Panasonic outs the Lumix FZ300, a superzoom 4K camera
In case that GX8 flagship mirrorless camera is too much for you, Panasonic has prepared another announcement for today. Enter the Lumix FZ300, a feature-packed superzoom that can do many things. The main highlight here is, not surprisingly, the 24x optical zoom, but the FZ300 is also capable of capturing 4K (3,840 x 2,160) at both 24 and 30 fps -- which will make it an appealing option for people who are interested in shooting video. Powering the FZ300 is a 12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor, the same Venus Engine image processor as the new GX8, an ISO range of 6400 and a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 25mm, f/2.8 ultra-wide lens (a 25-600mm equivalent at 35mm). Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until October to get your hands on the FZ300, which is expected to be priced at $600.
