About the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 Bridge Camera

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 is a bridge camera built around a standout lens: a 24x Leica DC Vario-Elmarit zoom with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture from 25mm wide-angle to 600mm telephoto. That bright aperture keeps shutter speeds up and backgrounds soft even at full zoom, where most bridge cameras slow to f/5.6 or darker. A 12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor and Venus Engine processor deliver detailed stills and Full HD 1080p video, while Power OIS steadies handheld shots. A 1,312k-dot electronic viewfinder, a 3-inch free-angle LCD and a hot shoe make it a versatile all-in-one for travel, wildlife and everyday photography.
