Before it turned a year old, the lens started to stick in the juice and kept asking for a restart, as I read in the reviews, it showed another piece with the same problem, so there is generally a manufacturing defect in this model! Over time, the situation worsened to the point that it no longer works, and now during the holidays, I have to take it for service and be without a camera!!!

I have had this camera for almost five years. Excellent for its price. During the day, the photos are excellent. For nighttime, if you set the right settings and under certain conditions, they are average. However, with a stable tripod, the photos go to another level.

The zoom is half the money, very useful, the photo quality during the day is very good, as for night shots you need to have good settings (average ones, that is). The 4K video is also very useful. It is good for its price, especially for someone starting out, many times I thought the camera was at fault but I just didn't have good settings, it has filters and settings for photos and separately for video, it takes 55mm size filters and the battery lasts a very long time, I can use it for up to 3 days

It is my first camera, after a lot of searching I ended up with this one, it has a very good zoom and quality in videos and photos mainly during the day, the only negative thing I can say is that the night shooting is not as good, as I saw a review that you can use night mode, however if it is full night it doesn't work as well, however this doesn't bother me so much because I mainly wanted it for daytime.

Very good camera to start with. I wanted to get a cheaper one but luckily I didn't. Consult people who have cameras before buying and know the basics of what you need it for.
Amazing camera, I am satisfied.

I uploaded a photo as an example, I don't know how it will look though, it's clear to me but I don't know how it will appear after downsizing. I continue using it and I am satisfied. I take it with me on nature trips, cameras cannot be compared to mobile phones, cameras are much better and imagine this one is cheap but it personally meets my needs.

Truly incredible machine.
The zoom, the quality, everything is incredible.
It has a very good stabilizer so that there are no shaky shots, but for night shots you need to select the night mode and definitely use a tripod.
The videos look incredible and as I said, even if you're shooting handheld, they come out relatively stable thanks to the stabilizer.
Completely satisfied.
My best purchase

I mainly photograph landscapes, I also use the zoom which is excellent during the day and quite good at night, and I also shoot stabilized videos which are also quite good. It has several settings and the battery lasts a very long time, so you don't have to worry about it running out. It's ridiculous to compare it to 200 euro mobile phones.. For the record, I am attaching unedited photos of dusk, moonlit night, and a night at a concert. It also has a touch screen. For its category, it is excellent!

This machine is PERFECT for those who travel and take long-distance photos of landscapes and buildings. For example, if you go to places with archaeological sites where you cannot photograph something up close, such as a detail on an ancient temple at a great height that you do not have access to. It has been clearly designed by people who had Japanese tourists in mind.

Inappropriate for nighttime shots. The advantage it has over a good mobile phone is the optical zoom that provides the comfort of clarity in distant photos. Only supplementary for a good mobile phone. However, it is one of the few at this price with f2.8. If it had greater sensitivity, it would be very commendable

It has very good clarity, Greek menu, takes awesome photos, it's worth a lot for its money, this specific one is an investment.

Prioritize your priorities. You don't buy a Super Zoom camera based on night shots. You buy it to be able to take action photos and videos. Mostly for sports and activities, during the day or with spotlights. In this area, it is the perfect camera.
And I personally liked it, during the day of course, you can quickly switch from landscapes to distant wildlife snapshots.
If you want an all-around camera, this one doesn't do it, it's not the camera's fault, you need another one that won't have an amazing zoom, of course...
If you are so interested in night photography, it has a hot shoe. I have bought a cheap third-party flash from the Greek market and a cheap LED video light from eBay. The photos and videos are decent, at close distances of course.

Very good camera for its price, especially for those who want zoom and video. At night it takes so-so pictures, but that's understandable due to its small sensor. If you want something for night shots, you should go for a DSLR. The settings are satisfactory, as well as the build quality. Also, the fact that you can connect it wirelessly to your mobile phone is very convenient. That's it.

Very good zoom along with the smart and digital goes over 300x. Good camera, I just expected it to have better quality when cropping the photo. Also, I didn't like that it doesn't have many options for night shots. It shoots up to 60 seconds, but you can't adjust the ISO.

Very good video quality in both 4K and 1080p with 60 fps. It has WiFi and I can send the photos directly to my phone without cables and extra WiFi

If someone wants a good bridge camera, this model will satisfy them. It has many positives, with a menu that has many settings and options, from the company's top models. However, a major negative, which applies to all similar models, is the small sensor: the noise during night shooting and the low sensitivity. Excellent in terms of its price for daytime use, but average for night shooting. However, I took very good photos of the full moon on a tripod. Recommended for regular use for daytime shots and for night shots with good lighting

Very good for its price! Incredible zoom with satisfactory stabilizer! In night shots, if you make good settings, it takes satisfactory photos! You need to lower the ISO very low because even with a slightly increased ISO, it produces noise! In night mode, you can adjust the shutter speed up to 60 seconds, which is very useful! It is perfect for landscape and nature use!

The machine is very good for the money it makes and for what it offers. It is not intended for professionals, but for the everyday amateur. In low light conditions, the machine has reduced performance and definitely needs a flash. However, in outdoor settings during the day, the machine performs very well in both photos and videos (it can even shoot in 4K). It has excellent stabilization, which means you can comfortably shoot videos without a tripod or take photos at very low shutter speeds while holding it in your hand. Its strongest point is the zoom, which is 63x and simply unbeatable. With certain settings it offers, the zoom can be increased even more, but the image noise becomes noticeable. It also has an option for timelapse.

In conclusion, personally, I am very satisfied with it. I have had it for about six months and it works flawlessly. It is worth the money it costs.

The specific machine in its kind and for the money it costs is very good. It is made for outdoor photography with a lot (or little) zoom. To perform well, it requires abundant light, but I don't consider this a disadvantage because all superzooms at this price range (and even more expensive ones) have small sensors and dim lenses. If you want to photograph moving subjects indoors or want to take nighttime shots without flash, stay away. If you want a cheap and powerful zoom for outdoor areas with sunlight and good video quality, it will not disappoint you.

I bought it to replace it, expecting something better than the FZ200.... well, it's nothing like that. The excessive zoom requires many other things that are not always available to be useful, the screen is not foldable, the lens is average. At night, it is non-existent with the video not focusing immediately when the lighting is not ideal. There is no reason for the existence of this model, which is an FZ72 with a recent production date. Lack of manual settings. If someone wants it as a toy, okay....
