12.1 megapixel, EVF, 24.00x Zoom

Released September 2006

Panasonic FZ150

12.1 megapixel, EVF, 24.00x Zoom

Panasonic rethinks their high-end ultrazoom, returning the flagship to five-star status with a reduction in resolution that paradoxically boosts image quality. Easy to recommend.

Released September 2011

Panasonic FZ200

12.1 megapixel, EVF, 24.00x Zoom

It's a rare superzoom camera that features an f/2.8 lens -- especially a Leica-branded 24x zoom lens that maintains that constant max aperture throughout its range. But that's exactly what the Panasonic FZ200 delivers and more. With an equivalent reach of 25-600mm, full-res continuous shooting at 12 frames per second and Full HD 1080p video recording, the FZ200 provides a ton of photographic flexibility to casual photographers and enthusiasts alike.

Panasonic G5

16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.00x Zoom

Updating the performance and capabilities of the Lumix G3, Panasonic has improved an already strong performer. A subtle change of button position and functionality makes this compact shooter a standout in the Micro Four Thirds crowd.

Released October 2009

Panasonic GF2

12.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, Non-Zoom

Released January 2011

Panasonic GF3

12.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, Non-Zoom

Among the smallest of Micro Four Thirds cameras, the Panasonic GF3 is easy to bring along and puts out good quality images at lower ISOs. It struggles a bit to keep up with the competition at higher ISO settings, though. While we liked the smaller size, we didn't as much enjoy the touchscreen interface. Overall, though, we think the Panasonic GF3 is quite a good little camera in the right hands.

Released July 2011

Panasonic GF5

12.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.00x Zoom

In refreshing its modestly-sized, modestly-priced touchscreen mirrorless camera, Panasonic has wisely left the sensor resolution unchanged. Instead, the Panasonic GF5 brings lower noise levels, performance improvements, and some worthwhile improvements to UI and ergonomics.

Released June 2012

Panasonic GF7

16.0 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 2.67x Zoom

The little Panasonic GF7 packs a lot of performance into a small, lightweight and easy to use package. It may be billed as an entry-level camera and comes in at an affordable, entry-level price, but the GF7 offers a lot of camera for the money. The image quality and performance of the Panasonic GF7 is quite good for its class. If also offers numerous options, shooting modes, and lots of user customization to fit varying shooting styles. All told, the GF7 is not only easy to use for beginner photographers, but also quite capable for more advanced ones as well. Read more in our in-depth Panasonic GF7 review!

Panasonic GH1

12.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 10.00x Zoom

Released June 2009

Panasonic GH2

16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 10.00x Zoom

Though it's still a little big for the compact system camera title, the Panasonic GH2 is distinguished by its fast autofocus for both stills and video, and its Full HD video capability; the built-in EVF, articulating LCD and touchscreen are just gravy.

Released December 2010

Panasonic GH3

16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera

The Panasonic GH3 marks a huge improvement over the much-beloved GH2, both in still photography and video capabilities, thanks to a brand new 16-megapixel Live MOS sensor and one of the deepest feature sets we've ever seen on a mirrorless, compact system camera. In particular, the GH3 is loaded with professional-level filmmaking features, including full 1080p video at 60fps, bit rates as high as 72 Mbps, and an SMPTE Time Code option, along with nearly a dozen other premium extras you won't find on DSLRs twice its price. To top it all off, the GH3 boasts a more durable, weatherized body than the GH2, and a redesigned interface with plenty of easy-to-access buttons for making changes on the fly.

Panasonic GM1

16.0 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 2.67x Zoom

The tiny Panasonic GM1 features the same sensor and processor as its larger sibling, the GX7, but Panasonic has done some innovative engineering to pack all that power into such a small and pocketable digital camera. Check out our Panasonic GM1 review to see why this camera was voted the Best Pocket Interchangeable Lens Camera of 2013!

Released November 2013

Panasonic GM5

16.0 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 2.67x Zoom

The Panasonic GM5 takes what was great about the GM1 and improves upon it immensely. While still keeping a lightweight and compact design -- that's practically pocketable even with the 12-32mm kit lens -- the GM5 manages to includes a fully-functional, albeit small, electronic viewfinder. Creative lighting options are expanded by the addition of a hot-shoe and external flash support, plus, ergonomics and customization are subtly yet noticeably improved. The image quality remains unchanged and impressive, and performance is still excellent with slight improvements in some areas. Read our in-depth Panasonic GM5 review for all the details!

Released November 2014

Panasonic GX1

16.0 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.00x Zoom

Easy to carry, yet not too small, the Panasonic GX1 offers a lot to the photography enthusiast who's looking for a compact system camera. It offers compatibility with a growing set of high-quality lenses, and is a lot of fun to use.

Released December 2011

Panasonic GX7

16.0 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.00x Zoom

The Panasonic GX7 may just be the Micro Four Thirds model we've all been waiting for, offering a ton of advanced features -- including a tilting electronic viewfinder, touchscreen LCD and robust Wi-Fi capabilities -- while capturing very good still images and great video. It may not rank the best in any one specific area, but the GX7 is the rare compact system camera that doesn't sacrifice much either, delivering all-around great performance for a reasonable price. It hits a sweet spot that should surely appeal to both pros looking for a compact, everyday alternative to their bulky DSLRs as well as a smart and sophisticated step-up model for amateur shooters.

Released March 2010

Panasonic TS5

16.1 megapixel, Compact, 4.60x Zoom

The Panasonic TS5 waterproof camera should thrill photo geeks who love advanced features and functionality. It's the first camera in its class to deliver advanced Wi-Fi and NFC capabilities that includes remote capture when paired with a smartphone or tablet. Moreover, the TS5 boasts full 1080p HD video recording at 60 frames per second and 10fps full-res still burst shooting. Unfortunately, the TS5's image quality proved to be mediocre overall, and its dedicated underwater mode photos came out somewhat flat with muted colors. Still, it could be the right compact waterproof model for those who demand the latest high tech gadgetry.

Panasonic ZS8

14.1 megapixel, Compact, 16.00x Zoom

A competent long zoom digital camera with fewer frills than its ZS10 brother--unless you consider the 24-384mm lens a frill. An excellent pocket companion.
