Pros: Great lens all 2.8 25-600 mm, RAW, good file quality up to 400 iso and maybe even something extra with good light, tropicalized, excellently stabilized, easy to use, light, great touch monitor, great video, good macro function with add, 4K and more

Cons: For what it costs nothing

Opinion: If someone buys a camera like that he knows what you take then it seems useless to complain because the sensor is small. I needed a focal point over 500 mm to be flanked by the 4/3 micro kit for occasional photocread (ibex, chamois, birds ), but also a tropicalized camera to take to the mountains and to the sea for general use, without having to change lens and without fainting. If they wither me, I can always do it later. Keeping the iso low, using a support if you climb a lot of focal and in poor light conditions (light easel, monopod ), you get excellent results and you can easily zoom in up to A3.

Pros: Price of the new truly competitive, wide focal excursion, constant f2.8, small size, touchscreen, stabilization, tropicalization, fully articulated display, etc...

Cons: For the segment in which no one is proposed, perhaps the fact that it has only one die.

Opinion: Small and compact, it's really a pleasure to use, even with one hand. Compared to my mirrorless with several Lenses, much more cumbersome, it always gives me a certain serenity: the possibility to grasp details otherwise out of reach, the room itself that gives little in the eye, the practicality of tucking it into a bag, having an object that cost no more than 1000 euros, etc... Of course, the yield does not allow you to print with fluency: in that case the photo must be taken with good light, and ISO not exceeding 400, however it is a purchase that I recommend for a holiday or as a second body. Today at a cost of 360 euros, considering all the advantages it offers such as excellent stabilization, excellent lens, tropicalization, touch display that can be used at the same time with the viewfinder for the point of focus (feature that should be present everywhere) I don't feel like saying anything negative.

Pros: Brightness, lightness, tropicalized, focal extension

Cons: Closing at only f. 8, hold high iso

Opinion: I have been using it incessantly for more than a year and it is great for trekking, I scrambled it in a far-fetched way but it is always the ready... What about an irreplaceable machine for the low weight and results that give in terms of chromatic yield and definition (keeping in mind that it has a sensor the size of a 12-year-old's little fingernail...)

Pros: Max constant aperture of the lens at f 2.8 for the entire focal range (but F. 2.8 at 4.5 mm. It's not the same as 25 mm. On F.F. because the depth of field is considerably different, well greater than 4.5 mm. which-although on this camera has an equivalent field angle and a 25 mm. -It's still a 4.5 mm. And even at 108 mm., the depth of field is greater than that which one might have with a "true" 600 mm.). sharpness, color rendition and very good Microcontrast (but from 400 ISO onwards did not satisfy me). Crisp Video (for the few I've done). Hood as standard. Adjustable Monitor. Good stabilization even at the maximum focal.

Cons: Poor image quality above 400 ISO, but I think it is also a problem that arises from the small size of the sensor. Reaction times (ignition, delay in shooting) a little too long. Slow Zoom. A bit heavy to be a bridge. Disappointing electronic viewfinder and low-readable monitor in high-brightness conditions. Battery life not Excellsa.

Opinion: Excellent for those who want to take pictures while traveling and do not want to have the footprint of a reflex with relative optical park. For the rest, while providing good quality images but only from 100 to 200 ISO, it did not seem so "amazing" and "superb", but simply honest, and, anyway, at least for me, not exciting so much so that after about six months of use (I took it in 2016) , I resold it, dissatisfied, to take a compact pocket Canon (sensor size almost equal-4.5 x-, less focal length-only 5x!-and brightness variable from F. 2.0/4.5) but with a general yield and handling and maneuverability Higher ISO's definitely better than the FZ300. Given that in photography the important thing is to have fun (even with the disquisitions of technical, optical and physical nature) and, therefore, to find satisfaction with the photographic instruments suitable for their own inspiration, personalities, etc..., I would say-but without any intention Controversy-that I disagree with those who claim that they are "better 12mpx on a 1/2.3 sensor than 20MPX on a 1" sensor because this statement in part is commented on by itself since the ratio is 5, 6x and then also because my experience with cameras with sensors Verses (1/2.3, 1/1.7, APS-C and F.F.) showed me "de visu" that already the 12 mpx of the old Canon 5d (old) are qualitatively and significantly higher as the rendering of images (both JPEG and RAW) compared to the same MPX smaller sensors , not only, but also compared to the 20mpx of the more advanced sensors 1/2.3. The proof lies in the fact that, otherwise, I would have kept the Panasonic and I would not have bought the Canon compact camera, now supplanted by a mirrorless Sony APS-C, and the Canon 5d and 6d F.F. SLR cameras then.

Pros: Very high image quality despite the size of the sensor. Constant opening 2.8 for the entire focal length excursion. Superb optics. 4k Video well stabilized. Tropicalization.

Cons: Max closing F10 diaphragm.

Opinion: Superb camera bridge. Light and quality optics. I read some too much criticism about the sensor size, but the choice of Panasonic in that sense has a motivation. More than valid. With a zoom so powerful and with a constant aperture at 2.8, today the technology does not allow to pair a larger sensor. However (and here the ingenious choice of Panasonic) is attributed to 12MPX and there they manage with an extraordinarily effective Venus processor (even superior to Sony's Bionz). Better 12mpx on a 1/2.3 sensor than 16MPX on the same sensor; Especially if behind there is not a great processor. In fact, by increasing the number of photodiodes, for this kind of bridge, one inevitably ends up reducing the volume by prejudicing the quality of the image. This is a fact dictated by the physical laws. Otherwise we should prefer taking pictures with a smartphone rather than with a quantanche bridge camera. That's why Panasonic's choice for this camera was more than responsible. And that's why the Fz300 is one of the best bridges on the market. I tried to print poster format and the Fz300, when working in a sufficiently bright environment, produces detailed images, sharp and saturated. It goes without it that you can not equate to full frame or even to cameras with larger sensor. But among all those with sensor 1/2.3, this fz300 turns out to be the best in terms of image quality. And that's because it possesses the optimum ratio of MPX/sensor size (I came from a Fujifilm FinePix S1 from 16MPX same sensor and this Fz300 does not make me regret it). I conclude with the fact that I shoot only in RAW for the possibilities of creative intervention without corruption of data.

Pros: Clearly the constant 2.8, the 4k and 4k photo 30p and Full HD video 60p (both unlocked, Standard has 25p in 4k and 50p in FHD), quick focus touch, is a bridge therefore very versatile, even in macro with manual MAF with a special side nut.

Cons: Clearly the tiny sensor and the only 10.5 mpx shooting in 3:2, I also have to admit that the EVF does not seem to be sharp, even adjusted well by anyway bother a little to the eyes. The JPEG churched out by the fz300 applies excessive automatic noise reduction, eats several details, fortunately you can customize it.

Opinion: Then I have to partially recreate on this fz300 bought used in excellent condition at €260, it takes a bit of familiarity to bring out the best. Now I explain better, I come from a fz62 used maybe 6-7 years and myriad of shots and videos, and a fz82 that instead I sold after little because I did not convince me full (ok the improvements of the 4k photo that is very convenient, and the zoom lunar 60x , but at the maximum focal length required times not very fast and were not fermissime photos except with tripod), so the first thing in negative that I noticed was pass with the same sensor, in 3:2, from 16mpx to 10, 5mpx, the difference in the details you notice All right. But then working in custom with sharpness in positive and negative NR-3 I rediscovered details that before the camera automatically took off trying to remove noise. The constant 2.8 was a surprise... it is bright outside from start to finish, and also creates a nice blur but you have to focus the subject for good because if not sometimes it makes a mess, I have always snapped in P, but lately I'm grating in a for certain scatt I and I see how I helping the camera gets all better. The 4k photo is very convenient, instead of shooting in burst, focuses initially and then you choose the shot you want to 8mpx (say a few but is worked with a different algorithm I would say because I do not know big differences from the classic shot indeed). The post focus in my case is useless, but someone will serve. The focus in the videos is definitely improved by my fz62, and the swivel display is really comfortable. I have to update the review saying that the raw is a whole other thing x luck, the JPEG of the fz300 above 200-400iso applies an automatic reduction by eating so many details, the raw instead has everything you need and with the software that from Panasonic, the Sylkipix come out Out JPEG's that are finally really good, and large double the ones on the camera almost:) and then forgot, I took the extra tele DMW-lt55 which has 1, 7x conversion and is really good, creates an unexpected blur thanks to 2.8!! I have to remember that this bridge remains a compromise, so it does not have the quality shot of a mirrorless or SLR with certain optics, but it can give you satisfaction cmq.

Pros: Amazingly sharp and bright optic, good ergonomics, tropical, focal length range from 25 to 600 mm enough to almost all subjects, acceptable size in relation to benefits, lens hood as standard, customizable menus and buttons, excellent (in relative to the size) the sensor. Focus accuracy.

Cons: EVF (at least to my eyes) not crystal clear even by adjusting the diopter. Yield such macros in name only. Articulated LCD inconvenient to use, and at greater risk of damage protruding from the camera body. Very short, not timeframe is in the shot. Vignette at Min focus. In low light the obvious noise issues given the sensor. JPG files slightly planed. Processing software not fantastic.

Opinion: Premise is not the first camera, and I bought some for car comfort me, and a little way out even in bad weather. The own for a couple of months, and I brought her under heavy rain and snow. It worked well, and gave me good photos, once you get to save in RAW and then work them. The sensor is small, so don't try to shoot handheld with the light of a candle (but maybe I could try ...). With sky also very cloudy, and obviously with good light, allows you to take 100 ISO sensitivity and keeping going from f/2.8 to f/4 (which is his sweet spot), and sometimes to three zeros. Image sharpness is good even at F/2.8. The colors, to my taste, are well made, and the amount of detail that the lens and sensor capture is very high. Working files you can recover quite well from highlights. In practical use, accepting a relative slowness in ignition timing and shot, and an EVF not crystal clear (at least to my eyes), I ended up really fall and make daily companion. The maximum focal length could be worn to 800 mm equivalent, for hunting. I consider it a good buy.

Pros: F 2.8 Constant, Raw, ergonomics and construction, tropicalization, many advanced settings, live view quality, beautiful colors, fits almost all types of photography.

Cons: Sensor size, F8 as maximum closure, iso hold, bulb non-existent, shorter times when lifting iso.

Opinion: I have been using it for almost 2 years, I used it mostly for landscapes, different still life (in low key), some portrait, macro (very good, clean and clean) and reportage .. I have it and I am squeezing it deep and this has allowed me to understand its strengths and those less. Starting from the first. RnrnStrong points: rn-the lens is very sharp, especially with optimum light conditions, with little light losing a bit but recovering using manual MAF and with some pp; rn-the electronic viewfinder is very detailed and together with the articulated screen provide all the shooting details that can be useful; rn-programmable buttons at your own pace (4 keys), very convenient to press; comfortable knobs and knobs, solid construction (I dropped from 1m and nothing is done) and excellent tropicalization (tested in the rain, dust); rn-can do almost everything; perhaps the only exception is astrography and exposures> 1min; rn-quality sensor: the files are very good and workable (we talk about a bridge), in pp you tyrannized out molthese things. The quality of the photos is very good, despite the 12 mpx I made 3 40x60 prints and I think they are stupendous, detailed and with a really fine grain and very nice (looking close at hand) in my opinion. Rn-sensitivity of the points of maf even at -3stop (and beyond I think) .rnrnWeaked Posts: Small sensor-rn: Holds very little iso. At 400, the photos have a fine grain but do not completely ruin the files that remain usable up to 800-1000 (also depends on the situation). over 1200 I think it's best to do without snapshot.rn-F8 maximum closure .. it does not therefore allow you to lengthen the times if you want long exposures. However, it is sensible since infinite the car is already in focus from f5.6-6.3. As the big ones rise up over 800, it seems to me that the maximum pose time is shortened .. so you can not do astrography since with iso to 2000 you will not be able to go beyond 13-15 sec. rn- electronic viewfinder and live view show a preview of the picture just wider. this means photos will be appeasedyou just cut off what you see during the shutter but the machine also makes very good videos, with clean and fairly clear audio. rnrnI think this car is much better than the entry level reflexes to get started. It lets you try a lot more photo genres than an entry level with a kit kit. It also has many features that in the reflex system are found only in semi-professional and professional. rn

Pros: Leica optics with constant f2.8 aperture, Tropicalized, full of features, full HD video quality and 4K

Cons: Sensor too small but proportionate to his MPX, you can not push beyond photograph 800/1000 iso But I did not take to take pictures.

Opinion: I purchased this Bridge, not so much for photography, because I already have two Canon SLR, 80d and 70d, with lenses, flash and so dedicated ... but I needed a video camera in Full HD to put in emergency bag to the room main, having sold after years of shooting with shoulder cameras, the last model I used a Sony Full HD ,. Now I switched to video footage with SLR, which is why I mainly use the 80d, 70d, and every now and then, just trying xò a videocamerina to keep in your purse, trying the different sites, I came across the Panasonic FZ300, read the features, I said, very nearly with these ores have a video camera and a compact car to take me behind when I go out with friends and family without having to put in my bag heavy camera and various lenses ... without of course claim to have the same yield .. .. However, the FZ300 has arrived and immediately put under pressure, .... Conclusion, at the level photograph that I was interested less in this case, you can not ask for much, even shooting in Raw and postenendo in post with Photoshop, beyond the 800/1000 iso you can not go, but having an excellent optical constant f2.8, a good stabilization, you can stay low with iso and photograph freehand quietly, then wanting l ' I tried it with a lED spotlight for qul little more light, outdoors and in good light is no problem, returns of beautiful colors and sharp images, always considering the small sensor, ...... as for the video, with her I solved my set without bringing too much weight, very well worked, the shooting are fluid, the chance to make clips at 50 fps, and also wanting to 100 fps for me is super, is the slow motion fluids can get as I like, in addition to this the electronic viewfinder when shooting video is always a special treat like any camera, is held at bay exposure, manual focus and shot, without being obliged to always look through the main monitor , the 5-axis stabilizer works very well, even with camm shootinginando certainly no jumping or running, has lots of customizable features, manual and automatic, the focus is fast and follows the subject without let go, although I always prefer manual Maf, Tropicalised, and in case of rain expected not having problems, conclusion at this price it seems that Panasonic has very much put into this bridge, I do not exclude that later would move to FZ2000. I know my review is aimed more at the videos, but as I said earlier, for the photos I have my two Canon .....

Pros: sharp Photo

Cons: The flash only works when set certain parameters and is very expensive!

Opinion: The size of the sensor is to be put in relation to the fact that the camera gives a very wide focal length and maintains the aperture of f: 2,8 over the entire herself. The same reason applies to the number a bit 'limited Mp. More so for now it is not allowed by the technologies now available. I remember, in the past, which already has a 28/200 was a focal extension admiral and nevertheless did not even have a fixed aperture throughout its extension. Thanks, Sergio

Pros: Leica optics, tropicalization, versatility, burst, quality jpg, 4K video.

Cons: The size of the sensor!

Opinion: Possessor of 6D and 7DMkII, I took this Bridge for occasions where I like to travel light without sacrificing a good quality of scatti.rnHo ever had the previous version, the FZ200, which I was very pleased but which presented a weakness (too weak, given that in 16 months the two specimens in my possession were promptly broken ...): the rear dial button / wheel. Too bad because otherwise it was truly remarkable! RnAvendo learned from Panasonic - who had complained about the problem - that in this 300 the mechanism had been completely redesigned, as soon as I had the opportunity I got it and sincerely, aim apart (but also sensor, unfortunately ...!), it seems another camera! RNLA DMC-FZ300 superzoom bridge is not excessive but the excellent Leica lens, equivalent to 25-600mm f / 2.8 constant, does not regret those with focal even more pressures; This "compact" I find excellent the flurry and 4k videos from which you can extract pictures in high resolution, tropicalization it very useful on vacation, plus various other gadgets of sw at its disposal, not to mention the high quality of the jpg that churns out, I usually shooting in raw, but so far I am not able to improve the result of the same file offered by the camera, working it with camera raw. rnCome said, the mechanics have been completely changed for the benefit of ergonomics (and, I might add, of the resistance ...) remain the 4 programmable function keys with full functionality, improved stabilizer as well as the electronic viewfinder, MAF fast and Function tracking that once caught the subject, no longer is spring, combined with the deadly barrage, it can take home a remarkable effect shots. also improved the monitor, touch screen and now introduced the wi-fi with all its benefits for those who use it (although at the expense of battery life ...) rnC'è to say that disposing of a compact sensor ( absurd, although commercially understandable ... potEvano least mount to 1 "of FZ1000 ...), as long as you do not have to crop, after all the results are more than acceptable, but croppando are immediately out of all the limits of the sensor ... (and thank goodness, otherwise goodbye SLR, lenses, etc ...!) however, to travel light, it is perfect: with a weight of just over 500 grams and a footprint mini SLR, you will cover every conceivable focal and you take home more images that decent, without regretting too SLRs remained nell'armadio.rn

Pros: ergonomics, durability, optical bright

Cons: sensor size

Opinion: unfortunately I still used very little evidence that interested me, however, I made it at night with a tripod of course and despite the sensorino compact, I have to say that I think it is not bad defense, I leave to the judgment of experts made photos . Unfortunately I'm new to the forum and do not know yet organize the uploaded photos if you find them discuss them are urban landscape. I sold a mirrorless Olympus epl-5 to go to this bridge but I have to say that obviously missing something as to the use that I begin to be satisfied, I just have to have more time to use it. It 'a machine that would especially recommend for backpackers, with the robustness and weather sealing, as well as optics 25/600 mm f 2.8 over the entire focal length.
