Best Silver Digital Cameras - 8 to 25 x Optical Zoom, Battery Pack Included Accessories

'Incredible focal range'

'excellent image quality'

'16x zoom lens (24 - 384mm).'

'built-in GPS'

'The ZR1 is shockingly small considering its lens specifications.'

'A few subtle features help the ZR1 rise above ho-hum status: an ultraquiet zoom lens that reaches to 25mm on the wide-angle end, lightning-fast autofocus in video mode, great image stabilization at high ISO levels and fast shutter speeds, and a few unique scene modes. '

'The build quality too is exceptional, with a very solid feel that's not permeated with flimsy plastic or cheap components â?? it's all metal here. '

'Compact body, huge zoom, relatively crisp shots.'

'It has a small handgrip for your right hand, and it's comfortable to use. '

'Outdoor wide angle shot'

'The bottom line: Simple and satisfying, Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FH27 is an excellent point-and-shoot value.'

'useful touch-screen operation'

'with better photo quality, slightly faster performance, and a wider angle lens, the ZS3 does improve upon the older model.'

'The Lumix DMC-ZS3S is very much a "set-it-and-forget-it" model; it's dead simple for a novice to take a good photograph, because the camera is packed with complex automated features. '

'The Lumix DMC-ZS3 is certainly one of the most advanced compacts on the market, and one we truly enjoyed shooting with.'

'I had no problem slipping the Panasonic ZS3 into my back pocket and shirt pocket when I headed out to shoot'

'well-made overall'
