I gave my FZ200 to my grandson and bought the Z300 to replace it, since I was so pleased with its predecessor. The FZ300 is a solid update with several new features that are very useful. The FZ300 is slightly larger and therefore better equipped for a person with large hands.

This camera is great! Takes amazing pictures so far! With lots of extras, it was a great price!

I've been a full-time professional photographer for 30 years, so in some ways I have no business evaluating a consumer-level product. But I needed a new back-up, video-capable, camera so I gave this one a shot. I interviewed 50 exhibitors at a two-day makeup convention in LA.

Good all around camera.

Easy To Use; Fast/accurate auto-focus; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; Good in Low Light; Great Zoom; Large Clear LCD; Nice Body Color; Short Lag Time

None

I use this to record backcountry canoe trips for YouTube. Love it. TONS of features/options for advanced users, great standard modes for beginners. Does everything that I want it to.

Top 5 rated camera... Really good features n performance... Best for sports and outdoors. Good low light performance... Entry-level DSLR no match to this model.

This camera has given me the ability to take photos that I had no idea I could take. It was highly recommended by our local camera store manager. I was just looking for something to zoom onto nature but not spend a lot of money on a mirrorless camera.

Great product!!#sweepstakes

When friends or family ask me if they should get a point-and-shoot or if their smartphone is good enough, my answer basically comes down to whether they need a camera with a superzoom lens or need one that is rugged.

The Panasonic Lumix FZ300 has a best-in-class 24x f2.8 25-600mm lens; excellent photo and video quality for a small-sensor compact; extensive shooting mode and setting options; comfortable body and control layout; its body is weather resistant; and it records great-looking 4K video that can also be...

The controls and setting navigation may be overwhelming if you're used to "leaving it in Auto." Because of the lens, it is bigger -- and more expensive -- than other small-sensor cameras with comparable zoom ranges; No headphone jack

Superzoom cameras like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300 ($599.99) are attractive options for photographers who want the versatility of a very long zoom range along with the ergonomics of an SLR, but don't want to carry an interchangeable lens camera and a few lenses.

24x zoom lens with f/2.8 aperture; All-weather build; Excellent EVF; Vari-angle touch-screen display; Very fast autofocus; 12.4fps burst shooting; Strong high ISO images for its class; Raw image capture; 4K video

Expensive; Large-sensor superzooms offer better image quality; Zoom range isn't as ambitious as others
