Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 dpreview.com User Reviews

Let me state for the record that I am a Canon lover and I bought this camera just because I was looking for a high zoom camera and Canon just refuses to go higher! Sorry Canon, I still love you, but now I love my FZ28 better! Here are my (more than) 2 cen...

This camera makes beautiful images and is VERY fun to shoot. that's what its really all about, right? lightweight, tons of features, easily navigated menus and a high quality lens. small enough to not burden you on the go as well. i love this camera.

the EVF is a bit on the small side, although its quite sharp.

Until now, I took about 400 pictures with the camera. The image quality is very good up to ISO 200 and still very usable at ISO 400. Obviously, the combination of Venus Engine IV with the seemingly new Panasonic sensor is a good "marriage". Pictures can g...

I used a step-up ring for attaching a converter. This caused problems when the camera shut down automatically (zoom error), and due to the turnable front of the lens, I had a hard time to remove the step-up ring. You should rather use an adapter ; I would...

excellent camera for those who do not need a reflex. Excellent image quality. It would have been excellent with a larger sensor and less digital noise at high sensitivity.

As just an amateur snapper the FZ28 allows me to have a good lens with fantastic zoom with the added benefit of HD video, There may be limitations in high ISO's and a DSLR and video may give better quality results, but this is a fantastic camera package t...

Remembering to remove the petal hood when using flash.

I've been an SLR user for much of 30 years, then moved to camcorder for a while, then Sony F717, 828 ... now Oly E330 with 3 great lenses. This purchase was for dear friend, who was using a 4 year old P&S. We considered and played with newest dslr's about...

Zooming is sensitive, due to the lever - goes fast too easily. But the ring approach that Oly 560/570 take isn't better, just different. Light weight and plastic feels cheap - and feels harder to hold steady on long zooms ; Lack of lens cap is strange, an...

I upgraded from FZ18 to FZ28, I can see there are much improvement on the image quality (lower noise). I used to play with SLR but now I'm getting no time to play on it, so this camera is the best choice for me with only 1 lens can do everything. The focu...

I always accidentally switched the recording / display button. The button should design on top instead of the holding part ; Macro focus length not as good as FZ18

Grabbed it just after 1 month of the global debut in Malaysia. Fantastic pricing for the package. Managed to get a Silver version with 2x2Gb (Class 4) SDs for RM 1,400. Pros: (As compared to Canon's new SX1) 1. RAW Format (unavailable in even the new...

NO problems so far, but the following features, would have been great (to ; compete with Canon's SX1. Perhaps we have to wait for FZ38?) ; 1. Stereo Audio recording ; 2. Lack of hotshoe ; 3. Lack of Vari-Angle LCD (swing out LCD like Canon) ; 4. 1080p FUL...

WOW! A camera that does what the PR people say. Great size and takes incredible photos. I took a later afternoon photo of the moon and got a sharp image of the moons creators using the standard 18X zoom.

Battery is too small. One important note: NEVER NEVER buys from Broadway. The scammed me to believe the camera I ordered was not for the US market and sold me a bill of goods. Still love the camera, but he supplier should find another like of work.

This is an excellent camera!
