Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100
(August 2010)
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 is a very well specified megazoom bridge camera.
What’s good about the FZ100:
- Astonishingly fast burst mode
- Very versatile zoom from 25mm wide angle up to good telephoto range of 600mm
- Excellent flash range
What’s disappointing:
- Some image noise above ISO 400
Our review rating – 92% – Highly Recommended
