Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 Review: "Because it's a new product, reviews were still trickling in at this writing. We rate Consumer Reports' coverage No. 1 because the concise reviews are written for a general readership, and the ratings chart makes it easy to see how the cameras rank. If you don't subscribe to Consumer Reports, there are ample reviews from more specialized sources, such as Imaging-Resource.com and Steve's Digicams. We also found about 150 user reviews at Amazon.com -- just be mindful that image-quality complaints are universal for ultra-zoom digital cameras.
Reviews say the 10.1-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 is the best choice among ultra-zoom digital cameras, given its features, image quality, shutter speed, price and portability (13 ounces). While stronger lenses are available, reviews say the 18x is plenty, and unlike some cameras in this class, you can shoot in RAW format. You also can find slightly larger LCD displays on the market, but 2.7 inches will be large enough for most users. Some say the joystick control is balky, but a real plus is a manual switch for the video recording function. This is an upgrade of the widely praised, 8.1-megapixel DMC-FZ18, which is still available for about $300. Reviews say the top budget ultra-zoom is the 10x Canon PowerShot SX110 IS (*est. $215).
