Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 reviewed: the right megazoom shooter your dough should purchase

Panasonic and superzoom cameras go together like… well, like all two things which can be undoubtedly meant to be together. The company has a history of outdoing itself time and time again in terms of enlarged point-and-shoots with atypically long zooms, and the all-new DMC-FX100 is most definitely not bucking the rage. Announced only some weeks back, this here Lumix carries a 24x optical zoom, 11fps burst mode, 1080p movie recording and a 14 megapixel sensor. The gurus over at PhotographyBLOG had been testing its every feature for the past few days, and they drew some rather positive conclusions. Confessing that the FZ38 was a difficult act to follow, they still felt that the FZ100 managed to top even that, with the only (expected) knock being the noise that made itself too evident if you pushed beyond the ISO 400 mark. In addition they felt that the $499.95 asking price was a little on the high side, but now that Panny’s building somewhat of a reputation in this space, we guess it’s entitled to attempt and take advantage. Hit the source link for the fully skinny, but don’t even bother in case you’re hoping for someone to chat you out of pulling the trigger.
