Panasonic ET D75LE5 - lens

Advantages: sleek, elegant, sharp, attractive
Disadvantages: picture quality is not that good

...Panasonic has dissappointed us with this product of theirs. It Simply doesnt look to be Panasonic. I have used many 8 mega pixel cameras and this seems to be the worst one. But if you go for the looks and easy handling camera than you could have this as your choice. It has a stylish slim compact body and a wide angle Leica DC lens that can fit a wide image, but you can get this better with a Sony cybershot photography camera, but the cybershot wont be this stylish. Panasonic have got a great feel to the body i must say. It attracts you the moment you see it. A big Lcd adds to the looks. But if Panasonic works on the function aswell as the form, then i suppose there is going to be nothing like this. To people who wana buy this, i would recommend a Cybershot... Read review

Advantages: Light with good zoom lens range, easy to work controls, hotshoe included
Disadvantages: Fairly bulky

...Excellant working sem-professional camera with easy to use controls, good zoom range, hotshoe for flash, tripod socket etc. Has a 35mm feel and results are excellant. Great reviews in Digital camera press. Best in Class 2005. other Panasonic models also won classes, so m ight buy more Lumix cameras on the strength of this. Bought mine in Houston Airport, have not been able tgo put it down since. Good range of accessories included, lens hoods etc. Was going to buy the Sony 528 , 8 millMP, but 2x the price and molre bulky. Glad I chose this. A great camera. Will certainly consider Lumix Cameras in thed future. Want tp compliment this with a pocket size and a changeable lens model for more professional work.... Read review

Advantages: 12 x(2.8) Leica Lens,5 mega pixel,Remote Shutter option,Auto Bracketing
Disadvantages: Fixed LCD on back side,No Raw file format

...Ultimate product in the compact series 5 mega pixel range.Designed like typical DSLR. This has a 12x optical lens system that is equivalent to 36mm to 432mm in a 35mm film camera.Also having OIS(optical image stabliser) helps to freeze moving objects like birds or flies.There is no need for worring of shutter lag, comes under 0.008 seconds.Coming 2.8 power aperture for both tele and wide shots.6cm macro focus range.Supports remore release for professional photographers. Latest venus II engine from Panasonic. Options for mounting two conversion lens from panasonic .Give options to mount lens adapters very useful like me , I say if I attach one shot panoramic lens. There is missing factor , RAW file format. But for non professional photographers, i don't think this is a great miss. Over all a great product for the price.Good battery... Read review
