This was bought to replace a DSLR damaged in a fire. The lense range, 20-1200mm is amazing, I use the wide angle range far more than the zoom. However due to the rather poor user guide, I actually found the DSLR easier to use initially. Also, the salesman advised me that this camera cannot facilitate a lense filter to protect the lense from sticky fingers, scratches etc, which with a DSLR you would simply buy a new lense, but here would mean the camera is a write off. In fact a 55mm filter screws on nicely. The lack of a comprehensive instruction manual means I have somehow changed a setting so that everytime I press the shutter, it takes s burst of 3 shots. One day I'll get time to Google how to change this.Other than these issues, get a second battery as mine ... MoreThis was bought to replace a DSLR damaged in a fire.

I had a previous Lumix bridge camera and I know the quality would be good. My main camera is a DSLR which is generally more versatile for photos, but having a bridge camera is useful where a DSLR isn't handy. A lot of options from straight and shoot to adding filters to going on manual mode. The reach is on it is fantastic, from 20mm to 1200mm (using 35mm equivalent) and the option to push it further to 2400mm using Intelligent Auto setting which is a digital zoom, but given the distance involved with a digital zoom there is a loss of quality, but overall is an acceptable loss and the quality is normally ok or good depending on lighting. There is the option of saving photos in RAW and also 4k photography and filming. A great all round camera for the price of it and ... MoreI had a previous Lumix bridge camera and I know the quality would be good.

I bought this camera because I like to take wildlife photos and I just can't bear lugging the heavy DSLR around with the long lens. The reviews were good and I contacted someone who had this model, and who recommended it. I haven't had it long and I'm still learning all the features. But so far, I have been very impressed having achieved some great pics. I'm really impressed by the stabilization and the post focus feature. And the ability to save both JPEGs and raw images simultaneously and quickly thanks to the fast processor is a real bonus. The only downside is the small sensor generates a bit of noise at high ISO settings in low light. I set the limit it to 1600 which seems to improve the quality. Not long ago, I would have never considered a bridge camera, but ... MoreI bought this camera because I like to take wildlife photos and I just can't bear lugging the heavy DSLR around with the long lens.

The only complaint I have so far is the complexity of the menu system. You can ages looking for something as simple as formatting the SD card. The Zoom is fantastic. It would be nice if the lens was removable to permit the use of other lenses from the Panasonic range and the 18Mp is a little disappointing. If I insist on 24Mp resolution I could pay a lot more for a camera. Why can't Panasonic, or someone make it possible to upgrade the sensor.
Good Points: Fantastic range of features for the money. I have had the camera for a couple of months and am still learning about how best to use it. I wanted a camera with an excellent zoom range, a viewfinder and a screw mount for filters. This camera ticks all the boxes for a very reasonable price.Lots of support videos on YouTube in how to get the best out of the camera.It also comes with a touch screen which makes setup much easier than my previous camera (TZ70).Improvement Points: I purchased this as an upgrade to my Lumix TZ70 and was initially disappointed. The build quality didn't seem quite as good, no automatic viewfinder sensor and no level indicator in viewfinder.However the biggest disadvantage with these value cameras is their lack of ... MoreGood Points: Fantastic range of features for the money.

The build quality didn't seem quite as good, no automatic viewfinder sensor and no level indicator in viewfinder.However the biggest disadvantage with these value cameras is their lack of weatherproofing - part of the reason for my need to upgrade as my TZ70 had developed faults due to dust getting in.Also Panasonic have now, annoyingly, abondonded their Limixclub service which is still built into the camera for wi-fi file transfers - though direct to device WiFi transfer is still possible - making upload to cloud possible but more complicated.
Good Points: I love this camera!! It’s relatively easy to use (there’s still lots I need to learn though), and the picture quality is fantastic. I’ve been taking lots of wildlife/bird photos, and the images, even when zoomed right in, is brilliant. I have nothing bad to say about this camera and would highly recommend it to everyone.Improvement Points: If I was being very nitpicky then the only thing I would improve would be the lens cover. It does its job, but could be a bit sturdier and easy to use. This would not put me off buying the camera though.
Brought for the zoom, as it was greater than present camera.Zoom is really astounding, and the image stabiliser work effortlessly even at extreme zoom.The autofocus is a bit annoying when trying to photograph through a cage as the excellent macro focuses on the wire, not the cage occupants, but this is probably I need to learn how to avoidAnnoyancesAs you zoom there's a mild grinding that is a little worrying, but John Lewis' 2 year warranty should cover that if it gets worse.On the IA IA+ mode I keep getting a 'chirrup' sound which I think is the changing picture mode, but I can't find anything in the manual to confirm this or explain what it is.The USB port is READONLY, Panasonic confirm this so to selectively remove frames you have to use the camera delete ... MoreBrought for the zoom, as it was greater than present camera.Zoom is really astounding, and the image stabiliser work effortlessly even at extreme zoom.The autofocus is a bit annoying when trying to photograph through a cage as the excellent macro focuses on the wire, not the cage occupants, but this is probably I need to learn how to avoidAnnoyancesAs you zoom there's a mild grinding that is a little worrying, but John Lewis' 2 year warranty should cover that if it gets worse.On the IA IA+ mode I keep getting a 'chirrup' sound which I think is the changing picture mode, but I can't find anything in the manual to confirm this or explain what it is.The USB port is READONLY, Panasonic confirm this so to selectively remove frames you have to use the camera delete feature or remove the SDCARD and use in your PCSummaryA great buy, it's light, makes a great high quality 'point & shoot', a magnificent zoom range, has a good panorama feature. For the price it's a very good buy, you can get better, but at a much higher priceJohn Lewis' click and collect worked well at my local Waitrose
Whilst this camera has some basic failings such as not been able to connect and external microphone. It nevertheless is an outstanding camera. Its a shame Panasonic couldnt use the same symbols.in use with other cameras make, which to me would be just common sense. This is a camera which if you play to its strong points you will be exceptionally pleased if you expected to be like the ordinary cameras it is not. For most photographers who have used other cameras they will find it hard work coming to terms with its somewhat unusual structure for operating. If you wanted to shoot good quality video with no sound although havent yet used it I believe it to be excellent. This is the only camera in many years where I found it hard work to work out how to do some basic ... MoreWhilst this camera has some basic failings such as not been able to connect and external microphone.

This is the only camera in many years where I found it hard work to work out how to do some basic functions which I know are there but I believe it will be well worth the effort as some of it strong points are very good strong points the lens astounded me with one of the first photographs I took I think this camera will challenge many ew photographers unless they are used to Panasonic but I think Well worth the effort. Please note I would rather review this camera when Id had some time to really understand it as it is are used it for a very short period but Ive taken many thousands of photographs Michael Cooper
