The perfect travel camera Panasonic DMC-FZ8K March 28, 2008

My first impression of the Panasonic DMC-FZ8K was it is a small camera. After playing around with some of the features I was impressed with this camera. The FZ-8K takes fantastic pictures that are truly very sharp. What I'm most surprised with is the feature for close ups or macro. I was taking pictures of coins that were as good as my Canon D20. So small but packed with so many features that blows your mind. I have taken this camera FZ8K outside and ran some test of my own to see what I could do with it. I took some pictures of some Finches that feed at one of my bird feeders. Took many pictures of some buildings and even went to the Zoo. Every picture came out perfect the bird pictures were so good that I had one made into a 5x7 and framed it. I have never used a Panasonic camera and I would have to say I'm impressed. I was so Impressed with the FZ8K
that I also purchased a Panasonice DMC-L1.The image stabalizer works great it's not perfect but it will get the job done. I took a picture of the moon with out the use of a tripod came out nice. To sum this up if your in the market for a great camera that is easy to use and with more features for more advanced users look no farther. This can be a simple point and shoot or you are able to change many features to be more creative. I was never a fan of point and shoot cameras but when I saw
this camera on Amazon and did my home work. I read many reviews on the internet and made up my mind to give it a chance. I figured if I didn't like it I would sent it back to Amazon. After about an hour of playing with the camera the day it arrived. I new that this was a keeper in my book. It is small and I have big hands but fits me just fine. All controls for the FZ8K are easy to work when holding the camera. I bought a four gb memory card for it and a card reader. I no that this will never take the place of DSLR but the cost is a fraction and the results are and will amaze you what this little FZ8K can do. One thing maybe I can pass on is no matter what camera you are interested in read some reviews. I have never read a review on any camera that they have not found something wrong with it in some way. What I'm saying is there is no perfect camera out there. But I will say the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8K is as close to perfect as I will ever find. You have to handle the camera fill all the controls the make your own mind up. For me one that has a couple DSLR I'm very happy with my little Panasonic FZ8K. Also Amazon also had the best price on the net. And they shipped it lighting fast. I have used a Fugi point and shoot and a couple Canon point and shoot. My brother owns a Sony camera and loves it till he saw what the FZ8K can do and do it better. My pictures come out sharper more vivid and my zoom is a so much better. The Sony my brother uses cost 245.00 and is a little smaller and
he is able to put in a shirt pocket. Mine I can't but feature for feature mine blows his away. I'm very happy with the performance and features that are on this Panasonic. Give this camera a chance and it to will make you as happy as it has made me. A fantastic camera for not allot of money. Gizmo

This is a GREAT starter camera. It has most features you expect from a starter dsl. However it only lacks one feature id really like to have. Interchangeable lens. ANd TRUE manual focus. Other then that. Pictures have a GREAT quality
Great Digital Upgrade March 25, 2008

This is the second digital camera that I have owned (I previously owned a point and shoot Olympus that was bad with indoor and so-so with outdoor shots). The Lumix FZ8 is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to have the ability to experiment with manual focus, F-stops, apertures etc, but I also wanted something that I could just grab and shoot. The image stabilization feature is great. A lot of the pictures I have taken so far were from a moving train. No blurring at all. The image stabilization does have a potential downside when zooming - it reminds me of a telescope because the subject moves out of range very quickly; it really requires a tripod in that situation. Another plus is how lightweight it is.

I use a Sony A700 with "G" class professional lenses and use the Panasonic LX1 for quick shots. I gave this to my girlfriend in Tallinn to take pictures as she is not one for manuals and technical details but has a good "eye" for pictures. It is even more useful and versital than the LX1 and sometimes frustrates me as I am trying to change lenses (even with professional zooms) and she already has the images I wanted It is tiny and light compared to a DSLR but very easy to use and gets great fine quality images. For thousands of dollars less, how can you go wrong even as a backup. I have one of her sunsets in FL as my screen saver - stunning.
