Expert review by : Amy Davies (techradar.com)

Panasonic Lumix FZ72 review

 

World's longest zoom range… but it does it deliver decent images?

60x zoom ; Raw format shooting ; Full manual control

No Wi-Fi ; No touchscreen ; Low resolution, small EVF

Scores The bridge camera market is one that is continuing to perform well, amid a general downturn in compact camera sales.

  (Rating Hidden)

Do you want to get closer to the action? With its massive 60x optical zoom, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 can take you there. It's a feature-packed bridge camera with a zoom that kicks sand in the face of other so-called superzooms, and effective image...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 Review

 

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 was announced in July 2013 and is a bridge camera which has a 60x optical zoom lens. At the moment this is the most amount of zoom you'll find on a digital camera. If this isn't enough for you there is an optional tele...

Lots of optical zoom, Feature packed, Excellent battery life, Decent image quality, Plenty of buttons for the experienced user, Teleconverter available for additional zoom

Shooting slows down after just a few shots in some of the continuous shooting modes, The number of buttons may overwhelm a novice, Video quality suffers as you zoom in

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70

 

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 packs a long zoom and an attractive price tag, but omits some of the refinements found on pricier models.

60x zoom lens. 20mm wide-angle coverage. Good image detail at high ISOs. Speedy focus. Integrated EVF and hot shoe. Raw shooting support.

Rear LCD and EVF could be sharper. Very limited burst shooting. No EVF eye sensor. Lacks microphone input. No Wi-Fi. HD video limited to 1080i60 or 1080p30.

The FZ70 doesn't include Wi-Fi or a GPS. The former is integrated into just about every camera released today, and the latter is not uncommon on long zoom cameras that are likely to be utilized for travel. If transferring images on the go is a must,...
