No removal tool in playback mode

The FZ200 is expensive
Especially if all you're after is a long zoom lens. It doesn't have built-in GPS or Wi-Fi
Or a proximity sensor for switching from the LCD to EVF. The SD card slot and battery compartment can't be accessed when the camera is on a
Expensive. Rear LCD could be sharper. Not the longest zoom in class. No GPS
The camera's design makes it impossible to access the battery and SD card slots when you're using a tripod.
The image quality of this camera is quite imoressive, thanks to its new feature which is ‘world's first' constant f/2.8 aperture that runs throughout the entire focal range from 25mm to 600mm, allowing you to use faster shutter speeds and lower ISO setti...
Abstract: With high framerate video and spot-on exposure abilities, the FZ200 zooms ahead of its rivalsIt's priced like a quality production, and fortunately the Panasonic FZ200 feels like one too. Despite the smallest zoom in the gaggle of superzooms we've tested ...
The biggest advantage that DSLRs have over digital cameras is the sensor that's more than thrice as large. This helps capture almost noise-free images at up to ISO 800 along with larger optics that yields excellent background blur; the quality of photos...
Sublime picture quality, Built well, Movable display
Video not so good
If you want a superzoom cam then, we'd recommend the Lumix FZ200 which wipes the floor with rival snoopy snappers. A small and solid build coupled with 24x optical zoom and that excellent Auto mode make it a winner but remember, video can be a mixed bag.S...
Constant F/2.8 lens, Good image stabilization, Has PASM modes, Able to shoot in RAW
LCD quality can be increased, Loss of detail from ISO800 onwards, Pricey compared to the competition, No eyesensor function
Superzooms offer a good compromise in terms of reach and weight; regular point-and-shoots cameras can't match their zoom range while DSLR cameras require a heavy telephoto lens in order to achieve the same reach.In terms of image quality, the Panasonic Lu...
Los efectos que tiene son de buena calidad y graba en Full HD. Es una cámara cómoda, de buena calidad a un precio justo
Este tipo de cámaras tienen muchos botones que pueden llegar a confundir un poco. La pantalla no es táctil, característica que ya existe en otras cámaras de la misma gama
Aunque la primera impresión puede ser que se trata de una cámara muy grande, no te dejes llevar por su apariencia. Es muy fácil de usar, puede llevarse a todos lados y tener siempre una muy buena calidad a la hora de tomar fotografías o grabar video, p...
Ouverture lumineuse sur toute la plage de focale, Range du zoom très polyvalent, Qualité d'image jusqu'à 1600iso en raw, Raw disponible, AF convaincant
Pas de GPS ni de WiFi intégré, Qualité audessus de 1600 iso, A quand un capteur 1/1p ?, Dynamique faiblarde

En développant ce Lumix FZ200, Panasonic a laissé tomber la guerre des chiffres - zooms de plus en plus puissants, toujours plus de mégapixels dans les capteurs, etc. - pour une approche basée sur la qualité de l'image et de l'électronique. Un pari réussi...
Bonne qualité d'image jusqu'à 800 ISO, Optique à ouverture constante à f/2,8, Vidéo Full HD 50p avec son stéréo, Bonne réactivité de l'appareil, Bonne ergonomie, simplicité d'utilisation et possibilité de débrayage, Mode Raw et Jpeg
Viseur étroit et peu contrasté, affichage séquentiel des couleurs, Construction plastique un peu légère
Le FZ200 supplante ses prédécesseurs, grâce à sa rarissime optique à ouverture constante à f/2,8. La qualité d'image ne fait pas un grand bond en avant mais demeure excellente. La spécificité du FZ200 et ses bons résultats photo et vidéo en font le nou...
