pleased: product, price, service
Im still getting a feel for what the camera can do, but Im very happy with it thus far. The price for this kit (which gave me everything I needed to get started) was, I feel, very good. The camera, battery, charger, bag, memory card, and cable could, of course, be had more cheaply elsewhere, but Im very wary of the deep discounters you can find out there - and there is more than good reason to be wary. Which gets me to my main point: B&H has sati... Show More

Quality Photos Outstanding Specifications and Features
This is my 3rd bridge super-zoom camera & 2nd Lumix. I consider myself a Prosumer or advanced amateur. Anybody can pick up this camera & shoot great pictures in the Intelligent Auto mode and never venture beyond that. It can handle most any movie recording tasks. I like it because as a hiker it is relatively compact and light to carry. The combination of the long zoom range (600mm) & no need to carry extra lenses makes this camera a good choice ... Show More

Very good for adv. super zoom
I have been the happy user of a FZ200 since it came out a few years back. Now that price is coming down on the new model and its a mature production run I decided to upgrade. While it is very familiar, the new features make it really nice. Touch screen, view finder, button layout, faster & more accurate focus, improved stabilization and weather sealing all add up to significant improvements to me. Its still a small sensor but they have managed so... Show More

A Monstah Lens. A reasonable price.
This is a great, light, extended zoom point and shoot that for me, is the complete package. No need to pack extra glass and although I would like more mega-pixels, there would be the price increase with it. Im not a pro, so what this computer provides is more than adequate. About the only extra lens I would get would be the .7 wide angle adapter. Did I say great price? Read the instructions!!

A nice walk around camera
This is a nice upgrade from the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 Digital Camera with a clearer & biggerviewfinder and quicker focus response in dim lights. Its the same 12MP sensor and a 25-600mm F2.8 Leica lens but adds a new image processor, weather-sealing and 4K video support. In addition to capturing 4K/UHD video at 30p, the FZ300 can also grab high quality 8MP stills using its special 4K Photo mode. Wi-Fi is also built-in. The sensor size is only1... Show More

Makes me feel like a pro photographer!
This camera takes wonderful pictures in its intelligent photo mode. I do not have the tech know how to use manual mode but I know how to frame good pics and with this camera I can do magic!!! The zoom is fantastic! It is a big camera but it is lighter than a DSLR! FYI, I have carried my husbands Nikon 700 with 16x zoom attached and it is a work out! I am very happy with my purchase and B&H Photo costumer service!

Very Nice Camera
I ordered this camer for a future trip. Wanted to travel light but still have the luxury of having wide angle and telephoto options. This camera fits my needs exactly. The Leica lens is very nice and having F2.8 through the entire lens range is very nice. Photos have turned out very well and the video is much better than I ever thought it would be. Not sure about battery life but I always have a spare on hand on trips so I don't think that wi... Show More

More a Video Camera
Small chip means a long zoom. The larger pixels on this "low resolution" 12MP chip are good for low light video, but not so great for stills. Bokeh is what you'd expect from a small chip and "cheap" lens, but that lens will get you up to 600mm at f2.8. Lens flare is ugly, not a camera for creating "fine art". Why did I buy it, because it's smaller than the 500mm I used to lug around just for wildlife. For what it is, it gets five stars.

Superb camera
The camera is a rock star! Well designed menus, and flexible configuration options make this an amazing camera. Leica lens contributes to beautiful images. But the real star is the customer service on the phone. Thanks to thoughtful, knowledgeable discussion with Hymie, I was able to find the camera that makes me happy without feeling like I was being rushed or steered into something not right for me.

Rugged and Dependable
I take pictures, I download pictures to my iPhone easily with the built in WiFi and I use this camera all the time everywhere I go. All I carry with me is a spare battery and a charger and I am good to go. I reformat the card after every download while I am traveling. Simple and fast. The camera so far has proved rugged and well and truly dust and rain proof. Picture quality is fine for my use, I am an amateur and I post on a blog and Instagr... Show More

Good Camera for Outdoor Adventure Travel
I've used an FZ-200 for years in Antarctica, the Arctic and other remote places and have some amazing photos. The FZ-300 has many improved features and the same great optics. The FZ-300 has the same long telephoto reach, 24x, but provides WiFi connectivity, 4K photo-burst capture, touch screen, and time-interval recording. I particularly value the improved body design that provides extra splash and dust resistance. The weight of the camera is relatively low, making for easier packing and travel. The camera is moderately priced which makes it a great overall value.

I wanted an economical way to start shooting 4K. This camera is much more than I expected. 4K, timelapse, and so much more. I highly recommend this camera.

Fits my requirements for a great travel camera!
I have a Nikon D90 and love it but when I'm traveling it requires a lot of extra space and weight. Read many reviews and literature on features and personal experiences with "travel" cameras which led me to this camera. I'm still learning about all the features but am feeling more and more comfortable with it. The zoom is amazing and love that it also has macro capibilities. Will I still use my Nikon? Absolutely! Will my back be happy not carrying all the extras when traveling while still having the ability to capture great shots? Absolutely!

Very nice camera
I had a FZ200 and wanted to upgrade to a faster focus and other things. This camera meets my requirements. There is a lot more to learn with all the upgrades but it will be worth it. Take time to learn the camera and it will work just fine.

Best Concert Camera Available
For years, I have sneaked cameras into concerts and never been caught once. As a result, I have some excellent photos of many artists over the years. I have used all the models of Panasonic FX-series zoom cameras due to their compactness and feature set. Since the 600mm with f/2.8 models came along, I have had success with them. They handle well in low light, have good stabilization for handheld shooting and can operate without alerting security... Show More

What a wonderful kit!
The entire kit from B&H (camera, lens, carrying case, battery, charger & memory card) turned out to be better than expected. I have it with me constantly. Along with the FZ-300, I also have the FZ-1000. The 300 is smaller than the 1000, which makes for a camera that's a pleasure to carry around, use on a hike, etc. As for picture quality, both have excellent results. They have similar menus, with the 300's being a little easier to navigate. All in all, this is one of the best purchases I've made in years.

One of the best bridge camera
FZ300 only got a really tiny sensor. It is no good for low light performance. It is comparatively difficult to achieve shallow DOF. For these reasons, somebody may simply ignore this camera and conclude that people shouldn't buy it. I always say that a review is some kind of opinion that after experiencing, but not just an opinion through imagination. Yes, the FZ300 is having those above weakness points. Once you understand that, you may avoid us... Show More

Great travel camera
I picked up this camera literally on the way to the airport for a birding trip to Costa Rica, so had no time to read up on or explore all the features and adjustable settings before the trip. I was looking for a long zoom bridge camera for under $500 and B&H had the FZ300 on sale for the price I wanted - perfect timing! The sale included a 32GB memory card and a case - a really good value, and everything you need to start off with. Since I had no... Show More

Nice upgrade
I have had several of Panasonic's FZ series of super-zoom cameras. The FZ300 is my latest and replaces my FZ200. Although there are a lot of similarities, the FZ300 is the better camera. I'm an engineer, so I run objective tests on my cameras. I would rate the FZ300 as being one full stop better on noise than the FZ200. So ISO 1600 is full printable at 8.5' x 11" if you set the in-camera settings properly. In addition I gained a more comfortable ... Show More

Lightweight, powerful, travel ready
I was looking for a light camera that would allow me to replace my Nikon DSLR to travel with less equipment, but without losing manual controls or the ability to solve most of the photographic situations that appeared. The LUMIX FZ300 complies with all that and also is capable of shooting in 4K quality and allows me to go much further with its 600 mm. I'm happy with it.

Great Long Zoom Point and Shoot for travel
I bought this camera for travel, as my SLR gear is getting to be too much for those times. I am still learning about its capabilities, and am looking forward to great photos via its Leica lens. This came highly recommended by a friend. Time will tell.
