Great Camera: Digital Cameras

This camera is without a doubt the fastest camera we have ever used. it takes very clear pictures. The downside is that it's bulky and 5MP is already outdated.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Could have been a newer model

My new digital camera and photo product

So far I'm very happy with the performance of the Panasonic Lumix. It takes very clear pictures and loads easily. There are many settings I haven't tried yet but am working on.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Doesn't fit everyone

Great camera for dummies

This camera is great! I like that it's compact yet feels like a camera with a big lens. It fits perfectly in my purse and the picture quality is really good. I don't know much about photography or cameras so this is an easy to use camera for me. .

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • No

powerful and compact camera and photo

I had an FZ20 but unfortunately it was stolen from my luggage. I decided I couldn't afford the same thing again and bought a replacement locally. In fact, I even bought another camera, brought it home and hated it. I went back to Panasonic and saw the FZ5. When I got it and played with it, I really liked it. It has most of the really great features of the FZ20 (except for the hot shoe for flash and manual focus) but is much lighter and feels good in the hand. This is a super camera for the…

Pros
  • nice packaging
Cons
  • high price

Well done Panasonic

So far I'm very happy with the DMC-FZ5. With Lumix I take very clear shots indoors and outdoors. The LCD is very easy to read (maybe not so easy in bright sunlight) and I was able to navigate through most of the menu items without a guide. Image stabilization works wonders on this high-zoom camera. I shot the 12x zoom outdoors in 40 km/h winds and the result was excellent. I was shaking from the wind, but thanks to stabilization, the picture was as clear as possible. Ann, I say the DMC-F5Z may…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Nothing here

Amazing performance and ease of use

I wanted an animal safari camera. I'm a beginner photographer so I was looking for a light camera, simple, very easy to use and with an excellent zoom. I wasn't ready to switch to a DSLR just yet and this Panasonic seemed like a great compromise; I bought it based on other reviews. The camera far exceeded my expectations. It is very easy to use and the photo quality is excellent. I was able to get incredible close-up shots (the camera has 12x optical zoom plus digital zoom so you can take…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things

I am satisfied with the FZ5!

My first impression of the FZ5 was that it was smaller and certainly a lot lighter than I expected. It's certainly not a pocket camera, but it's compact enough and so light that you could theoretically slip it into a large trouser or coat pocket. That's why I choose the FZ5 over the FZ20, but at this point I'm not sure if I appreciate the FZ5's top-notch portability or want a camera to hold on to. I'm getting used to it, but I need a thicker, longer grip so I can wrap my fingers better and have

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
