This replaces my older Panasonic Lumix camera, and I could not be more happy! I'm having a great time learning how to use it and adjusting to the differences. It's perfect for me, and I would definitely recommend the camera.

Seems great so far. Very fast, fairly easy to adjust. Wish it was dust and weather proofed a little.

The best camera I have ever used!!! I have had Minoltas, Nikons, and a bunch of other cameras - this is by far the best one yet! It is easy to use, the controls and touchscreen are phenomenal, and the pictures and video are perfect!!!

I love this camera! I was replacing my beloved DC-FZ1000 that was damaged by my niece. I shopped around, purchased another 1000 used, returned that and spent the extra money on purchasing this new. Adorama's price and package that it came with was hands down the best price across the board. I also have access to someone to help me with the camera regularly, an extended 3 year warranty from Panasonic and just an overall FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. Thank you Adorama!!!

This camera has focus issues. I?ve tried everything I know to do to get a crisp image from it. Probably going to send it back.

I purchased for a European Cruise as a lighter alternative to my other digital cameras and telephoto lenses. I could not be more happy. The camera is light and the lens zoom is just perfect. Even pictures taken through a tour bus window come out sharp when using the sports preset. This was the best camera purchase I have made in a few years.

I had the original Lumix FZ1000 and really liked it. I stepped up to the mark ii and I think it is a very nice upgrade to an already good bridge camera. Has lots of features and an excellent zoom range. Perfect camera to grab and go. The overall kit has some really nice accessories in it. I especially like the nice battery chargers it came with. A complete kit to get you out and taking photos immediately.

Outstanding purchase - great camera to carry on trips and the perfect complement to my Nikon D750 - it is much lighter and easy to carry around and very capable to handle just about any shooting situation. It is also reasonably easy to use.

Great camera without having to haul around extra lenses. Had the FZ1000 and it was great, but decided to upgrade to the new FZ1000 II model. Adorama kit with all the accessories for the same price as the camera alone, what a deal ! ! Has a few new features that I want to try on our upcoming trips to Maine coast and Southwest National Parks. Can't wait to use it.

Very satisfied with Adorama?s service and the included accessories were exactly what I needed - a well thought out combination. Doing baby steps with the camera using the iA mode and getting some great perfectly focused pics at 400 mm lens setting. No hesitantly shopping Adriana in the future.

I?m steadily getting more and more pleased with my results of using this camera. There?s a bit of a learning curve to using it (and I?ve previously used a DLSR for years). But there have been helpful videos online and I found a third-party manual that explains things very clearly. And I keep taking pictures all the time, getting more comfortable with what the camera can do, and ending up with some really good photos, to boot! It?s a very powerful camera, and can really do a lot, probably more than I?ll ever need, but it?s proven to be a great walkaround camera for me, allowing me to get great landscape shots, but also some very up-close wildlife shots. The fact that I got the package with the spare battery was the wisest decision ever, and that spare has come in quite handy on some of my nature hikes. I really like the range of the lens, and I think having the 1-inch sensor helps the quality of my images.

This is a wonderful 1" sensor bridge camera with a wide zoom range, 24mm to 400mm equivalent. Useful for everything from landscape to portraits to wildlife to closeups. The focus staking feature is fun for closeup work. The size and weight are convenient, specially for all its capabilities. Image quality if very good with the 1" sensor, much better than smaller sensor cameras I'd used.

I am very impressed with the camera. The changes from the FZ1000 (my previous camera) were exactly what I wanted, especially the focus stacking option. I was not impressed with some of the accessories included in the kit, mostly the FlashPoint timer and shutter release. I couldn't get the shutter release to work. After contacting the manufacturer I was told that the shutter release DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS CAMERA (not mentioned in the description of the product) but was included as a "freebie". Also, the camera case is for accessories only, not the camera.

After doing what I thought was an "Upgrade" from the FZ300, then FZ1000, then this model, I'm totally confused. There is Nothing better about this camera than the previous models. 1) It's just as sluggish to start up as the other models. 2) The zoom is just as sluggish as previous models (whether you use the lens control ring or the top dial). 3) JPG picture quality is fuzzy. 4) Most pictures are over-exposed, blowing out highlights. For the amount of money this costs, you can do much better with other brands. This is going back where it came from...

It's a bit heavy, and the telephoto is a bit hard to hold even with the excellent stabilizer. But it beats lugging at least two lenses around. It has a 1" sensor which some reviews say is BS-CMOS but Panasonic just says MOS. Whatever, the picture quality is excellent. All in all a great compromise to a DSLR.

I’m very pleased with this camera. I had a Fz1000 and this is a big improvement. The touchscreen and new features like focus stacking are nice. The controls are better, no more switches that accidentally turn off image stabilization or change focus and zoom functions. I like having the an extra f stop and the autofocus is much quicker and more accurate.

I traded in my Lumix FZ1000 for the Mark 2 version. I thought this camera would do better at video. I was not disappointed. There is a noticeable upgrade in the video performance over the FZ1000. Still photos are the same excellent quality. I have no hesitation in recommending the Mark 2. Dealing with Adorama was an excellent experience as always. This is not my first first purchase from them.

This camera has all I need, it is light , it has long lens ( 400mm ) and it has amazing quality ! ( I had a D7100 he put my arm to sleep! ) It has many functions and it is possible to configure many of them! the rotating display is very convenient and the touchscreen display works very well. I left 4star because : this camera create the raw file RW2 and at moment need to convert this file and after is possible to work with software
