That is HD video albeit at the low end, but HD all the same. Fujifilm has made several superzooms with 2/3" or 1/1.6" sensors over the years. @BJL: we all agree on the "high usable ISO" of the Olympus OMD E-M5. Thanks to its Intelligent Resolution technology, the FZ70 can extend the zoom ratio up to 120X equivalent while maintaining the picture quality. It has full 720p at 50/60p. Same camera & specs with 1/1.7" sensor please. In addition, the maximum aperture is 36mm (at the long end), which is also impressive for a P&S camera. My eye-sight is not what it was, and fixed LCD's are problematic in sunlight, so a decent viewfinder or tilting bright screen is very important to me.Fixed LCD = negative for ground level workThe minimum shutter speed [if true] at 8 sec ?? If the image quality is reasonable up to ISO400 and good enough for prints up to A4, this will be a great travel camera. What!? The LUMIX FZ80 long zoom camera is an "All-Rounder" that everyone can enjoy. The 1080 video quality, the high-speed video, and the many other advanced features are great features as well. So I expect the long end of this lens to produce some images that are more than good enough fine for displaying on a computer or posting on a website, Flickr, Facebook and such. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for travel and recommended the best. The POWER O.I.S. Chris and Jordan from DPReview TV also shot a gallery with the lens, but on Panasonic bodies. It boasts crystal clear audio due to a unique microphone that eliminates ambient noise and wind sound with the stunning clarity of Dolby® Digital. That's a lot of effort for $399. That gives me 840mm on the FZ200. In a couple of years time, this will be THE combination photo and video camera that today's minimum wage "photo-video journalists" will be using for shooting stuff for the NBC Nightly News. The future is phone cameras and FF DSLRS. I agree that their LCD and optical resolutions are behind times: Larry. From 20mm wide-angle for breathtaking landscapes to an amazing 60X zoom to capture far off moments, the FZ80’s … Even worse, there is no focusing ring and no zoom ring on the lens, and not even a small servo zoom toggle switch on the lens. This item Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ70 16.1 MP Digital Camera with 60x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3-Inch LCD (Black) Panasonic LUMIX FZ300 Long Zoom Digital Camera Features 12.1 Megapixel, 1/2.3-Inch Sensor, 4K Video, WiFi, Splash & Dustproof Camera Body, LEICA DC 24X F2.8 Zoom … The Leica Q2 Monochrom is a version of the Gold Award-winning Q2 that only shoots images in black and white. Something like 18-150-ish on an APS-C with good pricing due to the package deal would be great. While the FZ70 offers a bright F2.8-5.9 lens, it’s the new 16.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor that cuts noise by 10-15% and dramatically improves images in high-sensitivity shooting. Such huge front lenses would rather admit a larger sensor, instead of an useless megazoom.. Do you think a portable 1" camera or so with 21-135 as fast as possible wouldn't sell ? We threw one onto the Sony a7R IV and went out shooting. like how Fujifilm does with the X100. I decided to get the SX50 when I saw how I believe a $12,000 camera and lens taking the same picture and the SX50 was better since it had 1200mm compared to 600 mm. The performance of phone cameras can never beat this baby. If Panasonic could get these into the big box stores (Best buy) they'd have no problem selling tons of them... @ Don051348: I cannot seem to find ANY Panasonic Lumix cameras at my local Best Buys -- maybe this one will be the first one they will carry? The LUMIX FZ80 long zoom camera is an "All-Rounder" that everyone can enjoy. But of course takes some skills and good technique, can't really expect anything great shooting on auto and handheld at @1200mm, Can be argued of course, but i do think that current small sensors are quite usable for small prints even up at 1600iso. * Soft Focus cannot be used in video recording. Worth about $399, more or less, right? Stabilization, Touch Enabled 3-Inch LCD, Wi-Fi, DC … This is review zoom test of Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ72 / FZ70 which has the largest zoom ever created 60x. Canon should take note of these omissions. It's a niche (and pricey) product to be sure, but so far we find it to be well-designed and capable of outstanding results. I just uploaded 3 pictures I took 7-15-2013 in an album. PLU: … pulsar123: One word: Birds. Nothing to like here much with this Lumix DMC-FZ70, sorry. Re: 20-1200mm zoom, I'm waiting for this crazy lens technology to make it into the SLR space - that is, hoping for small and lightweight Bigma alternatives. You have to choose. Shooting at 20mm UWA with F2.8 iris seems to be the solitary cause for joy with the DMC-FZ70. The new Laowa 15mm F4.5 Shift lens lets you go wide with perspective control. But Panasonic did not give that to the FZ70. (Optical Image Stabilizer) effectively suppresses hand-shake vibration. I agree that 1200 mm zoom is useful for birds, but you usually do not need that long lens for large mammals. @Ghostboo, I agree partly about the coming FZ250 os so.I don't see a bigger sensor but a much improved sensor quality of the same size then FZ200 (the technological development in sensor is phenomenal and the competition is huge). With F2.8-5.9 lens brightness, both video and photos will appear bright under low light conditions. Panasonic announces Lumix DMC-FZ70 with 60x optical zoom, http://www.dpreview.com/news/2011/11/24/fujifilmxs1, PPE 2013: Hands-on with Panasonic's newest cameras, Light raises $30M and provides update on L16 multi-lens camera, Now with 4K: Fujifilm X-T2 offers 24MP, improved AF and video specs, Sigma 65mm F2 DG DN Sample Gallery (DPReview TV), Sigma 35mm F2 DG DN Sample Gallery (DPReview TV), Review: Monogram Creative Console - a refinement of our favorite modular editing hardware. Side-by-side with the FZ60, the size difference in the lens is immediately obvious. Something very close is the Sony RX100 however both zoom range AND aperture are not adequate, but at least they tried. It weighs a small fraction of my Canon 5D with the 70-200mm, L, mounted on it. These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both speed and focus for capturing fast action and offer professional-level image quality. (I did this with an E-M5 in its 2x digital zoom mode and the 75-300/4.8-6.7 lens at 300mm.). I was waiting for the day they would reach the same 60 x optical zoom of a camcorder, but starting at 20mm IS INSANE! ), but then you can't have an f2.8 at that focal length (without enlarging the lens diameter considerably, which would make the camera a much bigger and heavier one). Recording video with the FZ70 is easy, but what’s really amazing is its ability to capture audio clearly. Sony's new Visual Story app for iOS promises event and wedding photographers a variety of useful tools, designed to simplify their workflow and enhance their business. Most people won't print more than A4 if they ever do. There is no special lens technology involved here. The 35mm F2 DG DN is the standard prime in the group of new Sigma I-series lenses. The camera hits a competitive price point at $399, and it seems that some concessions were made in build quality to hit that number. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ82 super-zoom camera (also known as the DMC-FZ80) features a massive 60x zoom lens with a focal range of 20-1200mm. Where do you go from here camera makers? While they were out shooting their video about Sigma's new lenses, Chris and Jordan filled up a memory card with photos from the 35mm F2 DG DN using Panasonic bodies. Yeah, the bottom end point and shoot cameras are going away in favor of camera phones, but there still seems to be plenty of room for superzooms, travelzooms, enthusiast compacts, and interchangeable lens cameras built around M4/3 and APS-C sensors. lingo of the press release notwithstanding. (:-( I'll pay more money for these desirable features. Monogram's Creative Console allows you to build out a customized set of physical controls to speed up your editing workflow. With a 1.8x squeeze, the lens produces a more pronounced anamorphic effect than the 1.33x lenses offered by Sirui, albeit at a much higher cost. Right you are. Unfortunately what you want isn't what most want... that niche has been covered by small mirrorless cameras now. Color. sensor cameras, on the other end. I have purchased a Canon 1.4X video telephoto converter, auto-focus, that mounts on the front of the lens to give me a total zoom of 840mm. Or more generally wildlife. mmmwhy camera makers can't find a way to make a 21-135 mm (20/200, 18/180 you name it, you choose it) camera with a large sensor ? Yes, I would agree with other that this is a gimmick. (and it's quite a challenge to get it right each time also, unlike the panorama mode....and of course, it also lacks the combination with Casio's lovely poppy HDR-Art). @ moscHow about X-S1 albeit >$500.http://www.dpreview.com/news/2011/11/24/fujifilmxs1. I am sold. That’s why the LUMIX DMC-FZ70 is packed full of the best multimedia technologies Panasonic makes. I can think situations where it might come in handy. I don't carry my full-frame Canon, the bag of L lenses, and the 25-pound tripod around anymore (unless there is a need for that, or if I have to impress someone, or to silence some of the folks who are on their high horses because they think no one else owns a DSLR, and quick to criticize cameras they have never used). I mean that's 50% bigger. Personally I think that even shooting at "only" 10x, unassisted by something like a tripod, is sailing very close to the wind. If 20-1200mm is posible, with decent consumer-grade images, then anything from 14-100mm or even 14-200mm should be possible....or 17-135mm or 17-300mm. @ Thomas22: "I've personally found M4/3 to be an excellent compromise on size versus performance and flexibility, and have no desire to go from my GH2 to a bulky, full-sized full frame DSLR.". I can see the individual pixels in the built-in viewfinder. But a link with Wifi to your phone or pad equipped with GPS could be possible. Better to evolve the smaller sensors than try making a camera that is too large to be compact, but still no-where near the level of something like a Nikon V or m4/3. What's the best camera for travel? I have had the FZ200 for about a year now. So, for the record, this makes the third-ever digicam with a decent wideangle, after the Casio Tryx and Samsung WB210 (both 21mm, although the calculating proof is a pesky task, being 3.8/Samsung vs 4.0mm/Casio). don't give a poop about wideangle....8-)). yeah, seriously. A special, separate button on the top lets you instantly start recording videos while shooting photos without having to make any extra changes. The Canon EOS Rebel T8i (also known as the EOS 850D or Kiss X10i in some markets) is a 24MP DSLR aimed at first-time DSLR buyers and enthusiasts. For a m43 sized sensor, you need a 600mm lens - look up how big those are. Chris and Jordan take a look at the new Sigma 35mm F2 and 65mm F2. I have my old FZ50. With f/5.9 at the long end and image stabilization, plenty of daylight shots will not need high ISO speeds. This brings us back to the real blockbuster feature on the Panasonic Lumix FZ72: the humongous 60x optical zoom. Only tentative alternative: Samsung Galaxy NX, with 12-24mm (18-26mm eq), and trying to figure out whether Android can do this panorama + HDR-Art combination. Tamron has announced its 17-70mm F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lens for Sony APS-C bodies. Point and Shoot Long Zoom Camera: 18.1 megapixel MOS sensor plus 60X zooms DC Vario lens (20 1220 millimetre and Power O.I.S. Pentax has not jumped to the opportunity to provide a superzoom lens for the Q system and the reason is clear: the Q system is all about small size and a 20x zoom would not be that small even if it would be technically quite possible. PS: the super-wideangle stitching concept of Casio ZR200/ZR300 is crap; you don't get anything rectangular, just the full fisheye-distortion. They are compromise devices and very good ones at that. * As of its introduction July 18th for long zoom bridge digital cameras. 11. Are you expecting 4K? Long zoom demand and sales have never been higher, witness the plethora of models available compared too only a few several years ago. At 1200mm equiv. Pansonic's LX series have multi exposure (up to 3 images), so i have to wonder why it's not available in their bridge cameras. Aren't you being a bit harsh? The FZ70 more than doubles the zoom reach of its 24x Lumix DMC-FZ60 predecessor, which it effectively replaces. It's a motoyrized superzoom not bridge-cam not SLR-like. and according to optyczne.pl, it isn't even sharper at F/33 than F/47. 20mm Ultra Wide Angle Lens with Super Telephoto 60x Optical Zoom** Yields 1200mm Shooting and High Speed Response, *As a digital camera as of July 18, 2013*35mm camera equivalent: 20-1200mm. Even though obviously a gimmick (I can't image what one would want to shoot at 1200mm equivalent FL; this is the domain for telescopes, with their massive stable tripods and star tracking motors), the lens's FL range is quite impressive from a lens designer's point of view. The Creative Video Mode lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture any way you like when shooting videos. I'm also looking for a successor to my beat-up FZ35, but would gladly trade off the FZ70's increased zoom range for the FZ200's constant aperture. 70% compared to prior models. I don't think anyone have been crazy enough to do a lens like this even on micro-4/3 (it would be a 10-600mm zoom lens). And the fact that Panasonic insists folks in 2013 still want to shoot interlaced video makes the FZ70 a non-starter for many of us. Sorry, this product is currently not available at any of our online partners. Yongnuo, makers of lenses, cameras and other photo accessories, has filed a patent for a modular mirrorless camera system. An optional optical lens adapter can further extend the FZ70s range. For audio, the camera apparently has no external audio input jack, making do instead with a "built-in windshield" over the pinhead mic that is supposed to improve the SNR, but I am not biting without hearing the results first. I'm amazed how close you need to be to get a good closeup of a small bird. This unique microphone even zooms with the optical zoom to more precisely zero in on the audio coming from your subject. In the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode, the camera does all the work, leaving you free to compose shots and capture moments in both photo and video recording. (Optical Image Stabiliser) effectively suppresses hand-shake vibration at the tele-end, and realizes handheld 1200mm super telephoto shooting.
