Hi John, the accessory parts mentioned are available to order from any of our authorised Retailers, although both are currently on backorder. We are happy to provide an ETA for the customer if you can confirm that they’ve placed an order for them and with who.

Thank you for your feedback in relation to the LCD, we will work to improve this with future models. The current FZ200 camera does have an articulated LCD screen however only 24x optical zoom.

As for the accessories such as the DMW-LC55 close-up enhancement and the essential lens adapter DMW-LA8, well, where are they? No one seems able to obtain them.

These problems aside, the camera has a major design flaw – the LED display panel doesn’t hinge out up or down! For me this renders many of those side on macro shots impractical…and as for celestial photography – try mounting it on a tripod and using it to view an object more that 70 degrees above the horizon. Had I know of this strange omission, I would never have bought this camera!
