24x zoom lens with f/2,8 aperture, All-weather build, Excellent EVF, Vari-angle touch-screen display, Very fast autofocus, 12,4fps burst shooting, Strong high ISO images for its class, Raw image capture, 4K video
Expensive, Large-sensor superzooms offer better image quality, Zoom range isn't as ambitious as others
The excellent Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300 superzoom offers a long focal range with a fixed-aperture lens, 4K video, and instant autofocus...
Image quality is very good, helped by the modest pixel count. And 4K video is stellar. Focus tracking, exposure and white balance adjust quickly. The dynamic range is amazing with detail preserved
The camera body is huge, presumably to offer an aesthetic balance to the big lens. We could have done without the extreme zoom range in exchange for a smaller overall unit
This camera embodies the virtues of Panasonic's standard-setting compact LX7 and adds the phenomenal 4K video recording. When we showed the video to serious photographer friends they were all amazed that such image quality was available at ...
Three years ago, when the FZ200 was released, it was one of the fastest cameras in the super-zoom category. The FZ300 improves upon that performance and also delivers higher resolution, better stabilisation and 4K movie recording in a more robust, weather...

It's not great, but it's good enoughOverall, the FZ300 is a feature-filled camera that does what it sets out to do, besting your typical superzoom camera thanks to its superior lens. But at $600, it's more expensive than your typical superzoom, and its sm...

24x 25600mm f/2.8 zoom lens with 5axis stabilization, Tropicalization, Pivotable touchscreen, Highres viewfinder is bright and comfortable, 4K video and 4K Photo, Buildquality, Lots of customizable options, RAW format, WiFi, Comes with charger
No headphone port, No customizable lens ring, No focal length markers on lens barrel, Menus are sometimes a bit complicated, Proprietary USB port
The FZ300 won't disappoint the Panasonic fans who were hoping for an all-round bridge camera with a bright lens and great zoom. It's fast, easy to handle, films in 4K, is dust- and water-resistant, and in some ways could even pass for an expert DSLR. It's...
