Digital camera reviews of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28S 10.1MP Digital Camera with 18x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)

Digital camera Review: 2 Months of research - I nailed it with the FZ28
Summary: 5 Stars

I am just a photographer want-a-be but I am amazed by the Panasonic DMC-FZ28. I left off the "k" or "s" at the end because the cameras are the exact same (k-black body; s=silver) but when I bought mine the "s" was $10 cheaper -still is- and sold directly by Amazon (which offers free shipping and 30 days, no fuss returns-but you won't want to return it). I paid $268 - now it's $299 must be tied to the Dow Jones Average.

I have had the camera for only 1 week but the construction quality seems excellent. The pictures are fantastic, far beyond what I had hoped for. I have taken over 400 pictures from Macro to 128X zoom. Stabilization, even without a tripod, is excellent.
I am about to submit one photo to a local photo art show (Backus gallery -Fort Pierce, Fl) and I ran it through Photoshop for cropping and color correction. When I saw the results that Photoshop offered I cancelled and went with the original.

There are many reviews of the FZ28 but the best overall was Camerlabs.com which has a video review on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iJo0yAYcNA

Lightweight- but get the spare battery - battery life seems excellent but you will get carried away.
