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, 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...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6

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...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15

Advantages: Great design
Disadvantages: Not too many features.

...Firstly, I would like to comment on pictures quality that is made by this camera. In my opinion it is quite good. It has 12 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom lens. The lens has wide angle capabilities. Camera has all basic features needed for a simple compactable digital camera. There are not very much extra features, but that is not very bad, becouse too many extra features also makes the camera harder to use. I will continue on commenting about the use of the camera. It is very simple. Even my father, who is bad at using such kind of cameras, clearly understands how to use it. The battery of camera, in my opinion, could be better, but for most people I think it will be enought what it has. Design, weight, shape and size is the part I mostly like in this camera. The camera is also quite reliable, I don't thin it will would break soon...

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...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28EB-K

Panasonic Lumix FZ30 Digital Compact

Advantages: Looks good, excellent lens with image stabilisation, and good quality results.
Disadvantages: Size, and a relatively high price of a non-SLR.

...I'm newcomer to digital photography. So, you may ask for my credentials in writing this review. That's easy. I don't have any. Other than the fact that I do have an FZ30. I've owned and used the camera for just 2 months, and am still learning about it. That's yet another reason for writing this review. Writing about it will allow me to address what I like about the camera, what I dislike, and it will encourage me to focus on how to get the best from it in years to come. For years I have maintained that digital cameras couldn't match the performance of my old Nikon SLR. Then the FZ30 came along, and I had to take a closer look. I was initially attracted by: * it's stunning good looks. The camera looks best in black. * that lens. The Leica lens made me sit up and take note. * it's versatility. I wanted something that I...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMCFZ30BB

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...

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 TZ2 - a top-hole compact digital

Advantages: Small, tough, easy to use, very very versatile.
Disadvantages: No optical zoom (but hey ....)

...Panasonic DMC TZ2 digital Camera. I wanted a camera that I could carry with me - not too large, not fragile, not complicated. I ended up looking at the TZ range. There is little between the TZ2 and 3, apart from the latter having 7 M pixels instead of the 6M pix of the TZ2, so I chose the cheaper one, and have been very happy. This is every bit as good as I'd hoped. It feels solid, there is a nice big LCD screen (just under 2" x 1½") and it is quick to start - a couple of seconds between switching on and taking the first shot in daylight. How they get the lens tube to fold so small is a mystery, but when it is switched off there is nothing to catch on your clothing. The camera has all the basic digital functions, and it is futile to try to cover everything here, but here are functions a bit out of the ordinary, or important...
