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...

Review of Panasonic Lumix FS7

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-TZ3

Advantages: 10 times optical zoom, large LCD screen
Disadvantages: no viewfinder

...times optical zoom, which is a great selling point, but, in fact, you can trade off quality for increased optical zoom, and you can choose to have 5Mp, and 12 times zoom, or 3Mp and 15 times zoom. There is also a 4 times digital zoom, but why bother. I selected this camera from a number of different products, after a lot of research, and I felt that it offered the best value for its size, gaining a lot of the advantages of high specification without the bulk and cost of a digital SLR....

Panasonic Lumix DMC FS3-Simple and quality

Advantages: value, zoom, features
Disadvantages: probably not to good for advanced photography

...I am no photography expert I must admit, so when looking for a digital camera whilst in New York, i asked the shopkeeper for some assistance and he reccomended me this panasonic lumix camera. I have been more than happy with his reccomendation ever since, having found the camera very easy to use, but also capable of taking very high quality photographs. I would reccomend this above Samsung and Fuji cameras I have had in the past. The zoom is excellent, very defined, and the camera offers a burst feature, which allows you to take a series of photos, excellent for a moving object, and then choose your favourite one. Having been bought for less than £80 equivalent I am very pleased to have chosen this camera, as for someone who wants photos of travels and everyday life, it has more than i need, but is not at all confusing. It also comes...

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

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

...-coated protruding grip. In terms of size and weight, it sits between the Fuji FinePix S1500 and the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS, measuring 118mm (4.6in) x 75mm (3in) x 89mm (3.5in) and weighing in at 417g (14.7oz) with battery fitted. The controls are well situated and well labelled and the menus are easy to understand and navigate, having an additional superimposed Quick Menu feature that is controlled with a little multi-directional joystick on the back (a little small for my big hands if I'm honest). Like most Lumix cameras, the strength of the FZ28, especially for those who are new to photography, is the all-encompassing Intelligent Auto mode, which handles Scene Selection, ISO, Exposure, Face-Detection, etc, and handles it all so well. Of course, for the more adventurous, there are 22 preset scene modes (5 of which are conveniently situated...

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. The camera also has a shock absorber, which means if it drops the camera might scratch a little but it wont break or shake inside so that the components malfunction. The quality of the Picture's are very clear, no blurry images or distorted, and it also offer a three times zoom facility to get close up images. The software compact disc includes a lumix simple viewer one point two e, which is suitable for both Mac and Windows desktop's.

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX3EB-S

Advantages: Top features and performance for an economical price
Disadvantages: Lack of viewfinder and possibly a little small for large hands

...Key things I assessed on using this Panasonic camera prior to buying were size, style, specified features, price; with ease of use also described below: Size ? The DMC-FX3 EB-S is a small camera of similar volume to a pack of cards though a little narrower and thicker, that will easily fit into a pocket which increases its useability Style ? The camera looks stylish with a clean and curved design to slip comfortably into pockets without snagging or bulging. Features ? A key differentiating feature for me on a camera of this small size and economical cost is the Optical Image Stabilizer which works well as the technology to prevent issues with camera shake is in the lens itself and doesn?t have any adverse effect on the picture quality unlike digital image stabilization methods. Other features are as expected including red...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC FX3

Worthy Upgrade over TZ-5

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

...published in newspapers. But now we are getting current news in seconds with all required photographs. All stuffs are due to digital technology. The camera Discussed lots about digital technology and now I am going to main point about this camera. Panasonic Lumix TZ7 is a name of new model from Panasonic inc. I also want to discuss some earlier models of this series to explain this model properly. Panasonic Lumix TZ-1, Panasonic Lumix TZ-2 and Panasonic Lumix TZ-3, these are the most discussed models of TZ series. What was the hot about these all cameras? That is definitely its compact travel design with long zoom lens and lots of features. Panasonic had put a new sensation in compact camera market with its long zoom range in ultra compact body. Another new sensation got in terms of optical zoom while movie recording. I don?t have proper...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7

Panasonic Lumix FZ18

Advantages: Large zoom, small size, extensive ISO rating and Leica lens
Disadvantages: No remote shutter release, facility, no auxiliary flash shoe, a little fragile.

...) zoom is a real bonus and coupled with my 1.7x Olympus teleconverter it produces exceptionally long shots. Mind you at that focal length it becomes a real test for the Image Stabilisation system and a test that it fails, sadly. Without the converter the image stabiliser works pretty well and using a tripod has to be accepted with anything over the standard lens. Which makes what I am about say absolutely surprising. Panasonic have produced one of the longest digital lenses on the market yet they do not fit a remote shutter release facility on the FZ18; incredible! Just which of the designers made this omission? To use your long lens and tripod you have to make do with a Universal shutter release adapter Velcroed round the camera body. This in turn causes all sorts of problems when trying to access the controls. Panasonic - this is...
