Digital camera reviews of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8K 7.2MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)

Digital camera Review: Como volver a mi antigua Reflex con ventajas...
Summary: 5 Stars

Después de haber abandonado por varios años mi vieja reflex Konica, esta cámara me ha devuelto el gusto por la fotografía artística. Estuve evaluando la Lumix DMC-FZ8K y la TZ3, y me decidí por la FZ8K con este resultado:
PRO:
- Excelente zoom y apertura del lente Carl-Zeiss
- Ventajas del joystick en la operación manuel de la cámara.
- Buena opción para compra combinada con memoria sd de 4 Gb y batería extra.
- Gran calidad en video 720x480 30fps.
CONTRA:
- Es necesario concoer de fotografía para operarla adecuadamente.
- No tiene zoom optico o digital mientras se captura video
- Es un poco grande para caber en un koala, ya que las lentes no se colapsa totalmente.
- El accesorio para convertirla en wideangle 28 mm es muy costoso
Ha resultado como mejor opción (técnica y económicamente hablando) frente a cámaras profsionales de más de 600 US$.

Digital camera Review: Cool camera , really easy to operate and great pics
Summary: 4 Stars

I had heard about the Lumex range from friends , but had never tried out one. I found good reviews for this camera , on the net and via friends.

When i got the camera delivered , looking at the box , i thought its going to be a big camera (i really dint want a big one, its too troublesome to carry). I was surprised seeing the camera, its not at all big. Its ultra light , and fits my hand right. The 12x zoom is cool , but when i zoom full , I found the hand shake becomes quite a lot , and difficult to click photos. Although the image stabilizer works well ... but i would rarely use 12x , probably 8x - 10x works all right for me.

I have not tried out the thousands of setting options on the camera. I find it too technical. I have clicked a few hundred photos with this camera on automatic mode. I just set the camera on Auto and let it figure out the other details. The photos come excellent, thanks to the exceptionally good lens on the camera. The color depth and clarity on the photos is very good.

I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants a trouble free camera , who wants good photos without caring about the complex settings ... and I would certainly encourage the professionals to give this a try since it has sooooo many setting options.

Digital camera Review: DMC-FZ8 is a great value
Summary: 5 Stars

This camera is wonderful. For the novice that I am, it's perfect. The basic mode is very user friendly. LCD and menus are great. I purchased this model primarily due to the 12X optical zoom and have not been disappointed. This model has advanced modes that I hope to master as my digital knowledge grows. If you're looking for a camera that is easy to use with excellent features, I highly recommend the DMC-FZ8.

Tis is a wonderful camera. It is easy to use and can be used for any level of photography from totally automatic to fully manual. either way you get great results.

Digital camera Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars

I had the 5K (5 MP) model of this camera which was stolen. However, I have added three or four other digital zoom cameras to my collection which were better suited to my use since then, so when I got this I was disappointed. First, there is no external hotshoe for flash, the camera is small compared to the others I own. I simply found that I had outgrown this size camera. It simply pales in comparison with my Canon 5SIS and my Fuji Finepix S9000, so I returned it immediately. A less advanced amateur might find it perfect for them, though.
