'Combine those with good HD video options, a 25mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with a 12x zoom, and a couple of new image enhancements and you've got a flexible camera for those who don't always want to lug a digital SLR with them. '
'Panasonic's TZ series has received world wide acclaim as an excellent travel companion because of a wide shooting range and hybrid recording capability of high quality photo and movie. '
'The long-range optical zoom, decent image quality and good handling are some of the highlights.'
'If you can afford the outlay, the TZ10 is an ideal camera for those looking for a versatile, compact shooting solution.'
'Its relatively compact size makes it a suitable for anyone who wants similar capabilities to a digital SLR but not the bulky size.'
'GH1 is just as exciting for film-makers and keen photographers alike.'
'In summary, the Panasonic GH1 is better able to compete with the best from Nikon and Canon, and bests other Four Thirds players like the Olympus E-30 and even the Panasonic G1.'
'The White Balance control on the camera was very impressive.'
'It's great for shooting rooms, landscapes, and portraits, but it falls short in the telephoto department, making the Panasonic LX3 a difficult choice for an all-around camera, unless you're used to short to medium focal lengths.'
'In PCWorld Labs imaging tests, the Lumix DMC-FP8 produced good--but not great--results. '
'The minimal, flat fronted design and internally stacked/folded zoom lens mechanism of Panasonic's 12.1 effective megapixel Lumix DMC-FP8 may be a claimed bold departure for the electronics manufacturer's range of otherwise conventionally styled digital compacts. '
'The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 was worthy of its flagship status (and its successor, the FX580 , likely will be, too).'
'This camera is super small and weighs in at just under half a pound.'
'high-end point-and-shoot'
'The FX500 is immediately recognisable as a Panasonic compact, sporting the familiar clean, smart styling, brushed metal surface and cross-hatched Lumix logo.'
'What’s more, this 12.1-megapixel powerhouse includes an abundance of features like Hi-speed AF, Power OIS for double the corrective power, providing crisp sharp images, Optical Image Stabilization, Intelligent Auto (iA) prevents blurring and provides intelligent ISO control, subject detection and AF tracking.
