Panasonic DMC-FZ100 review, find out how the DMC-FZ100 stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.
The super-zoom compact camera market is a hotly-contested one, with offerings from all the big manufacturers. Panasonic have updated their range for 2010 with the introduction of the DMC-FZ100, an all-singing, all-dancing successor to the popular FZ38 model. Key highlights include a 24x zoom, large free-angle LCD, full HD movies, 11fps burst shooting, fast RAW mode and a 14 megapixel sensor. Read the world's first online Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 Review to find out if it can beat its rivals.
Competent, well featured, easy to use big zoom bridge model. Feels expensive, though fierce competition is sure to witness a more realistic £50 drop
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100
Straight up this camera ticks most of my boxes! A swinging LCD screen IMHO is a must and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 has a beauty: 7.6cm, with a high res count of 460,000 pixels; it rotates 180 degrees horizontally and 270 vertically. The MOS sensor has 14.1 megapixels and maximum image size of 4320×3240 pixels,
Panasonic has a very clear and distinct mission and priority for its LUMIX digital cameras: superior image quality. Without image quality, what use is the digital camera? With its newest introductions of LUMIX point-and-shoot digital camera models, Panasonic continues to strive for premium image quality—both in capturing still and moving images, and with the addition of some big and powerful features.
A capable advanced digicam with a 24x zoom lens and support for Full HD video recording with stereo soundtracks.The Lumix DMC-FZ100 takes its place at the top of Panasonic's FZ series of digicams, which are designed for photo enthusiasts and support raw file capture. Slotting in above the FZ35 (which we reviewed in November, 2009), it extends the zoom range and adds Full HD recording with stereophonic soundtracks.
