Explora thinks the Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 is the best bridge camera
Explora listed the best bridge cameras you can get and the overall winner is the Lumix FX2500:
While it doesn’t offer the same professional-level features as the Cyber-shot RX10 IV, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 does come with plenty of high-quality specs and features (and a much more affordable price) that make it a viable contender for the best bridge camera for most people. Included on its long list of incredible features are a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit f/2.8-4.5 lens with a 20x optical zoom, a 20.1MP 1” High Sensitivity MOS Sensor, DCI 4K video recording, and the 5-axis HYBRID Optical Image Stabilization+. Unlike some of the other cameras we’ve mentioned, the Lumix FZ2500 features a wide-angle to super telephoto 24-480mm equivalent zoom range, which opens a world of possibilities for any action-shot enthusiast or pro.
