'On the small and light side for a typical megazoom, the camera feels a little plasticky '
'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. '
'The DSC-H9 achieves a good balance between the hardware controls and the software menus; providing complete functionality without overly complicating or cluttering up either.'
'fans of large prints, 100% on-screen viewing, or high ISO shooting should probably steer clear of the DSC-H9'
'The handling of the H9 is very pleasant; you can grip it much like an SLR, left hand cradling the lens'
