Conversion with ease from 35mm to digital
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 By Anonymous (17/06/2008)
- Pros: Excellent viewfinder, quick and easy to use, light, comfortable
- Cons: None so far
With regret I have used my Agfa Super Sillette for the last time. I dreaded moving over to the digital age but have been agreeably surprised at how easy it has been and overjoyed at the results. The instruction booklet was very clear and logical. It has been extremely easy to use on Intelligent Automatic and the zoom lens is great. There seems to be less need to use flash than with a convention... Read Full Review »

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 By Rachel Stelmach (21/03/2008)
- Pros: Light, fast, superzoom, accessories

28mm with 18X zoom - how do they do it?
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 By Anonymous (24/02/2008)
- Pros: Amazing lens capabilities, great photos
- Cons: Plastic body is rather...plasticy
Reasonably small camera with a whopping 18 x zoom, that starts with a really useful 28mm. Has manual & fully auto settings. Didn't think I'd use Panasonic's Intelligent Auto (does everything for you), but I do all the time - as it ensures great photos. I'll start to play with the manual settings soon - I promise.
