Panasonic DMC-FZ4

Pros: Fast Leica monster zoom, picture quality, price, features, included accessories

Cons: LCD could be articulated and larger, could come in black color, no microphone

The Bottom Line: If you want a responsive "monster zoom" camera, this Panasonic FZ4 is a good choice. With 4 megapixels of resolution, 12x optical zoom...

Review: After using a 2-Megapixel P anasonic DMC-FZ1 (upgraded to FZ2 firmware) for a while, I decided that I need a camera with higher resolution. Since I have S D cards and ...

Pros: Battery life, Price, Zoom, Picture Quality

Cons: Low light quality, small lcd, silent movies.

The Bottom Line: I recommend it to anyone on the beginner to intermediate level. Wouldn't be enough for the seasoned photobuffs, but for the casual enthusiast it's the best.

Review: I'll address general concerns from a general photography fan. I'm not super deep into the world of photography but i do enjoy to take pictures and do so a great deal. So for the more 'casual' enthusiast, here are the pros and cons of the FZ4: PROS: ...

Pros: The picture quality and 12x zoom is awesome !! (My favorite new toy)

Cons: None so far

Review: Bought several cameras and returned them all - Bought this camera and I must say - it is the bomb...pictures are excellent ..love the the speed capture option and the multi-shots (8/speed captures in 1 second) bla bla bla...great bang for the buck. ...

Pros: Ease of use, 12x zoom, great battery life

Cons: only available in silver

Review: This camera is everything the advertisements say it is. The only thing I would recommend is that less experienced photographers should stick with the automatic scene modes or the picture modes. I use these modes for almost every shot I take and my ...

Pros: Extremely good Optics and very good image quality, good battery life

Cons: Cumbersome User interface, complicated options. No external power option, still no "Webcam" emulation

The Bottom Line: Take it for optics, rest is OK, silver look cheap, not for begginers, unless you have spare time

Review: The best shooting mode for beginners is probably not the default "beginners" or "don't think" mode. It's probably rather an adaptation of the "Speed" priority mode even for beginners. (The S on the mode selector) This allow good indoor without always ...

Pros: Lens, handling and speed. Quality of pictures, bargain price.Simplicity of controls & menus.

Cons: Small LCD fades in bright sunlight. Smallness makes some controls difficult to use.

Review: This is probably the smallest SLR-style P&S on the market, and it gives you top-notch P&S performance, not SLR performance, which could cost thousands rather than the $300 or so this costs. The Leica-designed 35-420mm zoom lens is a gem and gives you ...
