Panasonic Lumix FS7

Advantages: Perfect picture
Disadvantages: None

...I have just replaced my Fuji fine pix with another camera, and whilst buying my boyfriend bought himself a Lumix FS7 which I am now regretting not getting for myself. Always the way, but whenever I go shopping for something electrical, some guy in a suit always sways me towards something different. Which I should really learn from and just buy online, its usually cheaper anyway. The Panasonic Lumix FS7 Digital camera comes in a range of different colours; it cost £130 which for a 10.1 Megapixel camera was pretty good and the deal we got meant that a free case came with it as well as an additional memory card. So there were no qualms on the price. 10.1 Megapixels Right away we was impressed with the quality of the images this camera was taking, I also test the pictures out on phones and cameras by taking one scenic photo, a photo...

Panasonic Lumix TZ6 - metal-bodied compact zoom

Advantages: Sturdiness, Ease of use, Autofocus Tracking
Disadvantages: Overshadowed by the TZ7, Tries to do everything for you

...I always find it a little strange when a company releases two similar models at the same time, especially when the price difference is only around £40. The Panasonic Lumix TZ6 and TZ7 are similar stable-mates, with the TZ7 being the superior of the two. Having said that, the extra features of the TZ7 are things I can quite comfortably live without, such as the superior video capability with stereo sound, an HDMI output, and the ability of the camera to recognise up to 15 of your friends when they appear in a picture. Why would I want that? I don't have 15 friends - and even if I did, I'm sure I could remember them myself! The TZ6 is aimed at people who want to take nice pictures but don't really want to know how those pictures are achieved. Almost everything is designed to be automatic and intuitive, and there is some pretty...

Panasonic Lumix TZ6, Versatile compact with great image quality

Advantages: Fantastic little camera with 12 x zoom & 10.1MP (better than TZ5), but cheaper than TZ7
Disadvantages: No HD movie mode, not very cheap

...The Panasonic Lumix TZ6 is a great little camera that I have used to compliment my large DSLR (a Nikon D90 I have also reviewed), which is too big and expensive to be taken everywhere. Specification The TZ6 is compact camera with 10.1 MP, which is plenty of pixels for all but the larger prints and harshest crops. This means that in normal conditions there will never be pixelation, in fact too many megapixels squashed onto a sensor can actually reduce the image quality. The most important feature of this camera is the 12x zoom, 25mm wide angle, Leica lens. Leica is a quality brand, and this lens is no exception, it produces quality images and the lens slides out of the camera quickly and smoothly. There is no lens cap, but slide across covers, as in most other digital compacts. Design For such a versatile camera, it is...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 - Next best thing to an SLR?

Advantages: Monstrous zoom, Intelligent Auto, Price
Disadvantages: None that occur

...The Lumix FZ28 is an upgrade to the Lumix FZ18 and is almost identical on the surface. The LCD screen is now 2.7", compared with the 2.5" screen on the FZ18 and there is an extra switch on the back now to switch between Recording and Playback mode - which used to be handled via the mode-dial - a definite improvement in my opinion. I understand that not everyone will be upgrading from the earlier model so I will keep this comparison to a minimum from this point in. The aforementioned LCD screen is the same size as you would find on comparable models such as the Fuji FinePix S1500 or the Canon Powershot SX10 IS, but it is very bright and easy to see, even in sunlight - certainly easier than the Fuji. The appearance is SLR-like, as is the fashion with these super-zooms, and it feels reassuring to hold with its rubber...

panasonic lumix dmc-fx12

Advantages: Clear Pictures, Liquid Crystal Display, three times zoom.
Disadvantages: Small internal memory. No real disadvantages

....S.O setting and shutter speed according to how fast the subject is moving and the light conditions.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 - A camera to last you years

Advantages: Great zoom, easy to use
Disadvantages: None

...Having always been a bit of a cheap and cheerful camera buyer, I was a bit nervous spending nearly double what I'd usually spend on a camera. This camera has proved to be beyond value for money though! The Lumix DMC-TZ5 is a 9.1 megapixel, with a wide angle lens and boasts an awesome 10X optical zoom. It's also a remarkable easy camera to use, a lot of time has gone into setting up the intelligent auto function (which is the main setting you'll use), that means the camera works out what type of photo your taking, adjust for light and does pretty much everything a photographer does (all be it not to the same level of expertise) as you take the photo, meaning amazing shots ever time. That said don't be afraid try to experiment with the manual settings (of which there are many!!) as will a little bit of practice you can get some really...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5

The entry level camera in the Lumix family is no poor relation.

Advantages: Build quality, range of useful features, ease of use, price, flash
Disadvantages: No AV cable, no view finder.

...After four years of hard use my old compact digital camera died. Although I also own a dSLR camera there are times when you don't want to lug a big camera and lenses around, so the search for a small camera to compliment the SLR began. When shopping in Tesco I looked at the cameras on display just to pass the time really. However at Tesco the display cameras are live, so you can have a play and you're not pestered by staff trying to sell you extended guarantees! I saw a Lumix fs4 camera on offer at £69.95. This is I believe a discontinued model which has been superceeded by the FS42, the only difference is a 10mp sensor as opposed to the older models 8mp one. According to the technical info (instruction book) there are no other differences. Anyway I returned to Tesco the next day armed with a load of club card vouchers and purchased...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS42

Worthy Upgrade over TZ-5

Advantages: 25mm wide angle lens, IA mode, 12x zoom, compact design
Disadvantages: Problem persists in higher ISO setting

...Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 ************************************ Basic Ideas Panasonic is a leading brand in consumer electronics market with almost all kind of products. We have seen that some of the digital cameras and handy cams are most popular from Panasonic and they are really rocking with excellent quality and features. Technology growth will never end up as it will remain continuous growing status. Whenever we buy most advanced products, there are some lacks of features which we really need or there are some more requirements. These requirements keep technology growth alive and we get something new every time. Now I am taking an example of digital camera, if we have a look on digital cameras of just before five years than we will see that there was nothing like quality or features. Those cameras were really very bad in...
