πŸš€ Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


Collectively, the Panasonic Lumix FZ300 Digital Camera satisfies a range of reviewers, from casual photographers to more seasoned hobbyists. It's praised for its budget-friendly pricing, extensive range of functionalities, and being a great learning tool for beginners. Most users seem to agree that it delivers high-quality photographs and possesses an impressive zoom capability, despite some challenges with auto-focus at full zoom. However, its app support left many disappointed, and its battery life was found wanting.

Pros

  • πŸ“Œ Exceptional value for the price
  • πŸ’‘ Great for beginners to learn with
  • πŸ“· High-quality, detailed photos even at a high zoom
  • πŸ”„ Functionalities similar to a DSLR, including time-lapse
  • πŸ”„ Smooth and solid build, easy to handle
  • πŸ’‘ Appropriate for a variety of photography scenarios

Cons

  • ❌ Subpar app support
  • πŸ”‹ Poor battery life
  • πŸ”„ Some difficulties with auto-focus at full zoom
  • πŸ’‘ Smaller size may be challenging for those with larger hands

Should I Buy It?

If you are a beginner looking to delve into the world of photography, or more experienced photographer seeking robust features without the pricey investment in a DSLR, the Panasonic Lumix FZ300 is a compelling choice. It provides high-quality photos, DSLR-like functionalities and is great value for its price. While the camera has some drawbacks such as poor battery life and a lackluster accompanying app, these do not significantly taint its overall appeal. Therefore, if you are willing to compromise on these aspects, this camera is well worth considering.


  • A nearly perfect digital camera....nearly
I needed a new digital camera & decided on this one. I am not quite as demanding for DSLR-like photos, but good enough for saving, viewing later on and perhaps posting on social sites. PROS: Constant F2.8 aperture OLED touchscreen rear swivel/twist view-finder Weather-sealed [don't stick it underwater] Shoots 4K video & burst photo mode Programmable photo mode Can shoot either JPEG or RAW photos Can use external flash Built-in flash 24X Optical zoom Leica lens Uses same battery as FZ200 and FZ1000 Super fast 10 fps burst shooting Takes pretty good photos for small 1 2/3" sensor Good Venus Processor/engine 12.1 Megapixel Wi-fi option Typical easy to navigate Panasonic menu system LVF sensor Full manual photography modes Fairly good battery life [over 200 photos per battery, less when using flash a lot] Special photography modes/scenes CONS: Smallish 1 2/3" sensor Not a massive zoom So-so photo qualities in very low light conditions for indoors and outdoor photos, use a flash! Overall photo qualities are pretty good outdoors during daylight, not so well in low light conditions. Overall photo qualities for indoor photos with flash are pretty good, sometimes photos get washed out by the flash, so you can lower the flash intensity with this camera to fix that issue. Photo qualities indoors with no flash are not good unless it's extremely bright indoors. Use a flash for all indoor photos if possible with this camera. Overall, 4K photos comes out rather good Overall video qualities are quite good indoors and outdoors, especially during daylight hours, so-so in lower light conditions. 4K videos are fine, nothing really outstanding but pretty good still. If you want a decent small-sensor larger digital bridge camera that takes overall pretty good photos & loaded with a lot of features & really don't need or want to spend hundreds of dollars more on the bigger sensored FZ-1000, FZ-2000 or FZ-2500, then this maybe the camera for you. I gave this camera 5 star rating all because it fulfills most of my photo needs with no problems. It's a pretty good camera for being a smaller sensor camera. Nearly a perfect digital camera, I would say. ... show more

  • Amazing camera
I used a FZ200 for about five years with very good results, and decided to upgrade simply because I could. Well, I am very glad I did. This camera has enough bells and whistles to keep me occupied for a while, but what's iimportant is that it is a stronger zoom with better stabilization that produces better images, AND IN RAW, no less. Ergonomically, it is ideal. Very well thought out, and Panasonic got rid of the sill little single wheel on the back that controlled everything and that broke so easily. Oh, and the screen is touch sensitive...which is really cool as well as very handy. My only complaint is the battery life. That may be my fault, however; I keep the focus on full time focus, have a lot of program parts running all of the time, and zoom a lot. Attached is are a few recent photographs. All are hand-held. The first is Macro with no touchup at all. 35mm eq Focal length was 25mm, ISO was 400, exposure was 125/sec. The second is at night with only the streetlight and local lighting available. Some slight lighting adjustments have been made. The exposure was 1/.77 sec, the 35mm eq focal length was 50mm and the aperture was f8. The ISO was 3,600. No touchups have been made. The last on is from 30 feet away on a windy day. I used auto spot focus and exposure, aperture is 2.8,, iso 100, exposure was 1/320 sec and the 35mmeq focal length was 600mm - no adjustments whatsoever though it has been cropped. All of the images are .jpeg. ... show more

  • FZ300, A Fantastic Camera that is a huge upgrade to the Panasonic FZ200
I bought the FZ300 as a present for my wife. She loved the FZ150 she was using but found it's limitations discouraging. She didn't want my FZ200 and didn’t like the FZ1000 I bought her at first because it was too big and heavy . I ended up adding it to my camera collection (it's a great 5 star camera that I enjoy using and I highly recommend). The FZ300 is smaller and lighter than the FZ1000 and seemed like a good upgrade for her to use. Before I gave my wife the camera I tested the camera out and was extremely impressed with the huge number of improvements in the camera over the FZ200. The FZ200 has the same lens and sensor as the FZ300 but the difference that the improved processor, much better EVF and touch screen, much better build quality, weather proofing make this camera a terrific buy. There are so many other features, neither of us has tried will make this camera useful for just about any occasion She likes to use just the IA setting like many users and the FZ300 works just perfect in that setting. She used the camera on our just completed cruise and was so enthusiast about it's performance, I kept hearing , "I love this camera", . "I love this camera". . In viewing her images they were coming out sharp, detailed, and perfect exposure. We were both amazed that even the lower light indoors images and video showed great detail. I set a 1600 ISO limit and images showed very good dynamic range, much better than the FZ200 I had used previously. The best features she liked were the beautiful bright sharp EVF, the fast accurate focus and the touch screen was a WOW, She also loved the many extra features. She found the handling superb. It does feel great in the hand and the new styling matches the newer Panasonic cameras. The menus are easy and the super control panel seen on expensive cameras is terrific. You can quickly adjust any setting on the LCD without going through extensive menus like most cameras. The touch focus on the LCD screen is also a great feature. Macro images are also much easier to take and look great. Some really great points and extra features that make the camera very special 1. The camera has an excellent grip, it feels good in the hands. Easy to use. 2. Very good camera build, feels more solid than the excellent FZ200 3. Camera has weather sealing and can be used in inclement weather. Not waterproof! 4. Great zoom range. From 25 to 600 5. EVF is larger and improved over FZ200 and can view scenes and info better 6. Touchscreen LCD is a great improvement which allows easier use of camera 7. Can set the focus point while viewing through EVF, focus area, extra functions buttons. 8. Constant F2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom area. Allows more light, better low light 9. Has mechanical shutter (quiet) and electronic shutter (noise free) great in museums 10. Extremely fast focus, much improved over the FZ200. Depth from defocus process? 11. 4K photos, 30FPS images come out 8mp, can easily select perfect photo on LCD 12. 4K video now possible. Carefully done and results are excellent. 13. Camera appears very fast. Fast startup and ready to use. 14. Microphone port allows adding external Microphone. Useful when windy conditions. 15. Improved low light images even with the small sensor. Up to 1600 with some noise 16. Camera while small dSLR sized is fairly light even with the big zoom lens. 17. Can easily add filters, including Polarizers, ND filters and super closeup filters 18. Includes a very good lens hood that can protect the lens without adding a UV filter 19. Image quality is excellent in good light, shows good dynamic range and lots of detail. 20. Wifi allows easy transfer of images. And camera control through app. 21. Images and video overall is excellent with lots of keepers. 22. F2.8 constant aperture lens allows improved Bokeh (background blur not usually possible with small sensor.). Mostly seen in macro images. 23. Good quality macro images possible. What isn’t so great with this excellent camera and could be improved. 1. Camera uses a very small sensor, so low light images and video are limited 2. Small sensor has lower dynamic range and less detail in images. 3. Could use a headphone jack for video. 4. Missing extra wide angle because of fixed lens. 5. Not pocket able, so camera needs a bag or strap. 6. Low light images and video while tops for small sensor are still limited and can be noisy. 7. Lens is integrated in camera so you really can’t change the lens. 8. Camera is not inexpensive but considering all the features, it’s a good buy. If you love super zoom cameras or you are a birder, this is a must buy. 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. But the FZ300 is a true super zoom; it stands in a class all it's own and it is well worth upgrading if you have a FZ150/FZ200 or other older Canon or Nikon super zoom. Right now as of 2016, it's the best small sensor super zoom you can buy. If the camera seems too big or expensive for you, consider the Panasonic ZS50 which is a great pocket super zoom with an EVF or the new ZS100 which now has a 1 inch sensor and touchscreen EVF..but costs more than the FZ300.. ... show more
