Best Panasonic Digital Cameras - Under $1000

'very capable camera'

'There's no mistaking it; this is definitely a Panasonic hybrid.'

'a broad feature set'

'The pop-up flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and good overall exposure. '

'excellent compact system camera'

'But just because it's affordable doesn't mean it feels cheap per se; the GF7 isn't the very best built Lumix camera in the range, as price dictates, but this small-scale model is well crafted all things considered. '

'180° tiltable touchscreen'

'It does much better as a dedicated camera, offering the most features and best image quality from any smartphone that we've tested thanks to a unique blend of large sensor, quality lens and years of photography know-how.'

'At last, a real camera on a smartphone / picture quality better than any other smartphone. '

'Full manual control.'

'4.7-inch full HD'

'The DMC-FZ35 excels in manual controls and low-light video footage, and it offers near-perfect automatic settings, unique scene modes, and a slew of imaging options'

'In a surprisingly light (0.9-pound) frame, the 12-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 provides an 18x-optical-zoom Leica lens (27mm to 486mm) with good optical image stabilisation. '

'Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ35 is quite simply one of the best fixed-lens cameras out there for both stills and HD video. '
