Before buying this camera I had read a lot of reviews with different minds about it. Some people says it has good zoom and high quality video, some says it's very noisy. So i was ready for most disadvantages of this camera. I would like to collect all pros and cons i've noticed so far. 1) Camera has wide angle, it is very good for shooting sceneries, but it means that 24x zoom is not so significant if you'd compare with non-wide angle camera (about 1,5 times difference) 2) 12 MP and 24x zoom is definitely maximum for 1/2.33" matrix 3)Camera has RAW, but i don't use it. May be, you'll find this option very important. Especially for noisy pictures. 4)Camera has good design, it is easy and small(i expected larger size) 5)Quality of video is really good 6) I compared this camera with canon SX40 and Fuji. Fuji has more attractive design it feels better in my hands and i don't know why i didn't buy it. Canon has more smooth picture on high ISO, but design is very bad, it feels bad in hands and it is very cheap and plasticky. 7)High ISO is the most weak point for this camera. You can use maximum zoom only on sunny days. Also you have to use tripod to get high quality picture. So if camera has good design, good video but cannot make good pictures on high ISO, is it good camera? Yes, if you don't want to take more heavy and expensive camera. You'll get what you pay for.Read full review
I was very familiar with that camera; I need a replacement for mine (was damaged accidentally) . What was better that I expected was the condition of the one I got through ebay. It was not perfect, but in very good condition. The digital display had some minor scratches, but I was able to replace it with my camera's display rather easily. It is refreshing to deal with honest people.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Packed with features and a 600mm zoom for a low price. Good camera to have in your "photography toolbox" or in the backseat of your car for when you need one. Sensor can be grainy, especially at full zoom, but for the cost, you can't beat it.

Bought product because old Olympus ultra zoom had significant shutter lag and missed too many good pics. This camera has better zoom and almost no shutter lag. Very good low light performance without flash. Flash tends to wash out shots. Controls are logical. Menus easy to access. Pivot and tilt LCD screen very good and convenient.
By far the best FZ camera in series yet. The features have been mentioned many times so here's what I loved about it in addition. Threads on the lens and barrel for being able to add filters and aux. lenses. Menu system that follows previous FZ cameras--I've had four now. Ability to use a shutter release cable. Ability to use after market battery. I really can't see where 99.99% of people would even consider a dSLR camera over this Pany. It's just a great camera but like anything you have to take the time to learn its feature and the basics of photography.
