Product Description Experience the power of an incredible 18x optical zoom in a 8.1-megapixel camera that fits in the palm of your hand. From vast landscapes to super telephoto shots, the DMC-FZ18 gives you crisp, stunning images using a 28mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens. For macro shots, the wide-angle setting lets you shoot all the way down to one centimeter from your subject, while the telephoto setting can be used up to one meter (3.28 feet) from your subject. With the Extended Optical Zoom function, zoom power is boosted to around 28.7x (in 3-megapixel resolution mode).
Excellent camera for zoom loversAugust 19, 2008 This is the best camera for optical zoom lovers. This is the best in its class and delivers amazing results. I placed order with BuyNowInc they processed the order without any problems and this is the best service I have experienced in the recent past.
The camera does its job very neatly and has some very amazing options. I am quite happy with the camera so far and the only thing that can be improved his zooming capability while taking motion pictures/movie.
great cameraAugust 18, 2008 I used it during my holidays in Turkey. Very lightweight for hiking. Also I can used it inside museum as Santa Sophia basilic where flash is forbidden to take details of mosaic.
Battery LIfeAugust 18, 2008 The camera is all they say it is for the most part. The zoom is great, and the picture quality is very good. The display is intuitive, but the LCD is hard to see if you try to elevate the camera to take a shot over the crowd. I would buy this camera again. I found one major draw back and that was the claim, that the supplied battery gets 400 pictures. I took 200 pictures on a full change and the battery was about to give out on me after only 200 shots with maybe 30 using a flash. You will want a back up battery if you take a lot of shots with this camera.
Very Nice CameraAugust 17, 2008 First let me say I bought this camera for my wife, not myself so I have not spent much time with it. But the quality of photos taken by her has markedly improved with this Lumix. The zoom is easy to use, the low light capability is also very good for indoor shots without the flash, giving a very natural color. The battery life is also very good. For around $300.00 USD it's a good value and should it last many years, it will be an excellent purchase. It is so much nicer than my Samsung 8.1MPixel I am considering buying one for myself.
Panasonic FZ-18August 17, 2008 This camera is well worth the price and is super versatile. The fact that it allows manual control and shoots RAW images is a big plus. Its also fairly lightweight and not too big in size. The hood accessory included in the box is a nice addition.
It would have been nice to be able to zoom in and out when using the video. But one just has to predetermine the best focal length before pressing record. It would also be nice to have some indicator of focal length in mm when using the zoom. It gives an indication in 2X or 10X and so on. That means you just have to do a quick mental calculation to get an equivalent 35mm focal length. I noticed it has no macro mode on the dial. Most cameras do so I would say its not a good thing.
The toggle or joystick can be very useful once you get used to it. The shutter lag time is almost unnoticable. The 8.1 MP is for the 4:3 ratio mode. When you shoot at 16:9 ratio or the 3:2 (SLR) ration, the MP count drops to 6 and 7 MP. Not really a big deal but something you should note.
The best thing is that this camera does so many things well and will make a great travel camera.
