In addition to its amazing 24x constant f2.8 lens, the Panasonic DMC-FZ200 superzoom is the only video-capable camera with an external mic jack and HD slow motion below $7000.
I have the earlier version of this camera, the Panasonic FZ150
, and it is a great hybrid still/video camera even without the fast lens or 720/120p.With these features, the FZ200 can create video images like these (please watch at 720P):
And it's not a bad still camera, either.
The FZ200 is on sale now for $499 at Amazon and $488 (with a full manufacturer's warranty) from BuyDig via eBay
The Amazon
sale lasts until September 27th - and there are only 8 cameras left at the $488 price on eBayIf you'd like to buy this camera, please click on one of the links above or display ads below. It won't cost you anything extra, and it will help keep these blog posts coming. Thanks!
This is a great camera. I've been using it for sports photography and video. Here's a couple of FHD vids I made. Most of the clips came from the FZ200, with some video clips (noticeably different quality) with the TS4 toughcam. I love the hi speed function and will hopefully supplement the FZ200 with LX7. :)

Really dig the FZ200. The GH4 looks awesome unfortunately too expensive for me, but one can always hope! :D
