Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 Reviews

This camera is a super zoom (18x), meaning it has a huge range of focal lengths. This allows you to get a wide close up shot of a group of friends, but also a close shot of a furry animal far in the distance. All in one small package. This is the great appeal of this type of cameras, but they can have a drawback. When you build a lens ...  Read the complete review

As an artist, working largely from a studio environment, I needed a camera which would take me beyond the point-n-click of budget digital cameras. I was prepared (reluctantly as I don't really do high-end cameras) to buy DSLR, and started my shopping search accordingly. When I found the Lumix FZ-18 it seemed too good to be true, and I ...  Read the complete review

I'd been after a decent camera for a while, having become fed up with the basic "point and squirt" compacts. Similarly, I couldn't afford a full-on DSLR, especially not with a decent range of lenses as I was interested in shooting wildlife, often from quiter a distance. Eventually I purchased the FZ18 and I have been very happy ...  Read the complete review

How do you start to describe this camera. Well I guess the lens is as good as place as any. The high quality Leica lens is the main reason you'll want to buy this camera. The optics are highly regarded in professional reviews which consistently rate the FZ18 head and shoulders above it's competitors. It has an outstanding focal range ...  Read the complete review

After developing an interest in photography through a previous job, I was keen to get an SLR camera. Having pestered my parents in the run-up to Christmas, I received this camera, and it was love within a few hours! My parents, understandably unsure of whether my new love of photography was simply a passing phase, had seen this as a good ...  Read the complete review

Prior to buying this camera I had little experience with digital cameras. My previous Olympus SLR had served me well but the future is digital and I was fed up with carrying around the cumbersome zoom lens. What I needed was a camera with a reasonably high pixel count and with a very good zoom capacity. I also wanted ...  Read the complete review

I love this camera. I started an interest in photography a year ago and my family chipped in and got me this camera. It's brilliant especially for a first time user. It's not too technical and extremely easy to use. The quality of the pictures are fantastic I got some real stunning shots using this. Its got an ati shake mode, ...  Read the complete review

I had been after a Digital SLR for some time, and when the opportunity arose to buy one I did just that. Well, that's not actually technically true. By rights this camera is not a digital SLR, but in fact a compact 'superzoom' camera, it looks like a digital SLR and definitely performs like one though. I had been saving for a while, not ...  Read the complete review

As a lot of people on this site already know I am a professional photographer and as such I own many cameras but the camera I am about to review is actually one that I do not personally own but have been spending a lot of time with of late. At my photography club we have access to many cameras as well as the ones we own, this ...  Read the complete review
