Panasonic Lumix FZ200
Superzoom cameras have been stretching zoom capacities for years, but it looks as though Panasonic's latest Lumix FZ200 has taken a different approach: it's opted to maintain its predecessor's 24-600mm equivalent zoom, but now offers an f/2.8 aperture throughout the whole range.- An f/2.8 aperture throughout zoom range
- 24-600mm equivalent range is significant
- vari-angle screen
- decent battery life
- raw file capture available
- It's big
- at more than £500 it is pricey
- no touchscreen
- viewfinder refresh rate on the low side (makes it a bit juddery)
- no display of AF/MF on rear screen
- mic input is 2.5mm not 3.5mm
Brilliant Bridge Camera
I have owned many cameras and currently use 3 inc this one from a small compact up to a semi prof DSLR outfit. This camera was purchased to replace my ageing HS20exr. All round this is an excellent camera.- Excellent image quality
- Great Lens
- Wonderful Screen
- Lots of features
- Great Video Capabilities
- Viewfinder too small
An excellant choice
Bought this product 7 days back after lots of research online. I am more than 100% satisfied with the product as still images are very very crisp with vibrant colors (particularly on a large screen LED tv) though some noise at iso more than 400 is noticeable but there is no need to go beyond that.
Great Almost-A-DSLR
I purchased this camera as an upgrade to my Lumix FZ20K (5MP, 12x zoom), which I have owned for 7+ years. Like the FZ20K the FZ200 maintains a fast F2.8 throughout its zoom range, only this new one is has a 24X zoom at 12MP.- Great zoom range from 25mm (35mm film equivalent) wide-angle to 600mm telephoto
- Lens sharpness is great throughout range
- Lots of creative features
- Battery has really good life
- Accepts 52mm filters
- Manual focus with the electrical slider switch on the side of the lens is a little tricky
- I would have preferred a mechanical focus ring like on my older Lumix FZ20K
- Also slider switch can be set to adjust zoom or focus.
good camera, good price
I owned an earlier version of the lumix and was impressed by the quality of the lens and the resulting image. The Leica lens is special, it's not just hype. I read reviews on the fz200, was impressed and looked for a good price from a major supplier - that turned out to be Office Depot.- value
- Quiet
- Performance
- leica lens
- no room for thumb
Loving this camera
I downgraded from a Nikon D7000 and before that a Nikon D90 because of medical issues that caused the weight to be an issue. I had to buy it without seeing it first and I was hesitant to do that. I read many reviews which is why I'm writing this one. At first I thought I might return it.- Fast/accurate auto-focus
- Good Image Quality
- Good Image Stabilization
- Good in Low Light
- Great Zoom
- Large Clear LCD
- Love The Moveable Lcd Scr
- Nice Body Color
- Short Lag Time
- Small / Compact
- Tripod Use Limits Access
SLR functionality with a high end lens
The advantage this camera offers over anything else I have seen with an f2.8 aperture all the way from 25mm to 600mm, appears to be a technological breakthrough. Most telephotos only go down to f5 or f6 at the longer ranges.- High end quality, reliable brand, perhaps one of the fastest telephotos available with f2.8 at the full 600mm zoom
- Well laid out controls, most if not all of the functionality of a good DSLR. Double the zoom of most DSLR lenses, at a larger aperture.
- DSLR's generally have larger image sensors
- and higher megapixel count
- which together can equate to better quality pictures at the outer limits of photography
- if used with equivalent or better quality lenses
Originally I was hesitant to spend this kind of money on a p & s camera but the FZ200 has more than lived up to the hype. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. It does everything exceedingly well.
Best camera in this range
The camera is best in this range and has a ton of features. Pros: 1.The best part is it maintains constant f2.8 aperture which enables you to take good images even at high zoom 2.The 24x zoom feature is the best, you don't need more, but still using intelligent mode you can reach upto 96x zoom 3.The...- Easy To Use
- Fast Shutter Speed
- Good Image Quality
- Large Clear LCD
- Tilt /Swivel LCD
- Noisy At High ISO
- Poor In Low Light
Good Travel Camera
This camera is ideal for travel. It possesses enough features to keep most enthusiasts engaged. Image quality is good for such a small sensor and auto focus is good enough for most travel situations. Although it is relatively small and light, it is bulky but not enough to put you off.- Durable
- Easy To Carry And Trapsor
- Easy To Transport Around
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Bulky
