Well, if you want a long zoom camera that won't break your

We took this on safari and it was a great size and took incredible photos, including beautiful and clear zoom photos.

Also I took videos and was able to work the zoom in and out

But the amazing zoom and speed of operation on this camera is simply astonishing

The zoom is fabulous and the pictures I have been able to get are gorgeous

Still quality is quite good, not DSLR good, but very good

, I managed to get great quality video out of this camera

I plan to use the video for some art projects and I definitely think it's a good quality video that will look professional once I become a better cameraman

It is bulkier than a pocket point and shoot, but the quality is better

This is a light weight point and shoot camera with a 600mm reach and add fantastic quality 4K video

I wish they'd spent their money on a faster lens, a larger sensor, and better dynamic range

I set a 1600 ISO limit and images showed very good dynamic range, much better than the FZ200 I had used previously

Image quality is excellent in good light, shows good dynamic range and lots of detail.20

It won't replace the FZ1000 which has a much larger 1 inch sensor with better image quality, better low light quality and better dynamic range

Small sensor has lower dynamic range and less detail in images.3

EVF is larger and improved over FZ200 and can view scenes and info better6.

The f/2.8 lens - incredible in low light, and is even great in bright sunlight.

The EVF is much better than the FZ150, a real delight to use

The best features she liked were the beautiful bright sharp EVF

What it adds (aside from extra weight) is "splash-proofing," a better EVF, better LCD, and 4K video

Picture quality is superb, zoom is amazing, features are mind boggling

This camera has so many neat features it will probably take a year to learn them all

Awesome camera with super clear photos and a lot of nice features

Work great - so many new features this could be classified as a professional unit.

Some really great points and extra features that make the

In perfect lighting, this camera takes outstanding pictures.

And unless you purchase a professional zoom lens for any camera your zoomed out pictures will be soft

It had a longer lens than the Lumix but the Lumix takes much better pictures

The zoom is fabulous and the pictures I have been able to get are gorgeous

and I am very excited about learning more and taking even better pictures.

I have only heard good things about it from the receiver

The menus are dependent on the camera mode - a good thing - but there are so many modes it's tough to remember where a particular setting lives

A lot of good things I have found about this camera & really not much on the negative side I can find with the exception over time, the flip out viewfinder fails to work and something between the actual OLED viewfinder & the camera's body may have worn away over the past year of heavy use

The only unfortunate thing is that I paid full price--currently $50 cheaper.

For the price, this device does a lot of great things for both filming and photos use

I still have a lot to learn on this, but I love it so far.

(It is really dumb and misleading for Amazon to have combined reviews for two totally different cameras - the FZ300 and the FZ1000, which have totally different sensors and other major differences.)I bought this camera as a replacement for my aging FZ150, which I liked a lot both for stills and video.

The lens and sensor are (would have loved a larger sensor) the same, but I could swear the firmware does a slightly better job with the JPEG compression algorithms.

I have mine 5 months and the lens is scratched

But I've also had so many frustrating moments where I had an opportunity for a great shot, but had the wrong lens on

I always seemed to have the wrong lens on when I wanted to photograph something.
