The controls and setting navigation may be overwhelming if you're used to "leaving it in Auto." Because of the lens
It is bigger -- and more expensive -- than other small-sensor cameras with comparable zoom ranges. No headphone jack
Good image quality for its class; Improved ergonomics; Impressive new EVF and rear display; Versatile 24-600mm equivalent f/2.8 lens; Faster autofocus performance; 4K video and 4K Photo features,
Bulky camera body; Excessive default noise reduction applied at lower ISOs; Continuous autofocus performance is inconsistent,
Abstract: Panasonic has announced its successor to the FZ200. Dubbed the LUMIX DMC-FZ300, this new all-in-one offers a 24x optical zoom range. That's 25-600mm in 35mm equivalence. The remarkable thing, though, is the constant f/2.8 maximum aperture allowing for low...

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 ...

Abstract: Big superzoom cameras are still referred to as bridge models in many circles. It's a vestigial term carried over from the days when the large body style was aimed at photographers who wanted to move up from a pocket point-and-shoot (which, at the time, ha...
