Panasonic DMC-FZ18

Pros: Good clear pictures, long rechargeable battery life

Cons: Bulkier than most of the new cameras out today

Review: It takes a little time to get to know this camera, but once you do it is a lot of fun to use. It takes great vibrant pictures and the videos are nice too.

Pros: -good flash -great zoom -great options -perfect size

Cons: -too big to fit in your back pocket -more than a basic camera

The Bottom Line: This camera is the best one that I have come across thus far

Review: The new fad is to find the smallest camera that there is such as ones that can fit in your backpocket, however the quality of the picture is heavily comprimised. This camera is light, small but not too small and gives an amazing picture. I have...

Pros: weight, battery life, super long zoom, SD cards, ease of use.

Cons: No zoom in movie mode, no tilt LCD, screen going blank in super zoom focus

The Bottom Line: A good camera with amazing 28-504 range, but wait til they perfect some features.

Review: I own a Canon S2IS 5mp 12x zoom camera. We were heading for a 2 week trip to Alaska, so I looked into getting something with a longer zoom.

Purchasing the Panasonic FZ18 directly from the Panasonic sales dept. gave me 30 days to try it. I...

Pros: Still pictures with audio, large and well-lit LCD.

Cons: NO ZOOM IN MOVIE MODE!!!!

Review: I regrettably sold my Konica-Minolta Z3 before I bought this camera; it did everything I wanted it to, but I wanted more zoom. Actually my only problem with this Panasonic DMC-FZ18 camera is that there is NO ZOOM IN MOVIE MODE!!!! That is unheard of...

Pros: Powerful zoom. Intuitive menu.Good macro.Long battery life.

Cons: Occasionally slow to focus. The manual flash. LCD screen doesn't tilt.

The Bottom Line: I'm a constant second guesser and worrier. After buying this camera, I have no regrets. It's not the perfect camera, but no camera is.

Review: We d been itching for our biennial camera upgrade, the selling of the old on Ebay, and the purchase of the new. The Sony DSC-H1 hadn t been any more unsatisfactory than its Olympus predecessor, but the Sony H7 offers a 15x zoom and more megapixels...

Pros: Super telephoto, very high ISO range, excellent color balance, fast shutter speed.

Cons: Camera lacks external flash connection, internal flash is adequate but tends to overexpose subjects.

The Bottom Line: This is an excellent all-around camera with enough flexibility for the pro, but easy enough for the average person to use.

Review: The Panasonic DMC-FZ18k is an excellent camera. It's the first digital camera I've purchased that does nearly everything I want a camera to do. I love the 18x optical zoom, since I do a lot of sport photos for our school. That telephoto and the...
