Product Description

 
Panasonic introduces the 8-Megapixel, 12x optical zoom LUMIX DMC-FZ30 inheriting MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer as an up-and-comer to its creative super zoom FZ double-digit line. The new camera is a follow-on to the DMC-FZ20, released in 2004. A smart trick, named Extra Optical Zoom extends the zoom ratio by using the center part of the high resolution CCD, to achieve 15.3x for 5 Mp and 19.1x for 3 Mp images.

Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ30 digital camera You may not need a dSLR

Date of Review:  Sep 7, 2005
The Bottom Line: The FZ30 has it all -- 12X image stabilized Leica zoom, 8 megapixels, and SLR like ergonomics
Review: The Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ30 replaces the very popular FZ20. Panasonic's product development folks designed the FZ30 to include most of the improvements requested by users and all the best features of the FZ20.

Date of Review:  May 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: Buy only if would 'never-ever' print more than 5x7 inches.
Review: In a digital SLR camera, you cannot see your views on the LCD screen before you take a photo. It is only after you take your photo that it apears on the LCD screen. Hence, a lot of imagination and prior thinking is required before you shoot your...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 - an image quality perspective.

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: I can recommend this camera for its features, good lens, and ergonomics, but only to users who don't need anything more than ISO 100.
Review: Introduction
