Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wow...what an amazing and versatile hybrid Stills / 4K Movie Monster, and boasting a 1" sensor and 20x zoom. This large gem does it all and does it all well. I especially like the way Panasonic implements 4K - not only in its extensive video modes, but also in the way it pulls 8mp stills from the video frames, also focus stacking, and the unique post-focus mode. There's a lot to learn and like about this camera. More things to like than not. One caveat - if you're looking for a compact shooter, this one is not the one for you. The FZ2500 is large and heavy. Make sure you test it out, if you can, before buying.

I bought this camera because its Panasonics flagship power zoom camera. It will reach up to 480 mm and has a one inch chip inside. The pictures and 4k video and low light performance will rival a SLR. I am happy with the 4K video and beautiful pictures it can take.

This is a fantastic camera, It has a great build quality. The performance is super fast and produces outstanding pictures and video.

I absolutely love this camera & recommend to ALL. Easy to use and quality pictures!

It's comfortable to use. Frederick, as always did a fine job explaining the workings and features. I am especially attracted to the zoom range eliminating the need to carry lenses.

This camera is an upgrade from my previous bridge camera. I'm very happy with it. Takes great pictures and videos.

If you want excellent quality photos/videos from a camera that is intuitive and easy to use, this is the one for you.

Purchased 6/2018. I always buy the Best Buy extended warranty, but this time I took a pass because Panasonic offered a free 3 year extended warranty. Camera does take great photos. I use it for product photography, and it's always been well cared for. Looks flawless, but I just noticed an internal crack on the lens. As this was 1 month after the standard Panasonic one year warranty had expired, Panasonic referred me to Lumix. Apparently the extended warranty is a separate entity. Well, I have now contacted Lumix via email 3 times in the past month, with not one reply. I have both phoned and had 2 live chats with Panasonic, and they keep referring me back to Lumix. I am told there is no phone number for Lumix, so I'm at their mercy. So, what good is a "free" extended warranty if you can't get anyone to respond to your issue? I spent $1,000 on this camera, and the lens is cracked internally. Not due to anything I did. I can only assume it's from zooming in and out, as research shows me this can be an issue on other cameras. Regardless of what the cause is, the fact that I have not received any reply from Panasonic after numerous attempts is unconscionable. I have two other Lumix cameras, but this experience has soured me for life. Never again Panasonic. Not only for a camera, but for anything they manufacture.

It is kind of a monster to figure out to start. But as in anything the more you use it the easier it gets. Has exceptional picture and video capabilities. The 4k video is why I bought it and I have not been let down. I feel it is the best bridge camera built by a reputable company
