Love it. I am finding it complicated to use after my Nikon, but happily suprised at the results I have had so far. Lovely weight, easy to hold, I do use the viewfinder rather than the screen, very comfortable. Just need to find time to go through the online instructions to understand the multiple settings for even better results.

i bought this as i needed a bit more reach than my micro 4 thirds camera with a lecia 100 to 400 mm lens pros i found that the stills in the 4k video produce very life like pictures lots of detail with fine fur the wider aperture stays the same size thought the 600mm range offsets the rather dinky sensor that you find on iphones the f28 wide aperture staying wide up to 600mm with a lot of practice can produce bokeh photos and very fine feathers and fur equivalent to a micro 4/3 camera only in bright sunlight connections for a microphone and remote shutter and flash very useful for video light weather proof 52mm thread can take many filters and attachments Cons Macro is not quite macro auto focus and tracking of high speed objects ie freezing birds in flight is not very good iso is limited to 100 to 6400 takes decent photos but not micro 4/3 dslr quality with a proper optical lens video stablisation not as smooth as a go pro or action camera Its my b camera on trips if i need to take something fast and zoom in 9 people found this helpful

Excellent camera. Lens is sharp and the colour rendition is the best of any camera I have owned. It’s particularly good on portraits. The 600mm zoom allows close up photos while the wide angle setting is great for landscapes etc. The macro setting gives very good close ups. Handling is good but I find it easy to catch the zoom button on the lens because I tend to hold the camera lens with my left hand. Exposure is perfect and there are lots of ways of choosing exactly how you want it exposed. Similarly there are lots of focussing methods. All work well. I’ve not used the video function much but the results so far have been excellent. Other functions such as panoramic photos all work well. The ability to operate the camera by wifi is really good and very useful for animal photos, although the app only seems to work on my ipad – I’ve not been able to load it on my android phone. Overall, I thoroughly recommend this camera if you want an excellent all round camera but do not want the expense of a top level slr. It’s certainly as good as my canon eos300! 21 people found this helpful

I have been looking for a refurbished iPhone for my Mum for some time and as I had great experience with a refurbished iPad for myself from Gadget Tree, I chose Gadget Tree again. I was a bit sceptical if the iPhone would be as good as I had hoped as there were plenty of poor reviews on condition, cleanliness etc., but I found one sold by ‘New Fone House’ who had excellent reviews, plus I had the additional safety of Gadget Tree’s great 30 day return policy. When I opened the very well packed box and took the iPhone out I was blown away by the condition. I have a very critical eye, yet it literally looked brand new. There is not a single mark on the screen nor the delicate aluminium body. It was only the 87% battery health that pointed to it being a refurbished product. Given the condition of the phone, I hoped it would be a little more than 87%, but it is still over the 80% that Gadget Tree state as the minimum for their refurbished items. The phone is fully set up and everything works as expected including TrueTone display, Face ID etc. There are also no warnings of non apple components, so it truly does feel like a brand new phone. In addition to the iPhone and cable (which I was expecting), there was also a 20 Watt power adapter and a high quality glass screen protector included. I maybe looking to purchase another, so I will seek out this reseller again. 4 people found this helpful

I purchased this to take snaps on holiday rather than carrying my DSLRs and lenses around. A good quality picture which does diminish when the zoom is close to its maximum. If you want a lower-end versatile camera that can provide a good basic picture (rather than two dimensional smart phone and small camera pictures) then this will suit. It will also be good for beginners to photography to get to grips with the workings of a modern camera and to learn the artistry of taking pictures before moving up to other bridge cameras or DSLRs. As the zoom is powered by the battery I would recommend a second battery if travelling. Save battery by turning off the live view and use the view finder. Gave 4 stars for for weatherproof but not used it in damp environments or extreme cold yet. The camera is not overpriced.

I have always been impressed by the Panasonic superzoom FZ series cameras – my first camera was the FZ8. I’ve since had various SLR’s/Bridge cameras but just didn’t use them as often as I would have liked. So I have just bought back into the FZ range and am absolutely delighted with it … -Viewfinder: superb -Screen: touch functionality is brilliant and you can disable it if it’s not your thing -Handling: feels just right in the hand – I tried the FZ1000 and it wasn’t nearly as comfortable -Lens sharpness: brilliant and better in my view than the standard telephoto lenses you typically get for SLR’s -Photo quality: very good with natural colours – I use the camera mainly for bird pictures in good daylight and have it set to ISO capped at 200 in aperture priority at F4 for best results, but you can push the ISO higher and use the F2.8 to still get excellent output in lower light. -Video: no idea as I’ve not used it yet All in all, I thoroughly recommend this camera for general purpose use especially if you are not someone who spends time in front of the computer looking at pictures blown up to 100% to look for noise (many do believe it or not!). Don’t be put off by the zoom only being 600mm – many go further, but won’t match the sharpness and will have detail blotched out by noise reduction where they have to raise the ISO by at least 2 stops to compensate for a higher aperture value – only the FZ can do F2.8 all the way through to 600mm. 57 people found this helpful

Just returned from a two week trip to Morocco with my new camera. It weighs a lot less than my old one and it took little time to become familiar with the major functions. It will take longer to become familiar with the full range of functionality (amazing number of options available) but most things are instinctive. The zoom range is great and the picure clarity is very satisfying. Controls are quite easy and I suspect that any problems I had were down to having to unlearn where the controls were on my old camera. The camera was sold as pre used but it was in perfect condition. Very happy with my purchase and the price I paid for it. 2 people found this helpful

This is an excellent camera. I am delighted with it’s image quality and rugged construction. I studied many professional reviews before deciding to buy it, and also looked at many owners comments as well. I am using it as back up to a Nikon D5200 DSLR. The Nikon is a lovely camera, but when I need a bit of zoom I do not like changing lenses out in the sort of weather we often get in South Wales! I have been using a Canon SX 50 HS for this purpose, and it has performed very well over the last three years. However, the controls on the back of the camera are very fiddly for someone with large hands, and it has a famously pathetic EVF. I did consider buying the SX 60, but was put off by comments which suggest that image quality is not actually as good as that of the old model. My photographic interests are very broad – landscape, historic buildings, wildlife, family portraits and pets. The FZ330 has produced lovely photographs in all of these categories in varying light conditions. Start up and autofocus are like lightening, the EVF is great, and a constant f2.8 throughout the zoom produces excellent clear hand held images at maximum range. Viewed on a computer, or printed up to A3 size, I would suggest that they are as good as those taken with my DSLR. The FZ330 can handle everything from macro to high zoom, and to cover that range with a DSLR would require several lenses costing a fortune. You would also need a strong back and a very strong bag to carry them all! Professional photographers may need to lug all that gear about, but the rest of us do not with a bridge camera as good as this on the market. The FZ330 is an absolute pleasure to use. 24 people found this helpful
