  Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 review
  By Andrew Mager
  
  Review summary: An inexpensive high-end compact camera/DSLR crossover, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18K offers an 18x optical zoom, a 28mm wide-angle lens, and a host of manual controls for a very reasonable price.
  
  Verdict: All in all, the Lumix DMC FZ-18K does come through for the price, especially if high optical zoom, a great lens, and a beginners' course on manual settings is what you're looking for.

  Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 product review - taster
  By Richard Sibley
  
  Review summary: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 with its 18x zoom lens has one of the widest focal-length ranges we have seen on a bridge camera. But can the 1/2.5in sensor that makes the huge focal-length range possible cope with more than eight million pixels?
