Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5S 5MP Digital Camera with 12x Image Stabilized Optical Zoom (Silver)

by Online Shopper
Comments:
Though the Panasonic DMC-FZ5S Lumix 5 Megapixel Digital-Camera looks quite like an SLR - it lacks the ability to change lenses. But why would you need to? It has a 12x Leica Elmarit Zoom Lens that, at 6.0-72mm (35mm equivalent: 36-432mm), offers vast foca...

Product Rating: 3.95 star(s) Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 Digital Camera Review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 is a 5 megapixel digital camera with a 12x Leica optical zoom. (36~432mm film equivalent and f2.8~3.3) This lens has a remarkable focal length range and is fast (f3.3) even at its longest extension....
Review Verdict:
The Panasonic DMC-FZ5 is up against some stiff competition at the price. The Olympus C770 is a little cheaper, with not quite the zoom range (10x) and a 4mp sensor, but it is more robustly made and is a pleasant camera to use. These are the two obvious ca ...

QuickTake:

Pros: The Panasonic comes up to operating speed quickly and there doesn’t seem to be as much shutter lag as is usual with this type of camera with an electronic viewfinder.
Cons: The viewfinder is a tiny electronic, low resolution affair that is difficult to use in bright sunlight. The shape of the eyepiece holds spectacle wearers slightly away from the surround and light gets into the viewfinder. And it goes without saying that t
