Other cameras may deliver higher resolutions and longer optical zoom range, but the Panasonic FZ28 proves the "more is better" presumption isn't always valid. Read more

Lightweight, durable, and easy to use, this compact 18X optical megazoom performs best in outdoor conditions.

Given the price (about $400), the Leica lens, the telephoto reach, the wide angle, and the camera's ability to shoot RAW, the Lumix FZ28 is a solid high-zoom point-and-shoot. Read more

Reviews: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 review, 18x optical zoom lens, mega OIS image stabilizer, Leica lens
Reviewer: Electronics Made Easy09 January 2009- Overall 10
You’d be hard-pressed to find better performance in the compact ultrazoom category, regardless of manufacturer. The excellent Leica optics, Panasonic’s leading edge Venus Engine IV image processor, and the camera’s incredible ease of use all add up to an excellent all-around digital camera. And it’s very easy on the eyes as well. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 Megazoom camera This could well be the eve of the disappearance of the Megazoom camera. In my opinion, this could apply to the Panasonic assortment. The Megazoom camera is based on a concept that has been around for a while, and with the introduction of the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ28 it has become clear that no genuine change has been carried out to the camera. The huge change lies in the arrival of the Micro FourThirds standard. Panasonic is one... Read more

Although it doesn’t boast the finest handling, isn’t the most solidly constructed and is a little expensive, the FZ28 is capable of nice images. Raw capture, fast focusing and an abundance of features make it a good all-round option. Read more

One of the best superzoom non dslr camera around
Reviewer: PriceGrabber16 hours ago- Overall 10
My sister had FZ18, and I borrowed hers time to time. Loved the camera and decided to buy Panasonic DMC-FZ28 for myself, and I am thinking that this Panasonic line is the one of the best superzoom non dslr camera around. I considered buying DSLR until I came to my senses and realized that for 99% of anyone's photographic needs these cameras fill the bill. If you're a professional photographer or really serious hobbyist, perhaps the cost and hassel of a DSLR is justified.... Read more

11 / 10 for this puppy :)
Reviewer: Digitalcamera HQ3 weeks ago- Overall 10
I originally bought this camera after reading a few reviews online and in the last few days I've had a few people asking me about it. While I love it I said I'd check out online what people think so I ended up on here and have been reading through a lot of the posts on here and my god its pure gold at times what I've been finding out about this camera and dSLR's in general so thanks to all posting on here. As I said in the title 11/10 for this camera key points being 1:... Read more

A great all-around camera for those who don't want an SLR
Reviewer: Amazon21 May 2009- Overall 10
Got this camera a week ago. Use the proper software they give you to view images as you will notice that the windows preview function doesn't actually show any photos from any camera in their full glory (it's optimised for speed) and this camera really does shine. Essentially, it does great macro and telescopic photos with a lot of flexibility for the manual and program settings. I feel I can take it anywhere and get a great shot in any situation. Definitely superior... Read more

Get great photos and lots of compliments on the photography!
Reviewer: Buyzillion.com08 May 2009- Overall 10
This is a fabulous camera. I've had it since just before Christmas, and I always have great comments from people who think I'm a "natural" photographer and want to know what kind of camera I have. It is truly the camera. I love the tracking, because taking pictures of animals and children can be tricky, but this camera makes it easy. Also, the zoom is phenomenal. I can sit in the balcony at my kids' schools and zoom in to their faces and the photos turn out as if I were... Read more
