🚀 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.


  • 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

  • Great Small Sensor Camera
WARNING: Lengthy review ahead! This camera has officially become one of my go to cameras for work and for fun. I normally use a Pentax K-50 or Sony Nex 5n. When traveling, I use a Sony HX90v and RX100m3. I found this camera while looking for 4K capable cameras to use for my YouTube channel. As you can see, I was mainly a hardcore Sony fan, but this camera persuaded me to try another brand. Thankful that I did. It has close to the zoom that the Sony HX90v has. Fully zoomed the HX90v has around ~700mm reach (35mm equivalent) and this camera is about ~600mm reach. 100mm isn't much from my experience to truly make a huge difference. One thing that this camera has that I love about it, that the HX90v doesn't have. Is the ability to shoot RAW files. Which is something I can get from my RX100m3 and my DSLR/Mirrorless. Now, this isn't going to beat the image quality that the RX100m3 or K50/5n give since the sensor is very small in comparison. Going back to the camera now. It is weather resistant to a degree (Truthfully, I never push weather resistance to hard.). Which for price is a huge plus for traveling and being an active outdoor photographer. The 12.1 Megapixel rating may turn people away from this when they hear other cameras having 18+ or now some being 24+. Though really, from experience, if you're going to post on Facebook, or any other social media or even print the 4x6/8x10 style prints. Then 12.1 Megapixels is more than enough. To be fair, those 4K TVs (this records in 4K too) are about 8 Megapixels, with 1080p being around 2 Megapixels. So after letting that sink in, don't let it worry you to much. How does video stack up? Video works pretty well, I managed to get great quality video out of this camera. I bought a mic that is $36 from amazon and now its audio is even better. Plus this camera records in 4K, which is a big plus since my other cameras listed only record in 1080p max (K50 unsure, never use it to record). Now before I get ahead of myself, realistically it'd be nice to record at 4K 60FPS. Sadly this camera doesn't record at 60FPS, instead it records at 30fps and 24fps (4K that is). Like I said, I bought this for YouTube videos and thats perfect really. I truly see this camera replacing my HX90v and RX100m3 on traveling. Though I don't know exactly how it performs at low light, I know it's going to be weaker performance than my other cameras minus the HX90v, which has the same sized sensor. Now a quick summary If you're looking for a fun camera that gives great photos, and great videos buy this. If you want a 4K camera, buy this. Weather Resistant camera needed for travel? You guessed it, buy this. ... show more

  • 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.
