About this model
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 is a superzoom bridge camera built for reach. Its 60x optical zoom lens spans an ultra-wide 20mm to a huge 1200mm equivalent, so one camera covers landscapes, portraits, wildlife and distant subjects without changing lenses. The 16.1-megapixel sensor and optical image stabilisation help keep handheld shots sharp, especially at long focal lengths, and the camera records Full HD 1080p video. A 3-inch rear LCD and electronic viewfinder make framing easy in bright light, while the DSLR-style body gives a comfortable grip and straightforward controls for travel, nature and family photography.
