Bridging the gap between high-end compacts and digital SLRs, Panasonic's DMC-FZ200 offers a level of control close to that of an SLR, but without the hassle of lens changing and complicated settings. Integrated optical image stabilisation and a sharp electronic viewfinder even take the guesswork out of composing show stopping shots. Highlights: The DMC-FZ200 is equipped with the world's first 25-600mm LEICA DC lens featuring a full range f2.8 aperture. Capable of capturing 12.1 megapixels of detail, this precision-engineered lens gives you sharper images and less distortion in conditions ranging from wide-angle shots to macro close-ups. The powerful 24x optical zoom can be used in photo and video recording. This is extendable to a stunning 48x using Pansonic's ‘Intelligent Zoom' technology. The lens also features nano surface coating to cut down on ghosts and flaring. The High Sensitivity MOS sensor boasts excellent S/N ratio resulting in super clear image with less noise even during high sensitivity recording. Intelligent noise reduction and multi-process noise reduction combine to reduce noise and render dramatically clear images, even in low light. The DMC-FZ200 has a 0.2-inch electronic viewfinder that features a 1,312,000-dot equivalent high resolution, 100% field of view. Thanks to the increased 30 - 60fps frame rate, screen freeze is reduced, making it suitable for shooting fast-moving subjects. A vibrant 3-inch colour screen lets you review your pictures and compose perfect shots. Power Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) creates sharper images whether you're shooting or filming. Move into position or shoot off-the-cuff with confidence - the FZ200 always delivers rock solid results. You can also record high quality 1920 x 1080 full HD movies in AVCHD for playback on your HD TV via the mini HDMI connection. Cases Take care of your new camera with one of our cases.
