The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 a feature-packed super-zoom that offers almost unlimited fast fire shooting opportunities, and a 24x zoom. It fits all of parents who want their children open to close-ups of photo enthusiasts with the aim to capture stunning panoramas. It will cost approximately 400.

The echoes FZ100 Panasonic’s own G-Series Micro Four Thirds cameras in functions and layout. With strong competition in the recently launched super zoom sector, with 14.1-megapixel Panasonic animal so special?

For starters, not many of its competitors, with the exception of the Fuji FinePix and Nikon Coolpix P100 HS10 offer such expansive set of features and will remain so user friendly, fast and reliable. Granted, you’re paying for it. To about 400, the FZ100 is currently more expensive than both Fujifilm and Nikon models. Despite their higher price, but lacks the massive FZ100 manual zoom and focus rings of the HS10. If a large zoom is not your chief priority, a similarly priced entry-level SLR camera with a standard lens kit might be a better bet.

Like those rival cameras FZ100 a top plate mounted stereo microphone offers an accessory hot shoe for an external flash or better quality microphone and a 1080p video-record button. There is also an adjustable LCD screen and an electronic viewfinder. Instead, the HS10 eye sensor has a dedicated FZ100 button to swap between the two.

The 76mm (3″), you can monitor with 460,000 pixels up or tilted down, turned at right angles to the body, or turned inward for added protection. The LCD can be turned over to the subject, which is an added bonus for group portraits where the photographer wants to squeeze profit in the face. In view of the flexible shooting, the FZ100 over the competition. There is also a built-in flash pop-up variety, with a dedicated side-mounted button for manual activation.

The FZ100 Chunky’s construction, if a bit plasticky in control succeeds, it will feel both light and robust. The camera weighs only 539g with an SD, SDHC or SDXC card and battery. However, if used, enables its grasp proportioned manfully handle three fingers comfortably. We were quite amazed by the sound of the lens rattles around in its housing, if we went about the FZ100 in an inactive state. This camera is called does not fit in your pocket, so there is a “compact” seems somewhat misleading.

More positively, a take from the top-mounted ‘on’ switch, the FZ100 for the first shot in just over 2 seconds. His recording mode dial is cluttered with options – 14 in total. They range from program, shutter-priority, shutter priority and manual options for point-and-shoot-subject recognition modes such as “Intelligent Auto”. Optimized scene, custom and “My Color” modes, the gap between them. The dial is only strong enough to not accidentally running the camera from one setting to another when transporting it.

Not surprisingly, the FZ100 takes over like a cross between a compact snapshot and a full DSLR. Before the advent of the mirror-less Micro Four Thirds hybrid models, made this kind of super-zoom bridge between the two types of camera.

Instead of using a back-mounted thumb switches, the Whopper of an ergonomic lever actuated by a trigger encirclement of the zoom. In practice, the image-stabilized lens takes just over 3 seconds to get the maximum from extreme wide-angle telephoto, sound-tracked by a low mechanical buzz. The range is the equivalent of 28-600mm in 35mm film terms. His relatively peaceful transitions to ensure that, unlike the X90 Pentax or Olympus SP-800UZ, the optical can be used for recording video with sound, used in addition to still images zoom.

Many of the user-friendly, time-saving features of Lumix’s bottom point-and-shoot models make an appearance on the FZ100. A little “Quick Menu” button provides a shortcut to an on-screen toolbar on the main settings, such as color effects, and image size.

Video recording begins with pressing the special top-mounted button, the 1080p movies with the inserted flash memory or 40MB of internal memory commits. In practice, the ability to suddenly jump from shooting stills to video without a control knob to the right and change the settings provides a greater chance of receiving spontaneous moments. Stills are good, but despite the FZ100 is first-rate, 11 frames per second shooting, many will opt for a video, when it comes to action scenes.

So what the FZ100 image quality? First the bad news: this Lumix is not a star performer in low-light conditions without flash – and not because of the usual Super Zoom problem of camera shake, but is because, according to pictures on ISO 400 to build. Compared to its competitors, shows the FZ100 under-performance.

As expected, it is possible to find instances of converging lines and barrel distortion when shooting at maximum wide angle setting, although individuals hide it better than hard-edged structures. Pixel fringing is also present, although, again, that’s well hidden. Since we have found with other models in the range that FZ100 warm and colorful results delivered directly from the camera. The results need to save little post, perhaps to add brightness and contrast a little more pressure.

Conclusion

The larger the zoom, you have at your disposal, the more options you have for photography. While the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 offers 24x optical zoom’s range falls short of the 30x HS10 Fujifilm and Olympus SP-800UZ Zoom, is its biggest drawback costs. You pay a premium for convenience and consistency with the FZ100. We enjoyed the camera and were satisfied with their results, but there are better options at that price.
