Read Wilkinson Cameras Reviews

Take this ruggedly designed camera outdoors. Its 600mm/F2.8 high-speed lens and 4K Video/Photo recording capability will definitely satisfy you and make sure you catch those fleeting photo opportunities.
 
Features:
 
25-600mm Zoom with Full-Range F2.8
The 25-600mm LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens boasts full-range F2.8. Regardless of how distant your subject is, or how fast it is moving, this lens won’t let it get away. And the constant F2.8 capability enhances low light shooting throughout the entire zoom range. Also, Panasonic’s black box technology Nano Surface Coating boasts extremely low reflectance ratio and it is applied to the LUMIX FZ330 for exceptional optical performance with stunning clarity by minimising flaring and ghosting.
 
High Image Quality Even in Low Light Conditions
The 12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS Sensor in combination with the Venus Engine provides both: high quality image capture and high speed signal processing. The superior noise reduction system enables crisp images even in low light conditions up to ISO 6400. The Venus Engine also excels in diffraction compensation to make images crisp and clear even when shooting with a small aperture.
 
5-axis Correction / Tilt Correction 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ (Optical Image Stabilizer Plus)*
Gives you blur-less one-handed video shooting. It detects and compensates for the camera's 5 types of movement – horizontal, vertical, axis of rotation, vertical rotation and horizontal rotation. The Level Shot Function detects the image's horizontal line and maintains it even if the camera is tilted. It takes stable video even in high-angle, blind recording. * 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. works in video recording except for 4K video recording.
 
4K Photo Modes
Free Your Creativity The 4K Photo function can be used in three different modes, all allowing you to capture that perfect moment at a high burst rate of 30 frames / photos per second: 4K Burst This is a function that you can use more like using photo burst shooting mode. The camera keeps on shooting 8-megapixel equivalent images at ultra high burst rate as long as the shutter button is pressed. 4K Burst S/S (Start/Stop) This function is the standard 4K Photo function where you are able to record a 4K video to extract any frame / photo as an 8-megapixel equivalent image later.
 
4K Video
More Details Than Full HD. Whether you are watching movies or editing videos, 4K delivers a far more intense viewing experience than you have seen before. Its native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels is four times larger than Full HD, resulting in a much higher level of detail. Even if you export your footage filmed in 4K to a Full HD TV, the video files will have even better definition and crisper details than those filmed in Full HD. ‹ÄÈWhen recording videos in 4K, use a card rated as UHS Speed Class 3.
 
3.0-inch Free-angle, Touch Panel Rear Monitor
The rear monitor with a high resolution of approximately 1,040k-dot features higher visibility even for sunny outdoor shooting. And, the tilt/swivel capability gives you the freedom to find unusual perspectives while maintaining easy operation and full image control. Plus, touch control immediately lets you to set focus to the subject by just touching it on the screen and you can even release the shutter.
 
High Speed Auto-Focusing with DFD Technology
Capture even the fastest moving action thanks to Panasonic's Depth From Defocus (DFD) Auto Focus (AF) technology. The LUMIX FZ330 features this brand new technology instantly calculating the distance between the items inside the frame and drives the focus of the lens in one fast, continuous movement. This new system results in AF speeds up to 0.09 seconds* and a burst shooting speed with AFC of 6 frames per second. It also increases the stability of continuous focusing when shooting video. 
 
Close-up Macro
  Shooting Stunning macro shots can be shot with minimum focusing distance of 1cm with the LUMIX FZ330.

As I get older I am finding it harder to carry a large DSLR and long lens on country walks for my nature photography and have been looking into lighter user friendly cameras. Having had very good results from panasonic small pocket cameras I opted for the FZ330 bridge camera which has very good macro and a good long reach giving me a light manageable camera covering all my needs when out walking

OK so a bridge camera will never be as good as a Dslr due to the small sensor. BUT this is a superb camera with an amazing reach (25mm-600mm) but better yet it's f2.8 throughout the zoom. Yes other bridge cameras have 1000mm plus lenses but they're f5.6/f6.3 & this means the camera is getting a 1/4 of the light in. This means the Panasonic FZ330 has more chance of freezing action or still able to take a photo in low light hand-held. My other camera (1000mm) f5.6 just broke so the Panasonic is a replacement & believe me it makes an excellent difference.
