Review: Hybrid but wonderful stills camera - Moved from crop sensor Canon 90D to this full frame camera not fully realising that it is targeted at video content creators. But what a stunning stills camera this is. The Mega Pixels are down from 32 on the 90D to 24 but to be honest having access to again to a 35mm frame totally outweighs that. Whilst the magnification of the crop sensor will be missed I can not say this is a deal breaker. Images are wonderful and the autofocus system simply because it is biased and designed for video is amazing for stills. Quick and accurate.
Review: Great camera. Poor product support - I am very pleased with the camera. It is exceptional and without doubt the best camera I have ever owned. I take a lot of sports images and the autofocus is superb. The video is great too but I knew that would be the case as I also own a Panasonic fz2000. The reason I have only given it 4 stars is because I have been unable to register the camera. The camera's model number is not recognised on the Panasonic website. I contacted their support and was directed to WhatsApp. I sent them details of the problem and a photo of the model number etc on the box that it came in. Despite this each time they have replied they have asked for the same details again and if I have not responded to their WhatsApp chat within 2 minutes they have ended the support enquiry. I have asked them to resolve the matter by email within 48 hours and if they don't I will return the camera to desertcart for a refund. It is now 5th August and I am still unable to register this model on the Panasonic website. The model number is still not recognised and I have heard nothing further from Panasonic support. If you read this desertcart please help so that I don't have to return it. I was finally able to register this on the 13th August despite no further communication from Panasonic support. I just kept trying every few days to register it and at last today the model number was recognised. Support issues aside the camera itself is great. Just need to save a bit more money to buy the 70-300mm lens for it and then the 85mm f1.8. 😁
