The LUMIX FZ-300: Leica Optics and a 25-600 Zoom!

I've written a lot about the FZ-300, which is my favorite travel camera. At only 1.5 pounds it's always in my backpack, no matter where we're headed. While it's got a smaller sensor, that doesn't change its potential for great images. I tend to bounce back and forth between "IA" and Aperture Priority, depending on what I'm doing.

The image above was from a trip to Ohio while sitting on the back deck of one of our favorite restaurants. It's not meant to capture anything spectacular, except to show you the quality of the images when the 25-600mm Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens is racked out all the way.

The FZ300 has a fixed lens and is just one member of the LUMIX family.
