Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5

Date of Review:  May 16, 2005
Review: I just bought one and am very disappointed to find that a user can not change the degree of zooming when in movie mode; in other words, once you select a focus that includes a certain amount of telephoto zoom, you are stuck at that zoom level till...

Great Upgrade from Point and Shooter

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2005
Review: I bought this camera for my wife after seeing her struggle with the limitations of her Canon A60. Don't get me wrong the Cannon A series take geat pictures. But the benifits of the faster lense, zoom, lower shutter lag, additional megapixel, and...

Panasonic DMC-FZ5 & FZ30

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2006
Review: Do not consider buying these cameras. The Customer Service is a bad joke! I have owned both these cameras. The FZ5 came with no manual; I could not get one. At last the dealer found one - it costs $25! No-one in customer service can speak English...

Excellent higher end consumer camera- Panasonic FZ-5

Date of Review:  May 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: I recommend this camera for someone who needs a highly versatile digital camera with many options but doesn't want anything professional.
Review: The Panasonic FZ-5 is definitely not the camera for someone who wants to just take a few pictures of their friends and family. It's a much more advanced camera than a simple point and shoot. This is no SLR, but then again, nothing compares to an...

Awesome pictures and zoom. Menu lack a lot of information.

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2005
Review: Great pictures. I don't even have to use flash for indoor night pictures as I can adjust the brightness to suit them. I can use this feature to make most pictures in dreary weather conditions look bright and great! Pictures are very sharp. Zoom is...

A plastic toy

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 2005
Review: Panasonic DMC-FZ5

I'd like to be able to write a comprehensive review of this camera, but it only lasted two months and I didn't even get to the end of the manual. One day the camera was on a low tripod when one of the tripod legs gave way...

Outdoor still use only

Date of Review:  Oct 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: Save your money and buy a real camera
Review: Basically, if you're only going to be shooting outdoor stills, this is a fine camera. If you're someone who needs to take shots indoors, or of moving subjects, look elsewhere.
I wanted to like this camera. I bought it to replace a malfunctioning...
