZ40/45 were both released on that date last year, however on the 21st they only released an updated version of the FZ40/45 namely the FZ47/48. No mention of the FZ100, or as I have seen speculated elsewhere could be called the FZ150 or FZ200. If the store you looked at showed the model as discontinued, it may indicate something is about to happen, but not just yet.

I used it on a D610. Plug one my first on broke when my kid twisted my camera. It worked really well before that. I then bought a second one and it quit working. It would focus the camera but not trigger the shutter. I confirmed this with a friend's D600. I sent it back to Rainbowimaging and waited... They did send me a new one and the replacement does work, but for my needs of just long exposures I'm going with a single button (with lock) dumb trigger.

Thanks SFer!I agree 1000%! I was planning on purchasing another Panasonic battery so that I have one on standby, but I can't find the Panasonic one, and I can't tell which other one to buy. Every time I think I found it, I read reviews on it and people say not to buy it because it's not compatible. It's really confusing. Fortunately for Panasonic, I really LOVE the camera and can't wait to get my hands on it.Thanks for the list of what's included. You're right about that too... no list anywhere to be found. What's up with that??I'll go to Panasonic and download the PDF file you mentioned.Thanks! Thanks SFer!I agree 1000%!

From the write-up on the timer: NOTE: Cann't Be Compatible with 7D Pentax (Replacement for CS-205)...I don't know whether this has anything to do with the Canon 7D or not. I bought it because it specifically said it was compatible with the Canon G-11. There was another a little cheaper that probably would have worked, but it did not include the G-11 specifically, so I didn't take the chance. I did get the feeling that for many of these devices that compatibility really related to the attaching plug. I don't know if I am correct or not, but I suspect if the camera has a port that accepts the plug on the timer that it ought to work.

This remote works perfectly with my Lumix G3. I don't know what Panasonic camera you have, so can't tell you if it will work. I expect this remote will work for you if your camera is one of the cameras listed as compatible in the description.

Gabor,Yes it will work with the FZ200. It snaps on so it will fit any lens from 49mm to 67mm. I have the FZ150 and it works perfectly. The lens is very good, especially for the price. If you use it with a teleconverter long lens you will need to use a focusing rail to keep the image steady.Rich

I own the fz150 and it is my understanding that it does work with the fz200.

(Reply to Rachel's post):This was my question exactly.. I like it's features but am reluctant to buy it because it says it's only for specific cameras. What makes it compatible with those but not other brands/models? (specifically please, from someone who knows for sure) There has to be a reason why it's listed as only for those cameras, and I'd like to know what it is..

I use mine with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS19. It is also compatible with DMC-TZ30/TZ31/ZS20/TZ27 models. Mine has been down to 95' on dives.I have also used it for shallow water shots and videos when fishing.

Very bad in my experience with it. It's a good camera outdoors, especially on sunny days. Indoors, the combo of the long zoom and small sensor make for dark pics and/or blurry pics. Almost all cameras are trade-offs. This one's trade0offs were not for me. The FZ150 is a much better camera and the FZ200 is probably better yet. The FZ200 is expensive, so not a truly fail comparison. It is also bigger.The best compact in the world right now (my belief and that of many others) has a 3 -4 x zoom and a 1" sensor and costs $650 --- the Sony RX100. It's the same size as the ZS15 or maybe even a bit smaller. I wish it were cheaper !!! :-). Very bad in my experience with it. It's a good camera outdoors, especially on sunny days.

It worked with DMC-FZ20. Please check the manual or images of this model to verify the remote shutter female plug point and compare with your camera. Good luck!

Will the Panasonic DMW-LW46 Wide Conversion Lens work with the DMC-FZ35 camera? If not, forget it, given how very expensive a lens (any given type) can be. (DMC-FZ35 is a 'less-wide' 27 mm, not 24 mm as the DMC-LX3, if that helps any--does 'wideness' affect the camera's ability to 'accept' the lens?) (Note this is a new reply, not an answer to H. M. Harvey's post, so now both these questions need answered.)

I used this flash for lumix fz1000 which is the latest from Panasonic. This flash should be compatible with your camera. The best thingto do is bring your camera to a dealer and try this flash if they have an open box.

First off, the FZ200 is NOT a DSLR. You cannot change the lens. It is called a "bridge camera." The lens that is built into the camera is a Leica 25mm-600mm constant f2.8 aperture lens. That is about as much lens as most people ever need.I just use the builtin flash. Panasonic makes several flashes, but the cost almost as much as the camera. If I need an external flash, I use my Canon 40D DSLR and its EX58o external flash.I realize this doesn't help you, but with the f2.8 lens you "might" not really need to buy an external flash. If you do, I'd buy one that Panasonic makes for the FZ200. I have no experience with any of them. Sorry... First off, the FZ200 is NOT a DSLR. You cannot change the lens.

I'm not sure if the lumix fz200 allows for external mic input capabilities. If it has an external mic input that's a mini jack, then you should be able to use it. I'm not familiar with the lumix, but if it doesn't have a hot/cold shoe mount, then you'll need to rig a mounting location for the mic. Good luck!

Late to respond, but my previous camera was a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ18, a point and shoot camera which I thought took outstanding pictures...until I bought the DMC-FZ150. Holy cow! What a jump in performance that even an unsavvy enthusiast like myself can actually use. I am, however, shocked by the price increase. I had to buy it online because it wasn't available locally but with the reviews and my past experience with Panasonic, I took a deep breath and did it, purchasing it through Amazon for $439 in early April 2012. I consider it top echelon of the "amateur" use cameras.
