The Lumix DCM-FZ28 is over a year old now, but it can more than hold its own against its rivals – and its age means that its price has plummeted. At £65 less than its nearest competitor and over £90 less than the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS, this is the m...

Panasonics FZ18 has been our favourite ultra-zoom camera since we reviewed it almost a year ago. Its successor isnt much different: the only external changes are a slightly larger LCD, up from 2½in to 2.7in, and a new playback switch. Still-image...

This 10 megapixel pseudo SLR is the latest iteration of the Panasonic superzoom (Leica-branded lens with 27–486mm focal length) The lens has very effective image stabilisation and is sharp at all focal lengths. The electronic viewfinder is not great b...

The lens is magnificent. The effectiveness of the image stabilisation is simply sensational – hand-held photos taken at full zoom extension, equivalent to 486mm, are amazingly sharp. Image quality at ISO speeds up to 200 is very good. ISO400 is OK a...

Unfortunately if you opt for the Intelligent Auto function you won’t know what ISO speeds the camera is choosing until after the event. Auto white balance is poor and the camera is easily fooled under artificial or mixed light sources.

This camera is a pleasure to use. The bad old days of intolerable shutter lag in all-in-one superzooms are well behind us – the Panasonic is as responsive as any compact camera. It can’t match a true SLR, but it is priced against the low end e...

Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-FZ28 is a 10.1 Megapixel super-zoom camera with DSLR-styling and an 18x optically-stabilised zoom range. Announced in July 2008, it comes one year after the Lumix FZ18. The new model is strongly based on its predecessor, but fea...

Massive 18x range with 27mm wide angle, RAW recording and correction of fringing, HD movie recording in the 720p format, Compact light body with full manual control.

Fixed screen and smaller EVF than before, No flash hotshoe, Tendency to use small apertures in automatic, Lens cap blocks barrel upon power-up.

As we said at the top, the Lumix FZ28 may only represent a minor upgrade over its predecessor, but since that was already one of the best super-zooms around, it places the FZ28 in an even stronger position. Beyond minor irritations with the lens hood...

Although it doesn’t boast the finest handling, isn’t the most solidly constructed and is a little expensive, the FZ28 is capable of nice images. Raw capture, fast focusing and an abundance of features make it a good all-round option.

The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 is the successor to the popular, one-year-old FZ18 camera. The defining feature of the Panasonic FZ28 is still its massive 18x zoom lens, now equivalent to a slightly wider-angle 27-486mm focal length. The FZ28 is a b...
