Advantages: Low cost, high functionality Disadvantages: No real manual focus on the lens
...The beauty of this Panasonic is that it has many functions you would normally only find on a much more expensive camera, such as shutter priority, aperture adujustment and manual focus.
The "SCN" or scene mode is also useful, allowing you to quickly set the camera for a number of scenarios such as sports action, candlelight ans sunset. These give very good results and are quick to use so you don't miss out on any special moments.
I'm very happy ...

I would endorse 'noselot's' review entirely. As probably one of the worst photographers in the world I bought my FZ8 in an attempt to, at least, get the objects that I wanted to take in focus. The results are amazing, certainly for me. On our recent trip to Lanzarote I took over 300 pictures, half of which I discarded because I wasn't happy with the layout/angle/light but the remainder were exactly what I wanted. The zoom is quite phenomenal. I notice ...

Advantages: Excellent quality, easy to use, but good manual controls as well Disadvantages: Expensive Panasonic accessories.

Advantages: Optically superior than competitors, feature rich Disadvantages: At this price, none
Bridge cameras like the panasonic fill a much needed gap in the market. If you feel you have outgrown the point and shoot digitals and need a little more control over how your photos turn out but do not want to trade up to full DSLR''s both in terms of cost (there really is a huge price gap between the point and shoot and the cheapest DSLR) and in terms of complexity, different lenses etc, then the 'bridge' camera is for you.
I researched the market ...

i love this camera :) i have used cameras before but still very much a novice. this is my 1st time with what i would call a real camera - and its so simple! the instructions are so simple too. i usually get them wrapped around my head!
anyone wanting to go for a change or upgrade i think this is the model for you. its lightweight. a reasonable price and i would recommend it to everyone i know.
for people like me, who arent sure, there is a simple mode which does all the guessing for you :) then when you get more confident you can change and make your own decisions.
i just think its an all round excellent find

Advantages: Great start for amature pro Disadvantages: A little to heavy
Great camera for photography enthusiasts or people working in graphic design and need a high resolution shot. I compared the photograph quality to my friends, who is a glamour photographer and despite the camera being very user friendly you couldn’t tell between the two, except his camera being very big and less compact! With 7.2 mega pixels, you can have any photograph you shoot blown up to poster size and can print them off at Jessops, it only takes ...

Advantages: Lightweight and easy to use, but complicated when you want it to be. Disadvantages: None I can think of.
I've had this camera for two months now. What I find good about this camera is that it contains all the advantages of a DSLR, whilst being compact and easy to use. The program auto mode is great for snapping quick shots and for those who wish to take photos like pro's then there are the Shutter Priority and Apeture Priority modes to choose from.
When I thought of buying this, there were a few things that made it more attractive to me than others. ...
