Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500

Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 is a pro camcorder in the body of a large-sensor megazoom

With a 1-inch 20-megapixel sensor and a 20x zoom lens made for movies, this compact is ready to meet your photo and video demands. Panasonic's Lumix FZ1000 is the camera I recommend the most to those considering a digital SLR for photography, but who aren't in love with the idea of buying and lugging around lenses. The new $1,200 Lumix FZ2500 arriving in December goes beyond that, eliminating the need for a high-performance camcorder, too.

Panasonic's new Lumix FZ2500 is a powerful and versatile superzoom camera. It is not a very compact camera, actually larger than most mirrorless ILC's and some entry level DSLRs, making it a handful when shooting or traveling with the camera.

If you're primarily a videographer, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 ($1,199.99) is an appealing camera on paper. It packs almost all the power of the Panasonic GH4, a darling of the pro video world, and puts it into a 1-inch bridge camera with a 20x zoom lens.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 Review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 camera has true pro-grade video features, but its 20x lens doesn't perform consistently across its coverage range. If you're primarily a videographer, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 ($1,199.99) is an appealing camera on paper. It packs almost all the power of the Panasonic GH4, a darling of the pro video world, and puts it into a 1-inch bridge camera with a 20x zoom lens. Add support for an external microphone and variable in-lens neutral density, 4K capture, and very fast autofocus, and you should have a camera that pleases videographers and still photographers alike. But its lens performance is inconsistent, and image quality suffers noticeably when zoomed in, making it a tough sell at this price. For a premium bridge camera, both still and video shooters are better off with our Editors' Choice, the Sony RX10 III, a more expensive, but in many ways more capable, option. Design The FZ2500 looks like a beefed up version of Panasonic's other 1-inch superzoom, the FZ1000. Its lens doesn't have that much longer of a reach—the FZ2500 covers a 24-480mm range while the FZ1000 covers a 25-400mm fiel...

But this camera is good with video and all of its options and easibility

If you want crisp photos, you may not want to spend $1,100. But this camera is good with video and all of its options and easibility. However, I have been trying to get clear,crisp pictures from this camera, and can't.

The Lumix DMC-FZ2500/FZ2000 is Panasonic's top-end enthusiast bridge camera that can handle both still and video shooting, though it's clearly focused on the latter, with its 4K capability and numerous capture tools.

A direct successor to the FZ1000 , which we reviewed in June 2014, the new Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 camera has a longer zoom lens and introduces some sophisticated video recording functions to a popular line of SLR-like, fixed-lens digicams.

Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 digital camera

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 digital camera is a very interesting beast. It is priced at significantly more than many interchangeable lens cameras, yet it has a fixed lens. It's also as large as many interchangeable lens cameras. And Panasonic calls it a hybrid video and still camera.
