The Panasonic DMC-FZ72EG-K Lumix Digital Camera (7.5 cm (3 inch) screen, 16.1 megapixels, 60x opt. Zoom, Super Zoom, Full HD) black I've gained as a supplement despite existing DSLR & System Cameras , Why is immediately explained. No other camera I had such a wide range of focal lengths available. I was a long time in search of a long focal length for my camera (s). But at 300 (450) mm is simple conclusion. Either it will be extremely expensive or extremely unwieldy (650-1300 in addition still plenty of aberrations supplies). Then a few more tests with converter. Handy is not really, as well as the means always Lens Converter from pure. Also not quite what the family expected on holiday, especially when the problems due to dust. AF usually no longer go because the total opening is too small. In the system there is no longer so if you can not solidify into stone image stabilization, desperately needs a tripod. These are all reasons that limit. The choice fell on the Panasonic FZ72 for the really huge zoom range. From 20 mm (KB) is otherwise to have nothing and to 1200 already equal to no. One point deduction because: - The image quality but rather drops in comparison to system camera. But that is purely subjective and based in my situation - It roars conspicuously in the press - The possibilities of Blendenausahl is very limited (. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200EG9 Digital Camera (12 Megapixel, 24x optical zoom, 7.6 cm (3 inch) display, Super Zoom, Full HD video) black) would have brought more here) ,
How far can you take advantage of the long focal length without a tripod is highly dependent on the light, but you will be amazed what the image stabilizer helps but.
Overall, the camera is a good complement to existing equipment for all the cases where it is not about photography and more about "snapping", but not as much can be dragged. It must be bright enough and is more about memory than images to enlargements.
I can recommend the camera also all those who use a compact camera but would be willing to take a little more (no longer fits in your pocket). It is affordable, there is the possibility to use RAW format, and you can also adjust a lot manually. Even the DMF function can be simulated.
Despite the four points a strong buy recommendation for the outlined area of application!
