Launched in 2010, the FZ100 stands out due to its impressive features and versatility, catering to a wide range of photography needs.

One of the standout features of the FZ100 is its 24x optical zoom lens, which offers a focal range from 25mm wide-angle to 600mm telephoto. This makes it easy to capture stunning landscapes as well as distant subjects, providing great flexibility in framing shots. The lens is equipped with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 at the wide end, which allows for impressive low-light performance and beautiful background blur, perfect for portrait photography.

The camera is powered by a 12.1-megapixel MOS sensor, which enables high-speed shooting and delivers excellent image quality with vibrant colors and sharp details.

The ability to record high-quality audio along with video showcases the camera's comprehensive multimedia capabilities.

The 3.0-inch articulated LCD screen and an electronic viewfinder provide users with multiple shooting options. The LCD can be tilted, which is especially beneficial for capturing shots at unusual angles. The electronic viewfinder offers a clear display of settings, allowing photographers to make adjustments quickly and accurately.

Additionally, the camera comes equipped with various built-in shooting modes, including Intelligent Auto, which optimizes settings automatically, and Manual Mode for photographers who prefer more control over their shots.
