Summary: If you need a camera with an extreme zoom range, the LUMIX DMC-FZ47 is a good choice: its 24x lens is sharp enough throughout the range to create clear pictures, with only a little resolution lost at maximum zoom. Its ‘bridge' design also makes it easy...

Summary: The latest Lumix superzoom, the FZ48 or FZ47 if you're based outside of the UK, adds to the stack of long-zoom compacts that have hit the shelves in recent months.

Conclusion: Fast autofocus gives the Lumix FZ48 (FZ47) massive brownie points, but the lack of Raw shooting (as per the last FZ45 model), a smaller zoom than much of the competition and image quality that doesn’t keep the curve on the up leaves the FZ48 feeling a...
