Product Overview

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 is a premium 1″ compact camera with a large zoom range. Introduced by Panasonic in 2016, it comes with a 1" sensor with 20 MP (5472 x 3648) resolution and a 2.36 million-dot EVF.

The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. One should note that the Lumix DMC-FZ2500 has a 125 base ISO, which is not conducive to getting the cleanest images. The 12.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.

The Lumix DMC-FZ2500 (DMC-FZ2000) comes with a fully articulated touch display and 49 autofocus points. Panasonic has endowed this compact camera with a 20x zoom lens, which can be quite useful for travels. Last but not least, the camera can focus quite close to the subject.
