Great camera

Comments:
This has been great for bird photography and very easy to use. I have found that when I zoom to the max I have to work more on focusing. When the camera first came out in 4/03 I paid $469. Now I see it at our local Fred Meyer store here in the NW for $

Great Camera

This camera is easy to use right out of the box. The image stabilizer feature is a must for taking pictures at full zoom without the need of a tripod. Like who wants to lug around a tripod everywhere they might want to take a picture. The camera is small

I love this camera!

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1
Comments:
There is no TIFF or RAW image format on the FZ1.
Review Verdict: The FZ1 uses a proprietary lithium-ion battery to provide power. The included CGA-S002 battery has a decent amount of power -- 4.9 Wh. Don't expect hours of picture taking, though, as the battery will only last for about 110 minutes in record mode (50/50

Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ1 features a high quality Leica DC-VARIO ELMARIT 12x optical zoom lens, the most powerful zoom lens on any digital still camera. This all-glass aspherical lens is equivalent to a 35-420mm zoom lens on a 35mm film camera and maintai
