      Panasonic Lumiz FZ18 Review

      By Cybernium

      Review summary: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 performs quite well for having such an extreme optical zoom. While it is normal that ultra-zooms compromise one image quality, this one compromise very little to pack an 18X zoom along an 8 megapixels sensor. The major ...

      Pros: Extreme wide-angle 18X optical zoom, Good color accuracy, Low optical distortion, Consistent sharpness from corner to corner, Effective stabilization

      Cons: Image details destroyed from ISO 400 onwards, Useless at high ISO, Poor dynamic range, Softness near telephoto end of zoom, Low resolution EVF

      Lumix DMC-FZ18K

      By Andrew Mager

      Review summary: The least expensive camera in our megazoom roundup, the $350 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. An amateur photographer who hasn't used many advanced ...

      Pros: Excellent 18x optical zoom Leica lens Burst mode returns clear photos

      Cons: Zoom disabled in video mode Battery life is disappointing

      Verdict: Besides its manual controls and its wide-angle lens, the Lumix FZ18K has other goodies for more-advanced photographers and image editors; for instance, images can be shot in RAW format--but keep in mind that the image size will be about six times ...

    Panasonic Z18 Digital Camera

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 By Steve Hayward (24/11/2008)
    • Pros: exceeded my expectations
    • Cons: none so far

    I am a keen photographer of many years standing,and have owned many single lens reflex cameras using a multiplicity of lenses ,Canon Pentax, and culminating in an Nikon.Of late Ihave found that carrying Camera +Lenses + Tripod a bit heavy going for me. I am nearly 83 years old. So having searched the market I found what I had been looking for a Panasonic Z18 digital camera.It has many features of ... Read Full Review »

    Conversion with ease from 35mm to digital

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 By Anonymous (17/06/2008)
    • Pros: Excellent viewfinder, quick and easy to use, light, comfortable
    • Cons: None so far

    With regret I have used my Agfa Super Sillette for the last time. I dreaded moving over to the digital age but have been agreeably surprised at how easy it has been and overjoyed at the results. The instruction booklet was very clear and logical. It has been extremely easy to use on Intelligent Automatic and the zoom lens is great. There seems to be less need to use flash than with a convention... Read Full Review »

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 By Rachel Stelmach (21/03/2008)
    • Pros: Light, fast, superzoom, accessories
    • Cons: Haven't found any yet

    I use this camera one handed - left at that - and it's light enough to allow me to do that. I'm very grateful for the image stabilization as well. I've bought the additional lenses so now have super macro, mega wide, mega-mega telephoto and it's all very fantastic. I've been using a compact digital camera before this and was constantly frustrated by the 3x zoom. This is a perfe... Read Full Review »

    28mm with 18X zoom - how do they do it?

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 By Anonymous (24/02/2008)
    • Pros: Amazing lens capabilities, great photos
    • Cons: Plastic body is rather...plasticy

    Reasonably small camera with a whopping 18 x zoom, that starts with a really useful 28mm. Has manual & fully auto settings. Didn't think I'd use Panasonic's Intelligent Auto (does everything for you), but I do all the time - as it ensures great photos. I'll start to play with the manual settings soon - I promise.
