Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ60

Pretty good for a camera a supposed #2 among Panasonic superzooms

Priced lower than FZ200 with many of the same features, Surprising depth of manual control

Zoom is a bit short by today’s outlandish standards, Lots of competition with better features, longer zooms, or lower prices

For the model that’s the lesser of Panasonic’s two new FZ-series superzooms, the FZ60 is a pretty impressive camera. It doesn’t match the zoom range of the class-leading ultrazooms anymore, but it does seem to offer solid image quality, based on our...

Panasonic Lumix FZ60 / FZ62

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ60, or Lumix DMC-FZ62 as it's known outside North America, is a 16.1 Megapixel super-zoom camera with a 24x stabilised optical zoom. Announced in July 2012, it replaces the Lumix FZ47 / FZ48. Like its predecessor, the Lumix...

Great image quality at base ISO ; Excellent high ISO noise performance ; Programmable Fn buttons ; New Creative control filters

Narrower zoom range than rivals ; Disappointing burst shooting ; No RAW mode ; Fixed non-articulated LCD screen

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ60

The FZ60 falls under the FZ200 as the new mid-range superzoom in the Lumix lineup. An update to the FZ47, the FZ60 uses the same 24x zoom seen in both the FZ150 and FZ47, but behind the lens now lies a 16.1 megapixel MOS sensor. Low-light quality...

Panasonic Lumix FZ60 Review

I remember some years ago lusting after a (then) new Kodak (remember them?) digicam that had a 10x zoom. Wow! I thought what photographic horizons it would conquer.

Qualiy camera for boating adventure

I use this primarily on my boat while cruising coastal waters. I find the zoom very good for birds and small animals along the shore. I never miss a shot when using point and shoot auto features, the camera produces clear, sharp photos at all focal...

Better image quality than FZ47

I had owned the Lumix FZ47 and it was a great camera. Although, anything beyond ISO 400 showed a good deal of noise, which I probably par with a 1/2sensor. The FZ60 uses a CMOS sensor compared to the CCD of the FZ47 and I feel this provides a better...

fz60

After using the FZ38 for a few years and liking it I decided to buy the FZ60. I was happy with the pics and video. The built in microphone is sensitive and gathers sound very well. The sound of zooming the lens in and out can be heard quite loudly when...
