Better than expected
The zoom is one of the best features in this camera! I’ve been filming with it 4K and it’s amazing! I’ve put effects on my short video so don’t pay attention to the grain you see. Without any editing it honestly looks amazing. I would totally recommend this camera.

Great concert video camera.
This is the best concert camera I have ever owned. Fits most venue specifications for non professional cameras. Can have trouble focusing in low light, but picks up beautifully otherwise.

Read before buying – this camera is great for what it is meant for, but not good for other uses.
This is a GREAT camera FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. Please read before buying.This camera is a “superzoom bridge” camera. That means it has a small sensor (it’s physically impossible to get this much zoom out of any portable camera with a large sensor). So, it is NOT a professional grade large sensor camera to get the best depth of color and pin sharp detail. BUT, it IS fantastic to take traveling or hiking to get ALL the shots you cannot get with your phone.Your phone is amazing at wide landscapes, panorama vistas, portraits, low light, etc. HOWEVER, your phone SUCKS at natural looking macro shots (close ups of small things) and it REALLY sucks at long zoom shots – that wildlife off in the distance for example.This camera does a great job of taking the pictures your phone simply can’t. It takes really good macro shots – like really good. Not expensive DSLR or mirrorless quality, but pretty close. AND this camera has lots (tons!!!) of OPTICAL zoom and high enough resolution that you can still crop to zoom in even a bit further and still have very solid resolution and quality (though not professional level by any means).Superzoom bridge cameras are, in my opinion, the best travel companion to your phone when you really need long zoom reach. And I believe this one is the best option for many people. It is cheaper, lighter, and smaller than the competition that can compete for image quality.Problems with (ALL) superzoom cameras:They SUCK in low light especially when zooming in – don’t bother, get out your phone instead – it’s great in low light. Once you get into twilight this camera will be mostly useless – but so will all similar cameras.They are a niche tool. Consider carefully whether you really need this amount of zoom. You can find 20X or even 30X large sensor compact cameras that will get better image quality and be even more portable, and 20x is still quite a bit of zoom, plenty for most uses.Problems with (THIS) superzoom:The physical and digital interface is not intuitive. You will need to spend some time learning how to use this.Having to push a button to switch from viewfinder to LCD screen is annoying (but not a big deal really).Taking any control over ISO, shutter speed, aperture, etc is a bit wonky.It also lacks some bells and whistles like wifi connectivity.Great things about (ALL good) superzoom cameras:Optical zoom is the ONLY good kind of zoom. Digital zoom is just cropping down your picture and losing resolution. It has its uses, but it’s better to just do it in the computer when you’ll have more control. These cameras have TONS of optical zoom in a small package, making it possible to get shots that are simply impossible with anything else you can afford or carry around – to give you an idea, the Canon 1200mm zoom costs about $20,000 and weighs a “surprisingly light” 7.4 lbs and is 21 inches long. This camera will get you the same distance optically at 1/50 the price of just the lens, less than 1/5 the weight of just the lens, and at a size you can pop in a purse or day pack.Good things about (THIS) superzoom:It is cheaper by far than all other options that get this kind of quality. Half the price or less of the Nikons that are only marginally better.It is smaller and lighter than the competition. The Nikons are nearly twice as long when turned off (lens retracted fully). They also weigh about twice as much (the Nikon P1100 weighs 3.1 lbs compared to this camera at 1.4 lbs). Weight and size really make a big difference in a travel/hiking camera.The Image Stabilization on this one is as good as it gets in a superzoom, which REALLY REALLY matters when zooming. I’ve managed to get very acceptably sharp photos at 1200 mm (full zoom) while handheld with NO support. That is incredibly impressive. You’ll need good technique – holding the camera properly, watching your breathing, and pressing the shutter without jiggling the camera body.To sum up, if you have been frustrated with the limitations of your phone when traveling, hiking, etc. and want something that can get all those pictures your phone simply can’t without having to carry around a dedicated camera bag, this is a FANTASTIC option – especially when out in nature to capture the wildlife that can often be very far off in the distance.If you don’t really need all this zoom, then maybe look at some of the more compact large sensor options that still have good zoom and can do good macro shots.If you have lots of spare money, and want the maximum possible zoom, and don’t care about carrying a larger heavier camera, then consider the Nikon P1100.But for the sweet spot of those who need the zoom that goes well past 20 or 30x, and want the most compact lightweight option, or people who have a budget to stay inside, this is the best option on the market, in my opinion.I’m a backpacker who is also a photography enthusiast, and after doing tons of comparisons and research, this is the camera I choose to carry on the trail because it solves all the problems I had with every other option.I’m giving it 4 stars out of 5 only because of the lack of wifi and the less than intuitive interface. Otherwise, I think this is a perfect camera for my needs.

Looooooong zoom. Great outdoors.
This is not a pro camera. It has its limitations. It needs light. But outdoors that long zoom is so nice……this image is not cropped, was taken at full zoom, and denoised. Not too bad, but some post processing is required.

Disapointing clarity and performance
Since my Sony super-zoom bridge cameras finally had to be retired, I had very high hopes for this Panasonic super-zoom. (I liked the quality and photos of a Panasonic Lumix pocket camera I owned many years ago) I’ve tested multiple settings, and macro to full zoom shots, and rarely do I get sharp photos as I did with the Sony. It performs poorly in lighting that isn’t full sun and isn’t always great in the sun as well.Also the zoom range is the same as my Sony; but this one doesn’t zoom as far or result in similar sharp photos. Trying to get the camera to focus on a small subject is often a nightmare. Many subjects are long gone before the camera focusses. I photograph insects in grasses and fields, to birds in trees, water, and the sky.Zooming in on ducks on a small pond in full sun, my viewfinder shows sharp subjects, but the actual photos are either less sharp, or have areas that look like a smudge on the lens, though the lens are clean.It didn’t occur to me when I bought it, that the camera lacked a GSP. That feature is great when in the field doing nature reports.

Love it!!!
This little camera is insane. I truly love it. I am not a photographer, I just wanted a camera that wasn’t crazy expensive but took crisp clear photos. I have been looking for one for a long time. I would buy one and be sorely disappointed and return it, I have done this for a while. My daughter recently joined flag football so I decided to try again and saw this camera. I put the camera in sports scene and the pictures are beautiful and even zoomed in the clarity is spectacular. The videos are also crisp and clear even zoomed in. The zoom is also insane. I have yet to explore all the bells and whistles but what I have used is sheer perfection… a million thumbs up

Price appears to be on the higher side.

Small, light & easy to carry around when travelling. Zoom range is sufficient for bird & animal video/photo.

If you are a beginner photographer and looking for a bridge camera, you might immediately think of brands like Nikon and Canon, which have stood the test of time. While I too was inclined toward these brands, I also wanted a camera that packed a decent zoom just to give me that extra bit of flexibility without having to pack several lenses when travelling.Having used this camera extensively for around 6 weeks in a variety of lighting conditions, in cities and in the country, I can say that it does not disappoint. The build quality feels solid and it can easily be carried around for a few hours without too much effort.The Intelligent Auto + (iA+), which the camera is set to by default, does a good job at recognizing particular scene types and adjusting the exposure accordingly. In this mode, you still have control of a number of parameters, including exposure value compensation ( which effectively changes the aperture) and white balance. Image stabilization is smooth even at the longer end of the telephoto range, providing you use the electronic viewfinder and cradle the lens barrel as you take the shot. Telephoto image quality can be improved considerably with the use of a tripod. The lens itself extends and retracts quickly and smoothly, while autofocus easily finds the subject. You can also select the focus point yourself using the touchscreen if you are not satisfied.There are times, for example in low light conditions or indoors, where the camera may select the wrong scene type and completely muck up the exposure. In these cases I would select either Program Auto or Manual modes to get more control over shutter speed and aperture. Bearing in mind the small sensor, the camera’s handheld performance in low light is passable. If you anticipate doing a decent amount of low light photography, I would suggest buying a cheap but stable tripod and using Manual modes to adjust exposure. Just remember to turn image stabilization off to prevent unwanted artifacts smearing the image.Those looking for creative control over depth of field similar to what a DSLR can offer will be disappointed. This is not a fixed aperture lens. The camera’s aperture range at 20mm EFL is F/2.8- F8, but at 100mm is only F/5.9 to F8. this makes it hard to achieve shallow depth of field at the lower focal lengths, although it is still possible at longer focal lengths providing you use a smaller aperture such as F/2.8 or F4 and correspondingly faster shutter speeds. Having said that, depth of field at the wide angle setting does not change significantly between F/4 and F8. I would argue that F/4 is a better setting for landscapes as you get less softening of the image.You can see some of the images below this review which I have taken using this camera. The resolution, sharpness and detail are more than adequate for the amateur enthusiast. One great feature is the built-in WiFi, which makes transferring images to your smartphone a doddle.One of the great strengths of this camera is the 4K video, which is not generally found at this price range. While 4K only shoots for 15 minutes at a time due to the risk of overheating, you can still shoot in 1080p for as long as you want.In conclusion, this is a great camera for this price and can easily adapt to any situation and help you build your photography skills for years to come. Would I buy it again? Absolutely.

El zoom digital es fantásticoEl vídeo y audio que graba es de excelente calidadEn si la línea lumix de Panasonic es muy buena para fotos caseras y una buena opción para dar los primeros pasos al mundo de la fotografía sin necesidad de hacer fuertes inversiones. La recomiendo mucho para los viajes y tomas casuales con familia y amigos.
