New Super Zoom. When? (1 Viewer)

Hello all

I'm keen to get a FZ28 camera for snapping birds but I wanted to know whether to wait for the 24x zoom model. Does anybody know roughly when this will be available?
I may be wrong but I heard somewhere that Panasonic were working on such a model. TIA.

hi Paul and welcome to BirdForum from all the staff.

I have no idea when the replacement for the FZ28 is due out, but given how popular the camera is I doubt they'll rush it through. There are a couple of other super zooms with bigger zoom ranges but they don't the positive reviews that the Panasonic does, personally I'd forgo some reach for the good of image quality.

That's what im thinking :t:

I cant find any information on the 24x model at all so could be a long way off like u said.
