We gave the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 one of our "Best of the Year" awards in 2012 thanks to the lens being able to maintain a f/2.8 aperture across its long focal length. It doesn't have many features like GPS or built-in WiFi, but for just taking pictures and video, it does it well. Since the FZ200 is last year's model, you can now get it for $100 off the MSRP at Amazon, along with free shipping.
