    The FZ47 doesn't do anything particularly amazing to warrant its hefty asking price. It takes good photos and video, but, for a little extra cash, we'd highly recommend upgrading to the FZ150 instead. Read more

    The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ47 looks very similar to the more expensive , albeit missing its flash hot-shoe and with a slightly squarer body. It’s $150 less expensive, too, but still has a reasonably high retail price of $649. If you need a camera with an extreme zoom range, the LUMIX DMC-FZ47 is a good choice: its 24x lens is sharp enough throughout the range to create clear pictures, with only a little resolution lost at maximum zoom.

    My husband bought me this for Christmas. However, he sourced it in the US, and paid a total (including postage) of A$245.00. I love this camera, it's so easy to use. tHE PHOTO QUALITY IS AMAZING EVEN AT FULL ZOOM. I upgraded from the DMC-FZ7. Read more
