Testing the zoom.

[JohnP]

I took these two shots from the same spot when testing the zoom of my Panasonic FZ2000, I wondered what that was in the centre of the first shot I soon had an answer when I zoomed in.

FUJI... I have been so impressed with the FZ2000 since I purchased it last December I haven't used any of my Canon DSLR stuff at all this year, it's a great camera with so many features including ND filters and HDR to name just two. Just picking up one camera to go out knowing I always have the right lens is great and the HD video is fantasic too. I don't miss hauling loads of gear one bit.

Time to sell all your Canon gear then John?

I say, that if you, are happy with the results you are producing, then that is all that is required.

Wow!

Normal zoom ranges from 24-480mm, when switching to intelligent zoom (i.Zoom) you can zoom in up to twice the original zoom magnification while minimising the deterioration in image quality. Having 960mm of zoom available is amazing and I'm impressed how well the image stabilisation works.

Pretty good zoom and focus there John - I feel the same about my Nikon P900, it will do whatever I want without taking any extra gear with me, and produces results that I am happy with.

Every now and again I see something on which to test the zoom of my Panasonic DMC-FZ2000, I love this camera, I know when I pick it up I don't have to worry about having the wrong lens on the camera which was always happening when I used DSLR, I wish I could have had a camera like this when I did holidays abroad. The only editing was to reduce to 1024 pixels for posting and I never moved when taking both shots.

That really is an impressive zoom, John!

Missed these.  The quality is really good as well.

I'm impressed with the sharpness too.

Paul... I thought I would try a crop and a little sharpening, the full size images are obviously even better than these reduced shots.

This is really pushing it to the limit now...

As already said, pretty impressive John!
