Does Panasonic's all-new Lumix FZ48 superzoom deliver the goods?

Flexible zoom range, Easy to use, Good movie-recording abilities

Some image quality issues, Removal of Raw recording a step backwards, EVF isn't great

Panasonic DMC-FZ48 review

 

Does the latest Lumix super-zoom bridge live up to expectation?

Good build quality ; Intuitive controls ; Excellent lens with an impressive zoom range ; Fast to focus ; Image stabilisation and autofocus during video recording

Noise at high sensitivities ; Artefacts around fine details at all sensitivities ; Subdued colours with default settings

Bridge cameras fill a niche due to the huge zoom ranges that can be achieved when designing a camera around a small sensor, while keeping the camera body relatively compact.

Panasonic Lumix FZ48

 

The latest Lumix superzoom, the FZ48 or FZ47 if you're based outside of the UK, adds to the stack of long-zoom compacts that have hit the shelves in recent months. The FZ48 has its positives: we're fond of the fast autofocus system that, at the...

Fast autofocus, improved LCD screen, close-up macro

No Raw, 24x zoom isn’t as big as much of the competition, images lack quality detail

The FZ48 has its positives: we’re fond of the fast autofocus system that, at the wide-angle settings at least, will see off much of the competition.

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ47 review

 

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ47 looks very similar to the more expensive LUMIX FZ150, albeit missing its flash hot-shoe and with a slightly squarer body. It's £142 less expensive, too, but still has a reasonably high retail price of £247. If you need a...

The Panasonic LUMIX FZ47 is the little brother of the top-of-the-line FZ150, and it sacrifices a range of features like the FZ150’s Live MOS sensor and accessory hot-shoe to cut the price slightly. It’s still too expensive -- although street prices are...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ48 review

 

If there's a running theme in our camera reviews, it's our frustration at huge megapixel ratings that push up noise rather than picture detail. With most casual shoppers assuming that more equals better, savvier consumers are left out in the cold....

Builds on the excellent FZ45 with 1080p videos, faster performance and a more modest sensor resolution – this is the ultra-zoom camera to buy

Picture quality, response times, features, value for money

Nothing stands out

The Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ48 is very hard to beat. It is up against some stiff competition, but the combination of features, image quality and pricing makes it the outstanding model in its category. When it comes to picture quality it has few...
