With its Lumix FZ300, Panasonic will not disappoint those expecting a versatile, bright bridge with a good zoom range. It goes fast, it’s very handy, it films in 4K, it resists rain and dust and, in some aspects, can even pass for an expert camera. If bulk is not a problem, this is a very good candidate for the title of universal camera.
Alternatively
Panasonic is tackling the sector of high-end bridges with 1″ sensors and pulling out all the stops to compete with both the Sony RX10 and SLRs below €900. Versatile and perfectly stabilized zoom, incredibly fast autofocus, 4K video… it’s a real Swiss army knife of photography whose few teething flaws are not enough to deprive it of five well-deserved stars.
