Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ60 Review

 

If you like a lot of dedicated buttons and manual controls at your fingertips, but don't want to spend the money for an interchangeable lens camera, the DMC-FZ60 will likely fit your hand like a glove. Its powerful 24X zoom, optical image stabilization...

Burst mode speeds are limited ; Autofocus is not always precise ; High-definition video does not look extremely sharp ; High ISO settings can look noisy ; EVF resolution (202,000 dots) is not very sharp

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ62 Review

 

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ62 (also known as the DMC-FZ60) is a new super-zoom bridge camera featuring a wide-angle 24x zoom lens and 16 megapixel MOS image sensor. Successor to the year-old FZ48 model, the Panasonic FZ62 compact also offers a 3-inch...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ62 is a modest but solid upgrade of last year's FZ48 model, principally adding more megapixels, much faster burst shooting, expanded ISO range and more creative effects. While image quality exceeds its predecessor, despite the...

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 DMC-FZ62

 

Updated with video: A mid-range superzoom that's easy to use and has good image quality.

Quality build and feel, Versatile focal range, Strong overall image quality

Aspect ratio of monitor results in wasted screen space, Lack of Raw capture, Claimed 10fps only good for three consecutive shots

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ60

 

The FZ60 offers a lengthy optical zoom in a well-featured package, but image purists won't be satisfied with just JPEG capture and a steep price.

24x optical zoom ; Images have good colour rendition ; Good quality sound from the built-in microphone ; Very fast autofocus

No automatic detector to switch between EVF and screen ; JPEG only ; Has the tendency to overexpose photos and video

If you are forking out for a premium-priced superzoom camera, you might as well save up a little more and spend it on the FZ200, which gives you a fast and constant lens at f/2.8, as well as RAW capture.

REVIEW—PANASONIC LUMIX DMC-FZ60]

 

This 16 megapixel “bridge” camera has a 25–600mm Leica-branded lens with f2.8–5.2 aperture. It is fitted with an electronic viewfinder and a fixed position LCD. The lens is image stabilised, as it needs to be with such extreme telephoto extension. All...

Picture quality is generally good, although resolution falls off slightly at extreme telephoto. Video quality is excellent with the Active Mode stabilisation smoothing out walking-with-camera sequences. Playback from the SD card through a Panasonic...

The electronic viewfinder is not up with the best of the breed in colour, contrast and resolution. It is handy for framing in bright light but does not give an accurate representation of the subject ; VERDICT: There was a time when we were scornful of...

There was a time when we were scornful of these super zoom pseudo SLRs. The viewfinders were woeful. The shutter lag was so extreme that it was impossible to capture moving subjects. And on some models the EVF blacked out when the shutter button was...
