    Got mine at about the same time Thought the fz 1000 was a step up with the larger sensor but not much in it. The fz 300 is still tops may be due for an update soon

      Yes I appreciate it now more than ever. I would pick this to shoot video over any other hybrid camera I have.

    I am using it for video primarily for my online courses, meetings and some you tube (soon to come). It does an excellent job (way more than what I need). BTW, I am using a battery pack to bypass that 30 mins cap. In the documentation, they say that the camera will go continuously for 4 hrs, with he pack, then it will stop for 2 mins. After that, you can start again. Needless to say that I never need it to record past the 1.5 hrs mark, tops. BTW, super review, thanks for that!

      I guess I missed that in the manual that it will go past 30 minutes on the battery pack. I have never had the need to record for that long and I just recently purchased the battery adapter. That is good to know.
      Thank you so much for letting me know and thanks for watching.

      What do you mean by "battery pack?" Are you talking about a dummy battery with an external power source?

    Do you have a source for the "battery pack" to extend beyond 30 minutes as noted in some of the comments?

    • @WaybackRewind
      @WaybackRewind  Před 3 měsíci

      Enough people have asked about this that I will make a video about it.
      There is nothing off the shelf that will work, but if you start with the AC Adapter and replace the plug in power adapter with a 8.4 volt battery it should work. Not sure how tolerant the camera is but 9v is probably as close as you will get with a battery. I'll let you know when I post the how to video.
      Thanks for watching.

      Thanks. I don't shoot raw or use profiles so I get whatever I get. I guess I am not professional enough to need to do that.

    Ten aparat robi wrażenie. Jak jest z czasem pracy na baterii? Jaki jest maksymalny czas długości jednego filmu hd? Jak długo trzyma bateria podczas zdjeć? Nagrywam filmy uczniow na konkursy inline - gra na flecie. Film to z reguły 20 minut.

    • @WaybackRewind
      @WaybackRewind  Před 3 měsíci

      Żywotność baterii jest dobra, wytrzymuje kilka godzin. Taśma będzie nagrywać przez godzinę nieprzerwanie, więc 20 minut nie powinno stanowić problemu. Taśmy wysokiej rozdzielczości są takie same jak zwykłe taśmy, więc nie musisz kupować niczego specjalnego. Użyłem tłumacza Google, więc mam nadzieję, że to przeczytasz. Dzięki za oglądanie.

      I had no idea it would become legendary when I bought it 9 years ago. But there is still nothing better in that price range in my humble opinion.

    How does it compare to Sony hx400v?

    • @WaybackRewind
      @WaybackRewind  Před měsícem +1

      The Sony HX400v is a similar camera with a long 50x optical zoom, (versus 24x on the FZ300), but the biggest difference is that the FZ300 has 4K video and the Sony only supports 1080P. For me that's a deal breaker as I primarily shoot video. But if you are primary a stills shooter the Sony has a higher pixel count 20.4 Mp versus 12.1 Mp. The FZ is f2.8 across the entire range and the Sony is not. It all depends how you use it, but I prefer the Panasonic.
