It is a super zoom bridge camera with 4K capability. One of the lesser known facts about this camera is that it has the same processor as the GH4 which enables it to shoot 4K. So this camera will be a great sell for those customers who want superior zoom and functionality without carrying a lot of lenses with them. Early reviews are saying this camera also beats the Sony RX10 and with a cheaper price tag. This camera DOES NOT replace FZ200, it will slot in above as our new flagship bridge camera.
