Product Overview

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300 is a 1/2.3" compact camera with a large zoom range. Introduced by Panasonic in 2015, it comes with a 1/2.3" sensor with 12 MP (4000 x 3000) resolution and a 1.44 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. The 12.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.

The DMC-FZ300 comes with a fully articulated touch display. Panasonic has endowed this compact camera with a 24x zoom lens, which can be quite useful for travels. Last but not least, the camera can focus quite close to the subject.
