LUMIX FZ300 One Camera To Rule Them All?

I use to have reservation on so called BRIDGE or Superzoom camera.

When I received the latest Lumix DMC-FZ300 from Panasonic NZ, I was rather amazed with the following features from a NZ$ 989.00 camera!

• A f/2.8 constant aperture 25-600mm (equivalent) 24x Leica zoom lens
• 12.1MP high sensitivity MOS, 1/ 2.33 inch sensor
• 0.7x  EVF with 1440k dot and eye sensor
• Rotating 3inch 1040k LCD touch screen 
• 5-axis hybrid IS
• ISO 100 to ISO 6400 sensitivities
• 12fps continuous shooting
• 4K photo / video, with stereo sound recording
• 1cm macro mode
• Wi-Fi  and QR code connection
• Built in 3.5mm microphone socket
• Splash and dust-proof weather-sealed body
• Large 380 shot battery

That 25-600mm f/2.8 lens must be a typo, right?

It is NOT a typo and Panasonic actually caused a stir when they launched the DMC-FZ200 with the same f/2.8 superzoom two years ago!
