Panasonic FZ18 Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: I'm a constant second guesser and worrier. After buying this camera, I have no regrets. It's not the perfect camera, but no camera is.
Review: We’d been itching for our biennial camera upgrade, the selling of the old on Ebay, and the purchase of the new. The Sony DSC-H1 hadn’t been any more unsatisfactory than its Olympus predecessor, but the Sony H7 offers a 15x zoom and more megapixels...

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: The FZ18 is an excellent camera for traveling, sporting events and more. With its combination of 18x optical zoom, optical image stabilization, ease...
Review: I have been using Panasonic cameras for quite some time, starting with their original mea-zoom camera the FZ1 with 12x optical zoom, image stabilization and 2-megapixel resolution. The new Panasonic DMC-FZ18 features 18x optical zoom (with optical...

FZ18 King of the Super Zooms

Date of Review:  Aug 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: Super Buy! Long zoom, great pictures, relatively small size and DSLR Features galore!
Review: OVERVIEW

Well, here I go again. I just can't quit buying cameras. Last year I bought the Panasonic TZ3 when it first came out and was hard to get and paid top dollar - same deal this year with the FZ18. I still own the TZ3 - fantastic...

The one bad item negates all the good.

Date of Review:  Feb 5, 2008
Review: I regrettably sold my Konica-Minolta Z3 before I bought this camera; it did everything I wanted it to, but I wanted more zoom. Actually my only problem with this Panasonic DMC-FZ18 camera is that there is NO ZOOM IN MOVIE MODE!!!! That is unheard of...

Love this camera

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: This camera is the best one that I have come across thus far
Review: The new fad is to find the smallest camera that there is such as ones that can fit in your backpocket, however the quality of the picture is heavily comprimised. This camera is light, small but not too small and gives an amazing picture. I have...

Great Camera, Amazing Zoom, Fairly Priced

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for zoom with the ease of a point and shoot and the capabilities of a SLR then this is the camera for you.
Review: In getting this camera, I did a lot of research. What it basically came down to was the zooming capabilities. It was a decision between this, the FZ18 and the FZ50 (only 12 zoom but 2 more MPs). I chose the FZ18 and have had no regrets. I find that...

Super Camera

Date of Review:  Jan 19, 2008
Review: I am a prosumer photo person and have several digital and film cameras but I use this one the most.

I like action and nature shots and this one is perfect for my requirements. Its zoom with a telephoto extender is over 700 mm to 35 mm in...

Perfect For All the Parents Out There!

Date of Review:  Jun 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: I recommend this camera to anyone wanting a quality camera with beautiful photos.
Review: With an upcoming birth of my third child a new camera was necessary. Since I love taking pictures I wore out my old, outdated Kodak EasyShare and was looking for an upgrade that would allow me take pictures at a faster speed. After a lot of research...

Excellent all-purpose camera!

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is an excellent all-around camera with enough flexibility for the pro, but easy enough for the average person to use.
Review: The Panasonic DMC-FZ18k is an excellent camera. It's the first digital camera I've purchased that does nearly everything I want a camera to do. I love the 18x optical zoom, since I do a lot of sport photos for our school. That telephoto and the...

The greatest camera

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2008
Review: After much reading reviews and opinions on the Internet I stay with this camera. Why? First, analyzing photos of some, Panasonic was the best. It just has chromatic aberration and distortion, even at maximum zoom. And the imperfections of the image...
