PANASONIC DMC-FZ8
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 By iain pringle (23/03/2008)
- Pros: Versatile, easy to use with many useful features.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 By Anonymous (09/06/2007)
- Pros: image capturing good texture of ojects
- Cons: under daylight, only ISO 100 & 200 are usuable
First of all, need to praise ukdigitalcameras for its execellet and reliable service. This is a camera for people who needs Image Quality, Easy of Use of Manual Functions, Big Zoom and Value for Money. The image captured may not be the best though good if you are pixel fans and crazy in analysing those image graphs but in terms of texture, it is one of the best because of the leica lens. It mea...
