Powerful Photographic Instrument
on October 31, 2023
Posted by: David L.
I have used this camera for several years and three previous iterations of the model before. It started out as a second camera with my DSLR as a primary. Over time I find myself using this camera more and more as a primary camera. It is great for travel and mature photography with it's long zoom, many filter modes and its clear Leica glass. I am thinking about downsizing and selling my bulky DSLR and lenses because I always find myself reaching for this outstanding camera.

FZ300 Overall Positive
on January 17, 2024
Posted by: Don N.
Great camera at a very fair price until it wasn't. Long zoom range at F2.8 is quite remarkable. Multi-shot setting combined with Aurora HDR editing software in post enabled small sensor to punch above its weight class. Screen & EVF are now blacked out like there is a lens cap on. They still show setting information and menu options, so I assume the sensor or motherboard died after 6 (good) years of use. I considered upgrading to the 1" sensor superzoom, but they are getting old and are due for an update.

Amazing, well-rounded performance

I bought my DMC-FZ300 new in June 2020, so it's been going strong for over four years. Originally it was going to be my convenience camera when I didn't feel like getting out my DSLR; my DSLR hasn't been out of the bag since I bought this little workhorse. This thing is rugged and versatile. Image quality is amazing with studio lights, natural lighting, low light, night mode, flash, macro, telephoto, stills, video. Downsides? Controls are not super intuitive but with frequent use I've gotten better at using them. With a roller on the side instead of a focus ring, follow focus and pull focus are really difficult, if not impossible. Still a five-star review for the value and performance it offers.

My go-to camera

I have other cameras, but this is the one I use most often. Utilize its strong points (constant aperture, raw capture), respect its limits, and it will work overtime for you.
I would recommend this to a friend!
