I purchased a Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ10002 on October, 2023, for my holiday trip from another e-com website which was delivered inside a sealed box in working condition. I was able to take several photographs and record videos for the first few days without any problem.However, while I was taking photographs during my trip, suddenly the autofocus stopped working and the display showed System Error (Focus). The problem lies in the autofocus mechanism, where the lens suddenly stops moving and an abrupt sharp mechanical noise is heard while lens is being extended prior to this failure mode. Since then, I have turned off the camera, removed the battery, reinserted it and tried to turn it on multiple times but the issue persisted. I decided to carry this bridge camera as my primary one since I had high expectations on the reliability of this device and as a result of the sudden malfunction, I was unable to capture any photograph during the rest of my trip.Now, the real story begins when I emailed Panasonic India support regarding this issue. As the camera was under warranty, I was directed to visit Panasonic service centre on 28 October, 2023 and drop the camera at the authorised service centre for repair, which I did. Since then, nearly 1 (One) month has passed by the time I am writing this review on 26 November, 2023 and each time the service centre is contacted, their standard response is that due to unavailability of parts they are unable to complete the repair. I have been handling digital cameras and camera equipment for more than 20 years and this is the first time a brand-new camera has spectacularly failed within 15 days of purchase despite being handled with utmost care.So, in summary, a brand-new Panasonic Lumix, which is not cheap by the way, develops a problem in the autofocus mechanism out of the blue within 15 days of purchase and brand authorised service centre is unable to repair the same due to unavailability of parts which, when and if, arrives at an unforeseeable future, might result in getting the camera back from service centre.One might ask what will happen if some failure occurs after 5 or 10 years? I will leave that to your imagination.
