Panasonic DMC-FZ8

Review: This camera has the look and feel of a DSLR. With the small Image sensor of 1/2.5q CCD, your not going to get the picture quality of a DSLR, but for the money the pictures are outstanding. I'm no pro, so for family party's and vacations this camera...

Pros: Great array of controls. Love the joystick, baby SLR feel, long zoom.

Cons: Would like less ISO noise and wider angle when zoomed out.

The Bottom Line: This is probably the most camera you can get without getting a full blown DSLR. Highly recommended.

Review: I got back into photography after a 10-12 year hiatus. I started with a point-and-shoot Kodak, but it was obvious that that wasn't going to cut it. I needed something that was easy and quick to use, but had a good assortment of manual controls.

Pros: huge focus range, good image quality, excellent image stabilization

Cons: noise apparent in pictures past iso 400, not a great low light camera

Review: I was on the verge of buying a DSLR (Nikon D40) and I'm glad I did not. For about half the $$$ I got a digital camera that has a wide focal range (12x) and the focal range can be increased if you lower the mega pixels of the picture. The autofocus...

Pros: Ease of use, options, built in flash, Stabilizer, Large LCD

Cons: Bulky

The Bottom Line: Excellent Product, easy to use, loads of options, great price.

Review: I have owned the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 Digital Camera for about a year and am absolutely thrilled with the quality and performance of this digital camera. The camera offers a range of options for taking pictures including a simple mode for those...

Pros: Wonderful zoom, good image stabiliser, nice colours, sharp images

Cons: Light artifacts on pictures that require lens shielding

The Bottom Line: If you want something more than a point-and-shoot compact, but aren't ready for a high-end prosumer, do consider the FZ8.

Review: After my Olympus SP-550UZ compared unfavourably with my experiences of Panasonic Lumix cameras, I went out and got myself another Lumix - the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 to be precise.

I'd already had good experiences with the Lumix DMC-FZ5...

Pros: ISO/Apperature adjustments Incredible video footage Amazing steadyshot feature

Cons: Some grainy pictures Large lens extends from body

Review: I purchased this camera to use on at concerts hoping to get some decent pics. This is the first camera that I was able to get clear, focused pictures of concerts with high stage lighting, it's a wonderful little camera and it's video feature is one...

Pros: A camera that has something for eveyone

Cons: None so far

The Bottom Line: A very nice camera to own

Review: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 has something for everyone who likes to take pictures. Let's start with beginners, all you do is set the simple mode by changing the mode dial to the red heart and you are on your way. The camera will make all the...

Pros: Zoom, Image Stability, flash, ease of use with menus

Cons: lens cap, size

The Bottom Line: I recommend a buy on this product. It's the best bang for the buck.

Review: I thought I would write a review finally on my FZ7 that I have owned for about 8 months. I figured since the FZ7 and 8 are very similar I would write it here. My FZ7 has been really great. Especially for the price. I now know 4 people that have...

Pros: Everything.

Cons: Movie sound isnt the best. Better "use flash" indicator is needed. Thats it!

The Bottom Line: Go get one, why?, because it takes great pictures, is very flexable and battery life is NOT an issue.Did I mention it takes great pictures ?

Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ-8





Out of the box: The camera comes with all the accessories to get you going, except a SDHC memory card ( you can re-use your old SD card up to 2 Gb).





The battery...

Pros: Price for the features

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this for all types of users.

Review: I am no camera expert -- I will be the FIRST to admit it. I thought I wanted an SLR - until I saw the price tag and realized I do not know enough about photography to even use the options available. that said ... here is my "lay-man terms" review...
