I grabbed a Canon T5 plus 18-55 and 75-300 combo package and brought it home for head-to-head testing against the FZ200.
The T5 focuses like a lightning bolt -- super quick, noticeably quicker than the FZ200 (and I already reckoned the FZ200 to be decently fast).
But 80% of the time across a couple of dozen comparison shots, the T5 is not as sharp as the FZ200.

If you zoom in, you'll see that the T5 simply isn't as sharp, and that has proven to be the case whether it is grass across the field or the neighbor's wood pile.
Comments and suggestions are welcome. (Besides very quick autofocus, the T5 has less tendency to blow highlights than the FZ200).
Cheers, Jock
