Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 (Lumix DMC-FZ2000)

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500/FZ2000 is a enthusiast bridge camera with a strong emphasis on video capabilities, and it presents unique capture features not available in other cameras of its kind. The camera produces outstanding 4K video quality, however, it comes with a notable crop factor that affects the wide end of the lens. As for still image quality, it is satisfactory, although it is hindered by a mediocre lens and a JPEG engine that could benefit from improvement.
