🚀 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

  • 📌 Exceptional value for the price
  • 💡 Great for beginners to learn with
  • 📷 High-quality, detailed photos even at a high zoom
  • 🔄 Functionalities similar to a DSLR, including time-lapse
  • 🔄 Smooth and solid build, easy to handle
  • 💡 Appropriate for a variety of photography scenarios

Cons

  • ❌ Subpar app support
  • 🔋 Poor battery life
  • 🔄 Some difficulties with auto-focus at full zoom
  • 💡 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.


  • Fantastic value bridge camera!
I've been a hobby/amateur photographer for about 10 years now. I went from a simple point and shoot to an early Canon Rebel, which was probably the wrong move in hindsight. Having to switch lenses all the time for a day out with the family for "snaps" got so annoying that I stopped bringing a camera and relied on our phones. Phones can take photos, sure, but unless you're a latest model smartphone user (iphone and pixel) the photos are only ever going to be good enough to share on social media, and *maybe* good enough to print 4x6. I wanted to get back to shooting photos, but I didn't want the hassle of carrying a bunch of gear with me if we were just going to an amusement park, or at a picnic. I looked at Canon bridge/superzoom cameras, (all I had ever owned) but at the 400 dollar range, there was always something about the cameras that I didn't like. Nikon was no better. My sister bought a P900, with it's 600mm zoom, so I looked at that, but I wasn't impressed with the video features (something I have an interest in), the stabilization, lack of hot shoe, and the aperture settings on the lens. Shopping for cameras means compromise. A bridge/superzoom camera is a compromise. You get a small sensor, and you're stuck with the lens that's on it. With the constant f2.8 Leica lens, I started looking hard at the FZ300, and found that it's a VERY popular camera worldwide. Graham Houghton has a ton of tutorial videos on YouTube for the camera, and a user's guide on Amazon that dives super deep into the camera's functions and features. If you want to get creative with photography, and want to have an inexpensive all purpose camera, the Panasonic Lumix FZ300 is an excellent choice. The 4k video is great, but most people will only ever use 1080p. The nice thing about 4k is that it can be downsampled to 1080p to produce super clean video. What is really neat about the FZ300 is the 4k photo mode, which gives you burst photos at 30 frames per second. Great to get action shots of your kid's sports, or wildlife action. Pros: Convenient all in one camera for quick snaps Plenty of "creative" modes Full Manual control for advanced amateurs Fast f2.8 glass 4K video, Photo modes TILTY FLIPPY TOUCHSCREEN. You'll fall in love with this feature. I did. Image stabilization Cons: 12MP is small for 2019, but about max for this sensor size 24mm isn't very wide angle Small sensor (typical with most bridge cameras at this price) High ISO performance is weak (typical for sensor size) Battery and memory card slot on the bottom interferes with tripod quick release (there is a solution) Overall: Fantastic performer for the price. Not as compact as a 100 dollar point and shoot, but a wonderful start to a photography hobby, or for someone who wants a GOOD camera without the headaches of interchangeable lenses. With the addition of the 4K video, it's perfect for someone who is interested in photography and videography. You can step up to the FZ1000 or FZ2500, but you lose zoom range, but gain MP and sensor size, but you're paying DSLR prices for those cameras. If your budget is $1000 and you want a great camera, look at Canon and Nikon APS-C size DSLRs with 2 kit lenses. If your budget is $4-500 you really can't beat this little gem.

  • 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

  • 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
