Having fallen in price by a third since its launch late last year, at a street price of less than £300 Panasonic's classic fixed-lens bridge camera is now in serious danger of becoming a bargain. Based on a popular camera design that's enjoyed creepin...

Lowlight images suffer from digital noise.
With the advent of 'micro four-thirds' cameras - a standard that allows compacts with mirrorless, interchangeable lenses - we're not entirely sure what the appeal of 'bridge' cameras are anymore, except to those not wanting to embrace the new tech unti...

At first look, there isn't an awful lot to differentiate the FZ100 from the FZ45 , despite costing a good deal more. Look closer, though, and the differences become clear. Although the 24x zoom lens (25-600mm 35mm equivalent) and 14.1-megapixel sensor ar...
The zoom might not be the longest, but top image quality and performance more than compensate...

On paper, the FZ100 has a great burst mode with framerates of 11 fps at maximum resolution, or even 60 fps at 3.5 Megapixels. During our tests, we only managed to get a burst mode of 11 fps by setting the FZ100 to its lowest available sensitivity, 100...

The Panasonic FZ100 is only just worth its four stars. The poor quality of the photos it produces at sensitivities above 400 ISO is a real disappointment, despite the much-hyped new sensor. It's a good job its other qualities, like a rotating screen, 1...

Like: We were sceptical about the quality of a lens with such an extreme focal length range, but in use we found that it has acceptable sharpness. This is testimony to the quality of the lens and the sheer brilliance of the optical image stabilisation. Ou...
Dislike: Electronic viewfinders have been around for several years and they are not getting any better. This one is a dismal affair which is only useful for framing the picture in bright sunlight when the LCD turns black...
