point-and-shoot sales may be shrinking but super zoom cameras are still popular the problem is most of them are terrible indoors or in low-light because they start with a small aperture that only gets smaller when you zoom in and that equals less light which can lead to blurry soft and noisy photos Panasonic's FC 300 is an exception starting with a big f28 temperature that stays that size through its zoom range helping keep that blur and noise in check but the lens is just the start of what makes this camera so good it's fast to focus and shoot it has a great electronic viewfinder and a flip-out touchscreen a hot shoe and a mic jack it shoots in JPEG and RAW and captures excellent 4k video that you can grab stills from it even does this cool thing that lets you pick your focus points after you shoot ok the feature set might be a little overwhelming for some but for others it'll be a camera that satisfies their creativity while also being a simple fully automatic point-and-shoot plus it's wrapped up in a weather resistant body and that's why despite its $500 price tag the FC 300 is worth seeking out
